    Maynard/Edgar goes 3 round distance

    this is a 5 round fight, so how would the bookie treat wagers on this line? my guess is they cancel all bets once they realize the mistake, but im just curious what people think. would it be worth it to bet "goes the 3 round distance" line and cross fingers that they honor the bet?

    When the fight happens they aren't going to grade the bet when the 3rd round finishes! Are you thinking that they might not realise that another 2 rounds happened?!
    Before the cancellation of the previous rematch before they got injured the odds were pretty similar and they hadn't made the error of putting 3 rnds rather than 5 so it would probably stand as ur not gaining anything. If it was a 3 round fight the odds would be more like -550.

    Pretty slim chance that they let it stand and grade it as o/u 3 rounds. And you're betting -420 on a fight almost 3 months out.

    im just sayin, i think i can make a reasonable argument that "goes 3 round distance" should be interpreted as "starts round 4". lol. im sure it wouldn't work, but it would be funny.

    i hear ya. if anything it would be part of a longshot parlay for a very small stake.

    5dimes will just cancel you. A shady book would freeroll you.
