Id say go ahead with any odds requirements and we'll see how people feel about it over the weekend.
I think its a swell idea and would have asked myself except that it really complicates your tracking if you have a lot of entries to go over. Not that it is difficult to double-check, but it is another tedious step and that is when errors tend to pop up. Perfection isn't expected and mistakes are fine, but you just don't want to start something that is going to become a job itself and regret it straight away.

If you want to take it on, I say go for it, but it does create a scenario where you could conceivably just look to play rock solid 4-5 shots with a minimum odds criteria of 8-5 or something and try to grind on the margins by playing high likelihood winners with minimum odds that are probably most often unrealistic. Again, it isn't an exploit or anything, its a legit approach obviously, but I can just see it leading to you spending a lot of time eliminating entries that never got close to the odds requirement and realistically never figured to.
