For what it's worth, that corresponds to vig of 4.545%.

Math not being my strong suit, I always wondered how 110/100 = a book hold of around 4.5%, overall. I understand that a breakeven would be 5% --- where do they lose the other half percent?

One way of looking at is that for every $110 a player bets, he'll pay $10 in vigorish half of the time. So:

vig = -50%×$10/$110 ≈ 4.545%

And in EV terms, where vig is the negative of a player's EV:

vig = -EV = (50%×$100 - 50%×$110) / $110 ≈ -4.545%
