British Forum BETTING thread

Escobar, how you see Rios v Gamboa being priced?

 

Hate to aftertime but I followed on the "Neither fighter to be knocked down" bet & also had a separate Cloud/Williams Pts double so about £230 up...just gutted I didn't have it all as a treble

 

Klitschko-Chisora really ****ed up my bets last night.

I had about £20 on different bets with Klitschko to stop him (in different rounds etc.) added with Cloud decision and McGee.

Would have got a couple of hundred had Klitschko knocked him out in the 7th or 8th. Would have got a decent amount had he knocked him out at any time.

That was the one I was surest on too!




Still, £50 or so up for the weekend.

 

Don't feel guilty, when betting on boxing you have to factor robberies in, everybody betting on the Cloud fight last night should have known it was a possibility, its sad for the sport but thats the harsh reality.

 

Got a treble on Klit PTS, Cleverly Pts and Huck PTS (i know, not sure why i picked huck:huh)

30/1

 

I think Huck will beat him.

There's no preference from the promoters as to who wins - perhaps Huck seen as he's slightly mental and more marketable. Povetkin has looked absolutely terrible since he did a job on Chambers about four years ago.

 

The way Rios-Gamboa is priced up is hugely interesting IMO. Just looking at differing concensus on here as to the outcome shows that. I'm genuinely not sure who's going to be favourite. For what it's worth I think Gamboa takes it and I'm hoping to get something along the lines of 4/5 if not better.

 

If anyone is looking for a long term investment type bet I would recommend doing this double:

S Vettel (F1) & sebastian Loeb (WRC) both to win their respective world championships.

Works out as a shade over 2/1, which is pretty much like printing money.

 

Had a great return from Saturdays fight so now eyeing up Bruce for Wolves job as hes gone out to 11/4.

 

I had £140 on vitali on points @ 7/2
Tryed covering myself with a late knockout 10/11/12
Gambled on chisoras decent chin!

Napoli to beat chelsea tommorow!

Any thoughts on wladmirs upcoming bout?

 

Wlad by destruction Mormeck looks **** at heavyweight barely got past Fast Fres and Timur Ibragimov. Add to that he's been KO'd at CW and it won't be much of a night.

 

I like Alexander on PTS against Maidana this weekend at EVS. Think stylistically Alexander is a nightmare for Maidana and with the fight being in St. Louis no way Maidana comes anywhere close on the scorecards.

 

For any big stakers hills are offering 1/7 that haye/chis happens in 2012. Dead Cert?

 

I went onto Paddy Power 2 weeks ago to bet on Vitali beating Chisora on points, and i ended up betting on Wlad beating Mormeck on points by accident . So basically, i'm hoping for a miracle that mormeck gets to the final bell...

 

Would not touch that but would happily back the 4/1 that it does not to be honest. Chisora has to get a 6 month ban minimum and Haye does not even have a licence yet so unless he has the sense to apply now for a licence, he will get the same ban and serve it on application, or at least thats the way I see it.
