Stake

STAKE

The stake is the cash amount that you place on a particular bet. Your potential winnings or losses are calculated according to the size of your stake.

For example, a 4/1 bet means you win 4 x your stake. A 5/2 bet means two and a half x your stake.

Mr X will advice stakes on all tips (see Points below), but you should never stake more than you can afford to lose.
