First person to take the bet, its on.

Covington is close to -300 odds meaning you would need to wager 9k to win 3k

Actually, you need to factor both numbers when eliminating the house odds.

My random search shows currently -335 / +260.

betting "100 dollars" on the underdog would net you 260 dollars, whereas, you'd need to bet 335 dollars on the favorite to win 100 dollars. In order to eliminate the house odds, you average the two. You still came up with the correct 3:1 odds, but you do need to factor the underdog position as well.

I mean no offense. Its a common mistake as it is not an intuitive system designed to help people. Bookies work their magic to exploit regardless of our experience level, we are never to mature to learn.
