Parker being heavily backed to beat Joshua

[nitro5912]

It will be the same reason that Floyd was at almost evens to beat McGregor. People believe the hype.

Parker and his team are doing a great job of making it a close fight.

Floyd was nowhere near evens to win the fight

Fairly sure I got very good odds that night for Floyd to win.

Just checked and I got Floyd to win at 1-4. I also got him on points at 3-1.

Floyd was 4/5 against mcgregor after two rounds. Bet of a lifetime looking back at it. I’ll have a very big bet on Joshua 1-6 if powers still have him at 13/8. Odds will change after weigh in when people see that Joshua is a monster compared to Parker

So let me get this straight, more people are putting money on Parker, than they did with Wlad?

That doesn't sound right

It could just be PR by the bookies. If they phone the media & lie that boat loads of cash are coming in for Parker (even if it isn't), the papers run with it and gamblers then think there's something in it.... so bet Parker. It's like stock manipulation (pump and dump) - talk up a trading that you baught shares in at a low price, when the buzz happens dump it at a higher price then watch it crash.

There could be something in it i guess - i reckon popular opinion might be just be starting to sway against AJ from 'the next tyson' to 'lumbering oaf' - Parker is actually pretty well schooled and i suspect will have much faster hands. I suspect he'll get caught at some point though - I'm taking AJ in rounds 1-6 which is 2.7.

Yes, I think your explanation makes more sense.

This is what I thought, but, shouldn't AJ's price be going out ?. If not, they are increasing their % over round and profit on the fight. Maybe that was the plan from the start !.

Odds haven't budged on bet 365 from the other night.

AJ 1-6
Parker 9-2(4.5-1)

Lost a but on that fight, i guess Parkers chin was an unknown quantity but AJ never really landed a big bomb clean on his chin either. Feel bad for big Pricey but Povetkin in-play KO was the only value i found all night.

Bookies cleaned up on this fight, I'll bet.
