£50 down the drain or a fair chance of £636 profit ?

Kovalev
Klitschko
Pacquaio
DeGale
Cleverly
Fury
Eubank Jr
C Smith
Lomachenko

All to win

£50 pays out £686.00 ( £636.00 profit )

There's a few risky ones but there's a good chance of them all coming in right ?

not good odds considering how many wins you need

Eubank/Clev being the risky ones

id do it for 20/1 no less

Good bet, the 3 your have worry about are clev v bellow-50/50 fight, eubank is defo an underdog v saunders and while kovalev is favorite you can never write off hopkins! If these fights go your way your laughing.

Poor bet, too many fights for that sort of return. Lomachenko, Smith and Pacquiao should all win, as should DeGale and Klitschko, however this is boxing where nothing is guaranteed, then you have Kovalev, Cleverly, Fury and Eubank Jr who are all potential bannana skins. Doubt all 9 fights come off for you.

£50 on a Hopkins/Chisora double would get you a return of over £500 - throw in either one of Cleverly or Bellew for the treble and you'll get a return of over £1000. I'd rather spend it this way.

Would you not be better off doing a couple of accumulators?

I cannot imagine why anyone bets against Popkins at this stage of the game. The more money is bet against him, the more likely he is to win.

That doesn't look a good bet to me. If you win, you can give me two fingers.

Well I looked at it as 5 dead certs and 4 risky ones where I honestly believe the ones I've chosen will win, fury and cleverly won the first and I can't see any reason why they shouldn't win the rematch, I believe Eubank junior wouldn't of taken this fight unless he and his team where 100% confident and Kovalev has to beat hopkins, if the big punching russain can't get the 49 year old man out of there then I deserve to lose my £50

Hopkins and chisora won't win that's why they are giving you that great price, good luck if you do it though

Don't do it. Fury isn't winning. Don't ask me how I know but I do.

What you mean change one or two of my risky ones ? Like bjs instead of Eubank and/or cleverly with bellew, I thought about it but there's so many combinations. I'm happy with what I've got and hopefully the bet is still on come the 29th of November !

I thought that 8 weeks ago, but have twice seen chisora in Mayfair after midnight, his hearts not in it again trust me

Right - ESP Eubank.

I think Clev is not a bad bet, he looked much better than Bellend in their last fights.

That's just him, though. He doesn't really drink and is up in the dark running every morning.

I think looking at the bet, the best advice I could give would be to take £25 and set fire to it. Send me £10 for the advice, Keep the other £15 for your self and go out for a few beers.

You will have saved yourself a trip to the bookies and had a good night into the bargain and made me a happy man. Its a win win situation. Somewhat unlike the bet you have planned.

To be getting a little over 12/1 for that bet is, I feel, really poor value.

He's only won 9 of his last 15 fights. People are quick to think of him outclassing a blown up Pavlik years ago or beating Cloud 8-4, yet they seem to forget the less favorable moments, like Dawson dominating him, the lackluster showings against Jones Jr. and Ornales, and his multiple trips to the canvas and moments on jelly legs against Pascal.

Terrible bet imo mate, relatively high stake for fairly low reward. Far too many things could potentially go wrong, I've lost count of the amount of similar accumulated bets where just 1 result messed it all up.

I agree with most. Far too many close fights to be confident of winning.

I mean the eubank fight alone you are backing the under dog.

imo you will get at least 3 fights wrong!

why not go for a bit of value like if you fancy eubank to win go for the K.O. and maybe fury k.o.
and degale k.o. you can spend around half the bet money and possibly get more back

That's not a bad shout ! DeGale will probably let me down though !

By the way everyone the bet was placed on Sunday !
