    Default Do you bet on the fights?

    Typically, when you bet, are you betting for or against a fighter? Do you follow the odds everytime? I have never bet on a fight, so I'm curious. Yes, I did say never!

    I believe a few guys do bet on the fights yes. They're all brilliant

    I always bet on the underdog and put small money on a draw for the high odds.
    Best bets are on mayweather let's say £100 on to win £25 back is worth £500 on to win £100 back as you know he will win.
    I always bet against khan and when prescott beat him I won £1300 because I knew it would happen in the first round. I won £60 on Garcia to win with £2.50 bet, I won a fare bit on prizefighter recently as had a feeling tor hamer would do it and knew kingpin would be runner up

    Interesting, you bet for and against fighters and always have the odds in mind. I don't think I would enjoy boxing as much, if money was involved. It takes all kinds because things would be as boring as a bucket of clear water if we were all the same.

    Example: I'm a froch fan and I even had a bet that he would lose by ko/tko or decision to cover myself so no matter what happend I'd walk away with something.
    Id be gutted froch lost but I would have gained out of a negative if you know what I mean

    I bet on boxing when the right fight at the right price comes around. For example I recently had £1000 on Haye to KO Chisora. I just couldn't see any other result. I was robbed in reality as at first I had it with Skybet and got a great price of 15/8. Then when it was announced on fightweek it would only be a 10 rounder Sky voided my bet and then the price dropped right down to I think it was 5/4 with Sky despite the fact Haye actually had less time to get the KO than I originally had bet on.

    Anyway to cut a long story I went with Paddy Power who at the time were offering great bonuses and free bets to new customers and I had just signed up so I put 20 £50 bets on and got an extra £250 worth of free bets with some at 6/4 before their price dropped to 5/4 also and I ended up taking that for quite a few of my bets but all in all I ended up coming out with a very nice little wedge.

    I had a nice bet on Price to KO Sexton a couple of months back and I also won a few quid on Price to KO Mcdermott in the first round in their fight too although that wasn't a huge stake but the big odds made up for that. I'm well up on my boxing gambling but I only bet when the price is half decent and I'm 90% sure it will come in. I can literally go a year without a serious bet on boxing but when the fights come round that I do fancy a big bet on, my house is literally bouncing. The neighbours actually said to me the other week "I take it you won on Haye, we heard the screams" lol!
