1. Not all viewers will place a bet. I certainly haven't nor has anyone I know in real life.
2. Only votes with C4 will count. I have certainly voted with C4. So while I have not influenced the betting odds, I have directly influenced the outcome of the eviction nominations.
3. People bet for different reasons and sometimes people bet on the longshot because of the odds they can get.
