What does 5 to 2 odds mean?

The tote board does not show decimals, therefore, 5/2 odds means that the odds on a horse are 5 divided by 2, or 2.5-1. Win payoffs are calculated based on a $2.00 wager because at most tracks this is the minimum bet. Example #1: A horse that wins at 5-1 will return $5.00 for every $1.00 wagered.

These are the odds placed on the horses by the track’s handicapper when the race program is published, before the wagering starts. At the track, the odds will be posted on the tote board before the race; they change up until post time, depending on how customers are betting on each horse in the race.The horse that customers have bet the most money on is called the "favourite". This horse will have the lowest odds.The "longshots" have the least amount of money wagered on them and therefore have the highest odds. The racetrack handles the money, keeps a percentage (called a “take-out”) and calculates the horses' odds based on the amount of money wagered on each horse. The remaining money is then paid back to the players who have winning tickets.Win odds on the tote board are displayed based on $1.00 unless otherwise noted. A "3" displayed next to a horse's number indicates that the horse is 3-1. An example of an exception to this general rule is when "5/2" is shown. The tote board does not show decimals, therefore, 5/2 odds means that the odds on a horse are 5 divided by 2, or 2.5-1. Win payoffs are calculated based on a $2.00 wager because at most tracks this is the minimum bet. Example #1: A horse that wins at 5-1 will return $5.00 for every $1.00 wagered. If you had placed the minimum bet of $2 on that horse to win, your payoff will be: $10 (5 x 1 x $2) + your original bet of $2 – for a total of $12.Example #2: A horse that wins at 9-2 will return $4.50 for every $1.00 wagered. If you had placed the minimum bet of $2 on that horse to win, your payoff will be: $9.00 (4.50 x 1 x $2) + your original bet of $2 – for a total of $11.Generally, payoffs are as follows, based on a $2 wager:

How a $20 bet turned into $579,000?

But one bettor was right on the money in his picks for the AFC and NFC championship games. An online bettor won $579,000 by correctly guessing the exact scores of the Bengals' 27–24 win and the Rams' 20–17 win, raking in the cash following a simple $20 bet.

si.com - NFL betting: Bettor turns $20 into $579000 on once-in-a-lifetime parlay

Sunday’s results were relatively unexpected in Las Vegas, with the Bengals pulling off an upset win over the Chiefs while the Rams beat the 49ers but did not cover the 3.5-point spread. But one bettor was right on the money in his picks for the AFC and NFC championship games. An online bettor won $579,000 by correctly guessing the exact scores of the Bengals’ 27–24 win and the Rams’ 20–17 win, raking in the cash following a simple $20 bet. And even better for the gambler in question, the original payment was part of a free credit. Perhaps this lucky bettor will press their luck in Super LVI as Matthew Stafford squares off against Joe Burrow. Though if the gambling gods have anything to say about it, it’s best if the next bet is one with relatively low stakes.
