Comments Thread For: Bettor Wins $5,700 From $285,000 Wager Placed on Caleb Plant's Win Over Caleb Truax

In other newsworthy news:

Daring Millionaire Punter Risks All On Sun Rising. Wins £1!!

Literally sums this sort of sh** up...

[HitmanTommy]

This is just a ****** bet all around. Who in the hell bets that much money to win a measly amount?

In boxing, all it takes is one good punch that you dont see.

[Nash out]

****** bet. He'll keep betting on these 'cert', and one of them won't win, it always happens. I'm sure he'd have had it on Tyson vs Douglas, or Joshua vs Ruiz, or one of about 100 examples people could give over the years.

This type off betting is a sure fire way to eventually lose a ton of money.

Imagine he bet that on Caleb Truax by mistake and then Truax pulled off the upset

I saw odds of 11/1 on Truax. You had to bet 33 to win $1 on Plant on Bet365.

If you bet $285k on the favorite who is 50-1, why not bet $1mill? Or $5mill? Or even $10mill? Unless those $285k was a large portion of what he has in total. If it was then that just makes him ******. A celeb putting $20mill on a sure bet, it makes sense. But a normal person who has $500k in the bank and bets half of it, is just ******.

UFC is promoting this all the time on their events now and it's ******. Nobody cares that some rich person bet on a fight with such little rewards.

So what does that make you? You're just another level below now, criticizing the guy who was critical of this garbage puff piece that comes out after every mismatch fight lately. Did you write this and are personally offended you're not in the running for a Pulitzer Prize?

I'm not criticizing anyone. I'm pointing out the irony in someone on here calling someone else a loser for having that much time on their hands to focus on this subject.

As for the story - I've been tracking absurdly large bets placed on statistical mismatches since the pandemic. There has been enough of a demand on the subject to cover it. Not sure how it qualifies as a puff piece - I'm not glorifying the win (in the ring or at the sportsbook), I'm drawing attention to these bets being placed to begin with.

Again, if the subject doesn't interest people, there are literally thousands of other threads and topics on here to click and debate. To take the time to read, log on to the board and comment (good, bad or otherwise) invalidates any claim that someone else has too much time on their hands, wouldn't you say?

And no, none of these stories are ever filed in my year-end contest submissions. Just stuff for this cesspool of a message board's viewing pleasure.

Are you the guy who wrote the article?

If so... as a journalist, do you really think this is newsworthy?

There’s enough nonsense in boxing, we don’t need anymore of it.

And yet you have more posts in this thread than anyone else. Slow Sunday for ya?

[YoungManRumble]

Well I hope the books are giving you a little taste at least for the promotion.

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

And yet you have more posts in this thread than anyone else. Slow Sunday for ya?

I’m replying to people, that’s kind of how this whole forum thing works.

You obviously took this very personal... It was only meant as joke, no need to get so insecure man.

Why duck the question too? Do you really think what you wrote was newsworthy?
