Brief explanation

For example, Brazil VS China, only two results can be bought. Nine people each spent $1 to buy Brazil to win, and one person spent $1 to buy China to win. At this time, Brazil’s odds are 10/9 (1.111), and China’s odds are 10. The bookmaker lowers the odds in order to make a profit. Suppose that the bookmaker wants to make a profit of 0.5 USD, so the odds of Brazil are set to 1.056 and the odds of China are set to 9.5 (if Brazil wins, the bookmaker will make a profit of 10-1.056×9=0.5; if the Chinese team wins, it will make a profit. 10-9.5=0.5). When bookmakers set the odds, they are not based on their predictions of the outcome of the game, but to a large extent based on the public’s prediction of the game, and obtain a relatively stable profit. In fact, when you bet, you are not betting against the bookmaker as on the surface, but betting between the punters.
Of course, if you buy it only once, the result of winning or losing may happen. When you buy more than 30 times, the law of large numbers will ensure you make money.
