    That is great and I just check it's only about an 8 hour flight, I us to fly to las Vages in the week ends and that was abour a 4 1/2 hour flight but they only take the big US title fights anymore so now I have been using
    A,A+ Rated on line sports book and those are few and far between.

    Most betting shops can get any fight you want. The online site I use, Bet365, has the Clottey fight available and considering he's 1/100, it's quite impressive that they have those types of fights. They occasionally have womens bouts too.

    I'm sure each company is different but it's higher than that. I believe you can put up to £1m on with Ladbrokes, which is about $1.6m.

    I doubt you could do that online though but I'm sure it could be arranged inside a bookmakers.

    Sounds good, man. How much are you up/down overall? I worked out a while ago that I won something like 24 bets in a row. My vCash on here went up to 30,000 or something and that was all based off real odds.

    ...sadly, my gambling with real money is not as successful :lol:

    For the year well over $400000 I do it for a living I use to own 2 large car dealerships and I sold them 3 years ago and now I only bet on boxing thats it, about 20 years ago
    I bought my 1st car dealership with the money I made from betting boxing.

    you could get that on at betfair.com or betdaq.com - they are the exchanges. the bookmakers ban you if you win. they would probably take 50,000 on a big fight like mayweather vs pac but rarely would they take it on smaller fights. and if you won they probably would ban you.

    as for betfair.com - you could get a lot of money on. 10 million was matched on ricky hatton vs floyd mayweather. but if you are a winner, betfair take 60% of your winnings which is shocking

    its called the premium charge

    if you are in profit at all and have bet on more than 250 markets, any more profit you make will get taxed at 20% by betfair

    if you are in profit over 250,000 pounds, any more profit will be taxed at 60%

    shocking stuff by betfair. they brought the 60% tax in a few months ago
