MGM Sportsbook Executive: "The First Sixty Eight Bets We Took Were All On McGregor"

[A-Wolf]

"If you wanted to bet Mayweather yesterday you would have needed to lay down $12 to make $1. Today we're at minus -$8 for Mayweather and plus +$5.50 for McGregor. We wrote 68 eight tickets before we wrote a single ticket on Mayweather."

- Jeff Stonebeck, MGM Sportsbook Executive

(I slightly paraphrased his statement but did not change anything. My source is HBO's Boxing Podcast - Pod 4:Live From Radio Row Day 1).

Sounds about right. Floyd is 1/7 in England.

All I have to say to boxing fans is know your role and shut your damn mouths to people who think Conor can win. Just nod knowing deep inside how wrong they are and take advantage of their ignorance.

If you see two people arguing help the boxing fan out by back up whatever hogwash the McGregor fan is saying just so that person can bet them.

Profit from your knowledge don't destroy the market by letting something out of the bag that most people have no understanding of.

I don't bet anymore, but if I did, I'd wait till a week or two before the fight. That's when you'll get the lowest odds on Floyd.

LMFAO but yea could the dummies here please read what Gambler is saying & re-read it once or twice more so you can fully grasp what he's saying.

I didn't expect to be betting on this fight at all, but f#ck it my betting bankroll about to be drastically increased or I'mma have to reload if Floyd breaks a hip or something crazy like that happens.

I'm going to take that advice on the board. Hopefully the money keeps flooding in.
We need all the PR from Showtime & UFC ASAP. .

Something tells me some of those bets came people who dont realize this fight is not being held in the Octagon!!!! LOL. This would be proof of a saying I made up "stupidity reigns supreme"!

This guy also talked briefly about several six figure bets that were placed on Kovalev.. JMO but the smart money is on Ward. Guess we'll see.
