1/1 odds means you won't make any money if its true... this competition is rigged.
1:1 odds means you win the same amount as your stake. As you always get your stake back you effectively double your money.
Bet 1000adena at 1:1 (or Evens as it is called) and you win 1000a. That 1000a plus your stake (1000a) is what you get back. So you bet 1000 and get 2000 back.
I suggest you do more horse betting 1:1 means you get your money back if you win.
Think about it. Horse betting is different. You pay for your betting ticket up front, so with 1:1 odds you come out even. Now consider a bet between 2 people, where they each put up a dollar. That is a 1:1 bet, even odds, with the winner walking away with 2 bucks.

Uhh... it's called math folks. You know... 1:1 is equivelant to 100%. That means theres 100% confidence in the bet and therefore no risk, therefore no gain. I can't believe you guys here. And here we have a Monster Derby Track, random full drops, % chance of success recipes, Strip Dice (my favorite), chance landing of criticals/skills. We are all really gamblers in a sense, Lineage 2 is a gamblers game. :P (Maybe thats why we are all addicted :cool:)
