The risked money in a bet is only lost if you lose the bet. So, if you are wagering $1000 ($500 x 2 outcomes) and either outcome hits you lose the $500 from the outcome that didn't hit but don't lose it from the other.

So if you bet $500 at 1.57, you can look at it as $500 x 1.57 = $785 but you "lose" the $500 bet, so you net $285, or you can multiply the $500 x 0.57 to see how much you win just "risking", but not losing your wager for that outcome.

Does that make sense?

They are calculated the same way. It's all good.
