British Forum BETTING thread

i used this move in the betting on the abrahams fight as an example in answer to the original question of what firms to bet boxing with and highlighed to the original poster to get in quick when firms price up , i have never stated i fancy abraham imo he is good value at 9-2 but as a wise man once said you cant eat value amd i can see abraham coasting to a 7-8 round points victory

 

I'm confused by the love for Abraham here, he's not the beast he was at 160.

He's a very slow starter and could find himself a few rounds down early on.

 

Got a Lucky 15 EW on today that returns around £6,000.

2:00 Le Toreador
3:05 Noble Mission
4:15 Never Can Tell
4:50 Hajiras

 

This is true, but he isn't in with with a Ward or Froch this time round. Stielgitz is pretty average and although I wouldn't fancy taking 2/5 on Abraham to win, bearing in mind Stieglitz isn't the most durable or defensively sound the price on the stoppage seems big.

 

you reckon golovkin will get the ko ?

 

Martinez 11/4 to knock out Chavez. Definitely worth a few ****in quid.

 

He did 10 with ouma though but at the same time he has ko'd his last ten opponents so im not sure. its 3/1 for sturm dec & golovkin by ko and evens for both to just win, im positive about the sturm result but im hesitant about pulling the trigger on that golovkin ko

need more time to think it over

 

Sole Power in the 3.40 at York today.

Currently 6/1. Decent e/w bet.

 

Football bets everyone? I'm pondering going for -

Wolves
Carlisle
Manchester United
Juventus
Southampton
Over 1.5 goals in Liverpool v Manchester City

16/1

 

nevermind.

 

Abraham in rounds 8-12 or points at 4/6 is the safest bet but just put loads on, once it goes past 8 you've basically won, as long as Stieglitz aint somehow winnin, might for the ko tho dont wanna put loads on

 

I think Chavez can get a decision over Martinez personally.

The judges will be pre-disposed to favour him, I think Serge is starting this fight needing a stoppage to win.

I don't think the gulf in class is as big as many like to think. Martinez for me has slipped a little bit, and will need to get off to a really good start in this one.

The bet for me is Chavez on points, either legitimate or not.

Other bets....

Leeds to beat Peterborough
Leeds to beat Warrington in the cup final (5/2) :yikes
Yorkshire to win the T20

 

I can see where your coming from on the chavez/martinez fight and really wouldnt be all that suprised if it worked out that way.

But i think ppl are overrating chavez and underrating sergio abit. to me both are the same fighters they were a year ago, as i think chavez would've beat lee and rubio the same way then as he did now and sergio looked like he struggled with both macklin and barker but that was because A they are intelligent boxers ( chavez isnt ) who applied intelligent pressure making sergio come to them ( chavez wont) and B because martinez seems to fight poor in the bouts he's supposed to win but shines in the big fights

So i see this one going the same way as martinez/pavlik. Im going big on sergio by dec @ 6/5
