I thought Sportsbooks set lines for bets on either side?

Sportsbooks usually don't (e.g. you can't bet $100,000 to win $1000 that the Rockies won't win the world series this year), but exchanges like Betfair and Tradesports do allow you to take either side of any bet.
Some guy on Betfair figured he could make a few easy bucks by offering a 999-1 bet on a horse in the back of the field a horse race that was almost over. The front runner fell, and the next few horses either were tripped by the downed horse or had to really slow down to avoid it, and this horse in the back ran around them all and won, costing this guy hundreds of thousands of dollars.

That's awesome.
