[Football] Same game multi: confused

Just done two same game multi bets on tonight's match.

Duffy anytime scorer & Brighton win
Dunk anytime scorer & Brighton win

I'm confused as the odds on Duffy scoring are 11/1 and the odds on Dunk are also 11/1, so how come the two bets above return different combined odds?

The two events within each bet aren't necessarily entirely independent; e.g. we may win more games where Dunk scores as compared to those where Duffy scores, so the conditional probability would differ (and therefore the odds.)

It's more likely though that they have just been lazy pricing up the combination

Thank you. Makes sense.
