The Gypsy King just dropped a bomb on the betting odds by announcing that he plans to weigh in at 270 lbs. :lol1: Damn it, I guess I'll have to settle for a 3x instead of a 5x. You might still be in luck, man, cos Oddschecker.com that we use for the odds on the Pick Em still got it near as dammit +105 on average, there's a couple of -105s (19/20) in there now but not quite enough to outweigh the +110s or to tip Deontay into favourite. Likely cos it's primarily a UK site I reckon. https://www.oddschecker.com/boxing/deontay-wilder-v-tyson-fury/winner

It is looking right now as if Fury is just the favourite by the narrowest of margins. As long as Deontay remains at +100 or greater (I got a composite of about +105 currently) it will be legitmate to play your x5 on him. The thread will go up either the Monday or Tuesday before the fight and the odds then will be what we go off, however, so you may just have to keep your fingers Xd that the bookies don't start to lean towards Wilder.

I didn't realize aki won, I'm on the road & put my picks a lil late so disregard that pick koba didn't wanna keep editing after other fights started That's some bad luck, man, but thanks for the honesty, chances are I woulda missed the timestamp.

:lol1: Andrade's fight not even in the pick 'em. No BS love for him! We will sometimes put in real horrible mismatches when the main guy is a top P4Per or if there's overwhelming player interest but Boo Boo ain't really there on either score just yet. :lol1:

Blakbread904 Akhmadaliev, KO, late Farmer/Diaz, DRAW, 5x Makabu, KO, mid Ha ha I guess you kinda lucked out there... the x5 'hail mary' multiplier can only be played on the underdog so you get to keep it. There is a rules issue that I hadn't consdered in that typically when a players use a multiplier when they have none of that type left we drop it down to the next highest (which would be x3 in this case) ie if you'd used a x3 and didn't have any left we'd make it an x2. However this situation is slighly different and because the x5 is used differently to the other multipliers I'm inclined to say that rule ain't applcable to x5s even when used correctly.

Man this is a hard one . Normnealon , akhmadaliev UD , close , FArmer SD (close ?? It's a sd ) . . Makabu , Ko mid . :lol1: I hear ya man, mainly it's just that following a standard format makes it easier when it comes down to inputting the results. When you got 40 or 50 entries to put in you just want to get through that ish on autopilot. Of course there is actually an outside chance that with some deeply suspect judging you might get an SD that was 'wide' under game rules (12+ points). 117 - 111, 118 - 110, 113 - 115 might be an example

Get them 2x, 3x, and 5x ready! The Gypsy King's reign is almost over. It is looking right now as if Fury is just the favourite by the narrowest of margins.

Lmfao @ John I. He is such a girl. i proved him wrong on a subject and right away he put me on ignore. Around here, we call that a biaaatch straight up. Good thing he isnt competing on this league cuz he’d be getting shown up and abused weekly. He's an older dude from a generation when folk weren't quite as abusive towards each other as has become the norm online. Dude takes things to heart which ain't necessarily a bad quality in my book, but I think he was kinda culture shocked by the level of vitriol around here. Sad thing was even though I rated him as a far better poster - and probably human being - than Robbie, he just didn't have that kinda smarts and Barrett just kinda goaded him into saying stuff, played him, so it was john I ended up having to threaten with being put on ignore from the PICK EM account.

:haha: Quitting only a month in, Plunger? Weak. You still have a bunch of multipliers to make a comeback with. Wsup with your boy doe. Submitting himself after couple of weeks... Just willing to take it deep lol without a fight

Dude likes to get into the banter I think, but mainly what he's getting in response is kinda amused puzzlement... :lol1: We did have a bit of a genuine fall out and accusations of cheating between Barrett and john l (who was on the CREW at the time) back in '18 after we first took over, but we got it resolved OK in the end... peacefully if not entirely amicably. :lol1: He called me "niga".
