This is possibly one of the best mug punter posts i've read. You won't put money on good odds because it normally fails and if you put money on the underdog it has to be because you think it will win not because of the odds. Basically saying you will back short priced odds even if it is too short because it has more chance of winning but you won't back an odds against shot even if it is far bigger than it should be because you don't have a feeling it will win. Ridiculous. So if someone sees a fight with 1/2 shot v a 11/8 in their head they shouldn't back the 11/8 shot at 15/8 because its good value odds just because it 'normally' fails. Also if a 2/1 underdog is 5/1 they shouldn't back it unless they 'really' think it will win.
I'm not tipping I'm telling you it's a guarentee, and when something is a guarentee, its really generous for the bookies to even be offering odds on a guarentee lol, thats why im advising all of you to put your life savings on Khan because you will make a decent profit, from a done deal outcome.
Just like Mayweather decision was a guarantee? Yet you still backed Mosley to cover your bet on this guaranteed outcome?
Don't think you can lump this fella in with the plum who started this thread, to be fair. If I review the losing bets I've ever made, they tend to follow a bit of a pattern - feel I'm on a roll and just want to keep going... easily done. On the odd occasion I've bet on horses I've nearly always lost because... I know **** all about horse racing. On occasion though - and this needs a bit of discilpline, obviously - I've rolled a modest amount around the £100 mark into £1000+ by sticking to gimmes in sports I'm familiar with, and not getting carried away. Easier said than done, but I take the lads point - you see some of the vcash balances knocking about on these forums and bet those *******s wished they'd backed their knowledge with hard currency.
It's called smart betting covering up your bet, because of the big odds for Mosley to win on points which was like 11/1 so i didn't mind staking a small amount on him to cover my main big bet,, but in my mind I had no doubt Mayweather would take him to school over 12 rounds.
You're headed for a fall, ****nut - the only guaranteed returns in betting come through arbs, and they are tedious as hell to hunt up.
Don't know if it's already been mentioned, but the only guarantee you're bringing to the table, is that you can't spell guaranteed.
if mayweather winning was a guarantee why did bet mosley at all why didnt you just put the money you had on mosley on top of ur mayweather bet and win more if its such a guarantee....underdogs are there to wreck the heads of gobshites like you i pray amir khan loses straight onto this thread with a grin
