    Well he has to sell something, what with all of the money he's lost betting on his own picks.

        He should be rolling in dough after betting Thompson and straddling with the over.

          Dwyer doesn't pick who he thinks is most likely to win, he picks what is best value for bets. He usually saddles it with a bet on the other guy by KO or decision so even if his "value" bet doesn't win you have covered your losses from the bet on the other guy.

            IMO, that's horrible for boxing. He tried to hedge it with betting for Thompson and the over... but both lost.
            Betting the underdog works every so often in boxing.... he should just stick to making UFC picks if he's going to be doing that.

              Dwyer is a smart guy, but like everyone else in this sport, his results on tough pick fights is 50/50, just like everyone else.

              He leans towards the more refined fighters generally. I never go by what he says. I agree with some picks, disagree with others. I do however always enjoy his POV, regardless if i agree with it.

                Wlad by KO would have been the most obvious cover bet, i don't know why he picked the over.

                  the thing is this: if you make a bet like that where you bet on 2 things, and you lose BOTH, you lose a lot of money. And the bottom line is this: it takes a long long time until you get that money back by betting. Cause even if you win by making two bets on one fight, you only make A LITTLE money. Cause usually you lose one of the bets and the other one is just to make sure you dont lose a lot or you at least win a little. But if you lose 2 bets on one fight, you are really f+cked cause in the long run its almost impossible to get that money back. and everybody who did some betting, knows Im telling the truth

                    This right here!
                    I don't see the big deal even professional gamblers who make a killing often get tempted by what they consider great odds.
                    I've done it myself many times sometimes it comes through, others it don't.

                    Its just advice hes offering, nobody is right 100% of the time, its boxing and you'd better expect the unexpected.

                    If people are better than Dwyer (not saying they aren't) then they should have a bit of fun at least and join the predictorship challenge on here!

                      I'm not sure but at a guess it was because the odds was rubbish on Wlad by K.O as it was expected and you'd of had to risk a lot of money for very little reward.
