    To be fair I expect Selby to win... But neither have looked good for abit now... I'll take a chance on Ricky as the bigger guy and underdog

    It will probably be a real stinker won't it, you're right about them not looking that flash.

    Parlays are way too dangerous for large betting.

    I prefer one fight or maybe a second fight at most in a parlay.

    I made a good chunk this weekend but I wish I bet with confidence. A few hundred could have easily been a few thousand.

    I usually play 100 on a 3-5 parlay but I go for exact outcomes.

    The most I ever betted was £300 on

    Jacobs SD Devranchenkyo
    Heather Hardy
    Machado KO1
    Prograis KO 7-12 Flanagan

    I would have hit 13k. I played with the odds on Paddypower just to see what I would hit on Wilder/Fury weekend. I picked Hurd to KO4 Welborn and Wilder to end a draw - 220 to 1. Didn't put the bet down though. This year I haven't been really doing picks like that - I was in a predictions league on IG and was sitting around 1-10 out of 100 IG pages but mostly in the top 4 but with starting a new career and evening classes 2x a week it got too much so I pulled out halfway through.

    I did a max payroll bet on a UFC fight in the morning, won 1,600. Had I did a second max bet on Chisora by KO, I would have made about 2,700. Ended up only putting 250 on the under of 5.5.

    Kicked myself all night after that.

    I can't believe the odds on Kovalev for his fight with Canelo they are imo insane.

    Potentially a few half decent underdog bets tonight..

    I've gone 15 quid on kovalev ko.... Won't win but... Longtime fan of kovalev and he will have it all stacked against him anyway.. This is only way he will get given the win

    I've heard duno could give garcia an absolute kicking... Anyone seen more of him?

    I fancy Andy Ruiz who is still 3.6. Fantastic value after his last outing.

    Ryder at 14, while I don't think he will win he is better than the odds suggest.

    Ortiz at 6. Surely will get ice'd but came close to knocking Wilder out the first time. Possible cash out potential if he's winning rounds early on.

    Donnaire at 9.5. He can knock anyone out with his counter left if it lands flush.

    Have the Vegas casinos got odds yet?

    Could easily see them having Ruiz closer to 5/4

    UK betting odds will have AJ as short because almost all the money will be going on him

    US betting odds will have Ruiz short or the same as AJ, because alot of people will be betting on Ruiz.

    Odds in this case are about protecting potential losses, based on geographical betting preferences.

    It is a difficult one to call given the first fight. But as a neutral observer I favour AJ to win a decision in the rematch. But often rematches result in the same result as the first fight.

    I doubt Ruiz makes the mistake of coming in very light in the rematch- I think this is some form of psychology he is looking to play on AJ.
