    Payouts are currently a sorely tempting quadruple return on investment.

    Anyone dare to lump some genuine minted currency (or Bitcoin, assuming that's a thing now on betting sites?) on the older, smaller man?

    Post your Vegas paper slips, or screenshot your online receipts. :thumbsup:

    I did! I placed 197.50 on rigo on a straight bet. Payout will be 701.50, if rigo can pull it off... The odds were too good to pass up on.

    I'm not betting rigo but I'm contemplating betting loma by decision at +200.

    I'm afraid Rigo might get stopped but it probably won't happen at this level. However, I don't think rigo's style will be favored by the judges.

    Still, the odds on rigo are juicy, so you only need to be right like 35% of the time to profit. Does he win that often? Personally I don't think so.

    I thought I made it clear,
    bet against Rigo,
    Why?
    This is why I'm here.

    The answer to "Why?" is,
    they were raised wrong.
    But we'll take that $.
    Not your fault, it's a parenting issue.

    Regardless of your own personal analytical breakdown or expectation per the outcome, I don't think we are ever apt to see odds as juicy as 4 to 1 in the case of an underdog as decorated (in the amateur ranks and pro) and by acclamation highly rated as Rigondeaux, with an unbeaten record. Even if you're pretty sure (but not positive) of a Loma victory, this is one time when a cheeky punt is more than justified. I'm seeing a lot of talk like this is a close to 50-50 affair (including from some Lomachenko fans hopeful to maximize credit for him), so if anybody is claiming to have the stones to ride with the 'dog, this is the space to prove it.

    We've got 10/3 on Rigo here in the UK, so nearer 3/1 than 4/1. I like to back an underdog with a significant stake when I feel analytically assured of an upset, but it's my rule never to take odds just because they look nice on paper.

    I'd like to back him, but I just think he's got too much going against him here. Assuming this goes 12 rounds and his performance merits a decision in his favor, who says he's going to get it? He needs to win a whole bunch of rounds very clearly, or else stop Loma. It's a lot to ask.

    I put $20 on rigo KO, cause why not. I don't expect it but it's not in the realm of impossibility
