Polybet is backed by Peter Thiel’s VC firm. Thiel is the former CEO of Paypal, billionaire, JD Vance financier, and blood-boy aficionado. The skewing is coming from inside the house. It will (probably) be used as “evidence” to drive the fraud allegations if the wrong side wins.
But on to the whole gambling odds thing: Odds given by gambling sites or bookmakers in general, are not just based on the likelihood of the results, but also the bets placed.
They are a useful indicator as to who gamblers think will win, but that’s all. It's wishful thinking at it's most distinct example.
