    How could you not be tempted by that? It's almost certainly gonna happen.

    I might stick 1-200 on it. I want Povetkin to win, but I don't see him going this match without hitting the deck once. What you guys think?

    Ofc I might be happy to see Whyte cold and in ICU.

    I do not dream to see Pov able to do normal shadowbox in high speed 10 rounds not alone to fight someone.

    If he will beat up Whyte then this will be upset of 100 years. Especially if consider covid and hospital twice.

    Yeah, Pov's balance is poor, so he isn't the get stopped on his feet type.

    Does Skybet let you bet 100-200 bucks on it? I don't think so. Skybet has HORRENDOUS limits.

    I already expect when Pov will lost, most likely, there will be a lot of comments how hype job he was and bum etc.

    Whyte will not box when he will be 40, not alone 41, bear my words.

    Whyte could fight for 100 years and he'd still never surpass the ability of Povetkin.

    1/2 is an implied probability of 66.6%. Is it more likely than that to happen? If so there's value there. But it's also possible that Whyte stops Povetkin on his feet, KO's him in one punch, Povetkin KO's Whyte in one punch, drops him multiple times, stops him on his feet or Whyte runs for 12 rounds and it goes to a points decision without Povetkin being knocked down. If all of these outcomes I mentioned combine to add up to more than 33.3%, 1/2 is bad value.

    Here's some easy money: make a Marathonbet account and hedge Whyte to win (17/50) with Povetkin KO/TKO/DQ (81/20) at a ratio of about 4:1, slightly closer to 3:1 if you give Povetkin a good chance. You will need to put down at least a few hundred to make a reasonable profit but it's virtually guaranteed. If they fought 100 times, I'd be astonished if Povetkin got a draw or better on the cards even once, let alone 5 times.
