That's correct. They both said "Yes". I had no idea which one was the true odds, but obviously, I bet the one with the better odds (as did many others). If this was deemed an error, then that bet should be canceled and the bets refunded, not changing the bettors intent.

I totally agree. I find it hard to believe the fight not going to a decision was the worse odds with Joe getting better odds at KOing B-Hop than winning by decision.

I am going to have to agree.....If the odds weren't that good I wouldn't have put the 30k on 3.00...

Bets will be refunded, just haven't had a chance to go into everyone's account and make the changes. I was away for the weekend. Everyone knew it was a typo and tried to take advantage of it, that's fine. It was ticked off as a loser because if it had paid out and then I tried to take the winnings, everyone would have whined about.

Should be done later today.

I knew one of these fools would get knocked down at least once, and its what saved me from losing massively on both this and The UFC.

Good betting night though Gygax. Well done! Lots of action.

Can't wait to see how nutz Sherk/Penn will get or Tito/Machida.
