Does anybody think Cotto's +190 will go up in the upcoming days before the fight. Im not sure how Vegas betting works but im tryna bet 500$ on Cotto just wanted 2 know if i can hold out for better odds.

Latest odds I seen had Pac as the favorite at -240 and Cotto at +190. For every $100 you put on Cotto and you get $190. For every $240 you put down on Manny and you get $100.

No for every $240 you put on Pac you get back $0

I bet enough on football so I'll probably just put 2 on Cotto

Depends if you think more poeple will bet on Pacquiao. The more people bet on Pacquiao the higher the line goes for Cotto. They want to even out the bets.

Whats the most youll back your fighter with?

Going to probably put a couple hundred on Cotto, just because he's such a live underdog. Rarely will you see a pick'em fight like this with oddsmakers ****ing the dog like they are. Last I checked, he was nearly a 2/1 underdog, and I'm actually picking him to win.

I'm puttin' something on Cotto.....don't know the amount yet....depends on the odds.....I'm hopin' the odds makers keep underrating Cotto's ability to beat this lil' dude!!

Unless you consider the money you're betting already gone, don't put that much on an underdog unless you think he has about a 90% chance of a win. Otherwise, you'll just be pissed for days (maybe weeks) after it's over, provided you lose. And if you win, you'll probably put even more money on the next underdog you think has a chance, and lose your ass thoroughly.

Put whatever you can easily afford on your pick and then forget it until the fight's over...and then only bother remembering it if you won.

P.S.
No, I don't think the odds will change much, if at all. If anything, I think they'll get closer, when people who have a bit more sense start putting money on Cotto.

I bet the house on Pac
