From what little I can remember from the time I spent working as a porter in a Book in Vegas, 1:1 (aka even money) means the odds are that it's going to happen for sure. However, to my line of thinking, you're at least theoretically correct on the higher payout angle.

Shouldn't it be 1:β? IF...I remember correctly, β:1 implies it'll never happen.
but it's a higher payout because the odds are longer.π π€·ββοΈ
