How much is a monkey in betting slang?
£500.
In practice
A monkey is £500. So "a monkey each way on the jolly" means £500 each way on the favourite, which costs £1,000 because each way is two bets.
The Funteron way: fans should not need to know any of this to have a bet. Funteron is designed to show every bet in plain words and in money: what it costs, what comes back if it wins and what you lose if it does not.
