    Last 7 main fights that happened on TV I got the method right and I always like doing accumulators but they don't open the method markets till the week of fight so you can't do a multi fold accumulator

    Hopkins Decision - 2/1
    Alvarado Decision - 8/1
    Rigondeux Decision - 10/3
    Alvarez Decision - 6/4
    Khan Decision - 6/1
    Garcia Decision - 7/2
    Mayweather Decision - 8/11

    This would of paid around 20,000/1 - so £50 for a Million
    I could of easily got this because I called these fights correct.

    Bookies really need to open the method markets in advance.

    There's nothing to stop you continually rolling over your winnings on to the next fight.

    Nothing stopping you putting the winnings on week by week.

    True, but once you get into 4 figures you will pull out, accumulator gives you no choice it rolls automatically makes the decision which you wouldn't be brave enough to do once that amount of money is in your hands.

    I think they don't announce it ages in advance due to the potential of rigging fights.
    The big fights - your Floyd Pac even though it didn't happen, they always have the odds of method/rd. betting ages in advance.

    I used to always bet vCash on here, and if I'd put those bets on in the bookies, I'd have made quite a big profit. I started off with 75 and then using the real odds IB puts up, ended up with about 30,000 at one stage. I've lost half of that since but if you're selective about the bets you choose, it's a pretty easy way to make a good profit. A good bet is the over and under, which is very easy to predict in many fights.

    Sadly, when it comes to putting actual bets on, my luck is nowhere near as good as it is with vCash :lol:

    But yeah, start off with £10, put it on a 2/1 shot and if that wins, put your £30 on your next bet. You'll soon have a big amount of money if you keep winning.

    i think ur underestimating how much the bookies take on not just these method markets but fights in general.

    also trust me once you beat them regularly difficult to get ur money down at the all to correct price.

    good luck with rolling that kind of stakes up!

    the reason they dont put them up until the week of the fight is because will only see smart money before the week of the fight.exception to this is froch v kessler big type of fight where they are confident of seeing smallish stakes and general money in the lead up.

    This.

    No way you'll ever get any high street bookmakers to take a decent sized bet once you start rolling your winnings over.
    Of the big 3 bookies the most I could get on a boxing bet the other week was £27.12, and it was only a 7/2 shot.

    The real reason is probably because most bookmakers don't have dedicated compilers/traders for boxing like they do for football, tennis, horse racing etc. They take a small fraction of bets on boxing compared to these other sports, so boxing isn't a high priority. That's why big fights like Froch v Kessler have the odds up well in advance, while fights like Love v Rosado are only available a day or two before.

    I have personally bet larger sums that that on more than one occasion. Maybe with someone like Betfair you may struggle but IMO the major bookmakers will take the bets.

    If you still cannot get a price on large bet then there are bookmakers like paddypower that will give you a price on pretty much anything. If it is not listed then you can request it.
