Pubs throughout Scotland, including Glasgow and Edinburgh will be showing the big Mayweather-McGregor fight. Bets can be placed from one’s smart phone, iPad or laptop though we would encourage folks to set up a wagering account long before the start of the fight (Saturday August 26 at 9 pm EST/ 02:00 Scotland)
Despite the seemingly universal downplaying of Mayweather's chances, 10bet casino has him at a mere -400 against McGregor.

The Alea Casino Glasgow - Springfield Quay, Paisley Rd, Glasgow G5 8NP, UK – Giant wall of TVs and showing the fight for free.
With the action continuing to be so one-sided in McGregor’s favor, the fighter who has never lost to a professional boxer in 49 fights is currently listed at -475 to win, while the mixed martial artist is at +325 to win.
Sportsbooks are hoping that “sharps” — expert gamblers — will provide a safety net, by placing heavy bets on Mayweather later in the week, when the line falls even more, and provides its greatest value for the favorite.
Of Mayweather’s eight fights since 2011, the 40-year-old has only had such low odds to win in two fights — against Manny Pacquiao and Canelo Alvarez.
