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.
50/1 maybe a tenner but certainly nothing significant.
Significants a subjective word. A 10er may not be significant to you but sigbificant to someone else
Well being that you work in the industry you understand what a "significant" amount is so don't give me that old hogs wash that you have no confidence in Tyson winning the world title this year because you laid down a significant amount. Not just ten or twenty quid.

In fact it wouldn't surprise me if you popped a grand on it. I feel the Fury Force is strong within you

It sounds to me that Tyson Fury may just be some kind of guilty pleasure for you. That you secretly admire him and believe in him but dare not express your true feelings for him as a fighter in here for fear of alienating yourself from the majority.

Be true to yourself!
