Default Question

I've got two bets I am wondering about....

The first is on Soto-Lorenzo.

The odds Soto wins inside the distance are -123.
The odds the bout goes the distance is +163.

This means I need to bet $1490 to win $1230.
If I bet $1230, I'll win $2004.90.

This means I can make the "inside the distance bet" to cover the "distance" bet and if I win the distance bet, I make $514.90.

Am I correct in assuming this and is this generally a good idea? I just can't see Soto getting beat in this case but....it's alot of bread to shell out...

Soto could get clipped. Your banking on him winning. You never know.
