The way i understand it, you have to offer a bet that will entice someone to choose the odds you offer, or find someone to take a "don't" bet. As an exchange, they take a vig of the transaction, but there is no "house" per se.
So if the tote shows a horse at 6-1, and I have a strong conviction that the horse won't win, I can offer someone 8-1 and make my own book.
In essence, laying 1-8 that the horse "won't" win.
I can see this advantagous when taking the wrong side of a heavy underlay.
How many times would you have liked to get 5-2 on a 2-5 to lose?!

I just act like I am the book,there are alot of big bettors that love that chalk.But I also have the advantage that I dont have to take the bet after looking at the race.If I feel there is a horse that is 2-1 at the track,and really dont like the horse.I will offer to give him 5-2 on the horse if the person likes him.What odds do you think Sumoneluvsyou will be today ??
