Texas Holdem Player Guide - Learning the Lingo

Some gambling terms:

Odds

The odds are what everyone uses to see how much they will (or won't win). If the odds at 4/1 (four to one) then for every pound you bet you will make £4 - but that's if you win!
 
Evens
Evens are the odds of 1/1(one to one), so for every pound you bet you will win a pound. If for instance you bet £1 you would get a pay out of £2, less taxes.
 
Each Way
This is two bets really. If you bet £10 each way you're actually betting £20. This is good if you want to bet on certain horses coming first and other horses coming in second, third, etc.
