    For the gamblers on here what you think of this...

    5 fights as an accumulator - bearing in mind they are all underdogs bar one, all have a very very good chance of winning.

    Andre Dirrel to defeat Arthur Abraham

    David Haye to defeat John Ruiz

    Audley Harrison to defeat Albert Sosnowski

    Roy Jones Jnr to defeat Bernerd Hopkins

    aaand.......

    Sugar Shane Mosley to defeat Floyd Mayweather.



    But here's the attractive bit. The bookies gave me odds of 133/1!

    Amazing odds for boxing! gotta be worth a few quid?

    That's what you call a parlay over there, eh? Best of luck. Should be 10000/1.

    An accumulator is literally when the odds accumulate. So putting £10 on a 10/1 would become £100. Then that £100 would be placed on the odds of the next fight e.g 2/1 and become £200. that then would be used so on and so forth til you have won/lost your bet.

    I got odds on the accumulator withouth Mosley included and got odds of 20/1. Im having a tenner on that!

    Yea i am mate. Only a tenner get 200 out of it if it comes in. But that 133/1 is so tempting. Probably just wack a fiver on it. Just incase!

    You seem pretty sure of that wager, Watson. :lol:

    Let me help you out...

    A parlay or accumulator is a single bet that links together two or more individual wagers and is dependent on all of those wagers winning together.

    I'd rather take out RJJ instead of Mosley...and probably better odds too. In what bookie did you get these odds?

    I usually bet specific rounds only as the odds there are still good; planning to bet a nice sum on rounds 10 and 11 for Pac.
