    No. Your bet will not change as the lines do. You keep the odds that were set at the time of your bet.

    I see now. Thanks for the lesson.

      It's no different than what I'd be spending at the casino on the black jack tables.

      It just makes the fight 10x more exciting for me.

        That is true also, but it all depends on how you feel about Guerrero's chances.

        If you think Guerrero has a 1/100, no matter what number he gets it is a sucker bet because it might look good but the odds are poor. However if you think Guerrero has a 20% chance +700 is pretty inviting.

            Exactly. I give him about a 20-30% chance at an upset.

              Not exactly, you lock it in when you bet that is why it pays to pay attention to lines over time because you can get a better number if you bet at different times thus getting more **** for the buck.

              Once you bet though your number is set.

                No once you make your bet with ticket in hand. The casino or sports book has to honor the amount promised for the wager you made regardless of the line change. On the flip side your odds might have gotten better (more money ) and you wouldn't be entitled to it. I would think if your gonna take guererro you do it now +700 will entice a lot of people to put action on him, thus lowering your odds the longer you wait. If your looking to bet Floyd I would wait to the last possible minute to try and see if you get better odds.

                  Ok. Now i definitely get it. So bet when the lines are looking as profitable as you think they'll be?

                    My advice...read up on what you're doing before you bet.
                    Don't want to make any mistakes and lose your money.
                    You planning on vegas or online?

                      True. Wouldn't be fun betting on Floyd. You'd have to put down a good amount to even make it worth while.
