May it be added that I've never done this vBookie thing here or anywhere else.

Hey hitt, hope these answers help.
A. When I created the event the site I used (hyper link in the first post) had the senators as the favorites. Of course I made that the night before and the odds will change from time to time on these sites based on news that has become avaliable (injuries, line up changes, ect) and sometime based on trends that people are betting. So the odds may have changed from from a Senators being the favorites to the Amerks being the favorites from when I posted it and when you checked.
B. Yes that is exactly how they work. Like you I use the European decimal system when I determin the odds, hiowever the system we use here on the vbookie automatically returns the money bet if you won (which equals that missing 1.00 on the odds). The odds above only show the money that you would win minues the money bet.
I also want to not that the odds on the site are different form the ones i posted because they sometimes only give the 1x2 system which allows the opertunity for you to bet on a tie (which in hockey means going into a shootout). I run their odds trough a formula to get the odds that I provide.
