What is oddset ?

* Oddset means sports betting with fixed odds, the punters do not compete with each other but directly with the company. If the predictions are correct the odds are first multiplied with each other and then with the amount of the stake. That means that the customer himself chooses the amount of the stake as well as the possible winning. The odds are calculated by the company and are then reported to the customers by newspaper, leaflets or via Internet.

neutral xxxFrancis Lee: Erm, what does this have to do with the German original? Are you sure this should be a glossary entry?

  -> Oddset betting (which is what this is about - see asker's context) is not about punters looking at a game plan. Hope the added definition helps clear things up for you.
