5's or 5 to 1 means you will get 5 times your stake back, plus your stake, so £5 at 5to1 nets £25 profit, plus £5 from your stake, meaning £30.
Does that explain it slightly better?

I don't have the luck to be a betting man though
Well, if it's any consolation, I tend to pick three legged donkeys on the horses!
Dogs are very hit and miss, and it's more fun actually being there, and using The Tote.
Betting on football is well hard. The times I've had 9 results in, and ManUre lose at home to Barnet or whatever, and I potentially lose a fortune in winnings!
Still, a bet on Croatia tonight is good odds, so well worth a few quid.
