If it's 1:1 you win your bet back, nothing more.
If it's 100:1 you win 100x your bet.
If your bet was $1 you win $1 back in the first scenario.
You will $100 in the second.
Today the ducks are -170 and huge favorites. I'm less familiar but think a bet of $100 wins you your $100 back and then $170 more.
