What's the equation to determine the necessary breakeven win % between -107 and -110?

Thanks

If you lose 100 games for $100 a piece at -107 you are down 10,700
You then need to win 107 games for $100 and you will be even.

So you need to win 107 out of 207 games.

51.69% to break even.

you need to win 52.38% to break even at -110 using the same math principle. You need to win 110 out of 210 games.

for a standard equation - (AmtBet*Vig%) / ( AmtBet + (AmtBet*Vig%) )

110 / (100 + 110) = 52.38%
