David Price and £50,000

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?

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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...kingfinn wrote:Dont think so, they investigate haye because they thought he may have bet on himself to win in the 3rd against harrison.Sportofkings wrote:I thought it was only illegal for a boxer to bet on himself to lose?kingfinn wrote:

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!Livingstone Cole wrote: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.

"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.

Good point.MachoMan09 wrote: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.
