British Forum BETTING thread

after a terrible weekend with only 3 of 12 bets coming in im still up £50 but thats thanks to sergio i put £40 on him in total

 

Does anybody think Ajax could be a canny bet at home vs Real Madrid? 9/4. Real Madrid have already qualified and have the Barcelona game coming up, so they're likely to rest players. Ajax need a win to keep hopes of qualifying alive.

 

at that price yes its always worth a cheeky fiver but i would worry that this is a mouriniho team he wont let them slack off and he will have all the sqad well drilled

 

i think Ajax is durable enough to pull out a draw but i don't think they will beat Madrid. but who knows, id stay away from it tho.

 

Marquez v Katsidis - Im thinking this will be UD to marquez and will have £100 on this. So far the bookies havent given the odds on exact method of victory, win by decision/technical is 11/4. Good bet?

 

I fancy kats in this. JMM is one of my favourite fighters but I think this is a dangerous fight for him. He slowed towards the end of his last fight and he will in this with kats constantly pressuring him. 5/2 is very good value in my opinion and well worth a tenner.

 

dont do many horses, but this is from a decent source, kawa 3.55 e/w

 

Do we agree with this on ESB? These are the odds on a comparison site showing the best odds out there.

James DeGale (2/7) Paul Smith (7/2) Draw (33)

I'm surprised DeGale is that favoured - it's a massive jump in class. Might stick some money on Smith, expecting to lose it, but will make a tidy sum if he wins!

 

I wonder what round Chunky is betting on for the stoppage...

 

smith hasnt looked good in past fights. he is solid durable and knows his trade but against cheka a guy imported to look good against made him wild and off balance. also other fights he gets 2-d very quickly. and even though has accuracy and precision he gets to scrappy and loose.


i think logically degale is the sort of fighter he shouldnt be able to beat. it is a baby step up in class for degale but he looks solid doing it, smith seems to struggle a bit to much for my liking. he has earned it the tough way and good on him but...nah i think they are on the same wavelength.

if anything it's stamina that smith can take advantage in.

 

you mean his family

Yes, that's what I meant as it is against the rules for a boxer to bet on himself.

 

End of the day Frank Warren wouldn't put Degale in a fight he thought he was going to lose, especially at this stage of his career. That reality justifies those odds, imo.

 

Lots of people are gonna lose money. Degale is doing a Harrison, y'all mother****ers are believing the hype!!
