Boxing Odds Explained
This page shows chances for bets. These are bets in which you pick the fighter you think will win the battle.
Boxing chances generally look something
Apollo Creed -200
Rocky Balboa +180
This usually means that Creed is your favorite and Balboa is the underdog. Favorites always have a minus sign (-) until their chances and underdogs have the plus sign (+). In this case if you had $300 to play , you could throw it all on Creed and if he wins, then you would get a payout of $450 — your $300 is returned, plus your winnings of $150.
On the flip side, if you had faith in Rocky and believe he’s likely to win, a $300 bet would net you a payout of $840 — you’d get your initial $300 back, plus your winnings of $540.
