Solution
The odds given are 11 to 77, which means for every 11 units you win, you must risk 77 units. To calculate how much you will gain if you bet $6363 and win, we can use the ratio of the odds.
The formula to calculate the gain is:
Here:
- Bet amount = $6363
- Risked units = 77
- Units won = 11
Substitute into the formula:
Therefore, if you bet $6363 and win, you will gain approximately $909.37.
