Fury ?

That is not what odds mean. Learn about odds if you are going to talk about odds.

Odds are a reflection of the gambler, not what the oddsmakers think of the fight, but what they think of the money coming in on the fight.

Those odds for Tyson were made 4 months out from the fight before any money was being put down on it



Dear oh dear

Ross, listen to what Ron is saying you dopey fuckwit. Because more people over here gamble more money on Fury than do on Wlad, the bookies will lay that bet and shorten the odds accordingly. Odds are not a reflection of the chance he has.
e.g. In Vegas or wherever Tyson fought Douglas, nobody bet on Douglas , hence the odds being so long.
Over here mugs like you and half the pikeys in the UK put money on Fury thinking it gives him a better chance! The odds started low in anticipation of this.
Now run along and ask @Silkeyjoe will ya. There's a good lad! 😂😂

You lot are really getting upset about what you consider is already a foregone conclusion. I see the little likes here and there for the sarcastic comments, the sniping and swearing. Maybe its nerves because your all getting much closer to be proved very wrong. Some are uncharacteristically quiet as Tysons coronation gets closer and they can no longer post

To be fair to ross - The odds compilers do set the price, if they fuck up they get hammered by a weight of money which means they have to cut the price (in reality, they wait for a trader to price up first, copy each other, nick all the top prices for themselves, then cut them regardless).

In this case Fury has been cut half a point from a best opening price of 4/1 to 7/2. Nobody has put the kitchen sink on him and you'll get 3/1 right up to fight night.

I would bet that the prices will narrow on Fury at least by fight week. Probably when they show all the media stuff like the final press conference and the behind the ropes series.

Ross, why don't you listen? Or just learn how bookmakers work? (ask Fenster, he supports enough of them). The odds reflect entirely the amount of money placed such that the book can be balanced. The amount of money placed can be influenced by media shite, but not exclusively. As an anti-Tyson backer I got 22's for Holyfield (twice) cant remember what for Lewis/Douglas/Williams, so well in profit on the other (less famous) Tysons illustrious career.
