You can take it out to other sports also, if you like.

i bet all the time with Cotto and Juan Ma but is just like $20 or so
and it feels very good to win money

2 things to celebrate
1. the victory
2. the money u just made

I won't bet against Roy. Betting against other fighters i like is no problem, real money or not.

Whenever the odds dictate that I do so and I think it has a reasonable chance of paying off. There is no loyalty when it comes to ********, atleast if you want to really try and make money at it.

I have done it myself a few times.... I just don't like it....
I just feel too conflicted. When I have done it it was usually a fight I knew they were likely going to lose anyway, but still.

I am too fanatical about boxing, and too fanatical about money

I don't let the two worlds cross when it comes to the fighters I like the most.

But the only one time i've written a fighter off i like

There is a difference between betting (trying to win or determine the outcome of a match) and rooting. I will always root for my favorite fighters but that does not always mean I will always bet on them to win. That is blind nut hugging. You have to be realistic.

I only bet against fighters I like if they are fighting another fighter I like. I didnt know who to root for for Taylor-Pavlik until someone offered me a bet on Taylor so I took Pavlik. Whats weird is I started liking Pavlik more than Taylor just off of that not because of the performance.
