Manny Pacquiao vs Ricky Hatton Betting Tips: Hatton Listed at 3/1 on Betfair

If you've got the feeling that Ricky "The Hitman" Hatton is going to pull off an epic win against Manny Pacquiao this coming May, then I suggest you hightail it over to Betfair and lock in your bet on the Hatton win because Ricky has just drifted up to a full 3/1 on any method of victory. That's right, Hatton can win at KO, TKO, DQ or any form of decision and you're still getting paid out at 3/1. You simply can't beat those odds anywhere else at the moment. Pacquiao is listed at 1.53 while an unlikely draw is paying 46/1. In terms of the method of victory betting, you're also going to be looking at way higher odds at Betfair than you will find with more traditional sportsbooks. The "open-market" atmosphere at Betfair really factors into the equation with excellent odds being available on both fighters no matter how you think they'll pull off the victory. Hatton by KO, TKO or DQ pays a whopping 3.85 while a Hatton decision victory pays 3.9. Pacquiao can be backed for the KO, TKO, or DQ victory at 2.68 and the decision at 2.72. You can tell from the odds that the layers aren't convinced that this one will go to a decision and you can bank on the fact that both fighters will be looking for the knock-out the entire fight. The volume has so far been low, but we're expecting things to ratchet up once promotion for the fight becomes heavier and once Hatton's legions of fans start exiting England via aircraft to take over Las Vegas once again. I'm confident that Hatton remains overpriced and he is a much more likely victor than many are giving him credit for. Pacquiao destroyed a past-it De La Hoya and a hungry Hatton is a completely different story.
