    My boxing picks are the worst.....

    So I started betting on sportsbook which i never did until i started predicting outcomes of fights. Sometimes I would get them right even at what round it was going to end by KO. So my first bet was Adamek over Cunningham which turned out to be a good payout based on the odds. After that I cannot seem to get a win mainly because I base my wins on the odds instead of my reasoning. So i lost on the Hatton vs Pac fight, Joel Julio vs. James Kirkland, Andre Ward vs. Edison Miranda, Andre Berto vs. Luis Collazo, Marquez vs. Diaz, Arce vs Darchynian

    So i was like fk it im going to bet even if its against the odds based on reasoning. I bet Berto over Urango and won. So im thinking what can i bet on that would bring a sure win. So i bet on Danny Perez a guy who is 34-6 against Carlos Molina who is 16-4. I went for Perez who was the obvious choice to me and got fkn screwed

      When I make a pick, I study the fighters weaknesses and strengths on video, when they have been hurt and defence.

      For example when I picked Mosley over Margarito, I looked at how often Margarito got tagged against Cotto and how he walked through Cottos punches and came on strong late when Cotto started faltering. Then I looked at Mosley and how he doesn't falter late and has a great workrate and good power with a great chin. I thought Mosley would win early and then not fade late and I was right.

      When I don't do this I lose, I lost when I picked Diaz over Marquez, Torres over Holt, Wright over Williams because they were impulse "look at boxrec" picks.

        If you do research you'll win more than you lose,look at the boxers, promoters, and where they are fighting. Obvious stuff like hometown guys usually get the decision. I won Hatton vs Pacquiao since Hatton throughout his career has trouble with leftys as do most boxers.I lost Wright vs Williams because I didn't give Williams activity enough credit.

              Use your head, ignore what the odds say or what the majority pick.

                Yea i should, but i mean its hard to when you got three to one odds on what seems to be an even match. When we used to have prediction tournaments here I used to end up in the top ten. The last one that we had here I came second. Im going to stop betting as much as I used too

                  If the odds aren't good on a favorite, but you're confident he's gonna win, it's better to just sit it out. Wait until you get a real good underdog or low favorite, like Pacquiao was only 3/1, 2/1 favorite against Hatton.
