    Somehow I had 10.73 in my sportsbook account and said what the hell. I'll place a 4 boxer parlay and if I win all of em cash in a little bit. So I looked thru and I picked these fights and the name on the right is who i picked and the line.

    Light welterweight Fight
    United Kingdom
    Andreas Kotelnik
    Gavin Rees 03/22/08(15:00 ET) Gavin Rees +125

    Light Heavyweight Fight
    Tampa FL
    Chad Dawson
    Glen Johnson 04/12/08(23:00 ET) Chad Dawson -275

    Welterweight Fight
    Atlantic City NJ
    Antonio Margarito
    Kermit Cintron 04/12/08(23:00 ET) Antonio Margarito -295

    Light Heavyweight Fight
    USA
    Bernard Hopkins
    Joe Calzaghe 04/19/08(23:45 ET) Bernard Hopkins +190
    So I bet 10.73 to win 117.11 which aint too bad. Let me know what you think of the picks.

    btw this parlay looking pretty sure.

    Rees is underdog against wahed up kotelnik at home, he is hell of a fighter. Small but with a big heart. British judges once robbed Kotelnik already, I cant see winning a decision in this bout.

    Horrible odds. Only 117 off 10 is horrible, even on the Hopkins bet alone.

    well considering i can 10X my money and my biggest underdog is Hopkins I think isn't that bad. I think Hopkins can win, even though Calzaghe is the favorite. If I picked all favorites I'd be lucky to win half that and sorry Euros, I'm not betting against Hopkins.

    If I was doing a parlay with only $10 left in my account and looking to get it up to $100 I would do this parlay:

    Casamayor
    Spinks
    Cotto
    Woods
    Dawson
    Calzaghe

    It has much better odds of coming through than your current one. Yes Casa is a bit of a gamble, but Katsidis is a very limited fighter and if he can pull the upset this parlay is damn near guarenteed imo

    i was going to do cotto and spinks but spinks i think was -600 and cotto was like -800 so it wouldnt have raised it that much considering theyre huge favorites. I was thinkin about Woods as well but I don't know too much about him. And the reason I picked Hopkins is because I wanted some underdogs on the list to bump the price up and I think he's got a shot. I did this bet in about 2 minutes just picked who i saw and sent it thru.

    And on another note you might as well add guys in that you think are guarenteed wins. I add Cotto to ALL of my parlays simply because his chance of winning is 99.99%, so why not?

    Hopkins has less than a 10% of winning. Way, way less.

    I suggest you wait till fighttime comes close on both Margarito and Hopkins cause you'll be getting better odds

    my online bookie has it at +225 currently
