I Just Made my First Real Bet in Boxing

[The Gambler1981]

Bodog has pretty good odds, those are the odds I use when discussing betting here because anyone can go look at them.

Casamayor is +250 Jmm is -325
Katsidas is +235 Diaz is -295

they don't have a clue!

Thanks bro. DAMN. Casamayor and Katsidis are huge dogs. That's surprising. Worth some chalk maybe. What do you think steelhead?? hignoranteh your bet was horrible from now bet even, or bet dogs, or bet fights that are basically even and shouldn't be in your mind. I'm not betting on Williams vs Michael Jennings or Collazo if that happens. Just like you shouldn't of bet on Margarito over Golden Johnson at 20-1 or whatever the ****.

its this site fault

I used to think like that but I lost enough money to know, I do not know everything now.

It's important to know good dogs when you see them that's what keeps you making money as far as betting goes. Between boxing, mma and NFL, there's always at least 3 really good dogs a month around this time.

ITS MONEY MAKING SEASON

I didn't lose a bunch of money, but I had a couple of close calls that woke me the **** up and scared me straight. I don't bet much anymore, maybe once or twice a year, if I can find a fight that gives me good odds, and I'm positive (at least as positive as I can be) of the outcome. Also kind of have to trust that both fighters perform like they're supposed to, which means you really need them to be at the very top of their game...no surprises (I wouldn't put much money on any heavyweights right now except Vitali, and there's no way I'd get odds on him), no big, glaring mistakes...no nutcases, no ******s, real professionals in every sense of the word. Otherwise you end up with too many variables and the prediction becomes nothing more than a dart thrown in the dark, or a coin toss.

Yea, I almost alwyas bet on dogs and usually I am looking for numbers that do not really make sence to me. Any favorite over -200 is hard for me to lay money on unless I am positive I am going to be right, and i would usually parlay a fight like that (which i hate even more, but still do it sometime lol). I look at the numbers not the fights really.

yes before they listed the lines on those fights i was guessing what the odds would be and was way off. but those odds makers arent always right. and sometimes theirs underlying circomstances like if the fight is in a state that the wired hair wonder can get his meathooks into a judge.
it makes it thrilling to out smart the oddsmakers... like i did on the boldomir/gatti. havent played since.

Exactly. That's my exact approach. Do you follow mma at all?? There's a UFC next week, and it's the dog card of the last 5 years. A guy named Yoshida is fighting another judo player named Karo, and Yoshida is going to steam roll him, but hes over +220. Plus, Karo is suffering from a heavy dose of panic attacks and had to change gyms for training and a bunch of stuff.

On top of that, this guy name Dong Hyun Kim, "Stun Gun", is fighting Matt Brown, a contestant off the last Ultimate Fighter series. Kim is undefeated, trains with Yoshihiro Akiyama, Yushin Okami, a great camp. He's -150, against Brown, who is 10-6 and basically a c level guy.

Kim is the future of the division and most say he's going to give GSP his toughest fight (aside from BJ) because he has amazing striking, hes impossible to take down, great judo and deadly gnp and subs. He will destroy Brown. That's as close to a lock as you get.

Haha yeah there's a lot of sharp bets out there for the trained eye. Katsidis is worth a small play as is Casamayor because both have a chance.

Yea i have lost more then I care to discuss, but a lot of the money I lost was when I was very far up and pissed it away thinking I could do no wrong and chasing good money after bad. I am much more patient now and look for fights I want to bet on with numbers that i like, if fights do not get to where i want i will not put money down
