David Haye vs Nikolay Valuev

[TimberWolf]

I was just looking at the betting odds at http://www.oddschecker.com/boxing/da...uev/win-market


I don't often (if ever) look at betting odds, so I hope I have interpreted these correctly. The fractions were given as :


Valuev odds: 10 / 11, 8 / 11, 20 / 21, 10 / 11, 19 / 20, 4 / 5, 10 / 11, 5 / 6, 10 / 11, 4 / 5, 10 / 11, 18 / 19, 4 / 5, 5 / 6, 10 / 11, 5 / 6, 24 / 23, 17 / 16

Hayes odds: 10 / 11, 1, 20 / 21, 10 / 11, 19 / 20, 10 / 11, 10 / 11, 10 / 11, 10 / 11, 10 / 11, 10 / 11, 4 / 5, 10 / 11, 5 / 6, 10 / 11, 5 / 6, 18 / 19, 39 / 40

Which in decimal and other columns I interpreted to:

    ValueV  Hayes       (V+H)/2     Exp. Winner
01) 0.91    0.91       0.91         -
02) 0.73    1.00       0.86         H
03) 0.95    0.95       0.95         -
04) 0.91    0.91       0.91         -
05) 0.95    0.95       0.95         -
06) 0.80    0.91       0.85         H
07) 0.91    0.91       0.91         -
08) 0.83    0.91       0.87         H
09) 0.91    0.91       0.91         -
10) 0.80    0.91       0.85         H
11) 0.91    0.91       0.91         -
12) 0.95    0.80       0.87         V
13) 0.80    0.91       0.85         H
14) 0.83    0.83       0.83         -
15) 0.91    0.91       0.91         -
16) 0.83    0.83       0.83         -
17) 1.04    0.95       1.00         V
18) 1.06    0.98       1.02         V

Strangely enough, 1 bookie (the last one in the list) was paying out more than coming in

Haye in front after three rounds.

[TimberWolf]

Haye: Gawd, it's hard work hitting this guy, I'm knackered.

[AtW]

Haye can run all he want but Valuev needs to get lucky only once...
