One characteristic of a parimutuel system for a relatively illiquid market is that the odds can swing quite drastically whenever anyone bets. In fact, even the amount one person bets is going to affect the odds they will get, so you need to display a table of odds for various bet sizes. This may or may not be a problem, but I've found it requires more... infrastructure (notifications etc) for people to avoid being confused by it, and give people a chance to withdraw their bet if the odds are no longer favourable (alternatively put in stops, but that also complicates the system.)
