    I have to think about it, there have been no interesting numbers to me for a minute. I was looking for Margarito to get a little higher then he did and never pulled the trigger. I usually like underdogs and almost never bet on anyone that is over a -200. I really bet numbers and not fights.

Guzman seems to shock his opponets by doing things they don't expect from him. Like I expect Guzman to box a lot and maybe Campbell does too, but crazy Guzman may just fight with Campbell. I became a fan of Guzman when he fought Barrios, crazy mf haunted and pysched Barrios and i thought he clearly beat Barrios. If i was a better i probably wouldn't bet on this fight either, but if i was i'd bet on Guzman. The guy has wanted this spotlight for a long as time, he probably thought he would get it after the Soto fight but im sure after the Campbell fight he'll have the spotlight shine on him.
      Ya right, Guzman is a hell of a fighter, but I don't know what's up with Campbell, he threw over a thousand punches against Diaz, can box and slug, uses his head n stuff. How motivated is he?
      I'm leaning towards Guzman winning by 60% chance because I'm a Campbell fan.

That line is about 10-1, which means if you bet $1,000 you would only get 100 back, just not smart, you can find better odds on better fights. That Diaz line isnt a good one to touch either if youre gonna bet small money, its not worth the risk.

        We don't agree very often, but you're absolutely right about this. If you want to make money over a long term ********, never bet a lot to win a little. If you do, string them together in a parlay.

          I kind of like Casamayor at +250 because JMM is comming up in wieght but Casamayor is old and that is risky

          I kind of like Juarez over Barrios but +135 is kind of thin

          Jermaine Taylor over Lacy even at -550 i would consider

          I am thinking of putting some money on Roy Jones but i think i can get better then +275 if i wait.

            I forgot to put Malinaggi at +205 but that would be dependent on the trouble in Hatton's camp and how it looks with his new trainer.

            None of these fights scream bet on me though.

                Just my opinion, but I think the odds on Jones are more likely to go down than up. If I liked Roy to win I would take those odds while they are there.

                  That isn't an unknown Thai, he's actually one of the more well known Thai boxers around but Mijares will win without much difficulty, the Thai's best days are behind him.

                    I don't know that is possible, but if the odds even up i might consider Joe it is all relative.
