@CAPABLE2KNOW,
It really depends on the sport. The best documented odds generator is pari-mutuel horse track betting. You can read about it here.

@CAPABLE2KNOW,
They do not as a matter of fact calculate odds they instead balance the bettings so no matter who win they can take their commissions

So once more the odds are just the combine opinions of all the betters in the betting pools as near as the bookmakers can figure it.
