    What are y'all betting strategies for Wladimir Klitschko/Ruslan Chagaev?

    I'm thinking a small bet on Chagaev is too good to miss, purely on value. 5/1 as if he's some type of Rahman. Come on.

    Also I'll take the over.

    Dodgy bet mate. I was thinking Wald to win on cuts which could result in mass spreading of hepatitis B :lol:

    Probably, I realise Wlad is a favourite and the odds are in his favour, I just don't see a 5/1 underdog. Wlad is never comfortable in the ring against a southpaw, and Chagaev is a pretty good 'un.

    Cuts could actually be a problem looking at Chagaev's last fight, but that was a headbutt I think. Wlad does not like the inside stuff so I'd think the chances are smaller from the gloves, and I believe Chagaev is slippery enough and Wlad will be cautious enough for the fight to go 12.

    Over 9.5 is 4/5 best

    Quite disapointing many of the markets havn't been priced up by the majority of UK bookmakers

    28/5 for Chagaev on Betfair!

    Put £25 on Chagaev at 6/1 last night.

    It was the free bet you get for signing up to the site, so I get it refunded if Wladimir does the business like I think he will.

    Didn't want to pass up on those odds.

    I think on boxing with Betfair you find the best odds for points wins on the round betting section, on a few occasions I have had a bet to nothing with real good odds on the underdog - lost most times but only £2 each time.

    The one I am most pissed with missing is Holland to beat England in the T20, I had a wee hunch on that.

    I laid £20 on Leeds to not win the Super League at the start of the season, looks a fair cert now. Did anyone see the Lions game this morning?

    Five minutes longer and they'd have won!

    Holland! :rofl That was hilarious.

    Wimbledon:

    Federer at Evens

    Venus Williams at 4/1

    They are my tips.

    Outsiders: Del Potro 26/1, Wozniacki 25/1

    I'd go as far as to say Federer is a cert. Evens for him on grass, with the crowd behind him and Nadal out of the tournament is irresistable.

    I wouldn't say he's a cert. Except for the final he didn't quite look at his best at the French. Which is saying something considering he won it...but I still think he's lost something physically. It's probably only Murray to stop him though, Murray has a good record against him and is in good form. This is a great chance for Murray considering he won't have to meet him until the final.

    Del Potro my outsider because he's got a big serve and groundstokes, on grass he should be tough to handle.

    Serena is the womens favourite, but I take Venus. You can't back against Venus on grass IMO.

    Wozniacki outsider, shes a good all-round talent and should do well.



    Seems like Pakistan are cruising towards glory....who'd have thought it. Enigmatic.

    He has lost something physically yes, but Murray still loses to players that he shouldn't lose to, and still isn't all that on grass.

    I'd always take Venus on grass, not the greatest follower of women's tennis.

    Pakistan seem to be on their merry way, but they are always a car crash waiting to happen. The commentators have been maling a big deal about Afridi's supposed improved form, but if you actually take a ball or two to see what the wicket offers and the bowlers on display you will do better :lol:

    70 at just over a run a ball with plenty of wickets in the shed.

    Even they can't **** this one up.

    Saying that...they just slogged Murali up the air after handling Mendis so well.

    Oh they can!

    Younis Khan isn't a mssive hitter, Misbah is overrated, ditto Razzaq....

    I think they will get there, might have a little stab on some inplay betting.

    Pakistan are only 2/5 in this position. Any other team would be 1/5. :lol:
