What were the betting odds on Calzaghe-Lacy?

2-to-1 Lacy based on punching power ( and hype) I suppose?

 

Lacy was a monster favorite. Its a great story, Warren had 10 grand on Joe to win, Warren cleared up anyway.

 

loko talking ****.

Odds were even, Lacy slight fave.

 

Lacy 8/15 on just to win

Calzaghe 11/8 just to win - 15/8 to win on points

British Bookmakers William Hill

 

almost even odds

 

This is an example of how media hyperbole brainwashes people into making stupid bets. Never bet against Joe Calzaghe is always a sound theory.

 

Right wrong word choice from me, i meant he was a 'monster favorite' in context i.e. 8/15 against Calzaghe are monster odds, great great value for money.

 

If odds on a Lacy win are 8/15, that does not mean that betting 8$ on Calzaghe will win you 15$.

 

Eh?

 

Even-ish.

It was a 50/50 fight, but the first 50/50 fight Cal had been in in YEARS. Hence why the fanboys blow it out of proportion.

 

alot of people think that if Lacy is 8/15 at the bookies, then that means the bookies think Lacy has a 15/23 (65%) chance of winning. But thats not the case.

In this fight according to the odds posted above the split was about 60/40 in favour of Lacy

 

In relation to the size of the task he was slight favorite, thats very good value for money. Theres nothing fanboy about that and anyway your a ****in joyboy that talks straight **** and got owned last time out.

 

Coming from the guy who says Calzaghe knocks out James Toney...
