I am a little bit confused, if someone would place a big bet on Verstappen/Bottas, would the odd for Hamilton to win not increase instead of decrease?
Odds depend on total amount of money put on different outcomes.
Let's say there's a basketball game between teams A and B. Till now, 10 BTC has been put on team A and 10 BTC has been put on team B.
Regardless of the time weight multiplier and assuming the house edge is 5%, the odds for each of teams would be 1.9.
If you bet 2 BTC on team A, the amount put on team A would increase to 12 BTC. This causes the odds for team A to
increase decrease to 1.74 and odds for team B to
decrease increase to 2.09.
Thanks for explaining this all as now I understand this all very easily very helpful post by you and your posts mostly very good and helpful for me and many other members those want to understand this all good work.
