    No not really, as I don't have the balls! :) Every now and then I'll whack something decent down, when I'm convinced (as I was with Calzaghe v Kessler). Tony has good odds, but he's facing a top notch fighter, albeit one he's already beaten. A case could be made for either Tarver or Woods, however I think Antonio is certainly on the slide.

    He was the underdog. I picked him on points. I'm really having a stab but it was around $2.50 from memory, when I got on. I think for points he was paying something ball park like $3.75.

    The Calz/Kessler fight was one I got totally wrong. I was pretty sure Kessler would win.

    I hadn't seen too much of Calzaghe before that fight though. Just his fight with Lacy, Bika, Mitchell, Ashira, and Salem. I never really took into consideration of his ability to change his game and be able to adapt to whats thrown at him.

    Yeah I just thought his workrate would be way too much. I've been a fan for a long time now.

    I'm more uncertain about his fight with Hopkins, who's a crafty *******. Again, workrate should be too much.

    I just rewatched the Kessler/Calzaghe fight yesterday for the first time. Kessler definitely tired somewhat down the stretch. Calzaghe's high workrate and stamina are superb. I think he'll stop Hopkins simply because of his workrate. I don't think Hopkins will be able to dictate the pace.

    i got calzage just before the fight at 2.25 (i think it was for points though as far as i can remember) because i think for a win he was favourite at 1.67 thats what i can recall, but i remember putting 400 on and getting an even 900 back.... and yelling once they said the result out in ritz i ****n told ya hell do it!! lol (bit of a dickhead moment but i was pumped)
    the most devastating thing for me was on the mayweather fight i put on a bigger bet some of money closer to a couple of grand in total, through 2 different sporting accounts and 1 bet at the tab on fight day, but had them all for win by decision as i thought no way in hell he was loosing but he didnt have the power to knock out hatton, owww how i paid a price for underestimating "money mayweather".....

    I suck balls at multis. I even narrowed it down to two legs but when you get a result in int'l football like Leichtenstein beating Poland, what can you do? Fuggsakes, can't remember L'stein ever scoring before!

    Did $200 on Marquez betting with some Filos at work. Kicked myself when I saw the odds on sportingbet. I still claim that as a "moral" victory. *******s made me pay up though.

    I took my 8yo twin daughters to the horses a few months ago, put some $10 win bets on for them. #1 gets a 19/1 shot first race, #2 gets an 8/1 second race. I had five bets all day and best result was a fighting sixth. My girls still give me **** about it.

    The worst part was I started with a $100 stake and through careful planning and research built it up to $700 over a few months, mainly on AFL and soccer. Then one drunken night got a little lacksadasial and blew the lot, but farkk, still hurting over that Poland result. Moral...don't bet drunk...
