TailWag,
Anyone uncertain what a weighted harmonic mean is can easily look it up. Whereupon they will note that your formulas are not weighted.
The well-known fact that Betfair choose to inflate its matched bets figure by doubling them, will not alter the end result - as you yourself noted.

Meanwhile anyone troubling to study the above might find this paradox about weighting cute:
