Tempting but I will keep my bet to what I've got already thanks ;;-)Broomhall wrote:I think looking at the bet, the best advice I could give would be to take £25 and set fire to it. Send me £10 for the advice, Keep the other £15 for your self and go out for a few beers.
You will have saved yourself a trip to the bookies and had a good night into the bargain and made me a happy man. Its a win win situation. Somewhat unlike the bet you have planned.
£50 down the drain or a fair chance of £636 profit ?

For any of you who fancy just a 3 man accumulator and confident in Hopkins (underdog) Chisora (underdog ) and BJS (favorite) all to win your get 14/1 !!

The only one i would change is Clev V Bellew,i think Bellew is better suited to the weight.jessi wrote:Kovalev
Klitschko

Cleverly
Fury
Eubank Jr
C Smith
Lomachenko
All to win
£50 pays out £686.00 ( £636.00 profit )
There's a few risky ones but there's a good chance of them all coming in right ?
Re: £50 down the drain or a fair chance of £636 profit ?
Was going to say the same thing. Bellew has had tougher opposition and despatched them impressively. I think he should be slight fav going into this but at the same time I don't think he wins a belt unfortunately.bigjack wrote:The only one i would change is Clev V Bellew,i think Bellew is better suited to the weight.jessi wrote:Kovalev

I agree,i think he will stop Clev,but get no further with regards to winning meaningful belts.danamba7 wrote:Was going to say the same thing.

I tend to never go above 5 results in an accumulator, no matter how much they seem like dead certs.
Good luck and I hope you win but I really think Hopkins is going to pull off the "shock"

Re: £50 down the drain or a fair chance of £636 profit ?
I've never placed a bet in my life but for £50 I think I'd be wanting at least £1k back for that little lot.
Of course there is a solid case for each of those wins to come in, but you only need a cut eye or shitty decision to eff things up.
Good luck though!

Re: £50 down the drain or a fair chance of £636 profit ?
If you shop around a £50 double on both Fury and Eubank Jr to win by decision would get you a return of £600 or more.
Good luck with your bet, whatever happens i hope you get a good run for your money.

The key to sports betting, is not betting on what you think will happen, but rather on the value odds; IE where you think the bookies have given you too big a price.
I lose more individual bets than I win, but I have made profit every year for 14 years, expect one when I ignore that rule and the other one of betting when drinking!
Nothing life changing, but on average I make £1,500-£2,000 a year.
Not going to change my life, but no tax, provides fun, and buys a holiday a year for me. One year I bought a pedigree dog with my winnings. I adore him.

My father in law is a bookie. Used to manage a shop and have a pitch at a local dog track. He is "retired" now. Spends 8 hours a day online on Betfair! Turnover of well over a million, earnt 70k last year. He is a wasted talent, he would have made a good trader.

Can't you copy bet him ?

hi reggaeregae
any value bets coming up? not followed/seen any of your tips since that nice prize fighter win you gave me - thanks !
moving on - the original poster, for the sake of £5, why don't you "cover the bet" and the 3 possible bets that could go wrong
u could pick the other boxers to get your stake money back plus a little extra.?
on a side note, how many punters on here "cover the bet" with smaller bets to get their larger stake money back if it "blows out"?

Hopkins, chisora and Eubank jnr all to win 17/1
Re: £50 down the drain or a fair chance of £636 profit ?
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely see why you'd think Kovalev is going to win, but that doesn't mean if be brave enough to bet against him. You just don't know when he's going to produce another vintage performance. Kovalev hits hard, but that isn't really the recipe to beat Hopkins, and I think he's a live underdog. I certainly wouldn't put any money on the line against him.crusader wrote:He's only won 9 of his last 15 fights. People are quick to think of him outclassing a blown up Pavlik years ago or beating Cloud 8-4, yet they seem to forget the less favorable moments, like Dawson dominating him, the lackluster showings against Jones Jr. and Ornales, and his multiple trips to the canvas and moments on jelly legs against Pascal.SamWise72 wrote:I cannot imagine why anyone bets against Popkins at this stage of the game.

I WISH kovalev was the underdog. He's a 2/5 favourite though. He's going to look like a 1/8 favourite in the ring.SamWise72 wrote:Don't get me wrong, I absolutely see why you'd think Kovalev is going to win, but that doesn't mean if be brave enough to bet against him.

1 down 8 to go
Probably my 4th biggest risk behind Eubank junior, fury and cleverly out of the way !

Kovalev was the safest pick of the lot, mate.

That last point is key to winning too. Boxing can be a decent sport to bet on as the bookies don't invest much resource into it and are swayed by reputation.lillywhite14 wrote:I tried that for a while but it did my head in!

I followed the men's athletics closely for a season and made a killing, 400m especially. League of Ireland was also good for a season. Hard work and time consuming though
