    RJJ to bt tito
    Haye to bt enzo
    Calzaghe to bt hopkins
    Chagaev to bt Skelton
    Maskeav to bt Peter
    Pavlik to bt Taylor

    £100 acc. with Corals pay roughly £2000, I'm kinda unsure on the Maskeav fight but am fairly confident otherwise.
    If i ditch Oleg I'll only get £440 for my troubles so I'm considering maybe £70 on the acc. and then £5 on each of the 6 fivefolds. It's only a hundred quid and I'll probably do it anyway but I'd appreciate some opinions!!

    Definitely drop Maskaev, slight chance he could win, but not anything to really put in a parlay pot.

    The rest of those are good picks, take it. If you want, put a small amount on Oleg just a 'chance' bet.

    I personally see oldman Oleg getting starched in 3 or less.

    Exactly what Amsterdam said. He could screw up your entire parlay so I say drop him off it and make a single side bet on him if you want. Add Povetkin to the parlay if you want someone in his place. Or maybe Mollo over Golota (still a risk though but I think Golota is shot)

    I agree the Oleg one is dodgy guys, but it means he's the money spinner. Losing him drops it from 20/1 to just over 4/1. That's gut wrenching.

    Thats why I'm probably gonna go with the smaller acc. backed up with fivefolds.

    Thanks

    Hedge your bet on Hopkins vs Calzaghe iff the odds are really good becayse there is a chance of an upset.

    Right.....but just keep in mind there is a reason the odds go up to that; cause YOUR odds of winning also get much slimmer. Not a bad list at all but I would be weary of Oleg

    Peter is going to destroy Maskaev, I have been watching all the Maskaev tapes I have and came to the conclusion he's probably going to lose. Before you start making money bets, you need to do as much research as you can on the fighters your betting on. Maskaev is a sucker for the overhand right, one of Peters favorite punches, watch the Rahman/Maskaev 2 fight at about half way through the first round, Rahman hits Maskaev with a clean overhand right that rocks him a bit, that same punch would of did more damage coming from Peter.

    I wonder what the odds on Hopkins vs Calz would be (fight is in Vegas so Hopkins being the favorite is not totally out of question)

    Your right they could be different and will fluctuate up until the fight, but its something to go by cause they "should be" similar
