I don't think most bookies pad the odds I think they charge a fee for their services. Could be wrong about that, I don't know a lot about bookies i admit.

Well the bookmakers are nearly always less generous than betfair. On the occasion they are more generous, there's money to be made.

Eh, I don't understand what you mean by 'generous'. Assuming it's an either/or outcome (i.e., either A happens or B happens), then if you're adjusting the odds to be more generous to one side (say the people who bet on A), you're automatically being less generous to the other side (the B bettors).

Maybe I'm missing something tho.

Generous in terms of odds.

2:1 is less generous than 3:1.
