9th Round Boxing Bets Started by: TyrionLannister on Oct 23, '12 07:26

Roll up, Roll up!

Last night I was feeling a little adventurous and decided to accept bets on the upcoming boxing contest. Many have placed their wagers already and I stand to lose a lot of money on some fights. Still, I thought i'd come out here today and open the floor to everyone that may not have saw my offer:

All boxers are placed at Evens. This means that whatever you bet, will be returned plus your stake if you win. If you bet 100k (maximum bet), then you will receive 200k if your bet wins. You may bet on as many fights as you like, even those including yourself if your as bold as some.

On top of this, I offered the chance for people to bet ouright on the overall winner of the contest, with a maximum bet of 250k allowed on this bet. The odds are currently 5/1 for each fighter. This means if you bet 250k, you would receive 1.5 million if your bet wins.

List of participants:


TyrionLannister DT
Revolve DT
UncleJack DT

Well folks, so far New Olreans are the most confident in their fighters!

Most bet on fighter so far: Ragnarok. Big things are expected of this man, rumour is if he fails to win his bout, he'll be forced to sleep in the yard!

Report Post Tip

Tyrion slaps his face

Apologies folks. I appear to have made a Geographical error with one fighter:

PH1 Luger vs PH6 Mr-Adams should be the first fight, not DT1 for Mr-Adams.

Report Post Tip

Ok.. It seems I made an ass of it, rather than a simple Geographical error.

Mr-Adams has been awarded a Bye to the next round of the fights as per the original schedule, due to the death of his opponent, Luger is also given a Bye to the next round to ensure numbers of fighters in the following rounds are correct.

Apologies for the confusion folks. All those that placed bets on the Luger fight will receive a refund in due course.

Paranoia overhears about betting on fights, he stands up and clears his throat he speaks up about the bets

I just have few questions before I start just giving away my money, I say giving it away as I have a horrible problem with gambling.

-Is there a min. and max bet? I know you said "whatever you bet, will be returned plus your stake if you win" I just wanna make sure if I tossed in a a large sum of cash that there would be no worries.

- You say the odds are 5/1 for every fighter, so will this increase as we get to the semi finals and grand finals?

Thanks for answer these questions

Paranoia takes his seat and waits for his questions to get answered

Report Post Tip

Thank you for the questions, ParanoiaAgent.

The Max is 100k per fight, or 250k for Contest winner. There is no minimum at all.

The odds will actually decrease with each round, as with there being less contestants will mean
there is more chance of fighters winning.

So i'd advise getting in now if you want to place a bet on the Contest winner, as my odds will indeed
drop with each round.

If I dont believer, Ill be sleeping in Phil_Steaks dog house for a very long time I'm sure.

Maybe if you weren't so short you'd notice my dear old mum was nice enough to stitch it to all of my shirts just above the shirt pocket so I wouldn't forget.

Your name is Made in China?

I said above my shirt pocket not my pants pocket, and stop staring at my ass.

Thank you for the prompt payment Imp. Its very true, a Lannister always pays his debts.

Report Post Tip

The next round of fights are in


Luger (PH) vs Phil_Steak (NO)
Aidan (PH) vs Warwick (LA)
kurgan (PH) vs Ragnarok (NO)
Renekton (PH) vs Revolve (DT)
Mr-Adams (PH) vs Frank_Sinatra (NO)
AntDaCapo (PH) vs Philli-Stein (NO)



Its largely became a PH vs NO affair here. With one solitary fighter from LA and another from DT the only exceptions.

PH and NO's fighters both gave a very good display, albeit some better than others: With Kurgan destroying his opponent in as clear a victory as can be, and Phil Steak appearing to drink a cup of tea in one hand whilst using as little energy as possible to steal a small victory, there is just no telling how things will finish up.

Odds below have been decided using nothing more than simple randomness and could see me going back to Kings Landing to borrow more coin from my father if i'm not careful.

1/1 Luger (PH) vs Phil_Steak (NO) 2/1 - Will Phil take things too easy this time and fall prey to Luger? The man is fresh having avoided doing battle in the first set of fights. Time will tell I guess.

1/1 Aidan (PH) vs Warwick (LA) 2/1 - Can Philly continue to dominate? Aidan certainly knows what he's doing and Warwick hardly impressed in the last round, beating Hogan with only a 3pt difference. Good money to be made if your brave enough.

2/1 Renekton (PH) vs Revolve (DT) 1/1 - Both fighters are on somewhat of an even stance right now, with each disposing of their opponents comfortably in the opening round. Renekton however faced a handsome little man who was clearly less of a challange, can he match up to his next DT opponent?

1/1 Mr-Adams (PH) vs Frank_Sinatra (NO) 1/1 - Mr-Adams is another fresh face, having been granted a Bye in the original draw. Frank is not only a killer voice, but a killer in all walks of life. I expect this to be an even and tough battle with it being impossible to call either way. One for the neutrals to get stuck into I reckon!

1/2 AntDaCapo (PH) vs Philli-Stein (NO) 1/1 - Safe money is on Ant here. The lad destroyed his opponent in the first round and its h ard to see Philli managing to continue in the winning ways, he sneaked through the first fight with only a 4pt swing in what was a tame event. Can he turn up the heat on one of the big hitters from round 1, or will he be the weak link in the NO dominance?

ALL MATCHES HAVE A MAX OF 100k BETS AGAIN.

BETS ARE AVAILABLE ON THE OVERALL CONTEST WINNER - MAX BET 250k WITH ODDS OF 4/1 FOR ALL FIGHTERS.

Renekton walks in in a prompt way , like hes about to throw a midget

'Lannister.. I'm from chicago and i'm the only one from this fine city , would you please mark me as such?'

Report Post Tip

Feeling confident after another day of practice at the Starry Night gym with Kurgan and Luger, Mr.Adams is willing to place some bets

What are the odds on the kurgan vs Ragnarok fight Tyrion?

For now I want to make a 100k bet on Luger and Mr.Adams winning their round. So 200k total!

Report Post Tip

Word on the street is that Ragnarok is scared to face Kurgan and the fight is cancelled....


Just kidding. I appear to have had a bit too much milk of the poppy last night and wasn't thiking clearly.

1/1 kurgan (PH) vs Ragnarok 1/1 (NO) - With both fighters managing to secure easy victories with very little effort, I expect an evenly fought match with the winner anyones guess. As such both fighters are available at evens just like their previous respective fights.

Apologies to Kurgan and Ragnarok for their absence in the original listing. As a gesture of good will you may have a free bet each on any other match.

Also, special thanks to a customer from the first round that received too much money due to my aforementioned confusion, the overpayment was returned without any request by yours truly and that person will also be awarded a free bet for this round as a result.

This might explain why we now charge for drinks in the HQ.
