Olympics - Value Bet

Post by TheGoods »

I got 22/1 with b365 and 20/1 with Boylesports about Claressa Shields winnning middleweight gold. Still some 12/1 knocking about. Savannah Marshall is the favourite and obviously fancied on home soil but it's an open draw and while I'd LOVE to see her do the bizzo I think Shields' price was/is mental. As far as i know she has only ever lost one fight (to Marshall in China) and there wasn't much in that. Anyone got an opinion?

Katy Taylor is, understandably, too big a favourite to warrant a value bet.

I saw that 22/1 on Shields and thought it worth a punt. She has had about 27 bouts and only lost to Marshall, who she was widely expected to beat. I saw Claressa train last week in Bolton, she looks very capable and was confident. Her reasoning is that she knew nothing of Marshall before their first meeting but Savannah knew all about her. Now Shields has studied all the field and knows what she has to do.

On the flip side she is just 17...

I just lumped on at 12's. Even at that it's a great value bet. Let alone getting 22/1 !
nice 1 and good luck :)

Surprised you can get as much as 5/6 on Lomachenko, thought he'd be much shorter than that. Lump on or is there something I'm missing?

Have you got Snipers up there that'll open fire if you watch a female boxing match?

Took the late 12s on Shields, you guys have the value, it s a tough diviision but she should have been single figures so happy with the value.

Got Usyk and Lomachenko in a lumpy double and also fancy Zamkovoy in the welterweight, any sort of draw and with his right head on I think he can win this.


These are my fancies before but will attempt to watch as much as possible and perhaps nab a few quid when they start pricing up the quarters themselves etc

Good luck

8/1 now. Think the bookies have just looked at the World Ranking for this. She is a double Olympic Junior Champ as well apparantly. Can't wait for this when does the boxing start?

I've gone for a treble on Lomachenko, Joshua and Stalker at about 20/1. Just a bit of fun, GB are bound to get a couple of golds so could be them

Boxing, in general, can give you generous odds at times. It's not a big earner over here for the bookies and their "expertise" is not even comparable to that of their gee gee knowledge for example.

Joshua was 3/1 a couple of days ago, then dropped to 9/4, gone back up a bit to 5/2 now. Must be a bit of money coming in on him.

I got on at 12/1, she's now 1/3 to beat the Russian in tomorrows final. Debating laying the bet, there's no sure things in this tournament with the dodgy scoring.
