    I'm thinking of betting 1400$ on Abraham vs Gevor at 1/7

    easy 200$ no? Would like some advice from those who might have some to give...

    That is a large bet, what if you lose?

    Seems like a pointless risk, if you've got $1400 to burn why would you need another shitty $200?

    Obviously it seems like easy money but trying to buy money off a bookie is never wise.:verysad

    Ok he break and anckle, gets cut bad by a punch, get DQ'd for hitting the guy while he's down ect ect ect

    Not worth risking $1400 to only win 200.

    Well, Pharoah - After your big money bet on Alcine, I think you are Jesus and can walk on water. Go for it.

    just read the rd by rd thread and it turns out this might not have been the smartest bet considering how close it was
