I understand you point of view too, and very well. But your position is good for long term betting, while our limitations is better for short-time contests, in a length of 15 days.
I suppose the one can find a value in 1.8 - 2.8 odds, and still show good result on one stage (which is limited by 7-15 stakes by the way). I suppose that's a very little number for such retalively big odds as 3.5
Also we want to create a spirit of competition. So if one lucky guy will pick say 5.0 odds, and luckily 3-4 of them win, just by chance, he will overplay all other guys on the current stage, and intrigue will be lost till the next stage starts
