    I love betting but Im not good at it so I dont usually put on huge bets...Plus I am poor.


    My best pick in recent times was Hopkins-Tito...I put $40 on the Nard win and $5 for a stoppage in either the 10th,11th or 12th. I was feeling a nard win on points but I thought I whack a little bit of dough on the pick the round. I got nearly $350 for my $55 outlay.

    My worst was putting $150 on Pac to beat Morales in the first fight...I also put another $32 (it was all my change I had lieing around in the car and at home) on the stoppage win...Bad call.

    Best one of the year was £400 on Hopkins to beat Pavlik at 9-2.

    Worst one was £500 on Maccrinelli to beat Haye. I thought Haye was loosing the plot before the fight but I think now it was more just the way everything was reported since most of the UK media wanted Enzo to win.

    Yeah £1800 up. When I went into the bookies on the Monday morning they didn't have enough money in the safe to pay it out. They did by lunchtime but it was still ****ing great to hear them have to say that.

    Didnt put money on it, but I ran around all the boards saying how Eastman would beat Hopkins.

    Hows that for a stretch?

    my best bet was $500 on PBF to beat Hatton by KO at 4-1

    my worst was $400 on David Diaz to beat Pacman. I thought Diaz was to big and he is one of my favorite fighters. Should have went with my brain instead of my heart. :patsch

    I gotta say that fight concerned me a little...I still though Pac would win but I was a little anxious about it.

    Absolute domination in the end.

    One thing that made the Haye/Macrinelli fight even worse was that I thought I'd put something on Haye during the fight if he was looking good, but Haye just done him too quickly. At the end of the first I thought that the longer it went on the better Enzo's chances so no need to panic.

    Worst: Big bet on Tony Oakey to beat Dean Francis. Was told Francis couldnt throw his right arm in sparring. KO'd Oakey in 9 or 10th with right as I remember.

    Best: Jones to beat Toney/Collins to beat Eubank. Not that much but was only a kid and were first real boxing bets.
