    9.40 for that thats bull****.

    Mate save your money.
    Lopez and Pacman are good value but the other fights.

    I hate to say are close fights.
    Williams could beat Martinez
    Froch could beat AA
    Katsidis could win if JMM shows his age.
    B-Hop could upset again he has done it before
    And Khan although i will be picking him could end with one solid shot on his chin.

    If the parley or Multi bet was around $25 to $30 thats a good Multi but at $9.50 thats **** all.

    Gambling is supposed to be fun. Don't take it too seriously. If you're going to bet a few bucks, do whatever you want with it. That doesn't mean you bet blindly but don't go into a bet thinking that you are out to make money. Go with you gut. When i do that, i usually end up winning. When i end up analyzing too much in an attempt to win money, i usually end up losing.

    Exactly, my brother used to do them. They're that "get-rich" (In mentality) exhilarating wins type if you happen to get lucky enough to hit 6 or 7 bets in a row.

    I also think Hopkins has a great chance against Pascal and has real favorable odds, even though Hopkins age/stamina are starting to fade or show. Still, I like the style matchup. Pascal looked good against Dawson, but I thought Chad looked pretty damn ordinary that night.

    I think Johnson is like a 3/2 favorite against Green. Green is unproven and Johnson is the old rugged warrior having to strain to make a weight he hasn't made in 10 years. That's one to probably stay away from. I wonder what the over/under is... maybe the over has promise.

    50$ on Froch at evens
    40$ on Green at 11/8

    Alright so this is what im thinking on doing this weekend. Im gonna try this parlay thing out. I am trying to decide on 2 options.

    Option 1
    johnson
    jml
    guerrero
    matthysse
    1 pays 7.13

    Option 2
    johnson
    rafa
    guerrero
    matthysse
    1 pays 20.75

    Which one would you guys go with?
    Im thinking more towards the first one. I have a feeling Rafa will need a KO and he will not be getting a decision unless its very lopsided which i highly doubt.
    Im probably only putting $50 tops on this.

    You really think Green can hang with Johnson?? I see him going in a shell after Johnson relentlessly works him down. The damn weight is bothering me though. Johnson is old and dropping weight is never great.

    Green is such a punk i just dont ever see him beating a top contender.

    But Green? I dont know i think maybe im letting my personal feeling toward him sway me. That guy just finds a way to lose it seems. Or actually he finds a way to not win.
    I never understood his hype. Im thinking Johnson will beat him still. Although Johnson did get stunned against Cloud last time out. I dont think Green can replicate that work rate though.

    What SB do you use?

    You'll cover on Wlad. Think Froch's going to lose. Green is really a tossup fight. If he wants it he can get it, I don't feel like either guy is a deserving favorite.

    If I were a betting man which I'm not I would take Hopkins over Pascal because if the old man has one more left in him - this is it. if Hopkins wins the payoff will be huge.
