    That would damn near be throwing money in the trash.

        If winning $500 is a lucrative enough return for you to consider risking $5000 then I suspect you are not in a position to lose $5000.

        No one gambles $5000 for such a meagre return (proportional to the betting price 1/10) who can afford it. You bet big to win big, not win small. People who value $500 as a significant amount of money proportional to the betting price, cannot afford to lose that money.

        So my advice, don't. Floyd is 8/13 to win by decision, you'd get $8000 back for that from $5000. Much better value and just as likely as it is Floyd winning.

            Probably the best bet and the safest since he is likely to make it go 12 pot shot Maidana and play it safe just like if you were going to bet on the outside chance of Maidana may as well get more money and bet on a stoppage as its the only way he is winning.

              I would bet 1k on chino, the rest on Floyd if you're feeling like a pu ss and wiuld rather be down 600 bucks than risk losing 5k to el chino. If Maidana wins you got 10k...

              Some people don't like that style of betting but you minimize your losses in the event the underdog doesnt pull it out and the profit is good enough to risk 600 bones. 600 bucks for a chance to win 10k isnt so bad... Guess you could hit upbthe casino instead and maybe get lucky. Spend like 400 ******** and get somes drinks with 200 and have a nice time..that also works.





              Edit: one of the above posters also makes a greta point and obviously knows more about betting than I.

                Although we know that there is a very high possibility that Floyd wins this fight, you never know. If Maidana would somehow pull this off, you'll be ****ing your head against the wall till you KO yourself thinking about how ****** you were to risk 5k to win a misally 500 bucks. Bet Maidana small or no bet.

                  I wouldn't do it on this fight. Their have been plenty of fights with better odds that were a more sure thing.

                  Mayweathers likely going to win, but Maidana has prevailed many times when he's not suppose to or down and out.
