To make a $100 profit by betting on Caleb Plant to retain his IBF super middleweight title by defeating former champion Caleb Truax, one would have to risk $3,000, which makes about as much sense as moving to Cleveland.
The unbeaten Plant is -3000 at BetMGM, while Truax is +900.
The two will meet on Saturday (8 p.m. ET, Fox) in Los Angeles, and unless you have the net worth of Jeff Bezos, it’s impossible to make money by placing a straight bet on Plant.
If you were to take Plant at +3000 and risked $150,000, you’d make a profit of $5,000 if Plant wins.
