Olympics Boxing Thread and Discussion

[GreenDoberman]

You are overthinking it. The winner is the winner, there can be no draw. And it is Chinese, not Chink.

5 fighters in finals, 2 that have fought lost.

-14 units on the futures that have lost with three pending.

 

[GreenDoberman]

Straight bets:

J. Degale +170 D. Sutherland 1 unit WIN +1.7
A. Vastine -105 F. Diaz 1 unit LOST -1.05
T. Jeffries +210 K. Egan 0.5 units LOST -0.5
J. Degale +125 E. Correa 2 units WON +2.5

Straight bets: 2-2 +2.65 units

 

[GreenDoberman]

That puts me at -11.35 units with the 3 wagers pending and any straight bets I make on the last six finals.

I think I will hedge on the Egan bet to lock in a profit, just trying to figure out how much risk (or how little) I want to have and which sides to be heavy on.

 

[Mr.Smith]

Has their been much giving Chinese boxers decisions they didn't deserve to win?

 

[GreenDoberman]

Not really Mr. Smith. They've really been pretty fair. In the early rounds they might have given a little bit of credit but not ridiculous and if anything Hanati of China was given less credit than Banteaux of Cuba in the semis.
Some complained about Shiming Zou shutting out Paddy Barnes of Ireland in the semis, but he is their glamour boy and the difference was really instead of 15-0 it should have been 15-2.

I'd still be careful and at least hedge out a little bit. I think the "Chinese factor" has been built into the line as Egan should be about 100 points higher.

Part of me today wanted to just bet more on Egan, but I think discretion is the better part of valor and I'll lock in a profit. Right now I'm pondering 20 units on the Chinese boxer.

 

[Mr.Smith]

sportsbook.com has Zhang +2.5 on the points line. possible middle.

credit cards may even work there to make a deposit if needed, I did one recently, but not there.

 

[GreenDoberman]

Final bets of the Olympiad:

Z. Xiaping +115 K. Egan 20 units * (hedging future bet)

B.U. Enkhbat -180 Y. Leon 2 units

* Make sure if you are betting these that you know I am betting on Xiaping strictly as a partial hedge of my Egan future. I am not recommending this bet unless you have Egan to win in a future bet.

Good luck and go Kenny go.

Think we will be able to watch some boxing?..I sure as hell aint gonna wait for the delay tape..I will have to go into my book accounts and the balance will reflect the outcome anyways...Worse case would be waiting for nbcoly site to post it..I am gonna check now..First fight in 5 minutes..I know one channel will have BB game..Maybe another will have boxing..

 

[DennizdaMenace]

Plus looks like USA-Brazil volleyball game at 0230 is TV priority

 

[DennizdaMenace]

Actually..USA-Brazil gold volleyball game already underway..USA is up 2-1 in sets..If they take the gold it will be a huge upset

 

[DennizdaMenace]

Couldnt find boxing on Direct TV...Satelite Dish Network (Ping fukken pong) or Comcast..Nothing on channelsurf or NBC olympics..Last hope will go to some boxing forum sites I am a member to see if anyone has a link..Dont look good

Anybody else watching this?

The Mongolian boxer Serdamba Purevdorj was just a victim of an early stoppage that gave the Chinese fighter Shiming Zou the gold medal at lightweight flyweight.

Purevdorj wasn't even slightly buzzed by the punch. The referee seemed to be looking for an excuse to give the Gold Medal to the Chinese fighter.

I hadn't believed there was corruption going on, but this really makes me wonder.
