Boxing is easy, if some fool promoter puts Audley Harison up against Wilder can't you work it out? Similarly the last Cleverly mismatch (the other way round this time) was absolutely too good to miss.
If you are confident your man is going to win then back 80 percent of your stash on the straight win. Punt the remaining 20 percent on round betting.
Simple strokes, there is so much bullshit and hype around boxing, and so few useless journos in the main papers that the odds are sometimes quite ridiculous.
You have to work out which are genuine 50 50 fights, there are surprisingly few, groves froch is the only one this year. .
Completely retarded!
Why would you bet on outright wins? Are you serious? That's where all the risk is.
Haye is 1/4 fav against fury so if you bet say £20 on the outright win you end up with £25 which is shocking return if you bet £20.
Risk losing £20 to win £25? Absolutely ridiculous.
The skill is in predicting how the fight will end or when the fight will end.
Predicting Haye to win in rounds 2, 3, 4, at 12/1, 10/1 and 10/1 respectively, now split your £20 between the 3 bets and stick a couple of safe ones on Fury.
£4 - 12/1 Haye round 2 - return = £52
£5 - 10/1 Haye round 3 - return = £55
£5 - 10/1 Haye round 4 - return = £55
£3 - 40/1 Fury round 9 - return = £123
£3 - 50/1 Fury round 10 - return = £153
Profit in all. And now you're risking £20 to win anything from £52 - £153.
If you're gonna bet an outright winner it needs to be the underdog, but again that comes with even more risk.
