I would make Vitali around the 1/50 too. I mean Khan is normally around 1/10 for anyone he fights (he's 1/4 against an opponent who's just beat him) so to lump them in the same bracket is wrong

Depends on how you calculate value. Betting long odds on is not always a mugs option. I make Vitali about a 1/50 shot for this so 1/12 is good value.

Let's look at the plain facts, the only way Vitali can lose this fight is if he gets injured. Chisora is not a big puncher and Vitali has arguably the best chin in the history of heavyweight boxing having never been down in his career. Chisora will never get a points decision in Germany even if he wins every round which he won't as he is vastly inferior technically to Vitali.

Your 100% correct with this but in a risk/reward equation i still account for the fact that 1 correct punch from a 17 stone professional boxer onto the chin of another man will put him on his arse, klitz probably can evade him for 36 minutes or less but theres always that small chance that stops me risking anything on the short odds.

Fair enough mate, each to their own with gambling. If I lose the 3k it will hurt but it won't bankrupt me, it won't really affect me in terms of my day to day life over the next few days. You have to always gamble with the mindset of never betting what you can't afford to lose and that way you will always be ok. I'm not saying I'd have 3k on everything, far from it, but I just cannot envisage any realistic scenario in which Vitali won't win this fight. If he loses I'll be back here to admit I was wrong.

Fair play, im typically a very bad gambler so i now only use it as a form of entertainment, used to bet big but it looses its entertainment value and becomes more of a squeeky arse one once you punt above a certain level.

Hope you come through this one unscathed.

Thanks mate. Are you getting involved in the fight? I was tempted to take the 1/3 on a Vitali stoppage but Del Boy has a decent chin and may just look to survive like he did against Fury once he realises he can't win.

Pay for a nice Sunday lunch if it happens.

Don't know much about Galihand but Eubank Jnr and Vitali should oblige there I'd have thought. 5/1 is ok value.
