I thought it was 60/40 Blanco's favour to be honest before hand.

Unlucky. You really saw the value in the price though, that was a great opening price. Cashing in is a hard choice to make often

I'm not a tipster, just a recreational bettor. And I don't recall you sending me money as a tout for gambling advice, so not sure what your problem is. I only posted two bets for this weekend, one fight got cancelled and one prop bet lost a measly forty dollars. Whoop-de-doo. I didn't see you or anyone give props when I "tipped" Murat Gassiev as a +170 underdog or Denis Shafikov in Russia as a small -160 favorite a couple of weekend ago or Joseph Parker by decision at +241 last week which all won. Not to mention Crawford/Molina Under 8½ rounds at evens (+100). No one is going to win every bet. Feel free to post your own analysis & pre-fight bets and actually contribute something worthwhile to the forum instead of talking nonsense afterwards.

Are you daft? Laughing smilies... you must be joking now. I have no idea why he felt it necessary to call me out nor why you felt that you needed to put your worthless opinion in the mix. Maybe it's you two guys who are on the rag if you're so up on teen girl passive aggressive smiley etiquette.

JimGunn has thrown up a few good bets over the past month or two. He's been far more successful than I have been this year.

Yeah I only bet big if the odds significantly out weigh the likelihood, who wouldn't take 5/1 on a coin a flip.

Paddy Power are great they price up low key events early, but luckily for me they wouldn't allow me to place the £300 I asked for.

JimGunn has thrown up a few good bets over the past month or two. He's been far more successful than I have been this year.
Firstly - I was clearly joshing, to get so upset at a forum post from a stranger also shows that BobbyGunn doesn't have the temperament for betting - you need a cool head, not be an angry hot head who throws their ticket on the floor.

Secondly - 1 or 2 good tips out of ten are no use to anyone. You need consistency and to make profit over the year. I lose more bets than I win in terms of raw number of bets, but I largely Make a profit over the year, because I bet on longer as value odds and accumulators (parlays for you Mr Gunn.) I am prepared to bet that if I put together all BobbyGunn's bets to date, the balance would be significantly negative. In other words poor choices.

Thirdly - the cardinal rule for betting is: bet on the value odds, not what you think will happen. Bookies generally have a 13-15% spread between 2 probabilities. This is the house advantage and why all bookies seem to stay in business. So if we bet intelligently, we bet on outcomes where we feel a bookie has mispriced an outcome. So eg while Kit lost his bet due to his man getting chinned, it was a great bet to take as 5-1 provided value in what ended up being a 6-4 price before the fight. His man got chinned and that's boxing. But it was a decent bet and if he cashed before the first out he would've made money.

Any questions? :lol:

boxingknockout, my only question would be why you're such an asshole? But it's really more of a rhetorical question because it's clear that you're just a typical internet forum troll contributing nothing but negativity. No one asked your opinion and you took it upon yourself to invoke my name to disparage me out of the blue for no particular reason even though we've had no meaningful interaction before. Maybe you're just immature or bored. You're a joke.
