David Price and £50,000

[jizzle]

So a punter had £50,000 on Price to win in 4 rounds...What sort of return would he/she (most likely the former) got?

[smoggy7188]

bout 200-300k

[Pretty_Boy]

I had £50 on Pricey within 4 rounds and got £162.50 so i'm guessing he got a return around £162,500......Nice!!

[Finn]

yeah i was was willing the guy to win his money as soon as they mentioned that. Someone must have told price because he stepped up a gear and had sexton out cold pretty sharpish ha ha. It was probably jamie carrager

[smoggy7188]

ud think 4th round would get u decent odds however the money flew in for Price in 4 so around 6/1 would have been the price.

[Terminator666]

Makes me wonder if Price could have got the job done earlier? ;;-)

[TheCobra]

The way Price seemed to go into 'I want a KO' mode in the 4th round, methinks it might have been Price himself! Definitely think it might have been someone very close to Price, he turned on the turbo in round 4 and you could just tell he was going to get him out of there.

[dookus]

To be fair, the bet was 'inside 4', not 'in round 4'

I suppose that gave him the leeway if there were any 'accidents' in the earlier rounds,

[The Insider]

If I had 50k at my disposal I'd have done the same (probably not inside 4 though). I had a sizable bet on the stoppage @ 4/9. It's not unheard of for boxers to lay a few quid on themselves.

I thought it was only illegal for a boxer to bet on himself to lose?

Dont think so, they investigate haye because they thought he may have bet on himself to win in the 3rd against harrison.

Fair enough, it would be a bit hard to trace if someone put a bet on for a fighter, on the fighters behalf though wouldnt it...

When I worked at a pub in Sheffield in 2002, some bloke bet £15,000 on France to beat Senegal.
That put me off ever betting more than £50 on anything.

He was distraught, came into the pub and looked like he was contemplating suicide.

I think it may have been his life savings.

I used to work in a bookies, which put me off anything other than 'fun bets'. The amounts I have seen people lose and then thier faces afterwards, it's just not worth it. Rule number one of gambling, only ever gamble what you can afford to lose!

"David Price and £50,000"

I thought it was a poker bet.

Well, I'll see your David Price and £50,000 and I'll raise you Tye Fields, Kubrat Pulev and tube of smarties.

Always bear in mind that some huge bets are other bookies laying money off. If they've taken a lot of money in smaller bets on an inside 4 rounds victory, for example, they may look to protect themselves by backing the same outcome with other bookmakers.

Good point.

Or lay it off with a bookmaker that offers better odds.
