I've never placed a bet in my life, have no idea wtf odds mean really, i just want to bet on Holly, Help me obi-wan! (mainly scared of shady internet sites)
so like what site should i use? I actually do business with paypal and skrill, so i can actually fund it that way, or if theres a sherbro guide to betting for noobs, i'll read up on that as well, i just don't trust other internet betting sites, you know.
usa-nj if that matters, i know i could travel to mohegan or the broadwalk, but I haven't even been inside a Casino for more than 5minutes!
the websites available depend on your country of residence
5dimes.eu is the best one in the states, i can tell you that.
i'm not sure if they accept paypal as a deposit method, though. can anyone confirm/deny this?
as far as "wanting to bet on holly" -- if you don't know what odds mean -- you're off on the wrong foot.
every fight you ever bet, you need to analyze the match-up on your end, decide on the likelihood(s) of the outcomes, and then apply them against the price you're offered.
right now, for example, holly holm is -360 vs miesha on 5dimes. using american moneylines (as opposed to european decimal odds) -- that means you'd need to bet 360 to win 100 on holly. (so if you deposited money into 5dimes, and then risked $360 on her, you'd get back $460 total if she wins, but lose $360 if she loses).
-360 implies that she wins the fight 7 out of 9 times to break even (basically). in other words, if you made this bet on this fight in this spot 9 times and it went 7-2, you'd break even. (cause you'd win 100 7 times and lose 360 twice, so you'd lose $20, which is close to 0 relatively)
so you need her to win the fight a greater % of the time than 7/9, or 77.77%. you need holly to win at LEAST 80% of the time in order to make -360 holm a good bet.
