    Oh for sure,I followed Federer myself even when Henman was beating him in finales you could tell he was special infact folk expected him to win Wimbledon much earlier,but this guy made so much on him and called him his banker.

    If AB is not drained and will use volume along with size he has a 40% chance to upset the man

    Reminds me of Leicester City FC winning the Premier League a couple of years ago. If you checked the form tables at the end of the previous season you would of seen them ending that year with 7 wins out of 9 - League winning form. Then the new season started and they were at 5000-1 to win it, they did just that. Skybet had to pay out millions.

    If indeed Broner is suicidal he shouldn't be allowed to box since another defeat could send him over the edge.

    When Garcia begins imitating how the former Broner behaved then he stops being a class act.

    I am surprised to learn that Broner is ONLY 27, which is two years younger than Garcia.

    :lol: youve got a sure winner. the thought of a bookie caring why you want to make a bet is laughable, as if he would have to pay you with his own money.
    the reason the odds changed is because plenty of people saw value in the long odds on broner and they decided to take advantage of that value, and now the odds have adjusted to balance out the money from both sides. doesnt mean that now more people think broner can win, it just means they think he has better than a 1 in 5 chance.

    Go call up ladbrokes Australia and say you are opening a NEW account and want to put $1,000 on a 5-1 underdog and see if they accept the bet. You have NO idea what you are talking about. The issue with people in this world is just because A REALITY is not THEIR REALITY.. they dismiss it because they simply cannot understand it. Ive been gambling since i was 16 and have plenty more stories if you think that is 'laughable'.. answer me this.. what dealings have you had with book makers? Whats the biggest bet you've ever placed? I have absolutely zero reason to lie and have shown proof of my bets. If i was to lie why wouldnt i say 'I TRIED TO BET 20 GRAND AND THEY SAID NO!' I am aware $1,000 is still a decent sum of money. But its by means not even close to the largest bet ive placed, so i would not say 1k if i was to lie. Ive posted exactly what you said in the latter half of your post. Books lower odds to even the amount a bets placed on each side so they make money regardless of who wins. Yes. Ive said that. And in regards to 'why would they care about accepting a bet like its coming out of their own pocket' or whatever you said.. online gambling sights have odds makers that make decisions on behalf of the company. The people who accept the bets are under them and do not negotiate or accept 'shady bets'.. the odds makers do. They are kind of like a pit boss in a casino. All final decisions are made through them and they have to answer to THEIR bosses and explain their odds and accepting bets. They need to turn over a profit just like any other business. And if they come across a bet that they believe isnt good for business they will lower their risk. The odds you see online arent FINAL. Its not mcdonalds. You can call and negotiate a price. I spoke directly to odds makers and the price we negotiated was too low for me so I went else where. Then i checked ladbrokes 5 minutes later and the odds went down, this im assuming is because my phone call alerted their attention to the fight and they realised they were offering much higher odds for broner than other bookmakers (which is why i went with them in the first place, all other books in australia lowered broners price the night before but ladbrokes still had him at 5-1 so i wanted to exploit that and get as much of a return as possible). Might be a coincidence might not be. But for the life of me i have no idea how that is unbelievable or laughable. You genuinely must not have much dealing with book makers or businesses in general. Once again, just because you do not understand something and havent experienced it yourself, do not mean its not true. You can live your life being naive to people simply telling other people things about their day if you choose to. Its your life. But thats such a closed in way to live. Why not message me and say 'what else did they say when you spoke them? Has it happened before? What are the bookmakers like in australia?' Would you not get more out of a discussion like that rather than ' hahaha that never happened!!' ? Anyway, im angry at myself for spending this amount of time on a forum justifying something as trivial as placing a bet. Sorry to the people that have to read this nonsense. I just cant stand people dismissing ones reality because their own is different. But thats the world we live in. People never understand what they dont understand.

    I favor Garcia definitely but for the first time ever.. Unfortunately I'm rooting for Broner to actually win..

    This is inconceivable. Broner if nothing else, has a solid chin and can
    take punishment.

    The smart money is on Garcia by points, but physically Broner has everything
    within his skillset and athleticism to beat Garcia. I'd be more confident picking
    Broner if his most recent fights indicated that he was more dedicated to his training.
    I think there's a small outside possibility that he is done playing games and is going
    to give it his all, a very........small possibility though.
