How often do you bet against a fighter you like?

[T.Horton]

I have not bet against Pacquiao since the first Morales fight.

[The Gambler1981]

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.

Yea if you feel that way you should probably avoid ******** on fighters that mean something to you. This is not a bad thing aslong as you recognize it, betting with your heart in boxing will get you annhilated so best to avoid that.

I NEVER bet on matches in which my favourite fighters are fighting (neither for or against). Betting is a serious thing, especially when it's with money. It's also a pragmatic thing, concerning logic, and has little to do with one's own convictions. Records, tales of the tapes, styles etc. are the things that really affect the outcome of a fight. Betting with ones' heart distorts perceptions, and at the end of the day, it's not clever. (I learnt this from making football bets as a Man City fan)
