    I can't tell... you gotta lay 100 to win 30 on Mijares... but i'm not sure if he's more or less than 7 to 3 favorite

    thoughts?

    you wanna see if its a good value bet then take 330/430*100, if you think he has more than that percentage chance of winning, its a good value bet.

    in this case, 77%

    Personally, I'd want at least +350 if was betting on Vic, so yes, I consider it a value bet. Of course, there's the school of thought that argues laying this kind of juice is never a value bet, but that's another story.

    Mijares by KO around the 9th or 10th.

    well it was less a math question and more a question of do u think mijares has a greater % chance than that to win?

    Mijares cant lose this fight so any odds on him are safe odds.

    Worst value bet I can think of.Place it on Vic .He has a much better chance of winning this fight than the odds suggest.

    **** no. This is boxing ANYTHING can happen. Mijares could get cut by a punch and the fight could be stopped he could slip on a wet spot and break his anckle. Or maybe I don't know it might sound crazy but just maybe Vic's awkward style might be a hard style for Mijares to figure out. Hell maybe Mijares can't take gis punch??

    To many ifs, ands, buts, maybes and possiblies in boxing to lay over 300 dollar only to win 100 back.

    Mike Tyson could lose to Buster Douglas.......... or to Holyfield. Baldimir couldn't beat Judah........... Hopkins couldn't beat Pavlik.

    It's boxing ANYTHING can happen and Vic IS a good fighter.
