Paddy Power: -175 May by Decision; +800 Canelo by Decision; +500 May by KO/DQ; +500 Canelo by KO/DQ; +1600 Draw
...Bet $175 on May by decision. Bet $25 on each of the remaining four alternatives. You break even if May by decision or either guy wins by KO. You'll make money if Canelo by decision or fight is a draw.
IOW, it's a no-lose bet. You'll either break-even or win money, regardless of the outcome.
Unless, I'm missing something?
You're absolutely right, Craig. Next time I'll won't be too lazy to double-check my math.
So my actual bet is going to be $175 on May by decision, and $50 on Canelo by decision, and $25 on draw.
I'm in the money if the fight goes to a decision or a draw.
p.s. can't do inplay betting from here. Have to arrange everything with my friend in UK who places the bets for me.
:) No prob, just didn't want you getting robbed by the bookies.

Canelo will probably start quicker then people will imagine and the early rounds may well be close until Floyd adjusts and/or Canelo tires. Inplay his price will shorten and Floyd's will drift. So back Canelo and after a few rounds lump on Floyd. Probably the best option to secure a decent profit.
So bet inplay.

Yup you are, you would be betting a total of $275
If either of them win by KO you'd only get $150 back and if Canelo won by decisionn you'd get $225 back.
Bookies know you cant make it work like that
