    ****ing idiot McPhilbin. Why was he throwing a ****ing jab in the round 3. What's he trying to set up? A hug? Stop ****ing holding with an experienced fighter and stop getting frustrated in the future, get some distance and throw a punch. The guy is coming off a brutal knockout, stop trying to box him, ESPECIALLY in the last round. You ****ing idiot. You just cost me £70

    And thank ****ing god Skelton's knockdown wasn't called or I would be crying right now. I had £100 on him against McBride.

    I wish I could just win one ****ing bet. Just the ****ing one. I hate being poor, I have nothing to do with this **** amount of money. What am I gonna do? Buy a ****ing twix? Goddamnit.

    All in all I basically broke even. My fault was putting £50 on McPhilbin at 5/1 before his odds came in at 15/2, which i then put another £20 on. I put £100 on Skelton to beat McBride, which thank **** he JUST did and won back £22 covering the second bet. When McPhilbin cost me £50, I stuck £100 on Sprott at 2/5 before his odds shipped back to 4/11 which I then put another £20 on, winning back £40 and £27 respectively.

    So to sum up, my total grandsum is £-1. And I will never bet on Prizefighter again. Greed will imprison us all.

    You should have just bet on Sprott from the start like you said, and like I said ;)

    That was a pretty comfortable victory in the end by Prizefighter standards.

    :lol: Amen. Didn't get on the 5/2, but stuck £50 on at just under 2/1 before the tourney began. Had a bit of a dry spell recently, so now I'll see what I can roll these winnings up in to.

    I was totally going to but his odds changed when I was about to. I was waiting for a little more feedback to be sure, then his odds changed and it just wasn't worth it. I regret nothing though, it made the prizefighter ten times more interesting, worst pf so far, no doubt.
