    Just opened a BF account. £20 on Haye at 20/21 with my bet back if it loses.

    Site is going ****ing mad. So slow with all the activity.

    Bremen is kinda risky cause they are coming off a Europa Leuage win but Dortmund arent that appealing in thier last games. Plus Frings is out too for Bremen...

    I only betted on Bremen in the Europa Leauge over Austria Wien, and well they won 2-0 in a pretty decent performance. This game imo is kinda like a 65-35 for Bremen.

    I've just opened a Betfair account today. If you place a bet up to £25 they refund your money if it loses. Only applicable to your first laid and returned bet.

    If the bet wins you get nothing from them but it's a nice way to remove some risk from a bet you're not sure of.

    Cheers mate just signed up and put 20 on valuev to cover 45 in bets on haye. Really need a haye decision haha. But, with all the odds suddenly changing and don king and the germans involved I am nervous now.

    :lol:

    Not a good place to be . . .needing a decision for Haye in Germany!

    The odds have gone mad in the last couple of hours. They seem to be moving just above and just below evens for Haye every 5 minutes now.

    Good luck mate

    I've just got £1 on each of Valuev between rounds 7-9 and 10-12, thats his most likely time for a stoppage IMO.

    I was gonna bet Valuev a week or so ago but I waited too long, not worth it now.

    I doubt the fight would be slowing BF down.

    You can get some good introductory free bets out there though. Good luck.

    Almost £1.4M bet on BF in total. Is that a lot for a fight?

    What's happened to the betting on Haye, Valuev.

    I'm sure Haye was clear favourite a while ago.

    The money must be coming in bigtime for the beast from the east.

    I'm not sure, I think I've seen football games in the millions.

    Unless it's like a megafight Pac v Hatton etc, boxing doesn't normally seem to attract a huge amount of betting from the public.

    I think 1.4m is a fair wack... quite a lot.
