    19/5 on betfair for hatton to KO pac.

    that is cracking odds for what to my mind is a 50-50 fight. pac is way overrated with the bookies cos of his "P4P no 1" status.

    saying all this, i need some moral support that this is a good idea, because im still emotionally scarred from the 250 quid i lost on margarito cotto fight - havent bet since. you can imagine my thoughts on the wraps scandal.

    i dont work for these guys or anything but i used to work in the industry and i know others here like a bet, so if you havent signed up to any of these bookies u get free money basically as they are relying on you becoming an addict and lining their pockets for a while:

    make a 10 quid bet, get 15 back :good

    :lol:

    19/5 is about fair I'd say.

    Can't believe you lost a grand on Marg vs Cotto..... I left that one alone, but had I been forced, Marg by stoppage every time!

    Oooooft. I'd be tempted to fly over to mexico and shoot the cheating big ******* :D Try oddschecker.com for a review of all the odds, they also list bookies offers if you hover your cursor over the wee red icon at the top of each bookies name so its fairly easy to essentially double the odds for a bet up to £20 or £25:good Here's the table for method of victory for Pac V Wicky

    My betting philosopshy is dont bet on someone because the odds are good, bet on who you think will win.

    Means taking smaller wins most of the time, but it works for me.

    I'd give pac the edge in this fight, so I'd stay out of that bet!

    im going for hatton by KO purely because pac is crap going backwards and ricky is a big guy who i think will put him on the back foot so i reckon its worth £20, dnt bet what u cant afford to lose.

    For me it's the most likely conclusion to how the bout will end, so from that point of view 19/5 is a great bet.

    Yea, that's more like the odds that i got about a week ago on Betfair. They phoned me up giving me a £20 covered loss bet so plumbed for Hatton KO anyround. £82return including my stake :D

    Oooooo.... I'd go for all of these.

    None of them are fighting the best in their division (ok, that's very, very disingenous about the Hatton fight, but still...).

    I believe that Froch is absolutely nailed on (I like Taylor, but his punch and Taylor's recent showings - how he's put off by power - makes this a sure thing for me); Khan has too much skill for Kotelnik (I wouldn't rule out a late stoppage, but nine times out of ten I would take Khan - he's a world class fighter, all the skills in the world, but could lose to a Ross Purritty - but WK ain't done so badly); Haye, well.... I think he's our most talented fighter since Naz... but with a poorer chin but tougher metanlly - he'll win, but I'll bet money rathr than mi balls on it; then hatton... I really think he'll win BUT we really dunno whther Hatton is back to his pre to just post Tszyu brilliance and whether Pac rwally takes the weight (his ODLH win was still brilliant, even if Oscar couldn't quite pull the trigger).

    I'll go for four UK wins. Froch and Haye I'll def bet on. They're the new Naz and Lennox.
