So my dad is going to put the majority of his savings on Andy Ruiz.... Thoughts?

[abracada]

Enchiladas man...enchiladas

He did the Rocks epic cheat day, everyday since beating AJ.

[Ray*]

A few weeks ago I bet £50 on a Ruiz stoppage at 3/1

Saw Ruiz's weight at the weigh in and immediately put £100 on an AJ points win at 4/1

Nice £350 return.

Anyone that still thought Ruiz would win after blowing up like that was a fool.

So through the whole thing I picked Ruiz to win, was going to put £100 on him at 12/1, after the weigh in I refused to place the bet because seeing his weigh left me unsure.

HitmanTommy any updates on the situation?

Did he go through with the bet?

Yeah, he went through with it.

I tried to stop him, but it's his money. Talked to him on the phone up until round 7 and never called me back.

Hurt right now, I'm sure. I'll call him later to let him gather himself.

That's ********.

I reckon AJ boxes his way to a rematch victory. Wlad was able to change his style and keep many fighters at bay with move, jab, right hand. I wouldn't be surprised if AJ's jab opens up a nasty cut.

This fight is a 50/50 so I wouldn't recommend your dad do that, but it's his money.

Very good prediction

Damn.

Sorry to hear that.

After the weigh in it was obvious Ruiz wasn’t there to win the fight.

There was a glimmer in Round 8, but Ruiz far too out of shape to make anything of it.

[elfag]

he dropped 85K on MayMac? What did he win back from that?

I'm a little suspect on these types of big claims. If you go to Vegas and drop anything over 10G's they make you fill out paper work so just by getting the IRS eyes on you makes me hesitant to ever bet that big.

I think the most I ever bet was like 2g's in the Vegas sports book and thats when I was making that phat GM salary!

Yeah it is not that easy to bet 85k, its not like you just take it all out in cash, you got to go to the bank fill out paper work, wire it all this chit and they gonna be looking at you like youre a dumb ass, so that is some social pressure to not do something ******.

85k on mayweather was a terrible bet, the odds are so chit that its not even worth it, risk 85k to get back what 3k or something dumb like that. Mayweather could lose by DQ, or breaks both hands, or gets a cut the ref rules legit, ect ect. There are bad calls all the time. Theres crazy chit happens all the time. What if you bet on Mayweater beats Ortiz > 7 rounds or whatever and then boom odd ball stoppage in the 4th, he handnt had a stoppage that early since Manfredy in 1998.

OP's dad bet his life savings based on rumors he read about AJ's camp the first fight... what in the ***.

[4truth]

Really sorry that happened, I’m guessing he might have reconsidered had he waited for the weigh-in. I certainly wish I had waited.

Very good prediction

Thanks man, I still didn't end up making any money on the fight!
