If you have a roll of 5000$. You should bet
Bookie 1 = 3571$ for team A to win
Bookie 2 = 1428$ for team B to win

and (i'll leave the maths to you) you'll make a sure profit of 2142$ no matter who wins.
I guess you left the math to us because yours is completely wrong. If team A wins, you win $5,714. If team B wins, you lose $1. This is obviously a profitable situation, but where are you getting $2,142?
