Default Basics???

Real Simple Q's:

1.What is the average cost to make a wager. Say I put $10 on the Redskins tonight with the 7 point spread. What will the average bookmaking site charge me for the wager? 10%? Less?

2.Am I correct in understanding that if I bet $1 on the Redskins at +270 I will win $2.70 if they win and if I bet $1 on the Eagles at -330 I will win $1.33 if they win. So the bookmaker is taking about how much? Do they charge me to make the wager or do they just arange these odds to profit long term?

Thanks
