Interpolic Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 OK, am I missing something here? I've never bet on boxing so I'm not sure. Mayweather is 1/5 to win the fight tonight, a big favourite. He's now 1/2 to win on points. He's 25/1 to win in Round 1, Round 2... Round 12, etc. So if I whacked a quid on each round, isn't there a really decent chance of doubling my money? Obviously the alternatives are a Mosley win and a points win for Mayweather, but surely a KO is vaguely likely tonight. That was 33/1 for each round earlier on today btw, so it was more like almost trebling your money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Mayweather's not known for knockouts? EDIT: One knockout in last 5 bouts, and that spans over 5 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think it's worth a punt mind but I've lost loads of money today so what do I know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugazi Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 One of the matches on my accy is Gent-Truidense, but upon checking this match doesn't seem to exist today, on my skybet account it says it's being played today. Hmmmm Gent seem to be playing Kortrijk Yeah it doesn't make sense, there aren't any other Belgian fixtures today either. All my other picks have won (Salzburg are the last ones, 4-1 up), will I still get my money? They appear to be playing Truiden on Wednesday so you'll have a nice little wait on your hands. Skybet have paid out now for some reason, the date of the gent match is 01/05/2010 on there, looks like they've fucked up there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David28 Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 So happy I've stuck to what I've said that I wouldn't bet again this season (Champions League aside). Was just about to drive to the petrol station and get me a paysafe card to put money on my bet365 account but drunk 2 beers now so I'm not allowed to drive anymore.

Midds: aye that's a fair point, on the same list Sampdoria, although they should be favourites at home to Livorno, are 1/8. Hmm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
