It doesn't happen too often. but sometimes a line will completely flip flop. Hopkins opened -140 at 5Dimes, and is now +120. Huge turn around. The fight is a ways off but someone or a group of someones love Bad Chad here. They jumped all over the plus money. Hmmm......

i know i did...i love bhop as a fighter....but certain styles give him fits.....
this is that style....
"Bad Chad" opened there at +200.
Before I was banned from 5-Dimes, they would only limit you to $100 bets until the week of the fight. That way, they could change the line without taking a huge hit on a dumbass line such as this opener. :shrug:
The same thing happened with Baldomer/Forrest.
Forrest opened at +180 and was bet within hours to -200.

I will never forget 5-Dimes ripping me off and then banning me for complaining about Botha vs Pedro Carrion being graded as a loss when the fight was a draw. They graded it as a draw and then changed it to a loss the next day.
The GM, Almighty Tony, banned me for arguing with him even after sending him a link showing the scores as a majority draw and them raising Botha's hand as retaining the title (WBF or some shit), not as the winner. They announced the scores in German.
Keep in mind I had been with them for over 10 years, told them when they had a line up after a fight had ended and the bet was only $200 (I had bet thousands on other fights). This Cretin told me he did not need to look at the link as HE had decided the bet would stand.
When I told him that was Bullshit, he banned me.
They are a good book BUT that dickhead Tony has a God complex.
