The under 1.5 has been bet all the way down to -185 with the comeback on over 1.5 at +155. It was opened a lot closer to even. Conor winning in Rd 1 has also been pounded to -155 with the comback on not Conor in Rd 1 at +115. Conor is getting a lot of respect here. Even in mismatches, the favorite is rarely favored to win in Rd 1. The exception would be Ronda Rousey.
You the man...thanks. That over 1.5 looks pretty damn good right now. I'm certaiun the fight stays on the feet throughout, Siver is pretty durable. I'm gonna check my book again tonight to see what's up.
The over is starting to look better, but the beauty of the under is that it accounts for flash KOs. One of the paths to victory for Siver here is to catch Connor with something, and it's always more likely when they're fresh in the first. Not to mention Connor has 14 1st round finishes.
That's why the "Not McGregor Rd 1" is the play instead of the over. It covers Siver's chances as well. As mentioned, it's extremely rare for a fighter to be favored in Rd 1. McGregor is getting crazy respect here. He was also favored to finish Holloway.
Not everyone bets to make blow money. I bet for fun a lot and this is a fun bet, I say if you want some fun, go for it.
If the odds were all 1 to 1, what are the preferable bets to make in order, of the following:

Edit: I actually misread your post, but I'd still like to hear your thoughts on this anyway.
Double edit: Looked up the odds, the "Not McGregor RD1" is so much better than the over.
The odds on this fight are nuts. McGregor winning in round 1 has been up to -180 twice, yet fight won't start round 2 has only been -145. People are just running to "McGregor wins in round 1" without seeing that "fight doesn't start round 2" being cheaper and inclusive of Siver winning in the first.

How dare you even imply the Conner prophesy needs to be validated by your belief.if it was +1000 i'd still say no
Conner prophesized a stoppage within 2 minutes, i believe him
