Who comes up with odds? A roomful of 130 IQ grindset alphas who dominate every business and social setting they enter and are constantly nursing a drink and at least two hot women after 3pm?

Nah, some guy in a track suit with slicked back hair, a gold chain, and a permanent cigar. He has stories about blacking out with Benny Binion and Amarillo Slim and doing blow with Steve Wynn and Stu Ungar. He knows where the bodies are buried - literally.
a Haralabos Voulgaris comes along from time to time, but mostly it’s punters playing with their rent or alimony money, made worse with the just hook it to my veins that is sports gambling on the phone with real time props which is where the rain men come in

Uh-huh. The same ones that wear Axe Body Spray, start every sentence with “”bro”, and have those doughy man boobs by the time they’re 40. That rented BMW is another sign that they’re around.
You do realize that odds are determined by how much is wagered, right?
It's amazing that so few people realize this.
Most people think that they are betting against the casino or the bookie.
The simplest way to explain it is something like:
You (betting heads) and your friend (betting tails) are betting $1 each on the flip of a coin. I am booking the bet. I collect $1 from each of you. Heads comes up, and you win. Your friend loses. I pay you your $1 back, plus 90 cents. I keep 10 cents of the $2 total bet.
A casino or bookie isn't in the business of picking winners; they are in the business of taking as many bets as they can on both sides of the bets, and collecting the vig or rake or carrying fee or hold, or whatever term you want to call it.

Makes you realize that someone would have to be full ret@rd to own a casino and have it go bankrupt.
