Yea take a lot of margin in them cz always get done on them, fighters/promoters friends finding out about world title shots before we do. Also with so much titles getting vacated for various reasons makes them harder to price.

Stuart Hall at 5/2 for example looks very short but he is rated number 5 with IBF so good chance he gets a shot at Haskins this year who he could beat.

Tbf, I hadn't thought about the possibility of promoters seeing a good price and focussing on getting an unlikely shot with their inside knowledge.

Got stung last year with Butler when he moved up to bantom to fight Hall.

Yea the poor auld bookie

Had a few bad beats in my own bets too. Groves to win a world title this year at 5/1 going off 1/2 against Jack and losing. Pain in the hole would have paid for a nice trip to see a big fight in the states next year.

Just imagine how Groves feels. I watched that again the other night, can't see how he lost it tbf despite the knockdown.

Fuck him hes rich I need the money

paul smith to win a world title in 2016 22/1?

not even worth a punt

although it depends on which world title, WBU?

[Fenster]

I thought the "to win a world title" market was to "get a world title shot" until I double checked. Stick some 1's in front of some of those prices, Silkey

Gambling is a sin and a mugs game, especially with those odds.

Why are you anti betting? If you can control yourself its a great form of entertainment!

A lot of people can not control themselves and get themselves into a lot of trouble. It is becoming easier and easier to gamble and therefore easier to get into debt.

Well that's their stupid fault. If you're so thick that you bin all your dough on gambling you deserve to be booted off a cliff.

There was a BBC doc earlier in the year that covered gamblers of all walks of life. There was one fella that was sticking his entire dole money in a fruit machine, then they popped round his flat to show he had nothing to eat for the week. So what? He should be in a mental home.

Gambling is a mugs game if you don't know what you're doing.
