Stick vs. the World

How would we develop a scenario where the 'investors' could anticipate a reasonable return, the players could be reasonably rewarded, and the incentives would be such, for all, that no collusion would be rewarded?

The investors would probably have to be convinced that whoever they were backing was a favorite, however small that might be. Others might do it for the good of the game expecting it's basically a coin flip anyway. The players could be rewarded in the same way, as much money as they were willing to put up they could receive in return, 100% return for whatever they put up, no rake, and presumably every player/team would assume they had the edge. (like the Danes v. World event where the World thought we were small favorites and the Danes thought they were big favorites lol)

There are also sponsorship opportunities for the players, a possible nice kickback. (added money)

As for the collusion are you worried about the other team taking a dive while betting on me? You can't be worried about me colluding can you?
