Yes, everyone noticed that and before we all thought that this game will make Manny as underdog but it seems that it didn't through the odds.
Yes you will see only few out there becoming underdogs when it comes to gambling. For example when it comes to poker, and when you put in all your money, you have a 40% chance to win at the game. Only few end up making it to the top tier and those are the crazy guys with some good amount of luck and experience which matters a lot in gambling.
How did you measured that 40% chance to win? I used to believe that there's a lesser chance but I have no exact measurement for it.
