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

[HitmanTommy]

I think it's a terrible idea.

Never bet money that you cannot afford to lose....even in a two horse race.

He cannot be sure or know to a certaintly that AJ suffered a panic attack - I doubt it as when (until that win anyway) has Ruiz been a panic inducing fighter.

I suspect that AJ is telling the truth when he says the late replacement Ruiz was taken too lightly...

There are just many intangible and variables....no such thing as a sure bet unless you have inside info, and even then...?

I think your father's dislike of AJ (fair enough, we all have views / opinions) has coloured his objectivity....and he's seeing the fight through that prism.

Could be a very costly lesson....especially with Brexit looming.

What does Brexit have to do with anything?

Ruiz is getting smashed this time, not a wise bet imo.

The yield on bonds are shet!

Haha, I know you might get 2-3% return which barely keeps up inflation.

[redmish]

He shouldn't do it. I imagine your father's worked hard for that money and to risk it all like that would be crazy. Imagine losing that kind of money on a cut. Good luck to him but hes braver than I am.

Your dad needs a new hobby. Those are my thoughts.

This is the ******est thing I’ve heard for a long time. There’s a very good chance he will lose his life savings on a boxing match. Fůůůck that.

Please stop him.

Or he retires in comfort. Let's not ignore the possible upside.

Does the old man have a 401K option? He seems quite ******.

[TheGR8TESTOAT]

He got back close to $19k

He's filled out paperwork on it.

WOrd! but that means he had to pay taxes on it then right? Cuz the IRS knows how much he came up.

Don't know how much he paid, but he said he took care of it.
