I'll be betting a large sum of cash on Wlad (Vs. Brewster) and have a couple questions regarding the rules when it comes to betting on win by KO/TKO/STOPPAGE. Most of the cash'll be going on straight up win, but will probably put $200-$500 on rounds 2 & 6,7,8. Not in Vegas at the moment to ask first hand. If I bet KO, will this still cover TKO and/or stoppage?

Yes, KO/TKO/Stoppage are all covered by the places I bet at. Although when the stoppage is by an accidental cut by headbutt or elbow and they go to the cards from an illegal blow it doesn't.
If your betting on a Win by KO look at the odds you get. Sometimes its better to parlay your bet and get a better possible return i.e.
Klitch to win -320 but you parlay it with KO/TKO and possibly an over under (depending on how high it is, but the handicapers are usually pretty good with over unders and I mostly avoid using it in a parlay).Last edited by Left2body; 06-13-2007, 03:16 AM. -
But if I parlay it, and one of the bets loses I'm waxed. (i.e. Brewster's never been KO'd, so not sure that's a safe bet when it's risking the whole wad) If I don't parlay and lose my KO bets, I will still win the straight up, no? (assuming Wlad wins) --
I'm looking at about 14k I'll be putting for the win and 1k divided between KO/TKO/STOPPAGE rounds 2,6,7,8... Smart or not smart (BESIDES the fact that I'm risking most of my savings). See a better pay off with about the same chances while risking less money?Comment

Bro, now I understand your wager. Thats a propositional bet. Many sites offer these exotic bets with enticing odds.....but they are sucker bets. Dont do it. I dont know the lines on the fight yet so I can't tell you a better wager but even a straight win bet is better than that propositional bet.
BTW I only parlay certain bets. For example if I was to bet on B-Hop or Winky I wouldn't make a straight bet of a win. I would parlay it with an Over. Or just a straight B-Hop by decision or Winky by Decision which would give better odds than B-Hop to win or Winky to win.
Parlay's are risky but the ones like the above mentioned are IMO worth it.Comment

Ok, let me know if you come up with something better... I'm not sure what the KO odds are, but lasvegasinsider puts Wlad at -550 right now. Might not bet the rounds at all if the odds aren't good enough (i.e. 4:1 payoff puts me even if I place bets on 4 rounds as I can only win one of those. But if it's 8:1 or some such, might be worth it).
Are you placing anything on this Malignaggi fight?? I'm thinking about Malignaggi for the straight up. But not sure how much to risk... Was thinking about money on Ibrigamov and almost sent the word for 7.5k on Cotto. Woulda coulda...
Where do you place your bets BTW?Comment

Malignaggi is as high as -270 and as low as -220 in bookies I use. If you pick Malignaggi by decission you will probably knock 30 to 40 dollars off the spread i.e. -270 would go to about -240 to -230 which is possibly worth it.
I might go for Paulie to win via KO/TKO/Stoppage because its +1000 and I think Paulie knows he has the spotlight and is very aware of marketability. I think he will sit down on his punches in the mid to late rounds and try and take N'dou out.
I max myself out at $500 per fight so I wont do anything ******. But I will probably end up just putting $200 on Paulie to win via KO/TKO/Stoppage at +1000 just for the fun of it.Comment
