As per the prediction that I made within the very first post of this thread, the Mayweather-McGregor betting odds have shifted significantly within the last few weeks…
British bookmakers (such as BETFRED, Paddy Power, UNIBET, Ladbrokes, Coral, Bet Fair, BWIN.com, 32.Red, Marathon BET, 888sport and betway) rate Floyd as being only 81.8% certain (2/9) to defeat Conor, with the Irish underdog having an implied probability of an astonishingly high 23.8% (16/5) to emerge victorious.
Just to place some context on these numbers should you fancy placing a bet on the Mayweather-McGregor fight…
If you placed a £10 bet with ‘betway’ on Mayweather to defeat McGregor you’d make a very decent £2.22 profit. Place precisely the same bet on McGregor via the very same bookmaker and you’d potentially profit by £32.
Incredibly, if the betting odds continuously follow the current trajectory, it seems highly likely that Conor McGregor will be considered less of an underdog against Floyd Mayweather Jr. than Wladimir Klitschko was for his marvellous bout against Anthony Joshua.
If you want to make some easy money, you may be tempted to place a bet on a dead-cert Floyd Mayweather Jr. victory at the very last minute, when Money May’s odds should drop to around the 70% mark, which could potentially provide a 40% return on investment.
