Golovkin started out as a -900 favorite and even once at -950 but now it's gone down to -800 as result of lots of bets on Jacobs
Canelo started out as a -700 favorite over Chavez Jr now at -900 due to lots of bets on Canelo
Jacobs has a better shot than probably anyone that lil G has ever faced so I cn see people betting on him. The common sense bet would be on lil G but how much are you willing to bet just to come away with a return? I expect Jacobs to have some type of success in the early rounds but the longer this fight goes, the more I would expect lil G to take over and start beating Jacobs up in a bad way.
Jacobs vs Chavez Jr for undisputed middleweight champ.
that would be an horrible turn of events, but even if both fights end in upsets there will be rematches immediately
People aren't betting Jacobs because they think he'll win. They're betting because it's a better value. Why bet $900 on GGG to win $100 when you can bet $100 on Jacobs and win $900
For sure, Jacobs isn't some bum with no shot, he has finishing ability. GGG has to lose sometime. I'm a regular boxing bettor, mostly backing underdogs, and the value is on fighters that you think have a realistic chance to win as most do unless it's a total squash match. There have been a lot of boxing upsets so far just barely one month into 2017. I won money on all these dogs so far this year:
Leo Santa Cruz at +150 over Carl Frampton in the rematch
Luis Collazo at +340 over Sammy Vasquez
Christian Hammer at +210 over David Price
I also hit some crazy props like on Badou Jack/James DeGale majority decision draw for an $8 flyer at +6000 and Leo Santa Cruz wins by majority decision at +2000 and quite a few others.
I tipped these wagers elsewhere. A major boxing forum like this should really have a dedicated boxing betting thread to discuss boxing wagering instead of it just getting buried randomly in threads for each card.

Betting $900 is like here hold my $900 so that I can collect my free $100 after the fight. Some Millionaire will collect 1 Million after the fight after he bets his 9 million to collect his 1 million after the fight that is for sure who knows Floyd is probably doing this
It's a good value bet. I bet on Bradley to beat Pacquiao in the first fight because of the odds at the time. Even though I didn't think Bradley had a chance. I was able to cash out because of a sh.itty decision. Ain't life grand?
Jacobs -900 or even -700 is pretty odds to catch..
Obviously golovkin will be the favorite, but he has a bad habit of blocking punches with his face and Jacobs can really crack with either hand..
This fight won't last long, but Jacobs is extremely dangerous

well why bet 100 to lose 100?? Save that money and drink or eat it. Or pay for the PPV better ! I am a Pacquiao fan but I didnt bet against Mayweather just cause Im rooting for Pacquiao, you just dont bet agaisnt the best.
Keep hating on lil chola...:lol1:
Tell me, how is this hating? I aint you or Isaac Clarke that hate just because. Now tell me, do you think Jacobs will beat GGG ? Yes or no answer please.
Lil Mestizo always hating.
How is this hating? Im trying to save people's money by opening their eyes that have been obscured by that big head of his and his dumbo ears.
with how easy golovkin is to hit, and how hard jacobs punches, i'm not surprised that a lot of money is coming in on a 8-9 to 1 underdog. it should. that's what odds are designed to do, entice two way betting.
i think a lot of gunslingers are going to pick rounds early on for a jacobs stoppage if they can get good odds. if i were attending the fight and needed to make it interesting that's what i'd be up to. golovkin to win via knockout, hedged with an early jacobs stoppage.
