Is a vegas bet on McGregor REALLY that dumb?

[rickJen]

Yup. It's dumb. It's crazy. It's lunacy. It's idiotic. It's ******.
Mayfeather got all the advantages. The ref, the contract that says the opponent can't rough house, can't wrestle even if the best evah elbows, clinches like a vise grip, etc.

They never get tired of the same ripped off story.

LOL, but you aren't bsing. Dmitry Bivol is a -3000ish favorite over a solid respectable guy with 20 odd fights Saturday & Floyd is only a -1100ish favorite over a guy without a amateur or pro boxing bout under his belt. How the F does that make sense? Apparently a lot of mfers are throwing money on Conor.

Whenever a fight is this much of a lock & the line doesn't make sense you bite the bullet & bet the favorite at whatever the best odds you can find are. I've been seeing -800 for Floyd which is f#cking nuts. And I've seen Floyd at -500 on twitter which is a whole other level of insanity & I'm shopping for that site as we speak cuz I wanna increase my liquid $$$$ by 20% with virtually no risk.

I have friends who hate Mayweather and love UFC giving me 1 to 1 odds....so yeah probably a lot better on mcgregor as the underdog. As much as pure boxing fans know its a joke.... don't underestimate the ******ity of casual ufc fans and their hate for mayweather.

If you want to bet on McGregor just give the money to charity.

Can McGregor fight for more than a few rounds? Can he land even one clean shot? Those are the real questions. There is no question he will lose. Any money you're putting on McGregor is better spent on a meal and a drink...or a gift for a kid.
