**Pabinator** · 06-16-10, 01:29 PM

Maybe they know something? lol

**shady610** · 06-16-10, 01:38 PM

ill take your word on it

**Vaughany** · 06-16-10, 05:11 PM

Im jumping on a straddle: Ward by decision 5/4 and Greene by TKO/KO at 7/1.

**bruce_outside** · 06-17-10, 11:09 PM

definitey a mistake. ward is -750 at the greek.

**Fitzel** · 06-18-10, 11:38 AM

Dam, they have Ward at +525 now? How can they change it and not realize it's wrong? As bruce_outside said, the lowest i've seen him anywhere else is -600... I'm guessing as soon as the fights over and Ward wins they'll say that it was a mistake and cancel all bets on him?

**Handjuice** · 06-18-10, 07:57 PM

Ward by decision is the play

They just canceled it... I'm sure this thread didn't help. I can't complain as the points were free, but it does suck that online books can just cancel bets at their discretion. In Vegas it's illegal to do that.

**playa420** · 06-19-10, 01:14 AM

ward is obviously gonna win this fight,but the moneyline is way to expensive right now,im thinking ward by decision looks pretty good.

**Varker** · 06-19-10, 02:13 AM

ward has this.

**shady610** · 06-19-10, 01:22 PM

i bought into this clearly based on what i read on this thread

**sirchadwick1** · 06-19-10, 03:25 PM

I'm on Ward by decision at +110.

**Vaughany** · 06-19-10, 04:59 PM

0.8 units on Ward by decision and 0.1 units on Greene by TKO/KO!

Good call, I went ahead and put .5 on Green by TKO/KO (+700) in case he gets that big shot in.

Agree with you both, doin the same thing here.

**Cookie Monster** · 06-19-10, 07:33 PM

Ward, decision, dominant

**Vaughany** · 06-19-10, 10:15 PM

Easy money! Just wish I had some balls and went all in!

**HauntingTheHoly** · 06-19-10, 11:11 PM

Better place to bet boxing than Bodog? Who has the earliest lines? ****ing Bodog didn't post odds until LAST NIGHT and naturally Ward was something like -1000 by then. Green was +600 for sure.

**phillybadboy** · 06-19-10, 11:40 PM

what haappened to Jermain taylor? is he retired or just relaxing?

Bet365 usually post earlier, but the vig is large. Still a good option.
Pinnacle has very few lines, only in big fights. But it has them well before the fight, and you can´t beat their juice.
5dimes has good lines, usually 2 days before the fight and some props.
The greek is similar to 5dimes, but higher limits and few/no props.

Gary Shaw, Taylor's promoter, dropped him out of health concerns after Taylor's loss to Arthur Abraham. A short while afterward, Taylor agreed to drop out of the Super Six tourney, but has not completely ruled out a return to the ring. Personally, I think he's a favorite to never fight again.

Paddypower all the way!

**sirchadwick1** · 06-20-10, 01:25 PM

Yup, good call on Ward via decision. I about fell asleep in the fight... but it was worth watching in the end.

**shady610** · 06-20-10, 04:41 PM

Sounding like 5dimes, as I require props for boxing and live in the U.S. Would you say the props there are as good/plentiful as bodog?

**Maxmillion** · 06-20-10, 07:31 PM

green should have been +1000. what a pitiful performance

Yeah mine was cancelled in the SBR book since i nabbed ward at +535. Kinda was expecting it though. All in all i ended up down a few units. (I had Ward by KO or TKO) I think it was still good bet though cuz Ward definently had his chance's to stop green late. Oh well, gonna hafta cash in in round 3 of the super six tourny. Early Picks for stage 3 of the tourny, Ward over Dirrel via points, Kessler over Green via points, and Abraham over Froch via points as well. Will have a new thread for it when it comes closer to the fights as I believe they are in September sometime...

**Pabinator** · 06-20-10, 08:57 PM

I was watching UFC & this fight, & this fight just seemed amazingly boring. Anyone else think so?

I didn't see it, but on boxing forums people were ripping Ward for his boring style... Ward is definitely capable of putting on exciting fights, but from what I read he was more interested in coming inside, throwing a couple shots and then clinching.

**phillybadboy** · 06-20-10, 11:36 PM

who is the leader in the super six tourbament?

I think ward is with the two wins he may have like 4 points and abraham is second even though he lost becasue he ktfo taylor and got 3 points. Evertone else has two expect for Green who has none.

**Cookie Monster** · 06-21-10, 01:02 PM

Ward looked very good, but some people now are heralding him as one of the best P4P. He whopped a fighter a class below, the next fight vs. Dirrell will tell us how good is he. Of course, it will be a boring fight to watch.

**Ian** · 06-22-10, 04:38 AM

Here's a link to the official scorecard.

For those unfamiliar with the round robin format, it breaks down as follows:
4 Andre Ward
3 Arthur Abraham
2 Mikkel Kessler
2 Carl Froch
2 Andre Dirrell
0 Alan Green

The top 4 advance to a single elimination tournament after the "stage 3" fights, which are:

Dirrell vs. Ward
Froch vs. Abraham
Kessler vs. Green
