I was considering some of the things on your post. Especially the "rewarding outlandish bets" part. I was thinking that cows get a fixed amount of points, let's presume 50, and if people guessed right they get the proportional part of points. So for the Keffals 41% speedrun would be:
Keffals joins the 41%
20 people guessed right
they get 3 points each
(rounding up, so minimum is 1 point)
Some people added extra flair to their bets, things like "OD on heroin" or "Blamed the farms" so if their added detail is more or less correct, they get an extra 5 points.
For getting it WRONG, same thing, but with fixed scores as well, maybe a lower fixed threshold like 5. Punishing harder on people that placed a "safe" bet and lost.
Since you added a trophy emoji, let's add Trophy/Achievement. Things like "Most accurate" for people getting it consistently right (minimum of 2 guesses) "Most outlandish" for people that made the least popular predictions and still nailed it, etc... Same could be made with negative tropies, just don't add extra penalty, shaming and naming should be enough.
Work in progress. May be added to OP eventually.
Scoring
For each cow on each category, points will be awarded in fixed amounts or depending on the number of people "n" that placed a bet on each cow for each category. This way outlandish but correct bets get greater rewards than safer bets. On the other hand, getting it wrong will deduct more points if the bet was considered 'safer'
Edit: I forgot to quote you like some exceptional individual
Edit edit: If the predition of @Dagoth AMOGUS that NO ONE the rest guessed commits sudoku, I think he deserves at least 10 points for each cow on the table. Same but negative if he's wrong. Big risk, big reward!

| What? | Score |
| Placing a bet and getting it RIGHT! (round up!) | +50 / n |
| Placing a bet and getting it WRONG! (round down? deduct at least 1? Decimal points?) | -n / 5 |
| Extra details on your bet more or less match the result | +5 |
| Nailed the details like a fucking "Nostradamus" | +15 |
| Hat trick! Won at least one bet on every category | +10 |
| [...] More incoming... | |

If it's for the guesses people are making I think it should be:
