I see your point, but I don't think the servers' viewpoint is clearly wrong. In your book-selling example, there is $10 changing hands hence the commission is computed as a percentage of $10. In a backgammon server setting, you don't know who is 'buying' and who is 'selling' at the start of the game. So both players put $10 in the pot. Then there is 4.9% taken from the pot as rake. The winner gets the pot. So you can say the commission is 4.9% since the amount involved was $20 and not $10, but of course it's 9.8% of the winner's profit.
