GGG is a favorite (-170) over Canelo

For every 100 you get 140 betting on Canelo.

 

Good just the way I like it. Time to put around $750 on Canelo and get a nice return on my bet. I hope the odds keep getting bigger.

 

Making out like bandits right after while watching fanboys squirm on the other side!

 

Yes

 

That is really a stupid way to put odds. Muricans should finally switch to superior notation, the decimal odds.

If an average Murican bets $550 to +230 odds they will never figure out how much the profit is. Sad.

 

Well done Pimple! Pawn those chrome hubs and gold chains! Put it allll on Canelo Y'all's soon be getting back the big buckolas. The buckeroonies, is what I'm talkin' about. Canelo is the guy that will get you from Pimp-C to Pimp-B

 

$750 to get a quick $1000 plus is easy money.

 

You're not betting any money on Canelo, stop it.

 

Yes I am. I'm picking him to win. I honestly believe he's going to win.

 

And totally risk free, too. You should take out a mortgage on your house and put it all on Canelo. Oh wait...

 

American odds do indicate the profit: the profit on a bet at +230 would simply be the amount risked x 2.3. It's decimal odds that don't indicate profit, but rather the total potential return (risk + profit). If I want to know the profit I have to get out my calculator and subtract the risk from the odds. What decimal odds really aren't easy for is knowing what amount you'll have to risk on a favourite to win a specific amount: I can look at -520 and see right away that to win $20 I have to risk 104. And I like to bet 'to win' my determined amount of unit(s) on faves. If I look at the decimal odds equivalent of 1.19 how can I guage how much I'd have to risk to win $20? It's because American odds do indicate the profit rather than mixing up the risk with it that I prefer them. In the end I don't think we can say one is superior, they're just different.

 

$750 isn't that big of a bet. If I lose it oh well. You can't be scared to put it on the line. You'll never win like that.
