    In red are the Bodog lines right now.

    What are you betting on? I was thinking about picking Cotto but the odds aren't too good. I only win .38 cents for every dollar i bet. Not too good.

    I'm thinking about going with the under in the 9 1/2 rounds.

    Thoughts?

    I wouldn't bet this fight. I don't think there's an edge either way at the current odds.

    Betting Margo to KO (only), and over 9.5 rounds would be a smart bet tho...Bet twice as much on over 9.5 rounds

    I think Cotto won't KO him and Margarito wont UD cotto

    Cotto is the increasing favorite as we get closer.

    If you want to bet on Cotto there are better odds at online books other than bodog. At sportsbook.com Cotto is -220 and at sportsinteraction.com Cotto is -227. I'm almost positive you can find Cotto at -200 if you do some extensive searching. I've had bad experiences with sportsbook.com so I refuse to use them these days. I'm heavy on Cotto at -227 on sportsinteraction.com.

    My instinct tells me if you want to bet on Cotto you should get your money down soon, because I feel like the action will be heavy on Cotto and the payout will slowly get worse as we get closer to fight night.

    If you want to bet on Margarito you should probably bet right before the fight... you'll get fabulous odds.

    I think Cotto takes this fight though... and in much easier fashion than "experts" think. In fact, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Cotto will dominate.

    I don't think this fight is going to be all that close to be honest. I think Cotto is about a 75% favorite (maybe even 80%), so anything -300 and below are good odds to take.
