Well with a punt - might join you

Who are you getting those odds with I can only get 69/1 on sky bet

That was on the ladbrokes site mate.

Probably been asked a million times but I'm setting up my first betting account, only want to have 1, who is best to go with for boxing??

Thinking of doing: Ryder, Linares KO/TKO, Selby PTS, Brook KO/TKO and AJ/Johnson either over 6 rounds or 6-12KO/TKO

Have a look at a few and see what offers they are doing. A few will be offering enhanced prices on the fa cup final or free matched bets on your first stake.

Not trying to be nosey but what is your first bet value going to be?

Just double checked that I hadnt made any mistakes, you had me worried incase Id put AJ on to get KOd by accident or anything silly but my bet is definitely as I said. Odds 118.-1 (118.12-1)

Ended up doing this accy which is just one of those i've got a lucky feeling long shot bets where i've gone for the 6 fold on the 7


And this one which is me using my head and picking the most likely outcomes that have any decent odds -

[Supremo]

Selby by decision 5/6 is a cracking bet

That's looks a good bet

Anyone know who the referee and judges are for the Selby v Gradovich fight?

[Tarkus]

Although I was destroyed in the poll I made about Khan stopping Algieri, far be it from me to be persuaded by a popular opinion. I think betting on point in this fight is gold:

Main bet - Khan to win by points 3/2
Hedge - Algieri to win 9/1

100% return baby!

If you had Selby to win points, where does that leave you? I had a few quid on him, but the bookeis are calling my bet as a loss even though Lee Selby won on points!

Should win it, technical decision is a points win, usually says by decision or technical decision. Chase them a bit and you should get the money.

Chatted to a Betfair live chat person, they stated that they class technical decisions as a technical stoppage and pay out like they would do for a stoppage

Wankers. I'll chase it up properly, especially if other bookies are paying out on it

Should be easy to get the money from them if that's the explanation, they're trying to rewrite the rules with that one.

Some bookies (Skybet for example) put in brackets next to the points win price "Goes full distance".

Some put "Technical decision or points decision" - these would pay on a result such as the Selby fight.

It's worth looking out for...... If not it should be in the boxing specific rules

[dannyhalifax]

Tarkus all your profit over the last few weeks blown!

[bruthead]

Sky and Betfair sportsbook don't pay out a technical decision as a points win but pay it as a KO/TKO/DQ. At least Sky phrase it in a comprehensible way, Betfair is totally unclear, especially because Betfair exchange has different rules.

[Deadendgeneration]

Seeing Geale at 4/1 to beat Cotto. Worth a punt?

I took it on the sports book anyway. It's ok, I'm not too annoyed, I only had the wager to keep it interesting, I was expecting that one to be pretty boring
