I forgot to add: "0"...

 

...and...I forgot to add..."none of your business!"

 

I am going to put:

£7 on the draw. (backup) - I have a bit of a bad feeling about this
£30 on JC to win (backup)...just in case...
£70 on JC by UD..."chi-ching"

if Kessler beats Joe...I will celebrate with the rest of them...he would have beaten the best SMW of his generation, not far off his peak*

* Joe never had a peak as such, as sean puts it...because he never had the big fights...Joe is not too old...:nono ...he is 35, but Joe will be in the shape of his life against Kessler...no doubt about it.:good

 

hmmm...expected return and all that...you lose a lot of money trying to maximise profits this way because you always bet on the underdog, just because the odds are too high...so you make some good money from time to time, and lose 90& of the time...overall you probably lose money.

 

Reason I am putting so much money on this fight is because I have thought so much about it, know much about all the ins and outs and is a massive fight...normally I would never bet anything close to as much money as this.

 

(It's important to follow some rules if you decide to start betting real money...

You should only start betting once you know what you're doing...(once you consistently pick them right) Keep betting vcash as if it was real cash...(i.e. as if it was your wages you were betting...only start betting real money once you win consistently)

You should never bet more than a couple of cents/ dollars at the beginning and never start off with more than 20-40 dollars in your betting account.

You should never add more money to your betting account after you put in the initial stake. Never ever. You only bet from betting profits, not from your wages.

You should pay off your initial stake as soon as you double it. Thus, you end up betting only with betting profits - if you lose it all: no problem.

You should never add more money to your betting account. If you lose all your profits, that is it...stop betting forever...you don't know what you are doing. This is the most important rule.

You should never bet more than a third of your total account on any one fight/in any one session.

You should never chase your losses. Nor should you change your betting strategy after a loss, taking bigger and bigger risks to make up the money. It is stupid. You will just lose more money.

If you follow these rules, and you only bet with your head, dispassionately, without getting a thrill out of it and only to make money...you should be fine! If you start getting hooked on betting, even if you keep winning, take your wins and stop betting altogether. You don't want to become an addict and ruin your life.) :good


IF YOU START BREAKING ANY OF THESE RULES, EVEN ONCE, THIS IS A VERY CLEAR INDICATION THAT YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING OR THAT YOU ARE STARTING TO BECOME AN ADDICT AND IT'S TIME TO STOP. TAKE YOUR WINNINGS AND QUIT WHILE YOU ARE AHEAD, BEFORE RUINING YOUR LIFE!

 

Britain...there was a prgramme recently on TV about a guy from Britain who lost everything - everything you care to think of - within a couple of months of starting to bet/play poked online...now he is like a heroin addict. His life is destroyed for ever. He is 40...it is a very slippery slope and it ruins many lives...just like drugs does

 

I scored "0" in the addictiveness test. If you score more than 0%, DON'T even consider starting to bet!
