is there anyone that thinks this isnt a good bet?

19/5 on betfair for hatton to KO pac.

that is cracking odds for what to my mind is a 50-50 fight. pac is way overrated with the bookies cos of his "P4P no 1" status.

saying all this, i need some moral support that this is a good idea, because im still emotionally scarred from the 250 quid i lost on margarito cotto fight - havent bet since. you can imagine my thoughts on the wraps scandal.

i dont work for these guys or anything but i used to work in the industry and i know others here like a bet, so if you havent signed up to any of these bookies u get free money basically as they are relying on you becoming an addict and lining their pockets for a while:

make a 10 quid bet, get 15 back :good

[dwilson]

Put a grand on it.

[Beeston Brawler]

:lol:

19/5 is about fair I'd say.

Can't believe you lost a grand on Marg vs Cotto..... I left that one alone, but had I been forced, Marg by stoppage every time!

Oooooft. I'd be tempted to fly over to mexico and shoot the cheating big bastard :D Try oddschecker.com for a review of all the odds, they also list bookies offers if you hover your cursor over the wee red icon at the top of each bookies name so its fairly easy to essentially double the odds for a bet up to £20 or £25:good Here's the table for method of victory for Pac V Wicky

My betting philosopshy is dont bet on someone because the odds are good, bet on who you think will win.

Means taking smaller wins most of the time, but it works for me.

I'd give pac the edge in this fight, so I'd stay out of that bet!

[digregorio1.]

im going for hatton by KO purely because pac is crap going backwards and ricky is a big guy who i think will put him on the back foot so i reckon its worth £20, dnt bet what u cant afford to lose.

[9Ball]

For me these are pickem fights so I wouldn't bet on it.

[BigEars]

For me it's the most likely conclusion to how the bout will end, so from that point of view 19/5 is a great bet.

[noonan]

19/4 thats almost 4-1 get in!!

[Smurker]

Yea, that's more like the odds that i got about a week ago on Betfair. They phoned me up giving me a £20 covered loss bet so plumbed for Hatton KO anyround. £82return including my stake :D

Oooooo.... I'd go for all of these.

None of them are fighting the best in their division (ok, that's very, very disingenous about the Hatton fight, but still...).

I believe that Froch is absolutely nailed on (I like Taylor, but his punch and Taylor's recent showings - how he's put off by power - makes this a sure thing for me); Khan has too much skill for Kotelnik (I wouldn't rule out a late stoppage, but nine times out of ten I would take Khan - he's a world class fighter, all the skills in the world, but could lose to a Ross Purritty - but WK ain't done so badly); Haye, well.... I think he's our most talented fighter since Naz... but with a poorer chin but tougher metanlly - he'll win, but I'll bet money rathr than mi balls on it; then hatton... I really think he'll win BUT we really dunno whther Hatton is back to his pre to just post Tszyu brilliance and whether Pac rwally takes the weight (his ODLH win was still brilliant, even if Oscar couldn't quite pull the trigger).

I'll go for four UK wins. Froch and Haye I'll def bet on. They're the new Naz and Lennox.

[9Ball]

I could see Froch being the better fighter but it will be close and so the judges could do a number on Froch - always back the home fighter ;)

Hatton will be much quicker than ODLH was so he will have some success against Pac. It all depends on how much, cos Pac will be the one catching the eye of the judges for probably the first two thirds of the fight. Hattons only way of winning is by ko and I reckon Pac has too much skill for that to happen.

Khan will have way too much speed for Kotelnik and I agree with Mook on a possible late stoppage win for Khan.

The Haye fight could go either way. If he goes in all guns blazing and walks onto one before catching up with WK it could all end in disaster. If not this could end up being a real barnstormer with several knockdowns all the way to a ko win for Haye.

But to be honest gambling is a mugs game imo so I won't be betting any of my hard earned yorkshire cash.
If I had to I would bet on Khan but none of the others, too many ways for one of them to go wrong.

Ok, maybe it's just me... but, even with the chance of a hometown decision, I just don't see Taylor beating froch.

I (nearly) always won dough on LL and Khan (I had a huge win on Holyfield vs tyson 1, but only cos the odds were ridiculous on holy), and I see Froch and Haye being in the same league.

World class, marvellous fighters.

I've dared the general forum on avatar bets this weekend. anyone willing to bet on brit forum?


i'm betting on froch by stoppage? If he wins on points, draws, or loses, I lose the bet. DQ or TD, we call the bet void. Who is up for that?

[UndisputedUK]

I cannot see Hatton losing, especially at 140lbs.
Those body shots have done away with a lot of opponents, what will they do to a blown up Flyweight? HATTON BIG!

I can see Froch probably winning - I think Taylor is crap. I think this fight goes the distance or a Froch stoppage. Never know with the judges. FROCH but maybe a home town decision. Perhaps even a DRAW.

Haye has to jump on WK straight away and knock him out or he loses. If you think about it logically with your head rather than heart, Haye is getting stopped here. WLAD via beating.

Khan, it's scripted for him to win, but Kotelnik can KO him no probs.
KOTELNIK wins fight on a stoppage. Although Khan "isn't supposed to lose".

:lol: I will take your Avatar bet as a straight bet Mookhound - If Froch wins I will have his pic on my ava, if Taylor wins you have his... :good

I know what you mean about Taylor, has really flattered to decieve in some of his recent fights. However, this is his last chance to get back in with the big boys (so to speak). He was clearly outgunned by Pavlik and it showed in his performance. If you remember the best of Taylor when he beat Hopkins and put that in with Froch I think it will a lot closer than you think. Taylor is going to be well up for this and is a better fighter than he is given credit for.
Don't get me wrong, I would like to see Froch win, he was brilliant(but flawed) against Pascal but I just see Taylor being too skillfull for Frochy this time. Froch's only chance is to make it a slugfest again.

What's the odds for this?

I'd happily back it with a tenner.

[djoc175]

Froch is a banker in my eyes-Someone said they found 11/10...what bookie was offering this?Anybody?
