is it ****** to bet $5000 to win $500 for floyd?

[Evol]

bet $5000 to win $500?? am i missing something here? if its a typo and u meant to say bet 500 to get 5000 then sure why not.

As with every other thread on boxingscene, this one is filled with ******ed ****ing knobjobs who don't have a goddamn clue about ******** or boxing.

For the TS - if you have the $5000 and it won't break you then do it.

I've been betting thousands on Floyd to win hundreds for every fight going back to Gatti. I would estimate I've won anywhere from 5-10k doing what you are describing.

These other ****ing morons going "Man I'd never bet those odds - put some money on Maidana and hope for the best" Would be 0 for the century and be down the same $5000 over time by betting ****** ****ing underdogs who never had a chance.

Alright , i am thinking of betting too. From what ive read here i think im gonna put some money on both guys

100 on each guy **** it

[Boxing Goat]

it's almost 99% sure floyd would win.. i want to bet $5000 for floyd to win $500.. and honestly, if i did bet.. this would be the 1st i would be rooting for him..

so if you have $5000 to spare.. would you?

I do have 5k to spare but I would not bet on this fight.

Maidana is too big of a puncher to take that risk.

This is awful advice, lol. When you bet you're...BETTING. You aren't trying to "recover lost profits" or "break even" or, best yet, "possibly come up"

You bet to win. Otherwise you're wasting your fucking time.

You're diluting your bet by doing it that way. It's akin to playing roulette and betting on every number except one.

You never dilute your bet.

Betting odds are created to gain earnings, people who create these lines never lose $. So pick one option.

All I'm saying is if he hedges ("insures") his bet properly, there is no way he can lose.

If he figures out the numbers properly and bets on both Maidana and Mayweather he will either win something or break even. I'm not in a position to sit down and crunch the proper numbers for him right now (I'm on the go.)

It beats potentially losing $5,000 out sheer ignorance/neglect. And th pay out sucks for betting Mayweather, with huge potential consequences. There are smarter ways to gamble rather than saying "**** it, it's ********."

For the record I would take the juice too if 5000 was not a big deal to me. I also would not worry about hedging in this case because I don't think Maidana has a chance. I just get the impression if you're asking if you should bet on a message board then you are having doubts. If you hedge you would remove those doubts.

I do have 5k to spare but I would not bet on this fight.

Maidana is too big of a puncher to take that risk.

Everyone says that about Floyd fights man. Don't you think Canelo was too big of a puncher?

it's almost 99% sure floyd would win.. i want to bet $5000 for floyd to win $500.. and honestly, if i did bet.. this would be the 1st i would be rooting for him..

so if you have $5000 to spare.. would you?

you make $759/hr...live a little

Invest it in stocks. If you have 5K to spare, to potentially lose if a huge upset happens, then you probably don't need 500 bucks anyway, you got 5K laying around!

I do have 5k to spare but I would not bet on this fight.

Maidana is too big of a puncher to take that risk.

Then bet 1K on Maidana and walk away with $7500-9000 depending on betting line
