Quite possibly if the money was massive. The bookies don't care who wins, they frame the markets solely to make a profit. In a 50/50 choice like heads or tails, the bookies would go 10/11 on both to build in their profit margin. If all the money was going on heads, they would balance the books by going odds against on tails.
