The problem is, favored fighters are extremely expensive to bet on. It's all nice and good if your fighter wins, but if you have to bet $350 on him to only win $100, it's not as simple as just making the prediction.

I read reviews of all the online sports books and it pretty much seems like they are all pretty shady and as likely rip their customers off by delays or fees or closing winning accounts as they are to pay off bets.
sports betting wouldn't be the massive industry it was if all books did this. The people doing the complaining usually want their payouts within minutes of winning, and usually have no understanding of how hard it is for the gaming industry to send and receive money these days.
