HOW MUCH IS THE .5 WORTH IN BOXING??

[ATX]

I guess it depends a lot on the situation but any thoughts?

I just realized my wager on the Lewis UNDER didnt go through, and now I'm stuck with under 7 -105, or under 7.5 -129, under 8 is too much chalk for me.

I might take a shot with Klitchsko at 4$ at appx 1/3 strength or less of the under.

Thoughts?

5 dimes still has under 8.5 -165

too much chalk, I rarely lay more than -140, especially on boxing.

Brings up another question, does anyone have much luck middling boxing rounds? Never thought much about it.

sorry best i could find was under 8 full rounds

sirbet -170
GA -165
Oly -169

Probaly have better luck playing the outcome, i.e Lewis by KO and Klitsko by Dec, but then you are open not middling

I'm trying to decide between under 7 -105 and under 7.5 -129

with all the chalk with under 8 I dont see much value with that #.

with the short camp, I feel Lewis comes after him quickly.

I took the under at 8.5 -125. I may try to middle if ikeeps going down.

I'm with you on the under. Lennox Lewis called up Sanders before he fought W. Klitchko. He told Sanders to attack and get inside. Many times when Lewis fights he likes to stay away from opponents. He throws a couple a big shots then backs off and jabs. I think in this fight he'll use the strategy that he gave Sanders since V. Klitchko is the bigger fighter. I'm not sure which one will go down but someone's going down early.

yeah, that's the number that I liked, but apparently the wager was never processed, it doesnt show up as pending.

looks like somebody liked the middle opp at Canbet. Line just went from 7 -05 under to 7.5 U -133. Either that or they wanted to adjust their action. Since I dont know the value of the .5 in boxing, I cant really tell, but I bet somebody liked the 7-8.5

Though i don't like Lewis, he is a much more polished fighter and should win by KO or TKO. But not that early.

I'm not sure what .5 round is worth in boxing. You would think in this fight it would be a lot more than the normal fight because these are big boys. Klitschko has 31 KOs in 32 wins. Where's Odessa?

that's the way I see it. I also doubt anyone will just give away the historical value of .5's to us.
