Why equal-payout splits, not probability-weighted?

The split is calculated so that every outcome pays the same amount. This is not about which team is most likely to win. It's about locking in a profit regardless of who wins.

A probability-weighted split would allocate more to the favorites, optimizing expected value. But that means your actual return depends on which team wins. If the underdog takes it, you lose.

The equal-payout approach removes that risk entirely. If the combined odds create an opening, you profit no matter what. If they don't, you wait.
