In betting what does 7/5 equals to in decimal points?
Answers:
In some places where the decimal points odds include the stake, 7/5 is $2.40. 7 is the amount of winnings (excluding the stake) and 5 is the stake. No one would bet on odds-on events (e.g. 1/3, like the odds for Tiger to win the next Major) otherwise.

It is not about decimal points.
It means that for every $5 that you bet, you will win $7 if you win.
1.4 to 1 are the odds using these two numbers. Divide 7 by 5 to get the 1.4 showing that 7 is 1.4 times greater than 5. Since you reduced 7 to the ratio of 1.4 then you divide 5 by five also, giving you 1. Ergo the ratio of 1.4 to 1 and these are the odds you're talking about.
7/5 is the odds of a specific team or horse. So if for example the Detroit Tigers were listed in the newspaper as 7/5. It would mean if you wanted to win $50 you'd have to bet $70, to win a $100, you'd have to bet $140, etc.
7/5 = (100/5)*7 = 140
140/100 = 1.4
If you bet 100 and you won, the payout would be 140
