Do You Bet On Boxing?

[Guest]

I used to a lot more than I do now.


If I stay away from big underdogs trying to hit the home run, I do pretty well, but it's not like I bet a lot.


My biggest bet was 300 bucks on one fight, and the norm is usually 25-100.

I have. I won big on Hopkins beating Tarver and I won big on Winky getting a draw vs Taylor. Thats 2 I remember right off the top

To this day, I hate B-Hop for losing me 200 against Taylor.

I thought for sure after the end of the first fight, Taylor was in for an ass whopping the second fight , but I was the one whupped and robbed that night.

I still blame BHop for me losing. And how many years ago was that?

How many of you bet $ on boxing fights? If so what fights have you bet on in the past and what fights are you planning on betting on?

I have a borderline problem with ******** in general. the fact that boxing has basically taken over my life has really got me deep into the boxing ******** game.

My first profitable fight that got me hooked on betting was Froch/Taylor. I listened to Dwyer, and took froch to win outright at like +130.

I started out with 100 bucks about two years ago, and right now my "******** funds" are at like 250 bucks. lol, so i haven't really made any money, but it's fun and makes watching the matches more interesting.

Wow, what made you think Winky vs Tarver would be a draw? Never bet on draws.....Did you make alot of that?

If you mean Winky vs "Taylor" then I thought it was a great bet. 1st off there are pretty much no bigger wins then draws. If you bet on a guy like Floyd then alot of times you might have to bet 500 to win 100. If you bet for his opponent then you mihgt have to bet 100 to win 375 but if you bet for a draw in nearly any fight then you will be betting like 100 to win 1,000-1,500.

For the record I always bet more then 100. I just saw Taylor as a solid fighter with the worst coordination of any elite fighter but he was big, young, strong, and gave Hopkins fits. Winky I saw as a top P4P guy who was clearly the better fighter & more skilled fighter but Taylor would be much younger, stronger, & use to the MW division while Winky was still new to it.

Just the way there styles meshed I saw it had a good chance of being a draw and with the odds so huge for draws then I thought Id take a risk and boy was I happy

Biggest win was Mosley over Margarito.

Biggest loss was Marquez over Pacquiao the 2nd time around. ._.

I still bet often.

[IronDanHamza]

Sturm over Macklin
Brook over N'dou
Khan over Judah
V.Klitschko over Adamek
Mayweather over Ortiz
Cloud over Mack

50 pounds on this accumalator the comeback is 150 pounds.

9 times out of 10 those fighters are going to win. These are the only bets I usualy take, one's where I'm very very confident they're all going to win.

I.e Hatton-Alvaerz, V.Klitschko-Sosonowski, Mayweather-Marqiez/Mosley, Pacqiauo-Clottey/Margartio/Mosley, Khan-Salita/Mcloskey, Wlad-Peter, Berto-Quintana, Cotto-Mayorga and things of that nature in recent years.

Put an accumalator on those and the comeback is pretty good considering how likely they are to win.

For example I would never put; Haye-Klitschko, Pac-Marquez (2008) Berto-Ortiz, Degale-Groves for example on those accumaltors because I believe there is atleast a good chance of an upset. Thus I don't take the risk.

However, I will do an accumalator consisting of fights I lean on a fighter but think the upset could happen but bet lower. For example one I'm doing now;

Klitschko over Haye
Chisora over Fury
Green over Tarver
Bellew over Mckenzie
Cloud over Mack
Brook over Ndou

10 pounds on that accumaltor and the comeback is pretty decent.

I only put Cloud and Brook in there to up it a little. 2 fights I see as very very very likely to win.

The rest I while the opponent has a good chare thus bet lower but if they all win (which I believe they will) the comeback is good. If they lose, which they might, 10 pounds isn't a big deal


I'm planning on putting some money down on Marquez to get knocked down against Pac which incredibly is even odds.

[love me]

i bet on floyd and pac only. sure win.

[PrinceNaz88]

IronDamHamza, thanks for the tip on Marquez bet.


Am looking at putting this bet on:

Mayweather UD over Ortiz - 4/5
Marquez knocked down against Pac - Evens
Felix Sturm UD over Macklin - 10/11
Kell Brook UD over N'dou - 5/6

£20 on returns £252

Haven't been betting for a few months. Going to put money in my acct. this week though.

Bets I'm looking at for this week. Cloud/Mack under 9.5 rounds. Sturm by decision. Alexander wins outright. Might parlay those I don't know.

[-Antonio-]

Most memorable wins for me. Keep in mind I've never wagered more than 90 and that was one I could have (should have) lost. Pac beating Marg by decision.

Pac beating Hatton by KO
Agbeko beating Vic
Mora beating the round spread vs. Mosley
Cintron beating Angulo
Floyd/JMM going the distance
Donaire beating Montiel by KO

There's others I can't remember.

Biggest loss funny enough was Foreman losing to Wolak. I bet 40 on Foreman. No idea what I was thinking.
