    If Khan was guaranteed to win, then bookies would simply not take any bets on him.

    In fact why even make the fight at all? If a Khan is "guaranteed" to win, then surely we should simply add the win to his record and dispense with the formalities of actually fighting.

    If you're guaranteeing Khan will win, then I presume you will be betting every last penny you own on it?

    That's a fair enough bet.

    I've got a sneaky feeling that Paulie will pull off an upset (if it is that).

    I certainly wouldn't touch Khan on a win only or to win by stoppage.

    The odds on Amir are so poor it's not worth betting on. The thrill of betting comes from the high odds, not picking up20 quid on a £1,000 bet

    You're a bit of a plonker betting on Betfair though, 5% of that is gone if you win. You should have got the 1/4 on Khan at a regular bookmaker from the start if you were this confident.

    I'd never bet more than £20 at 1.2 on a fighter with a chin like Khan's.:bart

    You're mad. Yeah its hugely likely to come in, but betting on someone who cant take a punch and probably wont be favoured by the judges at 1/5 is insane.

    It's 2.5 or 5% commission from the winnings, can't remember. They wouldn't make any money otherwise would they :yep

    have to respect the bottle, I'd never bet money like that but hopefully that isn't all your savings??? hope you win. if you lose just don't waste your time chasing that money.
