Straight betting??

[Ross81]

I'm new to sports betting, so forgive my question I'm about to ask.

When doing straight betting, so you bet $110 to $100, if you get the game correct, wouldn't you be out the $10? I do not understand this, and would like some clarification.

Thanks.

you only lose the juice if you lose the wager. so, on a -110 play, if you place 110 to win 100, you get 100 if you win and lose 110 if you lose.

and you'll also get back your wager you put at risk

you win, you get 110+100.
you lose, you get 0.

You can also think of juice this way:

You bet $100 to win $100, but you pay 10% extra if you lose on (-110). For -120 you pay 20%, etc etc
