This is probably a really dumb question...but here it goes. In regards to the wager $110 to win $100. If you win your bet, do you get back the actual bet that you first placed? It just doesn't make sense because it seems that you would always be losing.

yes, you get your money back, so if you bet 110 to win 100, you'd get 210 back.

To break even, you'd have to win about 52.5% of the time assuming you made flat bets. Doesn't sound too hard, but that extra juice can be extra painful if you hit a losing streak.

the extra ten is the juice or vig for the bookie. you only pay that if you lose. if you win you get back the whole $110.00
