That's my bad on that man.... i'm thinking about just posting all of them from now on, because I hit three dogs in the past week (Beltran, Cano and Art). Art being the only posted bold pick.... but I did do a little write up for the other two
I'm just worried though... because I've seen people post on threads blaming people for losing them money.... and I don't want to do that and feel bad about it. A lot of them are risky that even I don't think I"ll win.... and don't want to post if I'm not confident.
But screw it... I'm 13-10 on posted bold picks.... not like I'm Charlie Sheen winning exactly.. and this one would have been a good one to share.
I'm pretty much going to post everything from now on.... even if I do think it's too risky.
Here's hoping Gomez takes it tomorrow against Porter....
I got him at 305 but he's at 340 right now on 5dimesComment -
How much shit would I have gotten if I said I just hit a play I hadn't mentioned on here? haComment -
Guerrero keeps dropping.
Don't know why though.
He's as low as -300Comment -
Im on guerrero and edgar sosa
.Comment -
didnt watch the gomez fight..... but evidently it was riddled with headbutts and was a bloody messComment -
Damn about the Gomez fight... I heard it was ugly as hell... I have to watch it though because I was out.
No surprise on the Aydin fight though.
2 of 3 today and 3 of 4 for the weekend. Not bad, could have been 4 of 5 with a nice +800 underdog, but didn't post.
Will do so from now on, but post Risky in red bold if I'm no so confident about it.
I'll be gone for about 2 weeks.... so I'll be posting nothing the day of or nothing. Might leave a FNF play

Since I'm making a shot into the dark and not really offering an opinion other than... I think he'll win. I won't put my usual bold statement up. I'm putting a small bet on Errol Spence @-140.... simply because he's American, the best WW we got and the Americans have been riding a wave lately. I think he gets past it and odds don't seem that bad.
I don't watch amateur boxing that much, so this is just a random pick I hope goes through.
Pretty much any amateur fight I post in here without the big bold writing.... is a shot in the dark.
Also, when I say small... only about a 30 dollar bet
Errol SPence over Carvahlo @ -140
*edit
And right after I make the bet, the scoring system got me nervous because Ramirez won by 21-20.... little too close for my comfortComment -
Right now, I think Errol got this.... unless he gets KO'd.... or the judges don't like himComment -
I liked Spence.... but then again his opponent didn't seem that good... even though he supposedly does work for the country in other competitions.
Him, along with a couple other U.S fighters, I'd take in the next round.... U.S olympic team is looking good right now.
I might make some other shot in the dark plays tonight on decent odds.

ANother shot in the dark pick. I'm taking Abdulkareem over Lusizi.
Another 30 dollars @ -110 odds.
Quick tidbit.... I don't know much about either fighter, just that Abdulkareem is younger than Lusizi.
Hahaha, this is another shot in the dark pick, so make a small wager and piggyback if you'd like.
Abdulkareem over Lusizi @ -110Comment -
I failed in that one.... too bad it's only three rounds though.... Abdulkareem could've taken it
Well, that's it for my shot in the darks

Something i'm going to write before all my picks. I'm just a normal person writing his opinion on what I think is going to happen and why. It's up to you to take my opinion and do with it as you will. I may be wrong as hell or I may happen to be right. If you think I'm wrong, post here and say why! Argument's are great and it's always better to see two sides to every coin.
alright, I"ll be gone for a while, so I"ll just post some picks here. I'm having my brother lay down while I'm gone.... they'll all be small picks of 30 bucks..... pulling in a little from my win on the last FNF.
Risky
The Gesta fight is a damn coin flip. Not for the ML, should be Gesta... but for the over/under. This is just a precautionary to people looking at that fight. Barnett has the reach and length, but he's a stalker with little head movement that will probably walk forward all night. So Gesta has the ability to get him out as he will be given an lot of opportunities. Then again.... Gesta has never fought an AA fighter and mostly fought old Mexican veterans.... so who knows if he struggles with the pressure Barnett presents.
Me personally.... I'm banking on the fact that Barnett's been blasted twice, his come foward style playing for Gesta and Gesta's desire to perform well for his first time headlining a card.
If the under is anywhere from 7.5 to 9.5.... I'll have my brother lay down.... if not, then it'll be a void pick for me.
Gesta vs Barnett under
Next couple are amateur boxing matches. I know I said before that I didn't bet on these, but after watching a few of these.... I'm impressed.
Rau'shee Warren is the best and most experienced boxer on the US squad right now. I see him winning a few fights.... not sure about medaling though as I didn't look at his possible matchups yet. Regardless... he's on a bye right now and I'd take him over Nordine or Ajmal on Friday.
Warren over Nordine/Ajmal
Ramirez has a very good chance of medaling as he was lucky with his draw and won't face Lomachenko, Toledo or Qiuang. His style should net him a win next week over Fazzlidin.... although the scoring system has me a little worried.
Ramierz over Fazzlidin
Lomachenko over Wellington
Probably crap odds, but no freaking way in hell does Wellington beat Lomachenko.... no way. This will be a huge upset if he loses.
Toledo over Qiang
THis isa tough one that could go either way... but I'm siding with the Cuban on this one. I think Toledo will make it to the semis and lose to Lomachenko. Also, I like the Cuban amateur program a lot better than the chinese one... don't know how well they'll do now that they're not on homegrounds.
I don't know if Spence will win his next Welter bout because he had an opponent who wasn't really that good today. I'm not going to lie though... I think he can perform once again and make it into the round of 8. I'm not quite sure how good Vikas is..... but I thought Spence performed exceptionally well. ALso, this is why I'm making small bets compared to a normal unit or 3/4's.
Spence over Vikas
Well, that's 6 picks.... 180 dollars, 30 each. I'm basically feeling fancy since that Beltran win last Friday.... but I personally like these picks. Not 100 percent sure they'll hit, but there's a good chance they will. The one I'm worried about most is the Gesta vs Barnett fight. Overconfidence kills and Gesta is just that. I'm relying on Barnett to help get KO'd... that's why I feel the pick is a little risky. Very good chance this hits the over..... just saying.
Well, that's it for me for a week or two.

Gonna have to check out some of these olympic boxing matches. My knowledge of these guys definitely isn't up to snuff but im sure there's plenty of money to be made.Comment -
I know we're in olympic boxing mode but any thoughts on the Thomas Oosthuizen/Rowland Bryant fight ??? Ooze should take it but im thinking props is the way to go. No value in -800 straight.Comment -
Checking in from Maine. USA boxing pooped out.... But Errol Spence just got his fight overturned... So im 3 for 2 right now waiting tonight for the last. If warren hadn't pooped out, we have two Americans still.inComment -
Aka if you took Spence and lost.... Dispute the shit out of itComment -
Yes I was betting on Errol Spence couldnt believe the result glad it got overturned was gutted for the kid I'll be surprised if I get my $50 from Bodog thoughComment -
You can't bet on this crap deepest pockets win, Vikas was robbed.Comment -
Then USA wouldn't have won because USA am boxing gets the least amount of money. Also, haven't watched yet but heard Spence won pretty convincinglyComment -
5 dimes has reverted to the original decision, they do not observe protests. No more gripe here pal! You haven't watch but are defending, yes I think he won. Protests are for pusieS. India should withdrawal all their players from the games to protest this decision.Last edited by Nick Papageorgio; 08-04-12, 10:08 AM.Comment -
ANybody know the odds on Chris Avalos tonight?
I just got back from my trip.... would have put down on him, but came back later than expected.
ALso, Lomachenko is just one step away from another gold.Comment -
the over on the Avalos fight was -160 so that was pretty easy cash too. The Darley Perez fight was a nailbiter but he pulled it off.Comment -
Got back with the Olympics almost over, and got to say the Lomachenko future is looking good. Also, Anthony Joshua is looking good for the gold. He's going up against a guy he already beat in the world championship last year in his hometown..... come on now. He's won close fights already here, what's going to be different in the final? Unless he wins by a wide decision.... I bet Joshua wins this and takes the goldComment -
First pick for today is a rough one. Shiming vs Pongyanoon.
This is a fight that could easily go to either man.
Shiming is China's most accomplished boxer, but he's coming up in years and it's evident in his past couple of matches where he's just surviving.
His Thai counterpart has been on an upset tear lately and has a good chance to unseat the gold medal winner.
IMO, I think Shiming takes this in a close fight. He has the experience and a win over him already..... so I think he'll edge out a win over Pongyanoon.
Shiming over Pongyanoon @ -180Comment -
Zou won.... but wasn't a good showing
THai could have easily taken thatComment -
I'l be making a play on the Murata fight if anybody is interested at 430.... still playing tug-o-war (not masturbating) with myselfComment
