    Rookie needing some pro advice.

    I go thru a local bookie. And he offers odds on games that are nothing i understand. Not 11/10, ML, or O/U. Appreciate any sites for gambling for dummies. Or your time. Some of his odds are 3/5, 7/10, 9/20, 1/3. And so on. Will send points for good help.

    Divide the left number by the right number and add 1 will give you decimal odds.
    11/10 divided is 1.1 add 1 = 2-1 odds, 1/3 divided is .33 add 1 = 1.33.

    Without adding 1 is what you will get per dollar bet. 11/10 is +$1 for every dollar bet.
    1/3 is .33 for every dollar bet.

    Decimal odds are better for figuring your money and getting the true odds of a game.

    I get those kind of odds at the horse track. GL
