ESPN2 FNF: Juan Carlos Burgos vs. Yakubu Amidu RBR

Anyone know what time the Ruiz-Hanks fight will be ET?

 

Damn I had a small wager on Amidu, too. Burgos was 1/20.....

 

Ten cents...on the dollar. (apparently five cents, some places)

So pretty much anyone who bet on Burgos, must have bet a lot to make it worth it.

So... :!:

 

I have no problem whatsoever with the draw, but the judge who gave it 116-112 for Amidu needs to be brought in to review his scoring, and then probably suspended. A unanimous or majority draw, I would have had no problem with. But even 7-5 for Amidu would have been stretching it. I feel bad for Burgos, but a draw doesn't kill him, and hopefully ESPN brings him back again.

 

I've always felt you should get your stake back on a draw. I mean who the fck bets on a draw, anyway?

 

You do unless you made a prop bet.

 

I don't follow. Explain. Where I was betting, you had 3 options, one being a draw. They won't give me money back, I doubt.

 

7:30 AM according to the Top Rank website.

 

Yep. I remember Eubank with 2 draws in a row back in the day. 3 or more, dunno. Probably some journeyman getting robbed

 

Omar "The Executioner" Valdez did it...

All in the same calendar year, too.

 

FNF have been delivering the goods week in, week out. arty
Edit

The fight is now on youtube btw.

 

Well, it was a spirited effort by both fighters.

 

For my bookie you get two different sections...one where you choose the winner straight up (+ over/under if offered) and another section for prop bets where you can choose a draw etc. If you made a straight up bet (ive probably got the wrong terminology) and it ends in a draw you get your money back.

I guess it all depends on the website you use. I know what you're saying though, that's how soccer bets are made with the draw option to screw you.

 

Thank you. I can sleep in now, otherwise I would have got up at 5 AM.

 

Hmmm, yes well I use a UK bookie. It was only the princely sum of £15 anyway, but still. The draw option in football, which isn't soccer, isn't a bad bet at all. Draws in football are common. Nobody bets on boxing draws, though.
