I was not excited about this fight but hearing about the betting is making me excited. Not excited for the fight itself mind, just for the excitement surrounding it.

It took a ton of negotiating and lots of fancy presents but after speaking with the wife I am now allowed to place a huge bet on the Mayweather fight. I can't bet pro football for 6 weeks if Iose so here we are. Facetimed with the bookie last night and he said the Mayweather fight is now at Floyd -357 I am stunned at how low it is and spent all night making a deal with the wife so I can place a substantial bet on the fight. Confirmed with the bookie that he wont cancel this bet and he also is letting me go over my max limit for this because he is laying off most of the action anyways. I guess he has a ton of people betting loads of money on Conor which blows my mind. So after a new bedroom set, a new dog named floyd by the way (was the only way I would let her get one) and some new privacy landscaping around our lanai, I can now announce my bet.


50k on Mayweather at -357. Largest bet I have ever placed in my life and I am super confident in this bet. I know the fix may be in but the rush will be worth it.

You have found a way to make me interested in a lovely gimmick boxing match (and not even a good Japanese freakshow fight). I salute you sir.

Not at all. I have watched boxing all my life. It went exactly as I told all the people at my house. Conor will gas and floyd will win. Didn't think it would be stopped though I thought floyd would coast to an easy decision. I sweated Robbie Lawlers fight where I won 30k more than this I was that confident or I wouldn't have bet so much.

I was at that lawyer fight! Bought my wife loubitons and she hosed my brains out for the rest of the time in Vegas.

If you look at my betting trend I never bet high favorites it's just not worth it in the long run. I like underdogs or even fights. The few times I did bet a high favorite I lost. I bet manny vs Bradley and Anderson be weidman. Lost both of those and I think the odds were right around the same as this fight.

Thankfully gullible MMA fans bet on Conor so I could get -357. It opened at like -2000 which is why I said I wouldn't bet this fight. My bookie made a killing tonight he only had 25 people bet mayweather and like 100 or so bet on Conor. He bet a shitload on mayweather too we both just couldn't believe people even thought Conor had a chance.

I don't know if you'd even know, and if you did whether you'd be willing to say, but any idea what the size of those bets were? I can imagine people saying,"Well he's not gonna win but the odds are so good I'll place a small bet on and maybe make a few hundred on the off-chance a miracle happens" but I cannot wrap my head around anybody putting large bets against what was essentially the inevitable outcome.

Every time I read that there was a significant amount bet on Conor to win, I imagine it being thousands of small bets adding up as opposed to a smaller number of large ones.

93% of the tickets bet were on Conor. Roughly 70% of the money ended up on Floyd. 6 people bet $1mill on Floyd in Vegas.

I managed to get a good chunk down as well on Floyd. Had a big sweat betting against Conor getting a point deducted too lol congrats Jase

Congrats to you as well. I still don't get why Conor kept hammer fisting Floyd. I don't think you can do that in MMA to a standing opponent right?

Yeah you can't strike to the back of the head in mma as well. Maybe he was just not used to someone bending at the waist as much as Floyd was, and just wasn't prepared for it

It looked like Floyd's plan was to bait Conor into doing a move that would lead to DQ. it was a nice fight though and much more entertaining than I thought it was going to be.

I mean, you can try standing hammerfists in MMA if you want. It's just not a very good move. Here's noted Conor McGregor Friend Artem Lobov doing it

Just one bet for Saturday. Not betting to much because I have 15k on Ohio State -7.5 vs Oklahoma.

1k on Borg @+590 which I fully expect to lose but I like long shot bets for the thrill of it. Most likely won't watch the fight because I will be watching the bucks game and I think it will be on at the same time.

I am also in Cape Coral and will most likely be in the path of the Hurricane just not sure if it will die down yet or not before it gets to me. Have a poo poo load of water, a generator, lots of food and liquor cabinet full of scotch so I am ready to fight Irma to the death. I sent my wife to Atlanta to stay with my cousin and my Uncle will be here with me. House is on a hill, I got hurricane proof windows and hurricane proof garage. So unless poo poo goes really bad I should be fine.
