About a year ago, I was confused by that stuff and read an article about it. If only someone gave me your explanation I could have saved ten minutes! @Potato: you are damn right! Nobody is going to make good money on this card, unless some crazy bastard bet on all the underdogs and it somehow worked. These lines are tough, while I agree with who the underdog and who the favorite is, I can't justify voting either way. I have to bet $500 on GSP just to win $100?! I don't feel confident enough to throw around $500 like that. I would like to see GSP win, but I still can't say he is definitely going to win. Then again, I was also nervous about GSP vs Hughes II, and III as well as GSP vs Kos and we know how those went. @ micah: good explanation on the betting lines, it’s simple and to the point.
