anyone betting Juan Manuel Marquez?

Manny Pacquiao -270
Juan Manuel Marquez +230



I think it's a great price on Marquez. Plus he looks great in training.

Im in 100 with marquez, I have been winning lately so im feeling lucky.

I hope the judges dont mess this up

I got JMM by dec at like 5.06 and Pac by dec at 2.03. perfect hedge bet

you definitely think it's going over 10.5 then?

As close to a lock as you get man

-260 for over 10.5 I might think about it.

I would NEVER bet on these two.

Who the fuck knows how the judging is going to be this time around.

Then you should definitely bet Marquez. You said it yourself it's a coin flip but you're getting better than 2 to 1 odds on 50/50 fight.


Betting isn't about picking winners, it's about finding value.

^That is true, especially in fighting sports where anything can happen

I think that you have a great strategy. I've never bet on fighting, but it's obvious that you have a thoughtful approach.

I tend to agree with your analysis that this fight should go the distance. The one thing that sticks out a little though is that Marquez has been down 4 times in their 3 fights.

We just never know what's going to happen and what version of each guy is going to show up. But, I agree with your picks.

Of course Pac has the power to shut anyone's lights out and I considered the fact that Pac has put Juan down but I also added the fact that JMM has never been finished.

I also figured in that despite his age, JMM has done better each time he has faced Manny. Also Manny seems to be slowing down a bit.

All things I considered and given those lines i got, my chances of making profit are good.

I know, I agree with you. It looks like a great bet.

I will not be betting on this fight.

I'm half Puerto Rican mates. I always pull for the spanish.


Love the boxing section. Nice.

Juan looked incredible at the weigh ins. Came in 4 pounds under the weight limit.

Viva JMM! Viva Mehiko!

obviously I forget the philippines is as spanish as mexico. Easy for me to think of them as simply asian I reckon. I did was referring to Juan when I said "the spanish". curious why without cognitive thought I feel mexican is more spanish then filipino.

I don't know about as Spanish as Mexico, but there is obviously a big Spanish influence. These days Tagalog and English are the official languages though I believe.

anyone watch that last 24/7? Freddie Roach was talking about asking Manny to retire. Not good going into a big fight like this.

yeah bud, but Freddie's been saying he's worried for a while. Roach has just become a big ol' puss. Last time it was political pressures, and not being focused. I kinda felt Juan won the last one, but no one did pac show a need to retire, or lack of focus. Roach ought to chill and let the Pac do his thing.

I lost some $ but that was worth every cent!

What is happening to this world?

congrats to all marquez backers!
