It is absolutely standard to bet to win one unit on favs and risk one unit on dogs. So much so, that if you go to most major books and enter that you want to bet 100 on a -140 play, you will end up with 140 to win 100. Standard.

its funny, when i was first starting up in this game, i was attempting to bet $45 to win $10 on Anderson silva vs sonnen. i mistakenly bet $190 to win $45. it was my first time betting on a favorite at 5dimes and i wasn't aware that i was entering the the "to win" amount. lol.

I am aware of how sportsbooks work, and you are aware of how irrelevant that is. You're also aware of what quality of gamblers bet "to win one unit on favourites, risk one unit on dogs"

Yeah nunsie, MD is right; how sportsbooks work is completely irrelevant to sports betting.
