too hi or too lo ?

Wow the odds have tightened..

McGregor was about 6/1 when the fight was announced.. now he's about 5/1.. it's even closer at some books.

He should be about 30/1

Way too high, that fight's a cointoss.

People like him is why the fight this low and plus people always will try to make themselves a reason to back the underdog first. People also love punchers and tend to overrate them.

Way too low, it's more like 200-1. I don't bet enough to make those odds worth the risk. If you have a spare 100k, that's a very solid investment.

Heads = Floyd
Tails = Floyd
Standing in the middle = Conor

[Ossyrules]

Floyd could probably win this with David Hayes Achilles, joe Calzaghe hands, amir khans jaw, victor Ortiz heart, and Carl Frochs speed

I love McGregor but he is not a boxer

[JCS]

Well.. if you can will a guy to win, this might be when it happens.

Just saw McGregor down to 7/2 at some places..

At Bovada, the O/U on PPV buys is 4.99 million.. +130 it goes the distance..

[Ossyrules]

I'd need 200-1 to bet on McGregor and I wouldn't stick more than a pony on it

It's insane how big of an event this complete mismatch is going to be. Fair play to those involved, I just saw on ESPN their poll had over 50,000 votes and 24% are picking McGregor. Crazy as that is, like 3% have him winning a decision. The biggest reason he doesn't even have a punchers chance is that Floyd's toughness is severely undervalued. I've seen him hurt twice, by Corley and Mosley and he was beating the shit out of them inside of a half minute. If Conor lands a hail mary, it's his ass.

If Floyd goes below -500, I may have to make an account somewhere and cash in.

Where can a US guy bet relatively safely and actually get his money back? Bonus points if there is a sign-on/first bet bonus.

They usually have a invite a friend bonus, so if you have a betting friend, ask him and split the "invite a friend bonus", make sure you create the account at your own home, otherwise they act like he's just one person with two accounts.

Just a couple of days ago it was 8:1, appearantly there are a lot of betting casuals out there.

[Mexi-Box]

Weird, news said it was 20-1 opening.

[SaadOffTheDeck]

It opened 25-1 in the states, that was like two months ago and most every bet was on McGregor.

Can we bet on McGregor quits on his stool

[Millcitymauler]

Vegas is manipulating is the odds. They have it way closer than it should be because: A. They have to cover the payout when Floyd wins (and a lot of people will put a lot of money on him), and B. a fight that is sold as more competitive brings more interest and people to Vegas. Everyone knows that the real odds are 100-1 at best, and those odds are only because of the most unlikely case that Floyd gets injured and can't continue. Otherwise this would be more like 300-1.

He should be 1000/1... Which is still a tiny chance for an upset if he lands that powerful left ... But for all practical purposes he doesn't have a chance in Hell.

Like I said before... This is the "Snake River Canyon Motorcycle Jump" ... a stunt where no motorcycle ever showed up, but Evel Knievel did.

Floyd is Evel Knievel... McGregor is the motorcycle who won't show -- more like a cheap rocket ship, with prop wheels attached, who will peter out quickly -- and barely make it over the edge of the canyon wall before the parachute opens prematurely and floats him gently down into shallow waters

The under is the better play.
