    Im wondering how you guys might be approaching this , for the serious gamblerz only please. this is a pretty tightknit community- so i think its cool to share strategies. not like it ll skew bookies or anything.

    the way i see it, you can remove the outcome from your bets- ( floyd win or mosley win) and concetrate on the means ( either man by ko or decision). the reason being- lets face it- neither man has been ko's and neither man is likely to start tomorrow in what will be a chess match. Therefore you can safely assume it will be Mosley by decision - or Mayweather by decision.

    Mayweather by decision is paying .62. so if you put down 100 - you get 162 bucks.
    mosley is paying rougly 4.0 by decision. so if you put down 100 - you get back 400.

    thefore the way to go and make some money- is put 33% of your investment on mosley- and 67 pecent on mayweather. both by decision.

    im gonna hedge mine like this:

    therefore- no matter what you get paid. saying you bet 150 bucks.
    100 on may
    50 on mosley
    if money wins- you get 162 bucks- you spent 150. so its a 12 buck profit. not much BUT
    if mosley wins- you get 200 bucks- you spent 150- 50 buck profit.

    its a pretty conservative way to go- but i think its the way if you plan on spending alot of money. and dont like the idea of losing too much.
    either way you can make some moolah back. of course, if theres a ko, draw or disqualification you re ****ed. thats gamblin i guess- but i think im gonna take it this way- how are you guys gonna bet on it? any strategies?

    500 on Mayweather by decision to win 250 profit.

    I was gonna hedge my bet with a small Mosley by decision bet, but I'm just gonna take the gamble instead because I'm pretty confident in Mayweather winning by UD.

    I bet 50 on Mosley decision at +600. 10 on a draw at +2500.

    Most people are picking a Mayweather decision, but I think this is more of a toss-up fight. People are forgetting Mayweather only won a SD against an old De La Hoya three years ago. I think Mosley at 38 is still better than the DLH from that fight.

    The judging is going to come down to either aggression (Mosley) or accuracy (Mayweather). It's going to be a close fight either way, so I'm taking the 6-1 odds on Mosley. My two cents...

    Tiger Woods just mysteriously missed a PGA cut which like never happens. I predict he'll be at the fight and I'm betting he'll leave before the end of the 7th round to go get some action from whatever bimbo just caught his eye.

    Not a real life gambler.

    All my Vcash on Mayweather to win. (around 2,000 total vcash or so)

    Solid bet.

    I'd be pleasantly surprised if Shane wins, though.
