I'm not to sure if this is already posted somewhere, but how are the odds calculated for vbookie events? Do the admins decide them or do they get them from another source? Thanks

All the odds on vbookie events that I put up come from reputable online sportsbooks. The only time I'll change the odds on a fight is if the odds just came out and seem to be off in my estimation and I think the betting public will bet the line down....and that is a very rare occurence.

Oh ok, thanks. I'm very curious for the odds of the upcoming Gracie/Hughes fight as well as the Swick/Riggs fight. They'll probably have Gracie and Riggs as the underdogs though.

Right now Royce is about a 2-1 underdog. I don't expect that line to move much over the next month. No line on the Riggs fight yet.

i follow those odds real closely usually last exit... can you remember any times when you had to do that???
i remember how great the odds were on the GSP\sherk fight for GSP at first... then also the riggs\diaz fight had diaz at over 2 to 1 briefly till it evened out...
any real good ones?

I remember the Sylvia/Telligman fight opening with Sylvia as a relatively big dog but it was bet down very quickly. It doesn't take long for people to pounce on a bad line and get it to where it should be. If I remember correctly, the same thing happened in the Sylvia/Mir fight also. Not much love for Big Tim from the oddsmakers.
