    For true gamblers, there is nothing we can't wager on. Literally.

    I love sports betting and as I know boxing I feel I always have an edge, but I'll bet you money on anything from what make the next car to turn the corner is, to heads or tails on the next coin flip. We can put a dub on a Mario kart game. Like Ludacris said, "pick up the sticks..."


    Augur anyone?

      Ha, my old man was a gambler but it was pretty much the only vice that never got a hold of me... probably cos I wasn't about to risk not having enough to pay for the rest of my bad habits.

        How can you gamble on a fight where there’s no declared winner or loser.

          If you are reckless or irresponsible or flat out unlucky it can go south, but if you manage to profit, its exhilarating.

            You can still get slept and/or dominated.

              I don't think weight or skills has too much to do with this - I think it's a case of which 50 year old is LEST inactive and LEAST shopworn - that'll be RJJ

                I think it was such an awful tragedy and waste that Roy Jones, Jr allowed generational wealth and an opportunity of a lifetime to slip through his hands back in 2003 by refusing to fight Mike Tyson. Had they fought back then, he would have easily defeated Iron Mike. I say that because Mike was a broken and defeated shell of his former self after that Lewis demolition and Roy was sitting atop of the boxing world at the time.

                  The one thing I have learned from Roy Jones Jr, is that talk is cheap. He talked a good game before he fought Calzaghe ...From Round 2, on, he fought a dud. He got me good. That was the last time I paid $$$ to watch boxing on PPV. This is a fight, I would not put my money on. A late in his career no heart Roy Jones VS a stayed stoned or stayed heavily medicated Tyson. May the best dud win!

                      You can't, this is #oldnews before they announced the change in contract.

                      Re: betting, you literally can bet on anything these days. At one point my site of choice let you bet on WWE matches. That would have been crazy fun back when it was actually watchable.
