Have you watched ONE fights Ricky? Give that a go on YouTube, by far the best fights going just now. The Muay Thai with 4oz gloves is class and the MMA fights have better rules than UFC which makes for more action.

I'll give jt a bash mate, ufc is torture just now. I need to be able to bet on fights though to feed my interest, it's hard getting markets for more obscure stuff.

Surely ONE, based in Singapore and Thailand is a big betting game?

You'd be surprised how bad coverage is for combat sports. I couldn't even get a bet on the first televised fight on the Dubois BT card last night.

I don’t bet at all mate, mugs game imo.

I thought you were knocking it on the head? I watch the fights to see good battles and high skill level. Last fight I bet on was kelly pavlik to win by KO against Taylor. Was happy with that win.

Have you tried 5 Dimes?

I should tbh, especially with no income wt the moment

It's in my blood though, some people smoke, some drink, I gamble. The only time I don't have a bet in is when I'm asleep. Betting on fights tends to be the real place I win. Had Dubois won in round 1 last night I would've won about £600. Fvcking Marcus McDonnell

I see mate. One if the worst things to have in your blood. I’ve a mate plays for a prem club and can blow 50k in a night of gambling. Keeps telling me it’s in his blood too: I can’t be arsed with him asking me for loans anymore.

Close mate of mine lost his business to it, he reckons bout 220k he lost in less than a year. He actually rolled about 2k up to 65k at a high point and took his mrs out to dinner to tell her... then he fvcking lost the lot less than 3 days later.

It’s a choice though isn’t it, they are addicted to the buzz. The adrenaline and the ones I know are also addicted to the horrible feeling of losing.

So easy to replace the adrenaline with something else but they don’t want to. Would rather lose the house and make the wife and kids homeless. For a buzz.

Well, I can't say I'm addicted to losing

The real danger of gambling is chasing losses. I've had some pretty dark nights where I've had a play on some online slots and what starts as a bit of boredom has got way out of control. 1 night last summer I stuck £40 into SkyVegas and lost it within 10 minutes. I was annoyed at losing, felt like it was rigged against me (the usual thought process). So i put another £40 in to try and win it back. Then again. By the end of the night I was £1400 down chasing loss after loss. I put another £600 in, figured may aswell round it up. Thankfully i hit a few winners and got out with about £30 profit in the end, but when i was in the hole for 4 figures i was pig sick.

You should get it out of your life. Online slots are rigged against you ffs! That’s obvious

Well, they are, but i play them for fun with a couple of quid here and there... i enjoy the bonuses and stuff. I actually hit some big wins last year on them, there was 2 nights in a row i withdrew around 1k from £5 spins. I've self-excluded from slots now though, they quickly turn from "but of fun" to "digging a hole".
