Khan vs Collazo on floyd card
Re: Khan vs Collazo on floyd card
For the odd person who has a go on the outsider in a two horse race, many have put up large amounts of money on the favorite to win a small amount, you guys are mad if you think the bookie lose money, it's like saying that the lottery guys lose money when some one wins a few million, when millions have paid for tickets,many more then one.

The bookie makes money because their are enough mugs out there to back the favourite. The bookie hates people like us lot, who know better than them.Anzi wrote:For the odd person who has a go on the outsider in a two horse race, many have put up large amounts of money on the favorite to win a small amount, you guys are mad if you think the bookie lose money, it's like saying that the lottery guys lose money when some one wins a few million, when millions have paid for tickets,many more then one.

And there's a thread on here 'betting thread' where people who know all about boxing and work out odds very well still get caught out week in and week out.

Re: Khan vs Collazo on floyd card
Exactly. The 4 I listed earlier were just a few I remember v well. If anyone has backed Khan to lose against any half decent opponent he's been in against I would guess they would be up a good bit. Prescott was at least 10s, peterson and garcia were 4s. The bookies dont care about his opponentsTheCobra wrote:The bookies haven't got a clue about boxing, none of them will give boxing enough priority to have someone employed just to do boxing odds, there aren't enough fights - so they'll have some guy who has to cover maybe 5-10 minor sports and try and price them all up. Good for us.

To be fair, there are a lot of people who do really well in there and make great calls when fights are priced wrong.palooka wrote:And there's a thread on here 'betting thread' where people who know all about boxing and work out odds very well still get caught out week in and week out.
