Manny Pacquiao vs. Chris Algieri Betting Odds: American Knockout Of Filipino Pays $10,000 From A $100 Bet

The betting public already knows that Manny Pacquiao will enter the bout against Chris Algieri as the huge favourite in the fight to be held Sunday, Nov. 23 at the Cotai Arena, Venetian Resort in Macau. The Pacquiao camp, specifically chief trainer Freddie Roach has declared in many interviews that Algieri will not go the distance and that Pacquiao will stop the American via early knockout.

However, there are other betting options for those who think betting straight-up on the winner of the Pacquiao vs. Algieri is bad investment; after all Pacquiao is a 2/25 favourite in most sportsbooks— both online and on-site— and that only pays a flat $8 for every $100 bet on the Filipino pugilist. On the other hand, as the deep underdog at 6/1, Algieri’s backers are set to win $600 of every $100 bet made on the American.

Listed below are the other betting options for the Pacquiao vs. Algieri fight. Note that not all sports books offer the same lines or have the same betting odds, however if they do offer those lines most of which are within range of each other.

Algieri has sort of guaranteed of a stoppage win over Pacquiao too; and a knockout over Pacquiao has happened recently so if Algieri does bring his power with him, and gets lucky like the Mexican, then these value wager lines are very attractive to backers of an Algieri win via KO; Algieri via knockout from rounds 2 through 11 are priced at 66/1 and an Algieri KO win on the first or last round pays 100/1!

All across the board of the Pacquiao vs. Algieri betting, the Filipino’s payout doesn’t look as pretty as investing on Algieri for this one. That’s the price to pay on backing a huge favourite like Manny Pacquiao. Is it worth a risk to bet a small amount on Algieri and earn an exponentially bigger account? For Algieri backers, they are looking at the Marquez KO of the Filipino and are hoping history repeats itself. Is it work a risk betting on Pacquiao and get a way smaller payout? It is, if you the bettor believes this is all but a tune-up fight for the Filipino in preparation for the probable Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao fight in 2015.
