Musk-Zuck Betting Odds Move After GSP Tweet: Elon Now Pays Close to $300

Bettors are beginning to back underdog Elon Musk in the potential MMA cage fight against Mark Zuckerberg.

Following a late-night tweet from Musk on Monday where he accepted UFC Hall of Fame fighter Georges St-Pierre's invitation to train him for the bout, bets flooded in on Twitter’s owner for the highly anticipated "must see" Musk-Zuck cage fight.

"I'm not sure training from GSP (St-Pierre) is going to make a ton of difference in terms of Elon's chances, but clearly some of our bettors believe it will," Adam Burns, Sportsbook Manager at BetOnnline.ag, said. "We're all rooting for this fight to happen, but there are still so many unknowns, including how long they'll be able to train before stepping in the octagon."

"We opened the odds for Musk vs. Zuck last Wednesday. Zuckerberg was initially installed as a -500 favorite, which equated to an 83.3% implied probability that the Meta CEO would emerge victorious in the fight," the nearly 25-year-old BetOnline advised Tuesday. "But, now, as wagers continue to come in, the odds are shifting toward Musk."

Betting on Musk-Zuck is available from all US states on BetOnline except New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Nevada.

Here are the current numbers:

Fight Odds

Mark Zuckerberg -350

Elon Musk +275

While still a sizable favorite, these latest odds have dropped Zuck’s chances to 77.8%.

The sportsbook reported that, currently, 85.7% of the bets are on Musk and that 95.2% of the handle (total amount wagered) is also on Musk.
