I'm noticing A LOT of people are picking Marquez

No, not root against him, but you said you were PICKING JMM, and that's not the same. I was rooting for Paulie against Hatton but I knew he'd get smashed.

OHH ok i get it you want me to root for JMM but at the same time bet against him! okk got you! that makes sense.

Have you read ANY of the posts on this thread?!?!

I've said betting is ****** and that just because you WANT a fighter to win doesn't mean you should say that he WILL win.

That's ALL I've been saying OVER AND OVER AND OVER because slow-ass fools like you don't seem to get it.

10k on Floyd....hit me up!!!

I used the word ****** because I believe that risking a cash loss is a very bad move. Of course, it can work out the other way, and the thrill of that possibility is what gambler's love, but I just don't consider it a very smart financial decision.

Please educate me - what's the difference between betting for football and basketball? I think ******** on NBA games is a pretty safe thing, because there are rarely any upsets, but I'd still never do it.

It's simple....it's the amount of games.

Every game in Football is important....cause there's only 16. So the probability of favorites losing are smaller.

Plus, in baseball and basketball, with 82 and 162 games to play, guys tend to take games off....it's just nowhere near as predictable.

In Football, the elite teams rarely lose games they should win. And playing the spread, the intervals in scoring help as well. In baseball the scoring goes 1 by 1, in basketball by 1,2,3, and occasionally 4. In football it's 2(rare), 3, 6(rare), and 7.

In basketball if a team is like a 2.5 point favorite, it's so hard to bet on that cause of how many garbage points get scored at the end of games with fouls and what not.

In football, teams start to run out the clock as soon as humanly possible, so ****** little things in the end of the game that effect the score are much more rare. Like if there's 30 seconds left in the game and the team is in field goal range, they'll take a knee and run out the clock. If a guy on the court is on a fast break with 30 seconds the go, he'll probably finish it, even if they're up by 20.

Who has FMJ fought that has really "Pushed" his abilities? his talent lies in the retreat and pot-shot technique. face it Hatton had a good few rounds until he left the plan. DLH was on the road to the win and he stopped flickin his jab!

come on you can do better than that! cant you?

That's what all the Floyd haters say. It's a testament to him that no one has been able to do this, just shows how good he is.

He can never win with you haters. It's either this "no one has pushed him" ****, but if he DOES fight someone who ends up pushing him, you'd just say "see? told y'all he wasn't that good, if even this bum gave him a tough fight."

Fighters are praised for either dominating with ease or losing tough fights in which they show heart, but Floyd is trashed for both. If he dominates, he's a cherry picker, if he struggles, he's overrated.

So if we want a fighter to win.. we should keep it to ourselves??

I see, thanks. By the way, that last paragraph makes it sound as if football can be extremely boring. It reminded me of the pre-shot clock era in basketball where teams would just hold on to the ball after building a lead.
