I'll look into Ohmbet May, never heard of that book. Is it US-facing?

I got floyd KO, TKO or DQ at -125 today. I think I would honestly bet about 50% of my net worth on this if I could get it down. Also floyd round 1, 2 or 3 at about +1600 each. I wouldnt be shocked at all if floyd finishes it that early.

I'm seeing -118 at one of the aussie books for TKO and +600 for a corner/doctor stoppage. Both seem tempting.

Tko includes corner/doctor stoppage, correct?
Mayweather v. McGregor Quote
08-24-2017 , 07:37 PM
Yeah, any stoppage of that nature is a TKO

Have Conor Round 1 and Floyd Round 3 and 4 at 1800.

he would have to be careful what kind DQ though. all sorts of stips in the contract where Mcgregor's purse gets ransacked if he pulls any funny ****.

so happy i was able to put down some big money on Floyd within the distance at -135 a week ago. i literally have 15 different bets on Floyd on all sorts of odds and scenarios from floyd win at -700 to floyd over 40% connect, Mcgregor under 40% connect, & floyd win at -250.

i did hedge on Mcgregor though. He's gonna win me a lot of money on this twitter prop since he's out tweeting the **** out of Mayweather this month!!!! Fook your twitter game floyd!

Threw 50 on Floyd by 12 round dec and Conor in 1st 4 for ****s n giggles.
Assume this is gonna be a lopsided victory but hoping Conor can at least make it fun to watch for a bit in the early rounds while Floyd dances around n out points him for the first 8-10 rounds. Pray for a Conor KO miracle...just for the sheer lolz

I've wound up taking Floyd ITD -135, Floyd -370 and a smaller prop on Floyd by doctor stoppage/conor's corner throwing in towel +600

If Conor can shock the world it's worth losing a couple bets for the lol factor and satisfaction of Floyd being knocked out. Logic should prevail though.

it's an exaggeration to say floyd's price is 'crumbling'. it's still 1.25 on betfair:

100%. Lots of people don't understand the concept of hedging your misery, but it's worked out very well for me over the years. Bet with your head, not your heart. GOGOGOGOGO CM!!!!!

I am still sticking to the plan of waiting until tomorrow.
I just don't like anything besides Floyd straight up. No reason to get fancy when the best bet in your life is handed to you.

You think the price will get better? LOL Best strat was to watch the line and pounce accordingly imo.

Not being a boxing expert I don't know whether the following is a good analogy but I'll throw it out there anyway.

In the homerun derby before the all star game, sluggers routinely hit 500 foot homeruns despite the slower pitch which is theoretically a disadvantage. And the reason of course is that they don't have to hold back as they would, for various reasons, in an actual game. You could thus deduce that singles types hitters, at such an event, would also hit plenty of homeruns of the 400 foot variety, even though they don't hit them very often in games.

In other words I think that Mayweather, besides having a good chance of winning by TKO, could more easily win through a ten count knockout than most people think.

Even weird little things like CM having to fight in SHOES have to add up. The guy fights barefoot and trains barefoot. It's gotta be totally weird to put shoes on and fight a guy who feels at home wearing them.

I don't really get the baseball analogy but I wouldn't be at all shocked if Floyd knocks him out cold. I took 3 bets that He'll win in the first, second or third round each at +1700ish, and rounds 1-8 even odds. Its unlikely of course but I could see Floyd knocking him out like 20 seconds into the second round. He's going to get some really clean shots in you have to think. I don't CM has the discipline or patience not to full on attack and everyone knows about FM's counter punching skills.

Bro we're talking about the very best or at worst second best boxer of ALL TIME up against a guy in his first boxing match ever. I don't think shoes are too much of a factor here lol.


I have been getting down more and more on this fight; into five figures now. Still going to add some more if I can. My absolute favorite bet so far; parlayed Floyd straight up with under 9.5 rounds. Most places don't let you do this but a well known "family" of books let me pop them on two different accounts with it. Came out to roughly -130. So its the same as the KO, TKO, DQ bet, which I'm seeing at -170 to -220. I did get -125 on bovada which is unreal but not for much $$. I have a feeling this account will be limited to peanuts soon even though I'm sharing with a noob.

I can't wait for this fight. Every single Mayweather fight I get jacked up for it, it's an immense disappointment, I tell myself I will never order another one again, and then I always do. I will be doing this forever.

He had a replica ring built to the one he'll be fighting in and said that nothing was overlooked - even the tension in the ropes. I'm pretty sure he'll be used to fighting in shoes come fight time.
