Please explain why the late money is coming in on Broner? I have read about the weight issues or lack there of and all kinds of things. If this fight was at 147 , PORTER would be the favorite. However, with a no rehydration clause, I would think Porter benefits but the line is moving in Broners favor. I am open to conspiracy theories and all. Thank you!! Please respond.

Don't they shift the odds if too many people are betting on one guy?

Broner is the more popular (using that term loosely) known fighter, and he looked the bigger man than the supposedly more physical Porter.

Broner is considered the better skilled more versatile boxer of the two, and if he is actually the bigger more physical guy what does Porter have to fall back on?

I believe that is what he is saying, he thinks the line should be moving Porter into more favored status, while the line is actually going more toward Broner's chances.

The lines move like that to keep the money coming in evenly on both sides, that way there is no way the book loses just taking their percentage for taking the bet.

Broner was the underdog yesterday (slight) after the weigh in and the rehydration clause go taken out. Everything looks to be in Porter's favor now and money is flowing in on Broner to the point he's the fave now.... so yea

Gambler, Thank you for clarifying my statement. ... I guess deep down, I want to see Broner lose so I would like to be able to bet on Porter but it looks like that is not going to happen. Broner must be feeling great and his weight is a not issue..... Are you going to be placing a bet?

This is kinda concerning

I remember looking at the odds when the fight was first announced and Porter was the favorite, I just checked and Broner is even or the favorite

This rarely happens. If this fight goes to a decision, expect broner to get the nod

Odds shift got you worried?

i think only thing to worry about now is funky cards, but betting wise, Porter is slightly more favorable

I don't like giving advice on who to bet on, but if you feel Porter go for it, you are getting the odds now. If you think it is risk bet according to that, the odds are often not in line with reality and if you think people are betting the wrong way you have to take advantage then or you will never make money ********.
