When the odds for this rematch first dropped, it was Fury who was favored at -125, with Wilder in the underdog slot at +105. Since then, the betting public has flipped the lines. It is now the WBC champ in Wilder who is the betting favorite, currently available as a -125 option. As for Fury, he can be acquired for both plus and minus odds, depending on where you look. The British slickster ranges anywhere from -111 up to +115.
The first time they fought, Wilder was a much stronger betting favorite, holding a money line of -170 to Fury’s underdog tag of +140. The bout saw Fury outbox Wilder for the bulk of the match. Come the 12th round, a massive bomb landed for Wilder that had Fury barely, and controversially, beating the count. When the dust settled, the judges declared it a draw, preventing both men from suffering their first career loss.
Let’s get to some crazy prop bet options courtesy of online betting site SportsBetting.ag. In his last bout/rematch with Luis Ortiz, Wilder walked to the ring in a lavish and extravagant head piece. Gamblers can wager on whether or not we are in store the same sort of show. For those that think so, the ‘Yes’ option is available with a massively favored moneyline of -1500, with ‘No’ sitting at a sizable underdog tick of +800.
Bettors can also bank on which athlete will be the first to shed blood. Fury has been pegged as the likely first bleeder, trending at a line -400, with a +300 comeback on Fury. Will the president of the United States acknowledge the winner of this match on Twitter? That too can be wagered on. If you think the POTUS will snub the victor, then ‘No’ is largely favored and offered up for -800. If you feel that Trump will hit the Twittersphere to congratulate the winner, then ‘Yes’ is your ticket at +500.
