I think rounding up to 2% caused problems. I bet 10 points on team 27 being a finalist at the buckeye regional. The odds were 6.03181818 and yet I only won 10.2 instead of 60.3. Same thing, I bet 2 points on team 85 being semifinalist at buckeye with odds 42.35000000 and yet was paid 2.04.

One more question on how the odds work. For the buckeye regional quarterfinalist, every single bet was a winner. In that case, does everyone get the posted odds (in which case the house would lose money, because the odds are calculated as if that bet was the only winner) or does everyone get back exactly what was bet, because the pool was split among the winners?
