I just tried to find some odds and failed miserably.
Anyone know where to find them?

betting on arm wrestling is different in some cases than most sports. The bets on this match are 1:1 but devon only has to win 1 round for the person who bet on devon to win, levan has to get a shutout for the other person to win.

(so levan must win 4 rounds in a row), the remaining 2 rounds don't matter.

I'm actually surprised that we dont have an official thread here that discusses armwrestling.

Concerning the match I've not been following the scene, particularly Levan, closely enough to know what's up with Levan's injury and his current power level.
That said I highly doubt that any roids nor stem cell therapy will bring Devon even remotely close to beating Levan. Last time they clashed the difference in power level was so humongous that I reckon even a 50% Levan would be able to wring down Devon.

Although Devon said he won't fight him again after the match with Levan because he's wrestling in a different league, he still does it again.
After defeating Devon, Levan didn't have any challenges left because he is so much better than anyone else.

For both of them it's a great financial opportunity. And hinting at possible weaknesses on Levan's side while documenting the usual Devon improvement aka "I'm the strongest I've ever been" does contribute to building up a climax approaching the fight.
Even a better story would be if Levan let Devon win and then they would have a rematch where he regains the crown.

In any case, hats off to Devon Larratt for being a great show in the sport of arm wrestling for so long.
He is almost 50 and still competes with 15-20 years younger athletes, crushing most of them.
And his family is invested heavily into arm wrestling as well. Especially his son Auden made crazy gains when looking at his improvement on a 1-year scale.

My Larrett to win at least 1 round.
1:1 bet ratio
Will take all bets up to 2k fg total.

people said the same exact thing last time as they're saying now

"devon is different, devon is stronger, devon can stop him and has the endurance to drag it out"

blah blah


guy got crushed like he was a small boy



and for some reason this time it's all about how much stronger devan is getting/has got


like levan went into a stasis after the last match and didn't at all improve.


if devon got 20% stronger (he didn't), he'd still lose

Solid take bro. I think true fans of armwrestling realize the reality of this match and majority of casuals get really roped into the entertainment factor of Laratt, giving them false hope.

I think the only way Levan loses is if the injury took something away from him that we haven't seen in any of his training footage.
