    Betting the UD would be better, as it very unlikely that is going to be a SD or MD.

    Some sites will offer this market.

      Personally I would never put money on those kind of odds no matter how much of a sure thing it seemed. This is boxing, and Floyd is human.

        You should only bet what you are willing to lose.

          Yeah, that is always a good rule of thumb.

              Appreciate the input and great info fellas.

              Honestly, over/under and Mayweather will win sound like steals. You can't go wrong.

                    This is my first time betting so I am new to how the odds work.

                    Help needed. Thanks in advance.
                    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
                    8-1 odds

                    Mayweather is -800 favorite; this is the same thing as $100/$800 (reward/risk)

                    So if you put up $10,000, you would win: ($100/$800)*($10,000) = $1,250
                    ***(reward/risk)*(risk) = reward***


                    To make $10,000 betting on Mayweather, you would have to put down:

                    (reward/risk)*(risk) = reward.......our final reward is $10,000 and our

                    (reward/risk) ratio is ($100/$800) so we rearrange to solve for the risk or amount that we have to spend:

                    risk = reward/(reward/risk)

                    risk = ($10,000)/($100/$800)

                    risk = $80,000, you have to spend $80,000 to win $10,000 by betting on Mayweather.

                    You could make $80,000 by only spending $10,000 by betting on Ortiz though.......

                      Subject: TREAT AS URGENT CONFIDENTIAL

                      FROM DR MANNY ATE MY DOG
                      AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT.
                      FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT.
                      INTERNATIONAL BANK OF AFRICA
                      TEL 228 0-5-5-1-5-2
                      LOME - TOGO

                      ATTN: BoxingGenius27

                      I am DR MANNY ATE MY DOG, the director in charge of auditing and accounting section of international bank of Africa Lome-Togo in west Africa with due respect and regards. I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction.

                      During our investigation and audting in this bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died on November 1997 in a plane crash and the fund has been dormant in his account with this bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or relation before our discovery to this development.

                      Although personally, I kept this information secret within myself and partner to enable the whole plans and idea be pofitable and successful during the time of execution. The said amount was USD$14m (fourtheen million united states dorllars). As it may intrest you to know, I got your impressive information through my good friend who works with chamber of commerce on foriegn business relations here in Lome-Togo. It is him who recommended your person to me to be viable and capable to champion a business of such magnitude without any problem. Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the bonafide next of kin to the deceased, get the required approval and transfer this money to a foriegn account has been put in place and directives and needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your intrest and willingness to assist us and also benefit your self to this great business opportunity.

                      In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this country as a civil servant, we are not allowed to operate a foriegn account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer because I work in this bank. This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin with affidavit of trust of Oath to the bank and also present a foriegn account where he will need the money to be re-transfered into on his request as it may be after due verification and clarification by designation bank account.

                      I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free. On smoth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitiled to 30% of the total sum as gratification, while 10% will be set aside to take care of expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and also telephone bills, while 60% will be for me and my partners. Please,you have been adviced to keep top secret as we are still in service and intend to retire from service after we conclude this deal with you. I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm the money in your account. And ask us to come down to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further investment, either in your country or any country you advice us to invest in.All other necessary information will be sent to you when I hear from you.I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible stating your wish in this deal.

                      Yours faithfully,
                      Dr MANNY ATE MY DOG.
