Alrighty, I'm ready to open betting on tomorrow's game between the Valhalla Spirits and the Bohemia Bakers! I've done a bit of research into Sports Betting odds, and I believe I've come up with a system that will be fair to all betters, and to the house.
In this match, after taking into effect Statistics and Abilities, the odds slightly favor the Valhalla Spirits. The betting odds are as follows:
Spirits 100:112
Bakers 100:132
This means that for every 100 gold pieces you bet on the Spirits, you will earn 112 if they win
For every 100 gold pieces you bet on the Bakers, you will earn 132 if they win
Betting is OPEN! Place your bets before the game begins tomorrow (Saturday, Feb 15) at 6 PM EST.
Please remember that the Gold Bluff Casino fee is 10% of every winning bet.

I used the betting odds used by casinos... 'Course, the problem comes from the fact that those odds assume there are people betting on *both* teams ¬_¬

Keep in mind, that you can pick multiple teams (at 100g each) in the Pick Your Pony wager. However, all entries must be in before first tip-off on the 20th.
Also, in the Weekend Warrior wagers, late entries (ie. next weekend) will be accepted, but those players will start with 0 points. So, it's better to participate from the start.
