    And what are the biggest fights you won money off a solid dog?

    I think my best underdog performances were Mosely vs Margarito and Nate Campbell vs Baby Bull Diaz, but they were small bets because I was poor at the time.

    The only boxing bet I made was Paulie to beat Broner by decision

    +1000 odds I think

    Broner was a hypejob, even against 40 year old Paulie.

    Lost but felt it was worth it.

    £15 whole British pounds I believe

    Boxing is too corrupt to bet on.

    I've won a few. The annoying one I missed was the 33/1 African to KO Sam face first eggington.

    Glowacki to KO Huck was a good one and got the three round bracket right aswell.

    I have never gambled in my life and know that I never will. With or without religion, I'm just not inclined to it.

    Sometimes I do feel I can predict a winning bet. Sometimes that's right, but not always.

    Angelo Leo Vs Stephen Fulton Jr. I was certain that Leo would get another gift but it was Fulton Jr. who rightfully got the decision.

    Won a tidy sum on Chisora beating Price
    Getting the round right bumped it up big time

    I've bet on a few underdogs

    I go through the occasional phase of placing bets.

    The problem is when you do it in person with friends it adds this weird financial/competitive aspect that I think can erode the relationship, meanwhile setting it up online feels like an enormous hassle.

    I did take take down a handful on pennies on the Fox prediction app from the last couple fights they had on it. The people on that app seriously DKSAB.

    I've only bet small amounts so far but I'm tempted to up it now for the right fights.

    Only recently joined a will hill app, specifically to bet on Joyce beating Dubois and earned £90.

    The other under dog bet didnt go to well lost 20 quid Smith to beat Canelo (I knew it was a long shot).

    Apart that I bet my boss (typical casual fan) £20 quid that Groves would beat Eubank JR. My boss wanted to bet £100 originally, had we bet the day prior I would of took him up on £100 but for my foolishness I watched the Froch interview the night before who was adamant that Eubank JR would win as he sparked Groves out and sparred JR and hit with his best shot and said JR didnt even blink, which made me less confident with my prediction than it should of.

    Only once bet on a favourite which was AJ to drop Pulev in the first 3 rounds and got about £40.

    If someone is able to analyse resume really in depth better than casaul posts level in forums.
    Fe the underdog in Bolotņiks in MTK tournament.
    On numbers his resume looked yourneyman's resume but in depth this was the best resume in this tournament in LHW.
    The best in real regardless of usually comfortable sanbagged prospects records and forums comments. Best resume in depth in LHW tournament.
    Ok, there I really do know a bit better than ppl not had sparred very hard with his opponent etc alike.



    Glowacki ofc always might be very dangerous till last second and he hits really very hard for his size too. Not ideal fighter but he was true top level ...... and not too old.

    I would have put money on Sanders when he went against Klitschko.

    Depends from age and shape and who from Klitsckos there. Ofc also Sanders age and shape.
    CW Briedis is in real terrible opponent for clinch, not alone to talk about youger than 38 y.o Wlad's versions.

    Most I've ever thrown on an underdog was £100

    Most I've won on a single underdog bet was ioka to ko Tanaka 7-12.. won £185..I only put a small bet on and lumped most £50 on ioka 7-2 with higa 1-4...the returns on that woulda been over a grand

    Most I've won on an accy with an underdog in was Donaire to ko Burnett.... Had it with 4 other fights and won £800

    Can't remember who else was in this one but I cleared £300 on SSR to ko Gonzalez.... ****in 10/1 ..unreal...had that in a treble but can't remember the other fights.
