Official Betting Odds Thread.

I just thought I'd end the confusion on how to interpret betting odds once and for all.

Moneyline/American Odds
Moneyline odds are favored by American bookmakers and, therefore, are often referred to as American odds. With this format, the odds are quoted using either a positive or a negative number. A negative number indicates the favorite, and the odds show how much money you'll have to risk to win $100. A positive number indicates the underdog, and the odds show how much money you'll win on a $100 wager. When the odds are listed as EVEN, you'll win exactly what you wager. A standard line, where the odds are -110 for both teams, indicates that neither team is favored to win.

Yea Librado Andrade isnt a bad bet, but i would avoid that one. Bute will prolly win lopsidely.

Also, if the fight has an over/under, i would bet the over, although the odds for that are prolly not too good.

Jones by Decision is prolly the safest bet as well.

As is Mayweather by Decision

I bet the under on the Molina Vs. Honorio fight, got the under 7.5 rounds at (+135)

Also bet on the over for Funeka Vs. Funeka, odds weren't that great for this one but I don't see it not going the distance.

Bet Diaz this weekend and laid the rest on Pascal, odds weren't' great on Pascal but I don't see how he can lose.
