    Betting Odds

    The Champion - Jack Sharkey opened up as a {2-1} Favorite in early May 1933.

    But slowly the Odds 'dropped' to {7-5} as there was a lean towards the Italian Challenger,
    as he looked much improved in Training Camp.

    A few days before Fight Night, the Odds were near 'Even'.

    Some bookies were laying {6-5} for Primo Carnera, as heavy money was coming in
    from Italy and Europe.

    This would be the 'first time' that a Challenger was 'favored' over a Heavyweight Champion.

    On June 29, 1933 > The New York Times had the Champion - Jack Sharkey as a {6-5} Betting-Favorite.
