Not confident but 5/1 is too big. I dont bet because I think something will win, I bet because the odds are too good allowing me to make money in the long run.
Ok

You placed a "significant" bet on something you have no confidence in happening.....

You would also have no confidence in David Cameron becoming a world champion boxer this year. Would you part with the same money?

Another way to explain this is you think Fury will beat Stiverne. So you have no confidence in Stiverne? SO will you not back him at any price? 5/1? 10/1? 20/1? 50/1? Everything has its price and if it is wrong it is worth backing, even if you dont think it will win.
