What is even money in gambling?

What is even money in gambling? What's the most you ever lost on a coin toss? Sir? The most you ever lost on a coin toss. I don't know. I couldn't say. Call it. Call it? Yes. For what? Just call it. Well, we need to know what we're calling it for here. You need to call it. I can't call it for you. It wouldn't be fair. I didn't put nothing up. Yes, you did. You've been putting it up your whole life. You just didn't know it. You know what date is on this coin? 1958. It's been traveling 22 years to get here. And now it's here. And it's either heads or tails. And you have to say. Call it. Look, I need to know what I stand to win. Everything. How's that? You stand to win everything. Call it. All right. Heads then. Well done. That was No Country for Old Men. One coin, two outcomes, everything on even terms — call it. That's even money: win exactly what you risked. A bet that pays 1:1. No juice advantage. In plain terms: even money doubles you up — one hundred wins one hundred. On the American board it prints as plus one hundred. “Getting even money on that? Take it.” Let's use this example. One hundred dollars at even money returns two hundred: your stake plus one hundred profit. Compare minus one ten, where one hundred profits only ninety dollars and ninety-one cents — the difference is the book's cut. Lines and prices can differ by sportsbook. Nothing here guarantees a result or tells you to bet. Lines move and books differ. Nothing here is a guarantee or a command to bet — it's how the number works.
