Really tough to have a +1602 pick blow up in your face dude.
Last night Cruz -2000 and Eyubov -10000 **** the bed and generally this year has been very good with dogs in boxing.

Not big on Mendoza by any means, but I can't see how he could blow up in our faces. Looks like he should be +400 or less there, not +1600.

 

You're right, a longshot can't really blow up in your face. If Mendoa is +2000, you only need to win 5% of the time. But I don't see him winning this fight any better than that. He should be this big of a dog. Go watch his fights and look at his record. Mendoza is 1-9 in his last ten fights and the win came against a 4-5 fighter. He is slow and his technique is sloppy as hell. I watched his opponent; he's looks to be competent and that's all you need to beat Mendoza.

But hey, I hope for all you guys who bet him he wins and I'm completely wrong. But I can't back Mendoza, even at these odds.

 

The line movement on Iwasa/Juarez was very telling. From something like a +550 dog to a +175 dog come fight night. I've seen fights even up more but I think it's telling in regards to Iwasa's frailty and general vulnerability.

 

Very true. I'm going to throw some down on Juarez at +480 by KO. If he doesn't stop Iwasa, I don't think he is beating him by decision.

 

Yeah, my feeling on this fight as well.

I'm really glad this thread has taken off. I was a fairly big time gambler several years ago and would have loved something like this back then. I tried multiple times to start a betting thread but they were always mysteriously deleted...

 

I wonder the same thing if they are cool with all the gambling talk. I am a hardcore fan of boxing but I love to find value on fighters.

 

I feel accomplished as **** when I make a good pick, stick to my guns and make some money out of it. It's the same thing as intelligently investing in anything, really.

 

I have the odd bet on boxing but nothing to write home about, last big win was chucking £50 on draw between fury wilder at 25's.

But this is a great read and I take my hat off to some of you for using your knowledge to make money. Keep it going gents

 

I think it should be fine, as long as we don't take it out of this thread.

This thread is slowly becoming one of my favs lol

 

set up on red zone sports. Only starting with £10 which is low but don’t want to gamble too much to begin with, getting used to the way the odds are as Im used to odds being like 2/1 whereas now it’s 2.00 or summat

 

Are the other fights coming up right now?

 

Overall +5.66u but damn it feels like a loss.

Both Eyubov and Kevin Cruz go to distance as -10000 and -2000 favs and draw against two journeymen.
Licona gets KOed in r12 after dominating the fight as some said.
Juarez losses a twisty technical decision after everyone on twitter had him dominating.
Molina gets shameful scorecards in a fight where 96-94 Fig was the most extreme case in my opinion.

The only bad play felt to be Hernandez. Eh, we go ahead.

 

Licona let me down for a profit.

 

2.2u Omar Douglas DNB +850
Selby going up two weight classes is mad. He wasn't a huge 126er, he probably walks around 135. Now he fights at 135? Makes zero sense. Douglas will be at least 5 pounds heavier and he hits hard. His best shot is the left hook that Selby ate from Warrington and got hurt a few times. Also the only shot that put him down in his career, from Hunter, a way lesser puncher than Douglas.
Selby's brother Andrew has been chinned several times and I think this runs in the family. Maybe that's why he has literally fought no one with power yet?
I think in a non-UK venue Douglas should be evens, even wtih the judging aspect I'm willing to bet my chances.


2.5u Ricky Summers DNB +124 - price still drifting, may have missed this one.
Summers fought way better opposition and gave Buglioni a tough fight, while Sterling almost lost to Adam Jones and fought no-ones.
I think Summers should be a small fav here.
