Pacquiao opens up as a 14-1 favorite

[Hougigo]

It's funny considering what Arum said about Maidana.... but this line will drop a lot lower way before the fight.

[HanzGruber]

That's not how odds work, my guy. Floyd was a 14/1 favorite. Which makes Maidana about a 7/1 underdog. You won't ever see odds like -1400/+1400.

The same article said that you "could find Maidana as high as +1000". Which means 10/1.

Lol tell these noobs. People just hear arum say 18-1 then run with it

[kurupt1019]

No, it's not technically correct to say that. It's making something up, to say that. Maidana wasn't an 18/1 underdog. Period. The only way it's correct to say he's an 18/1 underdog, is if you can bet on him at 18/1. I mean, that's why these odds exist. Imagine telling someone that Maidana is an 18/1 dog, then they try to bet it, and get 7/1. They'll think you're a moron that doesn't know what he's saying.

And when we're talking about -1800 favorites, there's no reason in the world to juice it any higher than it needs to be. No one is laying $1800 to win $100.

you gotta split the difference, so if floyd was -1200 and maidana was +700,

the true odds would be 9.5 to 1, gotta split the juice to get "true ******** odds"

Are you denying that you could've bet Floyd at -1800?

I know you've seen that pic I had

That means that according to that oddsmaker, If Floyd and Maidana fought 19 times, Floyd would win 18 of them. Thats what it means to be a 18-1 underdog

Imagine it was the other way around and Maidana was a +700 to win. Would you tell people that Floyd was only a -700?

No, because your supposed to go by the odds placed on the favorite

And experienced betters know that boxing odds aren't 1:1. You always have to pay more juice when picking a favorite. If they don't know that than they are the idiots

Jenna J: Odds makers have you as wide as a 14-1 underdog.

respected boxing journalist jenna j confirmed it.

That's exactly what I'm saying. If Maidana is a 7/1 underdog, it doesn't mean Floyd is a 1/7 favorite. If you can't bet on Maidana at 18/1, then Maidana is NOT 18/1. That's all there is to it, man.

[Ringlife]

Most likely I will watch this fight a week later when HBO replays it. 14-1 is crazy.

*goes to Vegas and puts $5 on PAC*

Some of you guys aren't smart. Remember wasn't Bradley like a 10 to 1 underdog or something like that in the first fight with Pac? and he won! Betting 100 or so on Chris is the best bet you can make for a quick return.

Chris can win this.

And we all know Pac is not safe for a decision, after Bradley won the first fight so its anyones game.

this isnt Mayweather Maidana where nobody can win a decision over Floyd.
