      If you put a 100 on you would get 237 back, showing a 137 profit

        Keep in mind the numbers are necessarily reflective of who the oddsmakers think will win. The goal is to get even money on both sides. So say Margarito is a 2:1 underdog and everyone is throwing down money on him then the oddsmakers will close the gap by trying to get more money put down for Cotto.

          Indeed, everyone has to make a living. Even these oddsfellas.
