Ethical TAB question

(Mods move if in wrong place)
 
Just saw a hilarious bet my dad made. Germany and ARgentina to make the final,$10 bet with a return of $400. What Dad doesnt realise is that these 2 teams are on the same side of the draw,it is impossible for them to meet in the final.
 
I plan on laughing at him when he gets home.
 
But my question is: SHould the TAB be offering odds on something that is 100% impossible? Once i stopped laughing,I personally think its actually really bad.

Actually, if Germany finish second then it's still possible that they could meet in the final.

Three for me, and two for them.

tab wont offer odds on outcomes that are impossible -  to the best of my knowledge

I find the first goal scorer option odds quite bizarre. Clapham is the same odds as Leo and less than all the other midfielders and defenders? Yes, he is an attacking midfielder but no game time during warm ups would suggest he is the last outfield player Ricki would bring on. You could put your house on the fact he will not get on so how does he have the same chance of scoring as Leo and less than Nelsen and co?

Clapham is so good he is actually capable of scoring from the bench.

Three for me, and two for them.

Bizarre considering that Reid, Nelsen and Vicelich are three of our most likely to score from set pieces.

you will find you get a refund if they have not been on the field b4 the first goal is scored, therefore the tab cant offre huge odds for him first goal as it would be a non loose bet really for the punter, if by some chance he got on and scored, the payou is huge but if he doesnt get on at all you get your money back
make more sense?
 
oh and sorry about the bump again
