Tornado Alley (PROG)

So say you:

Your argument suggests betting odds influence the performance of the game and lead to different outcomes.

Bullshit, that is pure imaginary nonsense you opine...we were contemplating the influence of bettor gender/activity, many dynamic influences, etc. that apply variable pressures on and shift the odds. I said, implied nor inferred anything remotely adjacent to your quote. Don't make up shit and ascribe it to me. Nice try, Alice!

I used "black box" to describe your "No..that's not how it works. They are odds....gender does not come into play. Ever....AND...No gender...just formulas.

Not to mention...

How bettors influence odds

It’s not just oddsmakers who play a role in influencing odds. Betting patterns, especially from high-stakes gamblers, can give a hint to oddsmakers that they’ve erred somewhere in their initial odds. Sharp bettors placing large sums on an unusual outcome can give sportsbooks a nudge to reflect an unforeseen insight.

It’s all these disparate factors that affect how odds change so rapidly in the lead-up to major events as money pours into the betting pool, creating opportunities for those paying close attention.
