If you get a chance do you think that could give us a couple updates this week on what the strip has Calzaghe vs Hopkins at and what they have Calzaghe by decision at?

Im really interested in the Vegas line for this fight.
If it gets too tempting dont kid yourself, I will log onto US Airways and make an appearance.

I'll have to get a bolt cutter first and take the bracelet off though, lol.

you are a piece of work,my friend.......i guess that`s why i love ya`....although i hate seeing yourself and spongy throw pillows at one another...i think you guys would get along great...

you two are the only guys i know who could get worked up enough to throw down after arguing about whether toilet paper should be installed with the paper hanging down inside or outside the roll....

No not at all, I just think that we he said was ridiculous. Dont you think those Calzaghe numbers are kind of weird?

i grabbed bhop at +260....i didn`t catch the calzaghe by decision number,but...

if it`s low,
and you like joe,
that`s the way to go...

 

[gardenweasel]

-116 for calzaghe by 12 rd decision?....that is an odd line,imo...


don`t see many(if any) cut stoppages on either guy`s resume....and neither has a history of stopping top quality opponents...

theres my hedge on bhop...

thanks,bud...

I just think its weird in relation to the line of -270 for him to win. Hes -270 to win but -116 to win by dec? I just think thats odd.

I'll report whatever I come across.

The Calzaghe by decision-112 at 5Dimes seems to be the best value. They really don't offer props like that here as a rule. I plan to make a little trip today. If something surfaces I shall post.

 

[almly]

Sounds great, thanks. Im curious as to what they have Calzaghe to win at in Vegas too.

 

[frank s.]

Well so far 1 joint has Cal-270SU.

 

[almly]

Damn, I was thinking Vegas casinos would be the best place to get good Calzaghe numbers. Guess its not looking like it huh?

 

[gardenweasel]

how much better you gonna get than -112?.....

you really expect calzaghe to k.o. bhop?...the guy must have hit lacy with several hundred flush punches....and lacy has no defense.....

barring a cut,which neither guy has a history of,this almost has to go the route....

in britain,i`d be worried about a bhop d.q....but,it`s much less likely here in the states..

 

[almly]

Spinch, did you see the other thread I just started? Can you help me out with that?

Caesars Palace; Calzaghe-270, +210 back.
MGM-Mirage; Calzaghe-250, +210 back. Be advised these two casino companies account for about 20 or so major strip sportsbooks due to major consolidations. There are a few other guys but the numbers are very close. Sometimes you see good stuff as MGM opened Mosley-170. Not it's -270 and sportsbook has Mosley -550! I could have had a massive scalp but I'm a poop-head and did'nt jump on it. Any way if you plan to invest large sums they will at least take higher limit wagers than off-shore and you WILL get paid. Not to say the off-shores aren't OK nowadays, but guys still complain now and then. Caesars has Calzaghe be decision-120. GL homes.

Thanx a lot, not any different than the offshore books. Im a little suprised. But thanks for checking buddy.

Boxing is only a big deal here if it's a "mega" fight and these clowns host it. Celebs come to town; sports figures, etc. All about the benjamins. I know there is price fixing here. Used to be you could find huge disparity at times among the different properties. These humps hate it if you can scalp them on a bet so they all just stick their noses up each others butts and sniff away.
