An easy bet question (from novel): A victory is paid 8 to 1; B victory, 3 to 2

Hello, friends!

That comes from a novel! There is a competition between two teams. The A victory is paid 8 to 1, the B victory, 3 to 2. Does that have any sense? It doesn't seem a great business for the bank!

Thank you!

Why bank is coming into this picture?

Thanks for your time!

Bank... I mean, the one who organizes the bet stuff. Is that a good plan for the game director or the players have adventage with these odds!

I think Maria means bookie, not bank. She said, "the one who organizes the bet stuff".
