okay yes, when talking about one giant pot shared by thousands, that makes perfect sense ( fair for the underdog, not fair for the favored, gotcha ). now as far as private one on one bets, the classic xx vs xx same amount, would make more sense. im guessing you guys dont do private bets, but instead bigger pots?


ah you're right there is a difference

lets say you and your bud have seen the exact same tyson vs girl fight 99'999 times. every single time it was a 10 sec KO win for mike. now you and your buddy stand in the arena to watch the same fight for the 100'000 time

what is the incentive to bet on the girl? would you really bet your 10$ vs his 10$ afte seeing the result of the last 99'999 fights? why would you do that? you wouldn't

so instead you would argue with your bud over who can pick tyson to bet on because neither of you want to burn 10$ for no reason at all. so in the end you both just don't bet at all because neither of you wants to bet on the girl.

that would be the same for everyone else. no bets would be made because there's no incentive to bet on the underdog.



so in order to make ppl bet on the fighter that is (by statsitics and judged by past performances) more likely to lose, they put odds on a fight

makes sense. though i never gamble, never been to a casino, etc... so me, betting on underdog would just be for the hell of it. i am not a serious gambler ;)

so you're saying you'd bet 5k fg on miesha tate beating ronda rousey vs 5k?

just isn't happening nobody would bet on somebody that is more than likely going to lose

good point

lol...  you get less of a reward because your odds of losing are lower.

In poker you probably wouldn't go all in if all you have is a pair of twos because you have a higher chance of losing than if you have, say, aces full.  You might win and you might lose in either case, but you'd be a moron to try that with a lot of money if you just have the twos. 

Ofcourse this metaphor doesn't really make sense because you can win on a bluff with a pair of twos also, but you can't bluff your way to a win in this case.

Not even Rothwell would bet on Rothwell with 1:1 odds.

good point
and lol@bold :rofl:

if both you and your bud don't know too much about either fighter than those 1:1 fun bets between friends are awesome, i totally get you

i love to do them too, i did it with friends at soccer world cup and such

but on this site, and anywhere else for that matter, you won't find people to do 1:1 bets 'cuz every1 knows the odds
