I don't have to give them better odds then they'll accept

It's a steal at even odds

It's still positive EV at much worse odds but not worth my time

1. They didn’t accept those odds.

2. You can’t know whether it’s worth your time or not since you don’t know how much the wager was for.

If you’re 99% confident, 10:1 odds with a 10x larger bet is still a steal. My guess is your confidence is somewhere just north of 50%.
