Lol it really doesn't matter how ridiculous I make the odds; people are going to mass back the favourite every time, aren't they? Might as well just open them at 1.01 ffs. I've opened an 85% book with the team indexes to the power of 5 ffs and look at the betting.

 

Yeah, it legitimately is fucking awesome odds for Queensland. And I'm not just saying that to make people counter Eggman's bet. I've ripped the odds program apart and basically told it that favourites are about 10 times better than they actually are, and I jewed my margin, and this still happens.

 

This is what the odds would've been under my original code:

NSW City - 1.79
Queensland - 2.02
