It depends on what you mean, but here is a basic description of how it works. Payouts in gambling games are based on the probability of winning, but the payout is less than the true probability of winning. Just as a basic example, the odds of rolling a 12 in the game Craps is 1 in 36, but if bet on the 12 and win, you only win 30 times the amount bet. So basically, you would have to make a $1 bet 36 times to win $30.
