    8/11 was standard odds (a coefficient, rather) for betting on Fury to win: https://www.oddschecker.com/boxing/deontay-wilder-v-tyson-fury/winner Now for ladbrokes it says 4/6 but I guess they just adjusted the odds, because to many people were betting on Fury.

    And, no, most bets on boxing are 3-way bets. At this point I have doubts you completely understand what a 3-way bet means. It means there are three natural outcomes for the event.
    For example, an example for a natural 6-way bet would be casting a die — the number of outcomes is 6.

    Dude, what are you trying to accomplish?
    He explained to you how betting works, since your knowledge is obviously inferior, yet you keep trying to prove something?
    Arguing for the sake of argument about things you know little about makes you look silly.

    In some quarters when it’s a 2 way bet and it’s s draw, the bookie will pay half face value of the ticket. This means if u have backed the outsider u can still earn a small margin profit and the opposite for the favourite....... for example, you have 100 in fury @ 6/4 or $2.5 and the value of ticket is $250 half of that is $125 meaning u still made / won $25. The opposite would roughly be Wilder @ 1/2 or $1.5 for argument sakes with that 100 invested the ticket having 150 collect but only $75 if a draw meaning a lose of $25.

    Obviously that example above is based on percentage of 100% ..... bookies usually place anywhere between 7-15% margin meaning Fury and Wilder odds invthe above scenario may both be % lower in real terms and if a bookie has an even book he will still earn his 8-10% margin regardless of result
