Me too mate. I had £10 on Klitschko and Quigg. Was telling the missus 'that 90 quid is going to come in...oh fuck'

I knew Selby was always going to points after listening to Walsh on iFilm there was no way he was getting KO'd, I just had to hope Povetkin and Salinas survived which they both did.

Unlucky m8, I would have been laying a bit off Quigg was short as 1/5 in play.
I had a few quid on Quigg on points and thought about laying in play but it I just couldn't tell how it was going to pan out with Quigg coming on strong late on so I left it alone.

Alexander evens with sportingbet
Khan 11/8 with Betfred

Seems if you think Khan will win, you can hedge on Alexander and the draw at 25/1 and still not lose anything if Alexander beats him...and make a 14 per cent margin risk-free on Khan if Amir does do it.

Anyone take advantage of different bookies going with odds against lines for each guy before? Must be a killing to be made here if you're sharp enough and can predict a swing...and get the bookie to take a huge bet of course.

Wow, noone interested in free money^ :o
To be fair, you'd have to be a high roller to make it worth the hassle of moving money around, and you'd also have to rely on both bookies taking a huge bet. Still shocked that these odds are still around and noone has seen it.
I think there actually is a high roller on the current scene who claimed to have dropped $10,000 on Povetkin...maybe he would be interested

Perhaps the fact that there is a high probability that this won't go ahead is putting folk off which would mean the bookies get a nice interest free loan until Christmas.

Plus the bookies that you had the winning side of the bet with would probably cancel/ limit your account.

Don't understand why it's all gone quiet. Need this fight in my accumulator and Alexander is going to win, no problems.

Funny the bookies' line on this one. It's almost like they said 'Ah, people think Khan has no chance! Well, we're not getting caught out again, and uh, we read a few forums and, uh, 'styles make fights'! So we're opening Khan at evens!'

Uh, thanks for the free money on Alexander guys.

Fancy Bradley to beat Marquez this weekend at 11/8. I expected more like 10/11 the pair of them.

I'll wait and see what size Marquez is at the weigh in before I make a decision, if he looks as big as he did on the scales against Pacquiao I fancy him to stop Bradley.

I'm staying clear of that fight from a betting perspective. The only result I can't make a case for is a Bradley stoppage win, any other result could easily come through.

This was originally priced up in the probability that the fight would take place in dubai, if it now goes ahead it'll be in Brooklyn, Alexander should of been cut on the back of this.

I didn't really know a lot about either, but based on their boxrec records it does seem a strange price.

That's going to be an awesome fight. Two lads that come for a scrap. If it goes the distance it will be tighter than people think on the scorecards. They know each other inside out having sparred for a number of years.

Casey to win. Provodnikov and Frampton by stoppage pays just over 6-1 with skybet.
