    if you are betting on a favorite, e.g., che mills -3.5, your bet will win if he either (a) wins ITD or (b) if he wins a decision by at least 4 more rounds than his opponent when you combine all the judges scorecards. 30-27 on all 3 scorecards would be a winner since he won by 9 total rounds. 30-27, 29-28, 29-28 would also be a winner. but 29-28 x 3 would be a loser since he only won by 3 total rounds.

    if you are betting on the underdog, e.g., matt riddle +3.5, your bet will win if he either (a) wins ITD, (b) wins a decision, or (c) if he loses a decision by less than 4 total rounds. if he loses 29-28 on all 3 scorecards, the bet is a winner.

      Got it, so let us suppose Fighter A was an underdog and was fighting fighter B,

      And let us suppose I placed a +3.5 bet on fighter A

      I would win provided fighter A either won ITD or got a decision that after the final verdict +3.5 points was a winner? Ie. 26-30 for fighter B would be a loss, 27-30 for fighter B would be a win?

        Wait, I just reread your posts, so the points handicap applies to all 3 scorecards, I got it.

        Sorry, I'm not good with numbers.

            You also have to count Jimmy Smith's unofficial scorecard.
