@pie2much why it’s a draw, voids the fight off parlay, just reduces odds doesn’t kill the whole leg

Even Jung knew he lost...

I guess a 10-8 is possible for that last round, which makes sense if Alvey edged out the first two rounds for it to be a draw.

It's always weird to me that draws are a push. Because you can also bet on a draw with long odds. If you bet a draw and a winner, you'd win and push. It's like... weirdly generous when sports books won't give you anything else easily.
