British Forum BETTING thread

Anyone else pick up on the Enzo ko? I had Enzo win, then pts an ko to cover myself and ended up with a tenner profit.

 

Good call, hope you made the play. I think the chin vs power dynamic is overrated when we try to predict if there will be a knockout or not. If one fighter is simply much better he almost always has a chance of getting a knockout.

 

Yes it is hard to predict, so much involved, like we need to do research the chins? The power? Who got koed by that power? Who is the ref? How fit the boxers? the **** list goes on and on, and we need to watch as many fights as possible.
Ladbrokes another **** bookie I only made £400 next day received my restriction email, what the F***k, I rang them called they traders’ clowns, unprofessional ****s, etc.

 

probably a fairly obvious answer to this, but none of the sites I've checked are letting me put on for anything other than a win either way or a draw? there's no round betting or an option to bet on a knockout, anybody know why this is?

 

i guerss everyone agrees that regardless of who wins it's going to be via ko

 

They will put all the odds up closer to the fight or after the weigh in

 

Just seems strange as they've got a full list of odds for floyd Canelo the same night and fights way beyond that.

 

Because Floyd vs Canelo is such a big fight theyd put them up early
Most fights they put up the method of victory after the weigh ins

 

They will closer to the fight, some bookies like 365 or Bwin do it a bit earlier as well.

 

is the trout lara fight happening - its priced up on a few sites but nothing on boxrec

 

The last I checked they had Matthysse the favorite, but I can't find anything now..........................what's going on?

 

Not happening on Mayweather bill it never was to be fair, someone said it might and everyone thought it was, later in the year perhaps, third big fight on the bill is Smith/Molina with Theophane/Cano as the fourth decent fight

 

I know canelo and money may is a blockbuster fight
but Garcia and Matthysse is no small thing. This is the biggest fight in the division aswell.

 

this, happens with nearly all fights

 

I just want to add that it's pathetic that many British bookies only offer 3-way betting for boxing. This isn't football where we'd be betting against a potential draw. Method of victory betting would include a draw so a draw would be a loss. But if you bet on a boxer to win straight you should not have to risk a loss if the fight is a draw, and the bet should always be void. This is the main reason why bet365 is the best British book for boxing.
