My Bookie Sez: Guys under 35 are all betting McGregor. Like 10/10 guys under 35 bet McGregor.
At the barbershop everybody's talking about the fight. Every Millennial says the same things:
1- I'm not paying $100 for that shit
2- Mayweather is going to wax him
3- I threw $100 on McGregor 1st round KO/some other crazy Conor prop bet.
I explained the 20% ROI by taking Maywedder straight up and covering any crazy outcome with a prop bet and everybody was like: fuck that, you can't make money on Mayweather.
Sonester Sambo - I knew this would happen. Check earlier may Conor fight rumor threads. I was chomping at the bit to throw big money at Floyd once the inevitable dumb money tilted the lines.
Now I’m gun shy. I went soft and layed a gnote which won’t make or break me. Something weird about this fight
Maybe I caught up in the dumb ass mystique… Oh well, +500 to win 200 isn’t bad.
Something really bizarre about this fight. 89% of bets are on McGregor.
A Conor win would crush Vegas and indie bookies.
I don't think anyone really belives this thing is on the level.
ShanTheMan - What is the easiest betting site to collect from?
never had a problem with 5dimes or Bovada (but haven’t used them since back when they were bodog). Usually have to just fax/email some docs over if you made deposit with CC

you really think it’s that odd? With Mayweather being such a big favorite I don’t think it’s too surprising that smaller bettors wouldn’t be betting him, especially not early. I’d be curious to know if that’s 89% of the tickets being on McGregor or if that’s 89% of the money? I would guess people that really bet big are waiting to see how low the line on Mayweather will before they make a big bet. According to some of the sportsbooks I follow on twitter it looks like some big bets starting to come in on Mayweather

Most of the big bets are Mayweather. Somebody dropped 880k in a meatball bet on Floyd. There have been 150k and 250k on Conor. Most of the McGregor bets are small.
You're right about a lot of people holding off for the line to drop more, but I think that ship sailed. The rumors of Floyd's broken hand didn't encourage McGregor betting. People are betting Conor to make it more fun. There might be a rush of people dropping stacks on Floyd tomorrow
Yeah, the $880K was the Sacramento Kings owners, Maloof (sp?)brothers. I can’t believe the line got as low as it did. Yeah, people hoping to hit a home run with McGregor while most people that are betting Mayweather are more like investing. Not too many $100 bettors get excited about winning $20 or so…

trust your instinct. i went through the same thing earlier this week. was feeling gun shy and had some buyers remorse, but i shook it off.
i've been slowly buying a few hundred bucks since the line was at -660. im averaged in right at -570 with a little over $1,700. unfortunately my brothers (they play on my 5dimes account) nuked my account and I only have $100 left. I'm probably going to transfer in 0.50 bitcoin tomorrow and dump that on Floyd if the line sits around the -550 to -600 mark.
