Kid Galahad to get a "British stoppage" He is VERY accurate, so many of his shots will hit his opponent cleanly without ever knocking them clean out. However it might be a bit like Corley last week, where he stuns his foe one times too many and the ref steps in.

I think if Galahad gets the stoppage (I am predicting that he will), then it will more likely be down to facial damage. Wale is strong for the first half of a fight, but once he slows down his head movement is very stationary and is an easy target to be picked off. He does have a decent chin though (despite being hurt by that decent French fighter a little while ago), but is very susceptible to cuts - they've plagued him throughout his career, including in his sole stoppage loss a few years ago.

Yea, ryan o'shaugnessy is really good. loveable rogues are the ones that people seem to be posting up about most on twitter and facebook, the girls love them and that is usually where most of the votes come from. Everyone expects the dog act to come in the top two. I expect it to come 3rd or 4th with loveable rogues coming either first or second.

It completely depends on the order in which the acts perform, IMO.

For example, if the Loveable Rogues or the dog act are the 2nd or 3rd performers on the show, then they have little chance of getting into the top 3. They're two of the favourites so I doubt they'll get a bad position, but you never know.

Has the Irish lad got a chance then coz he's 16/1 to win and 13/8 to finish in top 3 with Skybet, Guna have a few Quid on the top 3

[lefthook82]

bgt is betweeen the dog and pavarotti. Sneaky bet on acquabatique perhaps. Anything else is a waste of money

[lefthook82]

Ryan if he gets the 'pimp slot' may have a chance, but I think that slot will be reserved for Ashle and Pudsey

Did the over (8.5) for 4/6 as part of my bet but looking at Wale's face that may be dodgy.

They've always got ways around it. You'll need to turnover that £200 about 50 times before they consider giving it to you as cash.

VERY few times do these things ever work in my experience and even then it's not £200 you'll end up with.

Aye, the only time it's ever been as simple as 50-50 on red and black with me was a free £10 from skybet a few months back.

Managed to rollover a £25 bonus on bet365 and get £100 back before but it took ****ing ages and I ended up betting on squash and obscure women's football at 5am.

Dispute with bookie
Hello chaps just a quick post to ask for opinions on my dilemma.
Had a treble last night on chris eubank jnr to win by decision or technical decision......kid Galahad to win by decision or techincal decision .......and Junior Witter to win outright.......a very decent return of just under 60/1!!!
Any way my betting slip was judged to be a loser in the shop today......they couldn't tell me which fight was a loser.
I am presuming the Kid Galahad fight which the ring docter stopped for cuts was the loser.......but then surely a technical decision would be given making my bet a winner??
Excuse my ignorance but what exectly is a decision and what is a technical decision!?
cuts are usually ruled as tko's so just what exactly is the technical decision???
your thoughts are greatly appreciated
thanks
