And this should not come as a surprise to anyone since the odds are not purely a product of performance expectations. Betting houses need to make money, so in addition to calculating on the basis of projections, that also need to factor in the popularity of one team over another among the betters—odds are affected by where the money is wagered, a lot of which is not necessarily all that “smart.”
