Betting odds are out for this fight.

Floyd Mayweather: -400
JMM - +275

Whatdya'll think? That was the same line Floyd has vs. Gatti. I think i'll throw 1-2k on Floyd to pocket a few hundred. Seems to easy. I think the line increases closer to fight time.

Or decreases. Anyway, I'd take JMM, he's too good and the odds are even better.
Easy money.

Needs to be about +500 for me to even think about laying short money on JMM. No way I bet on Floyd though even though I like him to win, I can not justify 400 to win 100 in almost any boxing match (and it will probably get worse before tightening up toward the end)

I never bet a prohibitive favourite.


Winning a couple hundred means little to me... losing a grand pisses me the hell off.

You know what I mean?

LOL oh I know what you mean. I think i had that feeling last when Jaurez lost to Soto.

That being said, jesus -400 is a steal in this situation I think. There's no value on marquez' price but laying 1k to win 250 isnt that bad considering the matchup. At the end of the day if JMM wins atleast a year later I'd say well I spent 1k to see Floyd lose & it was worth it!

I'm not a cheapskate, but the last time i lost fifteen hundred in Vegas, it kinda ruined my whole weekend. Not just the loss of the money, but then i became Frugal Freddy for the rest of the weekend.

This was a few years ago. We were at the Hard Rock. we went to Baby's, and I'm looking at the prices on the bottles, and said "naaah, too much. I'll skip VIP". The next day at the pool, I didn't get a cabana which i always get and which is necessary if you want to get your grown-man on. I think i ate some kind of buffet instead of going to Nobu.

You know why? Because i was down fifteen hundred!!

the odds could be +5000 for marquez... its still not easy money

That is why I love playing poker in Vegas. Spending other peoples hard earned cash in Vegas is the whip.

If you are going to lay money on JMM I recommend waiting on it a little because I think you could get much better odds on JMM.
