With a lot of the mis-match games (ie: NZ vs Tonga). You have NZ by more than 7 at 1/100, and NZ by less than 7 at 2/100. (these are $1.01 and $1.02 in real life values).
If you think NZ are likely to kill it by 50 points, shouldn't the "less than 7" odds be something more like $1.50? (3/2) at least. By giving attractive odds you'd suck in more money for an unlikely outcome.
It is extremely unlikely that teams like Tonga/Canada/US/Russia will put up a fight. So the odds should be big. And those of us who think these teams will put up a fight in a particular game, can have something reasonable to bet on?
*This is just a thought. It doesn't matter much really because it is just a fun game. If it is too much effort to figure out the right value for each individual game I'd say that is fair enough. I don't know how you make the odds though.
