Floorball: Umea City v Sirius - Value

I really know nothing about Floorball. I didn't even know it was a sport until about 20 minutes ago.

In sweden tomorrow, there is a floorball match between Umea City and Sirius.

Why am I caring? Well, I found it odd that there was basically £1000 worth of betting on this match. Doesn't sound like a lot right?

Ermmm, it's a grand on a sport I've never heard of and nobody else is betting on any other matches. Not only that they aren't betting on the favorite.

Umea is the favorite at 1.88
Sirius has odds of 5.3
The draw has odds of 3.1

Nobody is betting on Umea. And £500 is basically bet on the draw and £500 on the Sirius win.

Irregular - yes, suspicious - no. Why?

Both teams are shockingly bad. I mean really bad. I know nothing about floorball but it seems that scottish under 12's girls team for floorball (and we don't play floorball) could beat both of these teams blindfolded.

So essentially for 2 very bad teams and the favorites having really short odds, why would you bet on them.

Can't really blame somebody for sticking a punt on the draw and the sirius win. seems like good value.

who will win, don't know, don't care. at least it's not suspicious.
