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

Tell him to bet the over ... on the weigh-in.

bet big...win big

I myself wanted to bet on Ruiz winning again inside the limit. Not my life savings, though (I don't have any...).

But Joshua is a money machine, so there's a good chance that things might be turning towards a win for him. Think "premature stoppage" or something.

So your dad should avoid that kind of bet, unless he's willing to take it on the chin and keep smiling if he loses the money.

Buy Treasury bonds, then sit back and live off the fat of the land, risk free.

Your dad has bigger balls than most.

My father is not a wealthy man by any means. He's just an average working man, but he likes taking opportunities when he believes the odds are greatly in his favor. He's done it before by putting the majority of his savings which was around $85,000 on Mayweather moneyline vs Mcgregor, but since the odds were so crappy, he didn't get back much in return.

He's pretty much set in doing it again by putting it on Ruiz. His reasoning is because AJ supposedly suffered a severe panic attack meaning that in the rematch, all of the pressure and eyes will be on him and he believes he will suffer yet another panic attack because everything will be overwhelming.

He also believes he's mentally weak, which makes since as he clearly quit when the going got tough.

He said this will be the last time he bets this big again, but he's been saying for months that Ruiz is holding all of the cards in the rematch.

He has not placed the wager yet as he's waiting to get the best odds possible, then he's going to unload it all at the Westgate superbook on the very last day. So if anyone is at that sports book, you can see him making the wager there during that time.

You probably wont be able to convince him not to make this wager as his mind is pretty much made up, but what advice do you have? Do you think this is a solid bet?

Don’t do it.

AJ floored Ruiz then became very sloppy. He won’t repeat that again.

Well if there's no convincing him otherwise, then best of luck to him... I truly hope he wins big.

That's scary as hell though lol. The uncertainties of life

He's about to loose his life savings....tell him I said so with so much conviction.
If you can, persuade him not to.
Good luck.

I started to say that...then I considered what would happen if the old man were right but his son talked him out of making that bet.

Could have been retired on a 1/2 mil...but NO!

Maybe it's better to just say, you know, nothing.
