This surprised me.

A Co-worker of mine brought in some sports book information about upcoming fights. As of right now Paq is a 2-1 underdog against Cotto. Vegas 99.9% of the time is spot on with all sports bets, over/unders, totals, spreads its just crazy but this one genuinely shocked me. I was expecting 1-1 or an edge of a MAX of 1.5-1 but this really caught me off guard. Granted these numbers are going to change but... should I put some money on this bet?

I still feel Cotto is going to win which is why I'm sketchy on putting some money down. I learned the hard way from the DLH/PBF fight to wait till fight night... I put money on DLH the night before the fight, as he was the underdog. Come saturday PBF became a 2-1 underdog and I lost my $100 instead of making $200 plus my hundred back. Essentially I'm looking for some advice... should I go with my brain and see if Cotto becomes the underdog later, or bet now as I might not see 2-1 with this fight again?

i'm expecting some Cotto stan to take that as a disrespect..."why is it only 2-1...they are underestimating miguel!!!!!!!"

I believe they said Cotto is a 2 1/2-1 underdog against Pacquiao right at this point.

I thought miguel was the underdog


wassup mak!!!

I'm surprised Cotto ain't a big favorite. Pac ain't a WW. DLH fight ain't convince me he beats a prime WW.

you must be reading the odds wrong

He was up until the last minute when all the fans attending probably dropped a ton of money on Oscar. And, I did read the odds right to whoever said that... Cotto was +190. While its 1.9-1 it might as well be 2-1, its close enough.

Mayweather was the favorite against DLH. I placed a bet on DLH at damn near the last minute with my sportsbook, and still got + odds on him.
