Can someone break this down for a dummy who knows nothing about gambling/odds?

Sorry for my ignorance.

obama is favored: you bet a lot and can't win much.

4-1 means you bet one and can win four.

7-5 means if you risk 5 you only win 7.

2-3 means if you risk 3 you can only win 2.

15 on obama will get you 10 if he wins

15 on mccain will get you 21

15 on hillary will get you 60.
