Suppose a total of $11,000 is risked by bettors to win $10,000 on a favorite, but only $5,500 is risked by bettors to win $5,000 on the underdog...Look what happens:
If the dog wins, the book makes a profit of $6,000. (He keeps the $11,000 risked by bettors on the favorite, and pays the underdog bettors their profit of $5,000.)
If the favorite wins, the bookmaker loses $4,500. (He keeps the $5,500 risked by bettors on the underdog, and pays the favorite bettors $10,000 in winnings.)
Essentially, then, in that example, the bookmaker is risking $4,500 in order to win $6,000. In that particular case, he actually breaks even if he can win only 42.9 percent of his 'bets.' Rather than laying $110 to win $100, as is the case with sports bettors, the bookmaker is in effect laying only $75 to win $100! Those are very, very big odds in favor of the house. To the house, when bettors have risked twice as much on one side as the other, every bet is +133! In order for you and me to win $6,000 we'd have to risk $6,600 - not $4,500.
