For instance i see that DSI and WSEX both have (most books as well)

<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"><tbody id="392511"><tr><td colspan="10" class="lines-contest-title">T 9 9/1 (F) RAFAEL NADAL VS SAM QUERRY (US OPEN) (1:30 pm ET) </td></tr><tr class="lines-contest-header"> <td valign="bottom" height="25">Outcome </td><td valign="bottom" align="right">
</td><td> </td><td>
</td><td valign="bottom" align="right">Spread </td><td> </td><td>
</td><td>
</td><td valign="bottom" align="right" nowrap="nowrap">Money Line</td><td>
</td></tr><tr class="lines-contest-oddrow"> <td>RAFAEL NADAL </td><td align="right">
</td><td>
</td><td>
</td><td align="right">

</td><td>
</td><td>
</td><td align="right">
</td><td align="right">-2000
</td><td> </td></tr><tr class="lines-contest-evenrow"> <td>SAM QUERRY </td><td align="right">
</td><td>
</td><td>
</td><td align="right">

</td><td>
</td><td>
</td><td align="right">
</td><td align="right">+1000
</td><td> </td></tr></tbody></table>

How do these books charge this much juice on these longshots?

If you want to win 180, I lay the 500 and play the parlay.

Nadal/Venus/Serena parlay 500 to win 184

Radwanska 60 to win 180
