What was the fight you had £15 @33/1?
@Vendettos

Avendano vs Lujan

Blimey, that's an obscure fight. Well done though.

I backed Prescott to KO Khan in round 1 @100/1 - only for peanuts.

Obscure? Lujan had not long been in a tough fight with Antonio Margarito for a world title mate, early the same year. Plus Lujan is one of my fav fighters I try and follow all his fights I actually had him as my avatar on here for like a year lol.

How much did you have on the Khan Prescott fight? That's such a good pick mate, I don't fully remember but I'm sure I had Khan down to win a UD.

Venny and Fenny, sitting in a tree, B.E.T.T.I.N.G

Iv'e been thinking about making a go of some regular betting. I'm not terrible at it and would only take it more seriously if it was for money (I hope) the only problem was I've always been aware that my estranged father was an absolutely useless and compulsive gambler

I remember betting on winky trinidad - just 20 quid mind being sure winky would win - and was so pissed off at myself for not betting about 500!!

Lol.

I have a few, acquaintances lets say, not so much mates but I know them well, and they bet crazy every week on sports, from F1 to football to boxing and back again.

One of them makes a killing on football, he wins something 3 of every 4 weeks.

Knowing when you're shit and stopping is the skill. I don't do well at football so I just simply don't bet football now.

Peanuts means a small amount. However, one mans peanuts is another mans fortune. For what it's worth - what I won from the 100/1 shot I've staked double that on other bets... numerous times.

I'm still skint.

In my opinion, when Finito and Vendetto suggest that you have to know your boxing to win at boxing betting, they are correct. What they mean is that you have to know when the bookies are valuing an outcome incorrectly. In other words, you play a bet where the odds don't accurately reflect what you believe they should. So, sometimes that means that while you think it is likely that the favorite wins the fight (Mares), the fact that the odds on the underdog are out of whack (Gonzales), means that you bet on him anyway because there is more of a chance he win than the bookies believe. Conversely, if you think the odds on the favorite are too close (original 2/1 odds on Floyd with Canelo), you bet on the favorite because you think it is more likely than that that he wins.

In Las Vegas, the LVH (formerly the Hilton) is where ive seen the most fights listed. Just in case any of you are ever here in person
