    Hopkins, Bradley, Peterson and Mosley all winning?

    If you put down $1, you win $515. So i put down $1.50. Can you imagine if the stars aligned and some jerk put down like $1,000 on this bet and won? That would be half a milion.

    Thoughts?

    not a gambler but based on statistics and probabilities, just multiply all their percent odds and you would get the exact odd of it happening.

    :deal I'll be suprised if one wins! I'd put my money on B-hop if anything.. He's cagey and It wouldn't suprise me if he pulled out a victory.

    Peterson and BHOP are the most likely.

    Bradley cant KO Pac so he will get robbed even if he does win.

    Mosley is shot and he pretty much works for GBP.

    Chump change on too many (literally) astronomically unlikely bets like this adds up, especially if you make enough of them to improve your lifetime chance of winning one to something someone with a lifespan less than 8,000 years might just see.

    How about this parlay? Pick Mayweather, Pac and Dawson to win and you win .75 for every dollar you put down. That seems pretty safe to me.

    "Whar are the odds"? Well, I'd say the bookie thinks it is at least 516 to 1.

    True. But i've won enough small parlays and i know to avoid any large parlays. This bet is more of a fun/joke type bet. I have found out that when i try to win money by gambling ,i usually end up losing money but just bet for the enjoyment and that's when i win.

    Don't discount the cranial wrath of Billygoat Bradley. He's gotten away with it so far...
