Hi Stringostar,
I'm a Celtic fan too. I bet them the last time they played Man Utd at home and have done so again for tomorrow.
However, rather than taking the 11/4 with the bookies (which incidentally would give you a return of £18.75 and a profit of £13.75) you should sign up on this site instead...
http://www.betfair.com
...and use the following bonus code on the sign-up form...

For starters, Celtic are currently priced at 4.3 with them, so this would give you a return of £21.50 and a profit of £16.50 (a much better return!), but if you use the bonus code above you'll also receive a free £20 bet from them.
Hope this helps.

You would win £11 for every £4 plus your stake would be returned back to you.
The fraction would be 5 x 15/4

11/4 means for every £4 pound you put on you will get £11 plus your £4 back. so if you put a fiver on you should get £13.75 plus your fiver back. If you win

11/4 means that if you placed a bet for £4.00, you would win £11.00 plus you would also get your stake back, so you would walk away with £15.00.
If you placed a £5.00 bet on it at those odds, you would win £13.75 plus your stake back ,so you would walk away with £18.75. Good luck!!

If you really want to make a profit, bet with ur head not ur heart - do the draw - and, as the man says, betfair is where you will get the best price.

well you would get £11 for every £4 you put on so if you put £5 on you would get £11.90 or something around about that
