Winky Wright v Jermain Taylor

[samjjones]

I had a draw. A very entertaining fight, and I'd like to see a rematch.

So we seem to have Tuds, tort, and Hero slightly favoring Taylor, with Indy and Oak hugely favoring Taylor. Only gundo on Winky.

Anyone want to give reasons to favor Winky? Obviously at a close odds fight, either one can win, but are there any strong reasons to favor Winky and be scared of taking Taylor?

If not, do you guys prefer Taylor at -140 or Taylor by decision at +140? Math seems to slightly prefer the decision at +140, but it's close and more of a gut call. Everyone likes the Over, so does the +140 look good, or does the small risk of a KO/stoppage favor taking the straight -140?

Taylor wins by decision. Have I ever let u down before?

Well, it was a draw as Tuds mentioned was very possible. Better luck next time guys.

Not a bad result all around. Nobody lost money. We got to see a great fight. And it was on FREE tv. What more could you ask for?

I guess the biggest problem is the fight was so good, we'll have to pay $49.95 for the rematch.

I lost money on betonsports. Didn't everyone who bet either Taylor or Wright lose their bet?

No, it was graded as a push at most places (wherever it wasn't a 3-way bet).

Damn, well i got screwed for $1,500. I think I'm gonna leave BetonSports. I'm kinda pissed about this.

[DropGems]

So is there any benefit of 3 way betting? Did you guys at other sites not have the option of betting on a draw?

At Pinnacle, it was two seperate bets -- something like this...

"Which boxer will win?"

Taylor -xxx
Winky +xxx

"Will the fight end in a draw?"

Yes +xxx
No -xxx

[DropGems]

So the fact that BetonSports was:

Wright -xxx
Taylor-xxx
Draw +xxx

all lumped together instead of the draw check box listed in prop bets, I get screwed for betting Taylor? That's kinda cheap, since it's really just another disadvantage. I thought I would at least be getting some kind of benefit from having the draw option but all the other sites have the draw option as well but they don't get screwed when they pick a fighter and then a draw happens. Everyone who bet either Wright or Taylor on Bet on Sports got owned.
