Looking for some big underdogs to bark tonight: Anthony Joshua/Andy Ruiz Jr. Over 6½ (+120) $100.00 for $120.00 Ray Robinson (+475) vs Josh Kelly $100.00 for $475.00 Roberto Castaneda (+2000) vs Marlon Tapales $50.00 for $1,000.00 Rodney Hernandez (+460) vs Onoriode Ehwarieme $100.00 for $460.00 Rodney Hernandez (+200) vs Onoriode Ehwarieme $200.00 for $400.00 Rodney Hernandez (+238) vs Onoriode Ehwarieme ~$467.50 for ~$1,112.65 (3-way)
I cashed out when it was at +650 on one bet and when it was at +400 on another bet. They wouldn’t let me cash out on the Fight ends in rounds 9-10
I would have had the over under of 3.5 right in the Buatsi fight. Went 9 seconds over. I felt 3.5 was a very low bar.
Exactly what I said was going to happen, happened. This scenario happens a lot when guys are favoured to win by TKO / KO in the -1000 or more range. Their late round finish odds are off the charts and then after a few rounds they come down drastically. I see this with Joyce, Dubois type fighters (usually in the higher weight classes). I only bet on Bet365 because their in play boxing odds and cash out options create lots of opportunities for value.
Anyone have money on Ruiz? I checked earlier and Bovada had 8PM as the time to place bets on the fight (for some reason I can't place bets on my stupid phone). I got home around 7:30 and the betting window was already closed. I'm flipping pissed off right now, I was going to take both Ruiz and the over.
I only had the over 6½ in the Joshua/Ruiz Jr. bout pre-fight which missed by three seconds, but was able to add $100 on him live after round 6 at +241. If there's a bet you really want to get down, I would try to bet a little sooner next time, not last minute and have accounts at more than just one sportsbook so you can have more options and get the best price close to closing as some books pull lines sooner than others.
You're right, it's an expensive lesson. I'd be ~$500 richer today. You're in the US right? What book do you use?
Most every one available, about a dozen all together, so I can shop for the best prices for boxing & MMA moneylines, totals & props. 5Dimes & Bookmaker are two of the best for combat sports plus a bunch more if you are willing to spread your bankroll around.
