Do you know anyone who bet money on Douglas to beat Tyson?

Yes but only in a movie that I saw.

 

NO...

If i remember correctly the only casino in Vegas sponsoring odds, was the Mirage, and Mike was a 42-1 favorite:deal..

I can't remember if there were any takers on Buster , it was too many years ago...

 

There were probably quite a few betters on Douglas.
The casino sets the odds to get an equal amount of money on each side.

 

As I recall,there was one bet by a roller from Ohio(busters home State) who did place a $100,000 bet on Douglas and scored big time.Must be nice.:thumbsup

 

Eddie Futch picked Douglas to beat Tyson, he should have put some money down

 

Nobody I know, including myself(although I'm not a gambler). There was pure surprise and shock for me at the end of that one.

 

Biggest shock ever. I did have a nose for upsets around this time but there's no way on Earth,Heaven or Hades did I see THIS one coming.

 

Nope. I remember thinking it would be a decent fight and that people were underestimating Douglas (who had looked good vs Tucker and had a great jab). But to me that meant the first few rounds might be competitive and he might go the distance. Douglas actually winning the fight was not something I even contemplated.

 

Douglas his father put a 10000 bet on him...

 

Most people on this board, if you believe them that is

 

i was 1 years old, the bookies wouldnt accept my bet.

 

Considering Tyson had never lost, bookies would have put up ridiculous odds for Buster outright, at least 25/1, even in 1990

 

42/1 ...
