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.
Thanks, there's could be major effects on the other side, like negative event happened to Keith Thurman that's why the odds spiked.
I'm just curious this since this is my first time encountered this (not only on boxing), the odds spiked too much for me.
It has happened also a couple of time with me, especially when the connection is not very good, so the polling rate is lower than normal and gradual variations are not shown, instead there is a spike.
