Pacquiao is no longer the huge favorite...GOOD!

I haven't checked the odds, but I have a feeling this has 2-1 odds in favor of the pacman....​

 

Just checked BETUS betting site... Pacquiao is sitting at -260 and Cotto at +200...

Pacquiao gained more as the favorite of this fight... He started at -200...

 

what was he for the hatton fight? -265/-280 wasn't it?

 

Yes, those were the odds after the weigh-in... PAC was initially installed as 2 to 1 favorite to defeat Hatton (at -200)... It increased to almost 3 to 1 after the weigh-in...
.

 

I still expect amongst the betters, pac to be a heavy favorite over cotto...

amongst fight fans, its probably closer then the betting odds.....but I heard a stat once, where vegas odds are right about 97% of the time....don't know how true it actually is...

 

:thumbsup

 

This is what m sayin. here in NSB, pac and cotto are almost even in every poll. i bet, around 70% of those who voted for pacs were pinoys. Geez, imagine if no pinoys were allowed to vote.. and it would be a landslide victory for cotto. lol

 

ridiculous comment.

You think professional gamblers aren't fight fans? You think they just randomly throw money around and hope for the best?

Guys, you're making yourselves look REALLY stupid by going down this path. I mean, borderline ******ed.

Cut this **** out. Sportsbooks and high-rolling gamblers are typically the most informed, not the flood of *******s and alcoholics desperate for attention on ESB.

 

jjax, what can you say bout this? it seems you are pure hate.atsch i am not questioning the intelligence of those bettors. its not the point. we are only talking about the polls here in ESB, k? peace:good

 

odds are not made simply on who will win the fight. odds are moved by who people are betting on. I take it you don't gamble much. The line in vegas on the cubs to win the world series are usually like 4-1. Those are not the actual chances of this event occuring. All the stupid cubs fans around the country move the odds by taking this stupid bet.

 

:deal

 

I take it YOU don't gamble much.

Lines on obscure props move for every bet because so few people bet them. A cubs fan with 1000 to lose can move the lines. For a fight with boatloads of money being wagered like Pac-Cotto, the lines will be accurate, especially at closing. It might take a 50g wager to move the line.
