I had to Google to find out who he was. No I'm definitely and my soon to be ex-wife would assure you that I'm not funny.Teddy's Toupee wrote: ↑23 Aug 2023, 09:03The so-called "Comedian".
What made you think I was him? Is he also making an ill advised bet this weekend?

All seems a bit quiet considering there’s a Brit fighting for 3 world titles this Saturday.
I haven’t see a great deal or media/press for it.

Wouldnt do £4k on Usyk but it is hard to see big D getting the win here.
Just hope he puts it on the Ukrainian for 4 rounds and see what he can land.
Think i said it before but surely they have Dubois *empty the tank* early doors and then just throw in the towel when Usyk starts teeing off on him around the mid way point.

A nice touch by Warren to send support to the Ukrainian war effort and acknowledge the difficulties Uysk and his countrymen and women are facing.
And what a relief to see a relaxed press conference after the diabolical Logan Paul/KSI/Fury/Dillon sh*t show.

Cant remember Usyk getting an early KO ever but I think he might do Dubois in a couple or 3 rounds

A bloke came in - he'd bet £10,000 on France to score against Senegal (pretty sure that was the bet -- or some other practically 99.9% odds on thing).
I would not have wanted to have been him later that day, explaining to his wife.

Really looking forward to seeing how Usyk takes a big one on the chops, because Dubois will land at least one I’m sure of it.

you will prob get filled at 1.13 on Betfair, or you can take 1.12 now. £509 return (1.13) so an extra £109 for your stated £4k bet after the 2% commisson.
I sometimes wander onto WallStreetBets sub on reddit, and there moderators delete posts where the poster doesn't upload a copy of their trade.
Good luck to all having a bet.
