Hopkins v Pavlik betting

[Gray-Fox]

Am I right on this one:

That if I bet 100 quid on Pavlik and he wins I get 440 back?

[BigEars]

No, if you bet 100 on Pavlik you get 136.36 back or a profit of just £36.36

[Gray-Fox]

Ok thanks.

I've got a £1 on a ko for Pavlik in every round. Come on Kelly.

I can't believe I got 4/1 for Hopkins against an unprovern fighter, 10lbs out of his weight division and very one dimensional.

What was even more bizarre was the fact the bookies had Pavlik at a shorter price than when Calzaghe fought Hopkins.

Who did you get that with? I always try and ensure that bet on both fighters to get at least my money back, William Hill had Hopkins at 2/1 so didn't think it was worth it, more the fool me!

Got it on Betfair, he even went a shade bigger than 4/1 just before the off.

Is Betfair the one where normal people post odds and people can post their bets with them? Do you always get your money back?

[Poncey]

Yeah, I checked on a betting comparison site and the best they had was 5/2 and 11/4.

[Hagler2002]

The best who had?

I didn't exactly back Hopkins the book was running at 112% and I laid Pavlik @1.27 which also meant I got the draw so theoretically I did back Hopkins at 4/1.

If you backed him outright on Betfair it was a shade over 3/1 so the way to do it was lay Pavlik as the book was not at 100%

I've got a Betfair account, free with Telegraph Fantasy Football.

And haven't got a scooby doo what to do with their odds setting.

[Poncey]

Me neither. I have absolutely no idea what Hagler is saying in His post. He could be speaking Georgian and it would make as much sense.

I really know nothing about gambling, except the number before the dash should be bigger than the number after to make it attractive.
