I have £50 on him at 2/1
2/1 Where did you get those odds?

The best I can find is evens,
Bilbo i don't really understand odds very well,
but i know that
i put £50 on http://www.bet365.com/ so ill get 100 back total if i win (that includes my £50 bet) , so that is evens right ?

I only understand the decimal odds and i put mine on at 2.0.


And just to add something to the thread, if you haven;t checked it yet, I have put countdown to this fight in other section btw.
Hey Poom, yeah that's even or in fractional terms 1/1. If you were getting 2/1 odds you'd make £100 profit plus another £50 stake return so £150 total.

As I said a bookie that offered 2/1 on Hopkins would not last in the business very long.

You'll find that virtually all bookies are offering odds on for both fighters 10/11 in Hop's case or around 8/11 for Winky who is the slight favourite.

Those kind odds basically means if it was a vote Hop would get about 55% and Winky about 60%. Obviously 60 + 55 adds up to more than 100% and would be mathematically impossible which shows you how the bookies always put things in their favour. Whoever winst the bookies won't lose.
