    You are correct. Sorry for the confusion. I was driving a sprayer on limited sleep but you are right. I was only thinking from the betting side not the bookie side.

    The house CHARGES a 9.0909% vig but they only collect on half the bets (if they achieve equilibrium) so the overall edge for the house is never 9.0909%.

    What you are talking about is closely related to my second scenario. If they take 220 in action (110 on each side) then they are making a profit of 10 every game, not a profit of 20 (which is required for the 9.0909%). 10 profit represents 9.0909% edge on THAT side of the bet alone, but in the grand scheme of things they are taking more than one side of a bet which is why 9.0909% isn't the full answer to the question.

    We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie
