Well, everyone does, but in this case, it specifically comes from the winners, right? The losers bet and lost $1000, while the winners bet $1000 and only were paid $900 ($1900, counting their original bet).
As I see it, they took $1000 from both sides, but then only passed on $900 from the losers to the winners, keeping $100 in the process.
Right?
I would think they would want the betting to be as balanced as possible - not necessarily bet for bet, but in the long run. It should all work out for them provided they are making good lines.
