The interesting 2-1 to 3-1 underdog scenario in boxing.

I sure hope you exist after May 1. I have a feeling you won't, though. These dummy accounts typically get sacked after Floyd demonstrates his superiority in the ring.

 

At some point every boxer has been or will be a dog. Yes sometimes the dog wins. Sometimes big dogs win. Overall the odds are usually correct. The public, other then in mega fights doesn't move the lines much. Oddsmakers take into account how the public will view the fight. When Pacman was to fight Mayweather the opening odds had Pacman as the favorite. It wasn't the public that moved the line it that case it was the sharps. They hammered Mayweather at a plus number. A week later Mayweather was like -150 or more.

Claiming that the odds for the mayweather fight are inflated is somewhat accurate. It is in anticipation of the public money. If the money doesn't come in, the line will drop or the book has made a decision to take a position on the fight. Most of the people I respect online and in print don't really see Mosley having much of a chance. It will be a wide UD for Mayweather. SO... bet your money on Mosley, hope you can sway a lot of people to do it. I'd like to bet Mayweather at a better number.
