fuck me! no disrespect, but some of these odds are a bit skinny ain't they? No wonder Paddy Power is worth a fortune!!!!!
Yea take a lot of margin in them cz always get done on them, fighters/promoters friends finding out about world title shots before we do. Also with so much titles getting vacated for various reasons makes them harder to price.Quote:

Tbf, I hadn't thought about the possibility of promoters seeing a good price and focussing on getting an unlikely shot with their inside knowledge.Quote:

Got stung last year with Butler when he moved up to bantom to fight Hall.

Just imagine how Groves feels. I watched that again the other night, can't see how he lost it tbf despite the knockdown.Quote:

Fuck him hes rich :D I need the money :D
paul smith to win a world title in 2016 22/1?
not even worth a punt
although it depends on which world title, WBU?
I thought the "to win a world title" market was to "get a world title shot" until I double checked. Stick some 1's in front of some of those prices, Silkey :D
Gambling is a sin and a mugs game, especially with those odds.
Why are you anti betting? If you can control yourself its a great form of entertainment!Quote:

There was a BBC doc earlier in the year that covered gamblers of all walks of life. There was one fella that was sticking his entire dole money in a fruit machine, then they popped round his flat to show he had nothing to eat for the week. So what? He should be in a mental home.
Gambling is a mugs game if you don't know what you're doing.
Agree to an extent. I think more should be required from the bookie to protect the most vulnerable and also should be laws on restricting customers. Having to take a minimum bet off someone.Quote:
