It

Hi,

"That, of course, would not be the end of it. Having picked off the weakest wildebeest at the back of the herd, the markets would look for the next weakest. In some ways the most interesting number yesterday was not from the City but from the bookmaker William Hill: it put the odds on a country leaving the euro by the end of 2012 at 11-10."

[From The Guardian.]

Does the pronoun "it" in the clause 'it put the odds on a country leaving the euro by the end of 2012 at 11-10' mean 'the most interesting number' ?

Thank you.
