British Forum BETTING thread

i was replying to someone saying chisora was 16/1 etc ,saying it was a huge price ....

anyway come on you pro big gamblers that only ever tell you when they win once in a blue moon,what is YOUR bet?

 

I'm not a pro and I don't bet on boxing either; I stick to tennis and NFL.

I was merely explaining what my view is on it. If the guy who said, "it's a huge price" is saying it because he feels it is massively overpriced, then it's a perfectly fine statement to make and I'm not sure what your issue is with it?

 

Chisora by KO. No need to thank me.

 

so you gimme a load of abuse then tell me you dont bet on boxing!!!atsch

get off this thread then you plank and stick to tennis ffs:nut

 

heiland was 6/1 to beat macklin, i picked him to win by stoppage in the last 3 but couldn't get the bet on. i ain't pro, just the occaaional small fun bet when the bookies have dropped a clanger. it happens.

 

No offence, but if you cannot understand what I am saying you are better off keeping your money in your pocket.

Buy yourself a few beers and have a good evening rather than giving it to a bookies.

 

yes every man and his dog was going to bet against Macklin AFTER he got smashed

 

i understand perfectly that you dont bet on boxing yet you are dishing out boxing betting advice

 

You are a simpleton. My "advice" as you like to call it, is relevant to betting as a whole. Ask anyone with a brain and they'll agree with me.

 

Probably the most sensible betting post on here iv ever read.

Its all about value regardless of the prices if something is 1/10 and you make it 1/16 then the tens on shot is value.Its the disparity in what price you make something over what price is available that determines whether you will make money over time not one even money shot where you chuck your whole bank on one selection.

For me bjs is value iv taken 4/5 and make him 4/9 a big disparity so a big bet.If he loses that does not mean im wrong just wrong on this occassion,i would still expect to make money betting boxing over the year.

On most occasions would expect to be beating the market in terms of price taking however in this case because of the hype and public interest around eubank the price is getting bigger on bjs and i will probably top up on bjs.In big fights this can happen a notable case in point ricky hattons price v floyd mayweather where ricky got support and the smart poeple just mopped up flyod at around 8/13 mark if remember correctly.

 

what an odd response. pretend i'm lying all you like, it makes no odds (pardon pun!) to me, but even if i am it's an example of the bookies being miles off. enjoy your evening, i'm about to watch an african dance band.

 

what's the odds?

 

Exactly. If over the long term you don't make money you can potentially chalk it down to variance or it could simply be the case that you're not good at spotting value and pricing up odds; only time will allow you to judge how good you are.

A proper gambler judges in the long term, a mug punter is all about the "here and now" returns.

 

Double.

 

I think Skeete outright represents value @3/1 - he has a considerable reach advantage and he has started to show glimpses of power (to go along with a good point scoring game).
