Hatton vs Pacquiao: How to Get the Best Price on Your Bets

Keeping a close eye on the Ricky Hatton vs Manny Pacquiao odds on various UK sportsbooks definitely pays off once you stumble upon those pots of gold you weren't expecting. Having profiled the Hatton/Pacquiao markets at a number of different UK-based sportsbooks I've realized that some of the best odds are available at Bet365. The Bet365 odds on Hatton/Pacquiao are slightly higher than other sites and one of the really enticing aspects is that you can back Round Groups instead of just individual rounds. For instance, instead of laying three separate bets on Hatton to win in the 7, 8, and 9 rounds at 29/1 per round, you can back them all at once rounds 7-9 for 13/1. If you're betting on a Hatton victory between rounds 10-12 you're actually getting a 1 point bonus as the odds are 15/1 instead of the 34/1 per round. The odds for Pacquiao's method of victory betting at Bet365 are 2.87 for a victory by KO, TKO or DQ. His listed odds are the same for a decision or technical decision. Hatton's outcome odds start at 4/1 for KO, TKO or DQ and they rise to 4.5 for a win by decision. A draw or a technical draw pays 23/1 but that usually doesn't ever happen. In terms of the round-by-round odds at Bet365, You'll find slightly higher prices as well. Hatton ranges from 51/1 (1st round victory) down to 26/1 (9th round victory). Pacquiao's odds range from 51/1 (1st round victory) down to 17/1 (8th or 9th round victory). This is more value than you'll find at many other sites and even total rounds pays off better. Over 9.5 pays 1.53 and under 9/5 rounds pays 2.37.
