Alright.

I think the market shows 'the liquidity available per option', not the total sats fronted by the owner.

In the case of USA vs world, I had the market open at 50/50 so my maximum possible loss was only about 1400 sats considering either side wins.

But if I had incred the odds in favour of 1 team, it wouldhave cost me more considering that the team with lower odds might as well win.
