Floyd is only -8000. Good scrap. Can't wait for this.

Will you be placing a wager on the -8000 line?

Umm. No. What's he gonna be -800 to win by DEC. Lmao. What a joke.

Could be worse. I'm seeing Kovalev at -10000 right now. Where do you see the odds for FMJ vs Berto?

-10000 has been about the norm for a lot of fights last couple months. That's how good the fights have been.

Berto has no chance in my mind.But it would be a nice payout for a Berto upset.

So many better fights with good odds surely will pass.

I checked the odds and Floyd is 80-1 on yet berto is only 16-1 surely berto should be longer odds

Sportsbooks rarely give better than that for a straight up bet on an underdog, but it depends on the book. Once you have such a big favorite, the odds will become very disproportionate.

That's what you call a crooked book. That you should never use. If you're gonna gamble online there's 3 books you should use. 5Dimes, Bookmaker, Heritage. You will get representative value on both ends of your wager, not hiked up favorites with crap return on the dog. at -8000, Berto should be at least +3000 on the return. And +3500 ideally.

Diddy I know you follow the bookies on this stuff.I have no idea how to even place a bet at a bookie.
I like side bets with friends.I just have never understood how the bookie deal all works.

You have to have the money liquid to bet online. You cant bet what you dont have in your account. It's not difficult. Put in $500 and go from there. What dont you understand exactly? How to deposit? What the odds mean? What do you mean?

5 dimes is probably the best one because of the amount of boxing lines, what u think of bovada

The odds are what I do not understand.
the -8000 + 3000
I do not understand how there can be that much difference.I would not know if I was placing
a sucker bet with the odds.

If the odds are a negative number, you have to risk that amount to win $100. If it is a positive number, you can win that amount for each $100 risked.
So, in this case, you would have to risk $8,000 on Mayweather to win $100 or risk $100 on Berto to win $3,000.

Thank You
I am kind of sheltered even in my old age.

I suggest you don't start now. That's my advice.

No I promise I will not.

If you dont know how to seamlessly read odds, stay away. Very far away.

Bovada is terrible for boxing. 5Dimes is an elite book. Customer service is meh but I dont care about that. They give me what I want and thats flexibility and betting options. I can parlay whatever I want in any sport, no other book comes close to that. And they pay out in a timely fashion with no hassles. I have cashed out over 50K in the last yr with no haggling.

Whats the withdrawal options with 5 dimes

Fed Ex Checks up to $7500. Arrives within 3 days usually. One check per month is free. There's a $40-80 fee for any other checks taken out within 30 days. I have been taking out roughly $5000 per month for almost the last year. They send you Canadian bank checks. Clears within 24 hours. No questions. No issues.

Debit Card Funds Application. Basically a wire transfer. Fees are included (roughly $50) unless you only do 1 per month. Then it's free. Max wire transfer is $2500. You can do them every 4-5 days if you want but will pay fees after the first one.

They also do p2p. Moneygram. Western Union. But you'd have to be a complete f'n moron to go through this hassle. DONT do it. The ONLY benefit is you get the cash instant. But the max is $900 and the teller is prone to ask questions you don't want to have to answer. So save yourself the trouble. If you can't wait a few days to get your money - you should not be gambling.

I'll never play anywhere but 5Dimes. I love them. If you're a boxing player or a UFC/MMA player, it's the book for you.

depositing 5k from Canadian checks each month...how do you deal with *ahem*

Keep them under 5K and your bank won't ever alert the IRS. They aren't even allowed to ask, by law, what the checks are for. Since they're certified courier checks. I gamble outside of the country. The U.S. has no jurisdiction. Only for those that gamble within the States. That's a whole different ball game.

Isn't making multiple deposits under the 10k mark known as structuring or smurfing?
Which is a felony in all 50 states.Just curious because I just saw a story on this recently
