Boxing; 8/02/2008; Judah-Clottey; what's my line?

[MayorgaFan]

....

I'm contemplating to open an account at sports.com, which is a -like sportsbook- owned by Jazette Enterprises Limited...but I'm not so sure anymore...

Would you recommend it!?

Not until they have a processor and are paying out again, nope. I see a 3 month wait at least in my future. It's been over a month already.

Yea, it's pretty bad. I've been on their ass and I keep getting a bunch of sob stories. I'm sitting on a withdrawal since 6/21/2008, and they no longer offer Fed-Ex or DHL, so it ain't pretty. Trouble is they offer lines thet have been profitable. All sorts of good stuff on round props, etc.

And apparently they advertise left and right their site....but don't have a processor to pay out.

What's (very) wrong in this picture ?

Same thing happened last year. For what it's worth, I do believe they will pay out. However I could never tell someone to play at a place that can't process a payout currently.

 

[frank s.]

Maybe since I live in Vegas I'll just bet with the books here. No payout problems ever, but the lines and options SUCK a lot of the time. I've said this before but gave in to the temptation of better lines and prop plays. :shrug:

 

[Zerwas]

Thanks for the info.
I think I'll wait...

u guys like clotty that much?

he didnt put shamone alvarez to sleep, that causes me some consternation

 

[HurricaneEddy]

I actually like the over in this fight. Clottey doesnt stop too many of the better guys he's faced and unless Judah fights a vicious puncher he's very capable of going the distance with his movement and boxing skills.

I don't think either guy stops the other. I do wonder about the righty/lefty situation and a cut stoppage but thats it

 

[frank s.]

Maybe I'm just a sucker for mental toughness, focus and determination, all of which I see in Clottey. Judah, for all his natural God given physical abilities, has character flaws and mental/emotional defects which effect his chances to be a success.

How are they paying? Regular mail?

According to their website, they still offer the check method of payout, only option available

Just wondering b/c sportsbetting recently started "holding" their boxing openers. Their sister sites all opened lines last week and this week much earlier than sportsbetting. They offer much higher limits than the other books, so I guess they want to see where the early money is going at sissy's before hanging their opener. BS! I use them b/c they have higher limits, but now I can't take advantage of the openers? I'll be withdrawing most of my money there for sure, but I'll leave about a grand in there just in case I like something down the road and want more than 500 on it...lol

Playersonly and sportsbook both opened the boxing lines early, guess I'll be playing there from now on. The check situation worries me a little, but as long as I get paid eventually its fine with me.

They ONLY offer regular snail mail right now. The website says u can use fed-ex but that is a fallacy. I'm told all payouts take 3-5 weeks. This seems out of line. When you say " sportsbetting" what site exactly are you referring?

i gotta say 5 dimes is pretty amazing(i`m a small bettor,though)...free payouts on mondays...they don`t dick around....

yeah,they`re a little late on the lines...i guess i don`t mind because i`m not trying to supplement my income...i just do it for the enjoyment...

i wonder if i were winning and a large bettor,if they`d be as accommodating?....:shrug:

5dimes? Yes they would. They have always paid quick and still do. They would also cut your limits though. :0corn

This is exactly the fight I think about with this fight. I am putting my money on Judah at +225. Alvarez is a shitty version of Judah and Clottey had a little trouble with Alvarez skills.

I believe Clottey will win a "come from behind victory" on points but I am betting Zab at these odds in the hopes that he is more than a great 6 round fighter for this fight.

Clottey does not punch hard enough to take his heart but he does have the workrate to outpoint him.

Good luck all.

 

[Ghost Kid]

I def can't argue with the people taking a shot on judah for the price...i thought the odds would be closer

that being said clottey is my pick

i believe zab has taken some brutal beatings (mayweather, cotto) and is on the downside

clottey is strong and steady and zab won't be able to hurt him

clottey should come on strong at the end for a clear UD

(but I hope zab get's stopped as i played the under 11.5 as well !)

either way, good luck to everyone this weekend. should be fun.

 

[nj]

i played judah ahead after 3 and judah ahead after 5 small, both of them parlayed with dirrell and peterson, both come out to about +260.

 

[armageto]

I want Zab to fall off a cliff. I've never liked him, for an assortment of reasons. However, I've heard first hand from his training camp that he does look great. My only fear is Clottey might be to big. I don't think Clottey will stop him though, either way. He just doesn't hit hard. Add on the fact that he bombs out and takes rounds off just as bad as Judah.

Judah is by far the more skilled boxer. I know people have heard it before, but I think he is focused for this fight. I've never said it before, but from everything I heard, I think he just might be.

Update on sportsbook withdrawals

Update on sportsbook withdrawals

They contacted me saying I could use "Use My Wallet" processor for "instant" payment. I never used this money transfer agent before. They said they will set up the account and e-mail instructions on how to use this service. When I have the benjamins in my hand I will believe it.

 

[gardenweasel]

i`m gonna take the judah points handicap after 3 on lederman`s card at +175....

i figure,judah`s usually gung ho early in fights(until things start getting difficult) and he`ll be faster in the first 3 rounds than at any point in the fight...
was looking at winner after 3 loses fight for +190,but,it was getting convoluted....


so,being that i have clottey-180,i`ll have a little fun with one prop...

i`ll just be happy if clottey does his job...

 

[gardenweasel]

are we overrating clottey?....i just a long look at his record,and you know,it isn`t as impressive as i initially thought....

beating an out-sized,over the hill corrales?.....beating shamone alvarez?...cruz?..richard gutierrez?....

and was margarito injured prior to the clottey fight as he claimed?...

really,other than margarito,those aren`t "elite" wins....

i hate to do this,but i`m gonna hedge a little...i have a flat and a par with clottey...i already took judah winning after 3 on lederman`s card for a little at +175...

i`m gonna throw a few dollars on zabadoo...i`m gonna throw her into reverse and hedge with zab at +210....

if clottey wins,i still win some money...a lot less than i had hoped to......if judah wins,i`m gonna break about even....maybe lose 10 bucks...

i`m a coward....i couldn`t dig up alvarez vs clottey at u-tube(it`s not fresh in my memory) and the fact that it was as close as it was is worrisome...

i feel like i can count on zab to fade,but,if i recall,clottey`s faded in a few fights....

i was so sure of clottey....:shrug: ....the sac shrank up on me...
