No one told the bookies that Tyson didn't bother training for the fight though. Plus he had Douglas down for 12 seconds as well [Post edited 11 Feb 2020 17:16]

eh ? ? ?
Nobody told the bookies anything
they merely adjust the odds to suit the money bet
they DON'T guess at what they think will happen
it's amazing that there are folk who still think this | | | |

So a whole load of people bet Tyson at even money to smash the price down then? |  | | |

I was being rhetorical with hindsight dear boy. Sorry I'm giving that up on here though. | | | |

No, that's just you making up stuff
Th odds are adjusted to ensure that whatever happens they will make a profit - so those odds reflect their liability should any result happen.
Much like the casino with having an empty place on the wheel
If bookies guessed/predicted they would be out of business within days | | | |
