Maidana vs Alexander Maidana KO £10 BET Maidana DEC £10 (free) Alexander DEC £10 BET total bet: £20 (£10 free bet) Maidana KO win = £40 win Maidana DEC win = £55 win Alexander DEC = £ 27.50 win So... max loss: 0 (No way will alexander win by TKO or KO considering) Min win: £7.50 med win: £20 (40-30) Max win: £35 (55-30) correct? First time betting also. Don't beat me for possibly not understanding everything correctly. Bets also havn't been placed yet. So if I make this bet it is legal and all fine? because ALEXANDER WILL NOT WIN BY KO/TKO, making NO LOSSES.???
Considering you are betting on the method of victory you would lose on a draw and Alexander stoppage (cut,TKO,KO or DQ)
Maidana TKO or Alexander Decision. Alexander WILL NOT lose a decision in St. Louis. He's Sturm and St. Louis is Germany basically.
No I thought this BUT Alexander will not get a stoppage, no chance. Since only £20 has been spent and you win £27.50 on Alexander decision then its still a £7.50 win... right? Total bet £20, with a free £10 bet...
I'm not so sure anymore. Before, those were Don King shows, now it's a Golden Boy show. Maidana probably has more marketability than Alexander, so there's not much incentive for them to skew things in favor of Alexander.
First off the payout on the most likely outcome per the sportsbooks does not make sense (Alexander DEC). Pay on the favorite would not be 27 pounds on a 10 pound wager by any measure that I can think of (unless in the UK Maidana is the favorite?) Also, I don't understand your Med/Max wins - where are you getting this from. You have 3 specific outcomes you are betting on. Only one (or none) of them can actually happen and pay you.
The only way those Min/Med/Max payouts would make sense is if you weighted the bets i.e. 100 pounds on the most likely odds, 25 pounds on the least likely odds, etc. or if you were betting Favorite Fighter A by KO (moderate bet), Favorite Fighter A to win by any means (heavy bet), Underdog Fighter B to pull off the upset (light/medium bet with big upside minimized by any risk since you've got bets on the favorite).
KMstar your right... Alexander DEC £10 bet is only £18 win not £27.50. Sorry I messed up the math.... Ive been putting together lots of combinations of bets trying to work out best return for minimum loss. ...
I really like this fight because it really can go any way. I would not rule out Alexander stopping Maidana. He can be sneaky and Maidana does have a habit of neglecting defense at times.
alexander fights like hes in the olympics still.no power and all arm punchs.madiana gonna cave him in just like tim did.
