Re: Boxing thread plays

Believe it or not this is the first time I've ever bet the draw option on a fight

I wonder what the odds would be on you winning a draw the first time you ever bet the prop.

Re: Boxing thread plays

After watching many videos of both fighters this week there is no way I'm betting Pascal and might even throw something small on Hopkins.

Pascal throws wider punches that are no no against a slick counter puncher like Hopkins .Even at 45 I still think Hopkin's hand speed is faster than Pascal's and with Pascal throwing wide puches that should leave plenty of openings for B-hop to land clean punches.

I've also heard alot of talk about how Hopkins cant win a decision in Canada but when looking at the scores of Pascal's last fight with Dawson two judges had the fight scored 106-103 for Pascal. I personally had the fight scored wider than that for Pascal so the judges werent favoring Pascal .

The last thing I disagree with is Hopkins cant keep up with Pascals work rate .While that might be true if the two fighters were just going back and forth trading punches the whole fight that wont be happening tonight . Hopkin's can neutralize a high output puncher with his counter punching (ask Pavlik) . If Hopkins is landing punches early in the fight it will cause Pascal's punch output to go down for sure.

Hopkins must really think he can beat Pascal or he wouldnt have taken the fight in Canada. Hopkins ducked Chad Dawson forever but the second Pascal defeated Dawson B-Hop couldnt wait to fight Pascal .

I might play Hopkins +180 tonight or Hopkins by decision @ +317 tonight

Now we can bump this. Called this fight perfectly .

Hopkins should have got the decision in this fight .

Re: Boxing thread plays

BHop 1.25 units to win 2.375

Really dissapointed that I didn't jump on this fight weeks ago when the line had a lot more value for The Executioner. I've been in a rut lately with boxing since the Pacquaio "Win by Decision" ticket I cashed(Maidana L, Abraham blowoushutoutt, passing on Judah's W), in what has turned out to be a great month or 2 in boxing. I am going a little bit bigger than I would have normally for this fight, b/c I had some $ set aside to bet Klistschko by KO last week which was canceled.

Anyway, as for the fight, I think BHOp's bullying and smothering ways take it tonight. I don't think his height or reach advantage will factor in, but the experience edge is something I do feel can be a differantiator.

Pascal is a good fighter. He's in his prime. I just think the old man gets it done tonight. Yes I am worried about a home crowd bias with respect to the judges, b/c there is no way this fight doesn't go to the scorecards. I just hope the "ooohs" and "ahhhs" and excitement of the crowd, even as Pascal misses, which BHop will make him do, doesn't sway the 3 ringside judges. I hear it's a sellout with over 16,000 fans expected, impressive. I've watched Bute fight, and the Canadians do love themselves some boxing. Pascal's following isn't to that level yet IMO, but it's only a matter of time.

Watch for some dirty boxing, a rough fight, and BHop to frustrate Pascal and earn the decision W.

Enjoy.

This one hurts.

Re: Boxing thread plays

This one hurts.

that was a straight bet man dont you get your money back on a draw?

Its a push on straight bets on 5dimes. The only reason I bet on the draw option is because the other side of "hopkins by decision +317" was "any other result" and draw is considered any other result.

Are you sure thats not a push?

Re: Boxing thread plays

Hi,

There are a number of matches on the weekend, but looks like most my websites are not betting on the fight. There is one that is available which is Hopkins vs Pascal. I'm picking Pascal, which is risky for me as I never bet against the old man. However I think he can lose to Pascal in a close controvesial decision

- High workrate vs hopokins low work rate
- Canadian crowd cheering even when he is missing could sway judges
- Decision may go to the home fighter sometimes in a close fight
- Pascals aggression could be seen as effective by the judges regardless if it is ineffective

1.2 u (1.47) for Pascal
.1 u (34) for Draw

Re: Boxing thread plays

Still cant believe Hopkins won 8 rounds and got a draw...........so gay

[sbjj]

Re: Boxing thread plays

LOL! I had it 114-112 Hopkins, but was still confident they were going to give it ti Paschal. I am actually surprised Hop was able to get a draw in Quebec.

I would say I was on the wrong side of the bet, but a bad decision was one of the main factors in who I bet. Do some of the guy in here think they lost there straight bets? You guys get your money back.
