Has Wlad Klitschko ever been an underdog before?

Shows how ignorant some of you people are. Wlad was a heavy favourite even in the UK for the fight. Don't tar us all with the same were British we win everything mentality.

 

I recently ploughed Janice right up her big fat ass, so she will be in no condition to attend court for the remainder of the year. You're safe, for now. When she is back in the office, suggest we head to the board room and invite DDDUUDDDEE to take minutes of the meeting where I repeatedly punch Janice in the back of the head. I'm off to finish mowing the mother****ing lawn now. It's taken me all day, Sean because I'm so hungover. It didn't help when I mowed over some dog **** that released this God awful smell. That's why I stopped, wretched for 20 mins and came on here.

****.

 

Wlad was +175 against Peter in his first fight...a fairly big underdog.

In their second fight Wlad was something like -800, one of, if not the biggest swings in odds I can remember from a first fight to a rematch.

 

What does this mean in English?

 

haye a massive underdog in britain,best price was 4-1.wlad was 1-8 ON.

 

what bookmakers do you use that use + and -?
im intrigued

 

Surely not... that's what they started out of, but 2 days before the fight Wlad was still the favorite but only about 2/3 at British bookies. There were some threads here on the subject that British betting was heavily influencing the original odds.

He was still the favorite at the time of the fight of course.

IB takes them from orinal bookie sites, and they were even closer at fightnight.

 

It's an American way of looking at odds.. Used and based on assuming your betting 100 dollars.. So the + would mean if your bet $100 on Wlad in the first fight you won $175 profit. And with the - in the second fight, it would mean you'd have to bet $800 on Wlad to win $100 profit.

Now if you decreased or increased the amount risked, you would just have to do the math to figure out the payouts. As with many online betting sites that are worldwide, the better has the option of viewing or reading the betting lines in American+-, Fractional, and decimal.
