    Throwing down bets that pay a fraction of your original wager will kill you in the long run.

    Bet on Floyd by decision. Easiest Money and a very good chance of winning.

    Guys if you're betting on Floyd, do it now when Floyd still at -400... I expect that after the weigh-in when people will see how big Floyd is compared to the small Marquez, Floyd's odds will go to -500 or -600 ...;)

    I hate PBF but i put down some money on him to win at -350. Also put down a little change at 6/1 odds for JMM to win via decision.

    No, they just think gambling can win.

    Most betters dont know what they are doing, they are so caught in the moment of, "wow, if i put this and this i will win this and this! Im defiantly doing that!"

    Umm.. no.. thats not how betting works.

    This is how the bookies make all thier money.

    Confidence is the most important part in betting. And not overconfidence either.

    With that said, this is a ugly fight to bet on....

    On one hand, you got the best fighter in the world, who is also the bigger man. But than again, why bet on this guy? 1000$ just to win 200$? Thats not really worth it cause Marquez isnt a scrub....hes in his full prime now.

    And then you got Marquez, hes one of the best fighters in the world today and has mad balls. "Lets bet on him! 100$ and ill win 300$!"

    This is a ugly fight to bet on and i wouldn't risk either 1000$ on Mayweather nor 100$ on Marquez.

    Your better off betting on Klitschko vs. scrub Areola, 1000$ and win 180$

    The difference is that this bet will not return anything- Marquez will lose. The people who are saying that this isn't a good fight to bet on are the most sensible. That said, I did put down some money on Floyd.

    im still undecided.


    betting on floyd is low risk/low reward

    but the idds of him knocking out marquez are paying good



    but marquez is a tuff dude. ima sleep on the thought

    Any betting will kill you in the long run. Just do the mathematics.

    However, I think the odds do tell you something about the fight. Because 50% of people think JMM will win doesn't make it happen. I think 80% of people WANT JMM to win. Some want it so much that they actually believe it is going to happen.

    Unfortuately, PBF is too big. He can go after JMM with the luxury that if he gets into trouble, he can go back to pot shotting to a SD. If he can hurt JMM it is all over.

    Bet on a mid round KO to PBF or a close decision to PBF.

    But I don't bet.

    I wouldn't be so sure about this. JMM might be the underdog but he got skills and with floyd being out for 2 years he might take a couple of rounds to get back into the groove. JMM could win the early rounds and who knows he might pull out an upset.
