Pacquiao v Cotto Betting
Manny Pacquiao takes on Miguel Cotto on November 14th for the WBO welterweight title.
Whilst many see it as purely a warm-up fight for Pacquiao v Mayweather in 2010, Pacquiao himself has declared it “the toughest fight of my career” – Coming from the man who defeated Oscar De La Hoya and Ricky Hatton in his last two fights, and who is rated the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world, that is praise indeed for Cotto, who many expect to take the fight the full distance. Whether he can pull off a victory remains to be seen however.
The bookies certainly don’t think we’ll be seeing anything other than a Manny Pacquiao victory though, with many of them, including Blue Square…

How do Betting Odds work?
HOW DO BETTING ODDS WORK?
The Basics
The book percentage (or “overround”) is defined by the Racing Post as the “sum of the quoted probabilities across all horses in a race”. The bookmakers assign each horse a probability of winning, represented by its odds. The percentage of the “book” represented by particular odds can be calculated by adding one to the odds and dividing the resultant figure into 100. For example:
Evens: 100 / (1+1) = 50%
2/1: 100 / (2+1) = 33.33%
3/1: 100 / (3+1) = 25%
4/1: 100 / (4+1) = 20%, etc.
Simplistically, the overround is indicates the bookmaker’s profitability on a race. If an overround is 125%, then the bookmaker can expect to make a profit of 20% (25/125). However, this profit…
