its just the fact that you can vote for serra to just win and get more points than actually betting for a specific finish (tko)
it would make no sense whatsoever for anyone to bet for serra to win by tko, considering you would get more points to just bet for serra to win..
In boxing there are odds higher an lower for the same guy.
Lets say Tyson was still fighting in his prime, odds were be heavily favored for him to win within the first 3 rounds by ko, but you could get on him to win just out right for little money, or bet on a 12 round UD for a huge sum.
Now Who is more likely to finish the fight by tko or ko, GSP or Serra. Serra is, he finished GSP the last time they fought.
Just because Serra is the favorite to win the fight, doesn't mean i should make him the underdog to win by tko or ko.
Like i said, if you don't like the odds don't bet on them. I put them there for something extra.
Most people bet on more then one thing, i understand betting on serra to win is much better then Serra by tko. But i couldn't just put GSP to win by tko an not have a option for Serra.
And why would Serras odds for a sub be for the underdog, he has amazing bjj.

No one is saying that your logic doesn't make sense. It does make sense. We're saying the execution of that logic is what doesn't make sense.
You have Matt Serra a 560/100 underdog to win the fight, yet the odds of him winning, in a specific fashion (TKO/KO) are better than the odds given to just pick him to win the fight (which includes TKO/KO/Sub/Decision.)
Your logic makes sense. Serra won by TKO/KO last time, and thus you can argue he's more likely to win this fight by KO than GSP. However, in order to properly execute what you're trying to do, the odds of him winning by TKO/KO HAVE to be worse than 560/100 (same goes for the Serra by sub odds.)
It's not even the fact that there is no incentive to make that bet, but you'd never in a million years see odds like that. It's like betting on a baseball game, and getting 300/100 odds that the Nationals beat the Mets, and then getting 100/150 that the Nationals beat the Mets by 3 runs and the arguement made for odds like that was that if the Nationals win, they're gonna win big. The more specific you get with your bets, the better odds you should be getting.
But I get it, you don't want to admit that you goofed a bit, so if we don't like the odds, don't bet on it. Just trying to help tho. Don't take it as a personal attack, because I do understand what you were trying to do.
you essentially gave the people who want to bet on GSP winning, the chance to bet on him as an underdog, when he's actually the favorite. Instead of betting on him to just win the fight for little money, they can bet on him winning by ko/tko or sub and actually get phenomenal odds. If he's the fav in the fight, he shouldn't be the underdog to win by ko/tko or sub. Why do you think you have 19 people betting on him to win by ko/tko instead of them betting on him to actually win the fight?

Because he is the underdog to win by tko ko or sub lol.
My logic is good, but as D.O pointed out the way it was set up is flawed.
I mean i actually think GSP should be the underdog, if not the underdog should only be a slight underdog, i mean Serra did knock him out a year ago. I mean that would be like imo putting Franklin as the favorite to win in the rematch against Anderson, because he beat Okami by dec and Jmac by stoppage.
When was the last time Serra was tko'ed or let alone subbed.
Hey i control the vbookie so if i wanted i could make GSP vs Godzilla lol.

All i was doing was trying.
You do a good job man, we're just Monday Morning quarterbacking. I understand the logic but it was severly flawed dawg! LOL
