    Such is the case w/ Manny Pacquiao. I was watching a video on YouTube and this girl (Elie Sechback) said that she had never seen anything like this. Is this true? Is it a freak occurrence in the world of betting?

    Usually the odds just get smaller if there is a legit belief the underdog has a good chance to win but don’t think it ever switches around to the favourite becoming the underdog.

    It's betting....the odds will change in any direction required that will attract more gamblers.

    So Elie is full of dog poop? I've never really bet before, so I don't know anything about it. The odds to me are very confusing and I have no idea what they even mean.

    Just like Jake from State Farm, Elie Seckbach is a guy.

    Were you even watching a video or did you make this all up?

    Elie is full of ****. It happens but not that much. Pacquiao opened as the fav VS DLH and by fight night Oscar was the fav. Maurice hooker opened as the fav for Ramirez and he’s now the underdog. Those are the ones right off the top of my head. I’m sure there are plenty more.

    This happens often in close fights. I was in Vegas in May, and tossed $100 on Manny while he was still the underdog. I had a feeling odds would flip, feeling really good about my value right now.

    this happens a lot. I see this happening frequently in tennis. its nothing special, its just odds movement influenced by certain factors.
