8/5 means you will get a $8 profit on every $5 wagered. So, $800+your original $500 bet. You'll get back $1300 but only make a profit of $800. Not bad.

$800, but you only won $300. Not a good bet unless the horses are really good and the purse is big. Even then, it's not a good gamble, but a lot better than a cheap horse race.

$1300.
8/5 x $500 which is $800, plus your original $500 back.

8/5....pays......5.20 for every $2.00 bet......
if you bet $500.00 to win you get back........
for every $200.00 you get.....$520.00.....
plus you get back.....$260.00 for every $100.00
so your return will be....520.00 plus 520.00 plus....260.00
$1300.00..... your profit will be $800.00......
