 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. |
Only the very heavily favored fighters have odds that steep, or even higher like for Fedor vs Rogers. Most of the mild to moderate favorites are usually only like -110 or -120 or more, so maybe you put up $110 or say, $120 or $190 to win $100. I like to bet on close to even fights, on moderate favorites and underdogs if I like the fighters. I would definitely have made money last night. I read so many reviews of the sports books where people complained about getting gypped that I thought twice to set up an account.
