As the other commenter said I think everyone understands it is feasible for someone here to accomplish de-obfuscating the code but the actual question was "Can anyone decode this and figure out the odds generator?". As in "can anyone take out the trash" like actually take the time to do the work of taking out the trash. Not as in explain that it is in fact possible for a dedicated person to tie up a bag, lift it out of the bin, take it outside, and put it in a dumpster. One of those quirks of speech.

I gave it a quick shot with some spare time, was selfishly hoping someone else had done the work when I checked back :p.

If the economic incentive (or some other abstruse incentive) is great enough for a someone, then that someone will do it, if it's strictly possible and within the scope of their resources, i.e. because they stand to gain / be fulfilled / for the fun of it / experience fame and glory / etc.
Perhaps the original ask is better explained as: a request for someone here do the actual deobfuscation.
Nice way to put it. :-)

I don't feel so incentivized at present, sorry if I'm letting you down.
