My friends dad makes a nice bit of money putting up stupid odds on popular tv shows where people bet on those they really like/dislike so it's a very exploitable market.

Or it is until betfair start taking much bigger cuts of your money.

Sounds like your friend's dad found a good racket though. Those people must be fucking morons.

It's one of the few gambling stories I've been told where I've actually thought yeah that sounds like a legit clever way to make money. We're probably talking a couple hundred quid over the course of a series though, nothing special but a nice bit of spending money.

People who might want to mitigate losses as a result of us staying/leaving, or people who think they know something that others don't? idk, I'm guessing.

I had no interest in betting on it. I was only interested in the odds from a polling pov.

Those were my guesses too, along with pathological gamblers who bet on everything under the sun.
