Mayweather vs Cotto

[sean2000]

Ok I asked this in a previous thread but could not find it so I'll ask for some clarification.

I am going to put $8500 on Mayweather to win against cotto. I dont want to pick any rounds or aynthing, just the fact that hes going to win, this is called "straight up" bet right? Now if he knocks out cotto in any round or wins by decision I win either way right?

Also going to put a cetain amount on Cotto just in case, any idea how much I shoud put?

Thank you.

[sean2000]

Anyone???

Also going to put a cetain amount on Cotto JUST IN CASE , any idea how much I shoud put?

Thank you.

you going to bet both sides ?

[zsr]

Yes you win regardless whether it's a knockout or decision

Not sure why you'd want to put money on cotto too though

[sean2000]

Lets say I put $100 on Cotto, and if the line is at 800 to 1 mayweather fav, what does that pay out?
Just curious since I am new to sports betting aside from betting with friends...

lol welcome to sbr. Donating free money to the books is commonly called "the JJ special."

Just bet $7,750 on Mayweather. This way, You would be risking $7,750 to win $1,033. If you structure it your way, you are risking $8,000 to win $1,033.

Why would you bet both sides?

You are burning money.

At 5dimes cotto is at +500, which means 5 to 1 ($100 bet gives you $500)

[sean2000]

What is the line currently at for Mayweather, I am just gonna bet Mayweather.

[Megatron]

-700 (Risk $700 to win $100)

[sean2000]

Just curious, what if its a draw?

[Ernie Mccracken]

Just curious, what if its a draw?

What book are you betting with that doesn't have this clearly stated on their rules page?

[sean2000]

how do i look up the odds at 5dimes?

[sean2000]

I found this link. I am thinking of puttin 10,000 on T Bradley against Pacman. He might just win....thats $28,000 back....dam..i can get rich like this...lol.....

Wait until fight gets closer and Floyd will drop to -650/750 range. If the line is -700, you will lay 7000 to win 1000. Book will give you back 8000 if Floyd wins. The 8000 is your original layout of 7000 plus the winnings. Hedging with Cotto to win is just dumb. Only shot Cotto has is TKO or DQ.

Floyd picks the guy apart and wins by easy decision or late stoppage.

10k on Bradley is just a dumb bet.

im seeing cotto pulling a rare one here and knocking the fukk out gayweather in the 6th round

[iQon]

I see how books always win. People betting on Cotto, 10k on Bradley. I'd book that in a heartbeat.

typical....another guy who cant stand floyd because of his persona....who cant tell the difference between "seeing" and "wishing/hoping"....

there isnt a single person who understand the game...the technical aspects of it...who sees what you are envisioning....theres A level world class fighters...and then theres floyd a level above them.....floyd has way too many tools in the tool belt...im a cotto fan too myself...seen the guy fight live 3 times....but he doesnt have nearly enough skill to pull something like that off

[Ghenghis Kahn]

people like op shouldn't bet more than a $100 in any sport. this clown has no idea what's going on and wants to bet that much?

Better chance of tt winning Wimbledon or sideloader not winning best anal fisting at gay porn awards than what you predicting happening.

Cotto will have to go to body early and often to keep the fight from being embarrassing.

Mayweather is not going to lose. He does not box those with any chance of defeating him. Plus the guy who is fighting him is in fo their biggest payday no matter the outcome. Its all about money.

I know this is rare, and unlikely but for few that may not be a large amount of money.

Because of his persona

Probably because he beats his kids mother, in front of his kids. Guy is a true piece of shit in real life, not because of some fake twitter persona. He's a punk bitch. Beating a women in front of his kids, give me a break. What a tough guy, huh?

you think manny is a saint eh??? the guy is just as bad....hes known to abuse his wife by cheating on her regularly.....theres a video of her breaking down in church when the pastor starts talking about good marriages...and you see pac trying to hug her and she pushes him away and is just crying hysterically.......his wifes family boycotted him for awhile....the guy is a gambler and likes to party(although recently apparently hes said hes giving that up and recommiting himself to his faith).....the guys strength coach told him he should go to bed(the night before the marquez fight) because it was 11:30 pm and manny threw a phone...busted up a table and threatned to kill security guards if they let him back in his room.....lolol...sounds like a real standup guy too....the difference is he smiles and doesnt say much......stereotypes sell........like i said...no one says shit about floyd when he pays for the funeral of genaro hernandez...or writes 6 figure checks to fund an amatuer boxing tourney

[zsr]

Where did I mention anything about manny

[bobby heenan]

cotto is a natural southpaw who fights from an orthodox stance....he has no right hand really...it wont be effective....cottos best shot will be to stay behind his jab....and land that left hook to the body...it wont land upstairs.....but like i said...too many tools in floyds tool belt for cotto....

[bobby heenan]

Where did I mention anything about manny

you didnt...didnt have to.....manny is the anti floyd...thats why his shit gets swept under the rug...just as most are looking for a villain...they are looking for his foil.....thats why nobody really talks about manny behind the scenes....hes almost just as much of an asshole as floyd is....but hes the darling

Gritter!

[dzzznutz]

boooorrrrrriiiiinnngggggg fight gayweather will keep it safe and win 10 rounds

[dynamite140]

what a clown

[sean2000]

tax

Ok lets say I put $9999 on Floyd and I win $1400. They will give me back
$9999 + $1400 = $11399.

My concern is the tax i have to pay.....i have to pay it on the spot? If so, how much?

Trying to avoid taxes as can see, hence the $9999

You won't be taxed by casino. If you try to make the transaction $9999, you will likely get flagged by the casino for attempting to structure a transaction.
