I want to ask how the odds work? Because I got curious about the odds of Manny Pacquiao vs Keith Thurman (boxing)
-Why the odds spike too huge changes? It is normal?
When there's a big movement in the odds it means most sports bettors are putting their money on a team or player. Sometimes there could be an injury on a player that causes these movements. It's normal to see the odds in this match move towards Pacquiao since he has more fights recently than Thurman.
If there is an injury we would have known it since it will be publish in the news, but if there's an inside info about a certain injury maybe that injury is for Thurman since he dropped from being a favorite at the start the line was open. I have a feeling that both are healthy as of now, and it's just that the oddsmaker are wrong in setting the opening line, this should be even 1.90 as the standard odds.
