even money
After each player has their turn, the dealer will turn over the hole card. The dealer will draw cards as long as their hand total is 16 or less. If the dealer has 17 to 21, they will stand. If the dealer goes over 21, then any player who didn't already bust will win.
If the dealer does not bust, then the higher hand between the player and dealer will win.
Winning wagers pay even money, except a winning player blackjack which pays 3 to 2.
========================================================
Does "even money" here mean the Player got the same amount as his bet?
For example, if a player bets $100 he will get $100?

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: 1:1 is correct, as the player wins the same as his bet (see my discussion post)

: The odds are even. If you bet $X and win, you get $X back plus your initial $X.

noun
noun: even money
(in betting) odds offering an equal chance of winning or losing, with the amount won being the same as the stake.
"players bet on each throw for even money"
It looks like you've both got the idea, but the wording of your posts is awkward and could be confusing. (specifically the use of 'gets'). Kiet's 1:1 is correct but the explanation is potentially unclear.
To simplify, the player wins the same as his bet, and that is added to his original bet. So at even money, if he wins 100 from a 100 bet, he now has 200. He doesn't get 100 but he wins 100. I hope that clarifies things.
