First of all if the horse was 3-1 it would have paid S8.00. However if you bet $100 on a horse that pays $4.00,which is even money, you will recieve $200.

If you placed $100.00 on a horse to win at odds of 3-1 and the horse wins you'll get a return of $400.00 of which $300.00 is profit and $100.00 is your original stake.

There's a number of online calculators you can use to work this out, like this: betting calculator

3-1 odds pay $8.00 for a $2 bet figured this way - $2 bet times odds of 3 to 1 is $6 plus original bet of $2 = $8 ($2X3+$2=$8). Hence $100 bet times 3 = $300 plus original bet of $100 = $400 gross payoff. To obtain 'profit' amount subtract $100 original bet from $400 gross amount received to arrive at $300. Shortcut for profit is muliply odds times amount bet (3 X $100 = $300). Shortcut for gross amount to receive is bet amount ($100) times payoff for $2 bet ($8) divided by 2 (because $8 payoff is based on a $2 bet) or $400.

I think I am correct in that if the odds were 3 to 1 and you bet $100, you would get the $300 pay-off plus the initial $100 bet paid back to you.
