BetOnline was quick to release odds on a Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury rematch. Their odds were set at -115 each.
By a little after 6 pm ET Sunday, the odds for the Sunday bout between these two fighters went from Paul -170 to +350 and Fury +140 to -500 in live betting.
Dave Mason of BetOnline called it some "insane action on this Jake Paul -170 vs Tommy Fury +150 bout" with Team BetOnline needing Fury large. "69% of the cash on Paul. 81% of the parlay cash on Paul as well".
YouTube sensation Paul ultimately suffered his first defeat in the ring.
Paul (6-1) knocked down Fury with a short left hand early in the final round of their cruiserweight bout, but the younger half-brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury controlled long stretches of the eight-round meeting at Diriyah Arena.
Two judges scored the bout 76-73 for Fury (9-0, 4 KOs), while the third favored Paul, 75-74.
“I’ve already won every single way in life,” Paul said. “I made it farther than I ever thought I would, and beyond. This is a humbling experience. I’ll take it on the chin and come back.”
Gambling911.com witnessed significant traffic coming into this match, however, it was short-lived due to the early time compared to a typical boxing or UFC match. Most gamblers were already settled in by 4 pm ET with the main event getting underway around 6 pm ET. Still, this particular Sunday would otherwise had have nominal wagering activity.
13 of the 15 biggest bets were on Jake Paul, according to Mason.
