Official Fight Betting Thread

I think this is most likely a line error, i wouldn't bet this because you get limited faster betting such obvious line errors. But yeah, its most likely he wins this via decision as i think his opponent is pretty tuf and durable, has good skills and fought a very solid puncher at 126 (and beat him). Edwards is no puncher at all and was dropped by Granados recently.

 

Last time they had an error and l laid heavy on it, they honored the bet and changed the line ASAP. Think I’ll do it again today. I always fear the British stoppages but the guy Edwards is fighting is a big dude who has never been stopped.

 

A pal and I made a decent wad on Groves/Eubank last year because Eubank's "insta-famous" status skewed the odds in his favour when any Boxing fan worth his salt knew he had no chance against George Groves.

Although Thurman-Pac is slightly different in that Pacman is a legit future HoF inductee who's earned his stripes and picked up belts in 7/8 weight classes; he's also 40, been seriously KOd before now, and probably 8 years passed his best.

Unbelievably UK bookies have him as favourite. I've just put £100 on Thurman at 6/5 (£220 return on win).

Hopefully I won't be eating these words tomorrow.

 

Gallardo is pretty good. He won't get stopped here.

 

Has anyone put a bet on Rivas? Not too happy going against Whyte here but you can still get +400 which feels pretty decent and I think those odds will tighten up next week. Seeing how Helenius and Chisora were smaller underdogs against Whyte just makes me think...

 

Make your predictions known beforehand. We'll see if the talk matches up.

 

I didn't read beyond the first sentence when I posted my first response.

Wow! Bro! You are so good, you didn't even know the fight you put some cash on isn't for another week! Be humble. Otherwise, you're a *****.

 

It does seem with hindsight that Groves was a good bet, but I know professional bettors who were betting on Eubank in that fight. Likewise, I wouldn't be so certain Thurman wins. But yeah, casual bettors do skew the odds.

 

That's a good bet regardless of whether you win or lose money on it.

 

After missing the boat yesterday, would have done well with 3 parlays on the Khan and Fury bouts, I think I gotta take a stab today

 

The same applies to most betting markets where the casuals bet with their hearts instead on their heads

 

Thurman is going to school Pacquiao.

Fight isn't tomorrow though, it's next week.

 

I imagine Whyte won’t overlook him

 

Had a decent bet on Gorman ITD at +500. Think the line is clearly off.

 

They swapped the line after I made the bet.

Second time they’ve had a pretty good screw up. Put just under 500 on it. Too good to pass up.
