Weekend Betting Action
Hatton-Pacquaio, the Kentucky Derby, Chicago-Boston game seven, NHL playoffs, baseball betting action, Tiger Woods in the hunt?it?s going to be a huge weekend of sports and sports betting.
The weather?s great (at least in my neck of the woods), so we are really looking forward to the weekend.
And even if the sun ain?t shining where you are, don?t sweat it, there is tons of great TV all weekend.
I know I?m looking forward to one of the best events in sports every year - it?s the first Saturday in May and that means it?s time again for the Run for the Roses, the 135th Kentucky Derby.
Yes, Mint Juleps, funny hats and the ?most exciting two minutes in sports? will be front and center at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky.
?I Want Revenge? is the odds-on at +250 and will run from the 13 post, with other favorites Dunkirk and Pioneerof the Nile (both +400) running 15 and 16 respectively.
Bettors have been loading up on the top three, with 36% of all the early action coming in on I Want Revenge. You can check out all the Kentucky Derby odds.

Hatton ? Pacquaio: Over in Vegas, people will be eagerly anticipating the bout between Hatton and Pacquiao; the ?Hitman? Hatton is listed as a +190 ?dog while ?Pac-Man? Pacquiao is a -240 favorite.
The hype for the bout has been going for a while, with the HBO reality series Pacquiao/Hatton 24/7 and while Ring Magazine junior welterweight champ Hatton and challenger Pacquiao will provide fireworks inside the ring, trainers Freddie Roach and Floyd Mayweather Sr. will provide pyrotechnics outside, the two have been firing verbal salvos at one another for a while.
According to sportinglife.com, Roach said the following two weeks ago, ?I know Floyd is trying to deprogram Ricky from being a one-dimensional puncher, but it's too late to try and brainwash a fighter who has close to 50 fights during a 12-year professional career.?
?The fact is Floyd couldn't program a VCR much less a fighter with so many bad habits ingrained into him.?
Mayweather Sr. fired an insult of his own at a pre-fight press conference.
?I most definitely was the better fighter than Freddie Roach,? said the elder Mayweather.
?I got a [fight] poster with Freddie on my undercard.?
Oh the drama.
Hatton owns a 45-1 record with 32 knockouts and Pacquiao has 48 wins, 3 losses and 2 draws, 36 of his victories coming by way of KO.
Boxing Props
In terms final result betting, the most likely result, in terms of betting odds, is a knockout, technical knockout or disqualification by Pacquiao, which would pay out at -110.
Pacquiao taking the bout by decision pays out at +200; Hatton by decision is at +450; Hatton by KO, TKO and DQ is listed at +300 and a draw will pay out at +1700.
In Pacquiao?s last bout?the Dream Match?against Oscar De La Hoya back in December, the Pac-Man won via technical knockout after the Golden Boy threw in the towel at the start of Round 9.
Hatton?s last tilt had a similar ending as he won by TKO against Paulie Malignaggi, after Malignaggi?s camp threw in the towel after in the 11th round back in November.
In terms of Boxing Round proposition bets for this Saturday?s bout, the Over/Under is set at 9.5.
When it comes to actually picking the round and the winner in Saturday?s main event, the most likely outcomes are Pacquiao in 10 Rounds and Pacquiao in 11, both listed at +1200.
Bettors like Pacquaio, with 71% of all the betting action landing on the favorite.
It looks like it will be a great weekend for sports betting.
The NBA and NHL playoffs, golf, horse racing and boxing are all on the board and the Hatton-Pacquiao bout promises to be entertaining whether you are watching the Hitman and Pac-Man in the ring or Freddie Roach and Floyd Mayweather Sr. out of the ring.
Enjoy it all.
