Floyd is a -1300 betting favorite

[Scarcaztic]

Floyd ain't going under -1000, unless something crazy happens like he gets stabbed a week before the fight and fights anyways.

Has there ever been a case of a fighter having their friend put down big money on them losing?

Wouldn't be surprised.....but +700 isn't really good enough for rigging a fight.

What is -1000 that THEGAMBLER speaks of???

I'm a complete betting noob. Have mercy on me.

-1000 means you have to bet 1000 to win 100
+1000 means you have to bet 100 to win 1000

That is a money line.

-1000 means you have to bet 1000 to win 100
+1000 means you have to bet 100 to win 1000

That is a money line.

So basically, Vegas isn't gonna make it lop sided for Floyd, in case Guerrero wins?

Edit: Oh, so if you bet 100 down on Guerrero, you'd be making 1000? Does it work that way? Since Floyd would be at -1000, then Guerrero would be +1000 right?

Yeah, definitely dropping some dough on Guerrero.

don't waste it! Floyd's already estimated this for an easy fight.

[boliodogs]

Yeah the fight hasn't even had a promo yet. Wait till it gets closer the odds will get closer

I agree. I think the odds will tighten up as the fight gets closer. you have to bet 1300 to win 100 if you bet on Mayweather but only win 700 if you bet 100 on Guerrero.Those odds are really stacked in favor of the house. I think some other betting places might offer better odds on both fighters.

I edited an odds calculator into the first post

The line almost can't be big enough to rig a fight like this because any bets or sums large enough to make it worthwhile will raise huge su****ions.

That is the plus side of huge money being involved in the sport, but the downside would be there are people not getting paid much who can directly effect the outcome of a fight.

That's a good ass deal though. I'd probably put down $300 on Guerrero.
