When betting money on boxing how many of us bet with our heart or mind For example all the De Hoya fans betting on Oscar knowing that he was going to lose th Mayweather.
I don't bet on any fights that I have a personal stake in. Using Hoya-Mayweather as an example, I wanted both guys to knock each other out at the same time :think so I didn't bet because I didn't feel neutral towards either of them. I find that if I like a certain fighter a lot more than another I lose bets. Case-and-point, Bautista vs Ponce De Leon. I liked the kid, never paid much mind to De Leon, but I was excited about Rey. Because I liked him, I wanted him to win. And in the process neglected to take into consideration key factors in the fight. Served me right :good.
Aside from the amateur loss, there was nothing at the time to have indicated that wasn't a sound bet.
