Bookmaker Payout

I was interested in opening up a bookmakers shop in my local town. Does anyone have any information or websites that would put me in the right direction for this?

1) How do you get a bookmakers license and how much

2) How much of a float would you need to get the business running

3) Is that duty 1% of bets received or payouts

4) Any useful links?

5) Any other info?

Regards.

I want to payout and they're requesting back and front scans of my cc, I mean they also want an authorization form with all my details lol so yeah I guess what I'm asking is it a legit website (no scams) — I heard a lot of good things about it that's why I used it I'm just trying to make sure.

Thanks.

This is kind of a silly question, I'm fairly new to horse betting. I've just placed a few bets on bodog.

My question is when you win a 'win', 'place', or 'show' bet do you get your wager money back + the payout or is it included? Like for example if a favorite won the payout is around 2.10 to 2.50 or a little more. Now I won a couple bets and I'm pretty sure on my $2 wager bodog only paid me .40, (a $2.40 payout). So like my $100 bank was now $100.40? Instead of 102.40

Again probably a dumb question but I'm sure someone can answer it. So do bookmakers keep your wager on horse bets? Cause I know with sports betting I get my wager back + the payout.
