...bet using your predictions?
I know this dude that I used to play basketball with pretty often who now texts me for almost every big fight to see who I think is going to win.

I think the bum's trying to make a quick buck off me, but isn't saying. Needless to say, I stopped replying to his texts about two fights ago.

Yes. My friend Steve has won thousands off my boxing predictions. My friends call me for advice during every big fight.

After I told him to take Taylor over Hopkins and Wright over Tito, I get calls for every big one.

Yeah, and I also have a friend that I pick against in EVERY sport. The guy bets on baseball, basketball, football, and soccer. I can't remember the last bet he's won.

I have a friend who followed Boxing before I did. Here lately he's been cold on his predicitions. He picked Hopkins, Gomez, and Hatton to win. I would have def given Hatton and the old man a chance, but Gomez? WOW! Some of these picks are obvious, and Gomez should have been one of em. At the rate my buddy has been going, whoever he picks to win will probably be the guy to lose.

I had friends years ago who could not understand why I didn't bet on fights especially after I picked Livingstone Bramble to dethrone Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini. My response was that I also picked Johnny Bumphus to beat Gene Hatcher the same night!

Anyway, most of my friends with whom I used to go to live fights and to closed circuit shows in the '80s and '90s either don't follow boxing as closely as they used to or seem to be 10-20 years older than they actually are! There's a few guys at work who ask me my opinion on upcoming fights but I have no idea if they bet according to my predictions or if they bet at all.

I have a few that do that with me, usually if they win a nice chunk they throw me a couple of bucks. Makes me feel bad though when I tell them one thing and that guy gets his ass kicked.

SERIOUSLY THOUGH, anybody wanting to make money should take note son gibberish's picks, because hes often right on
kstat124 and lruk are also incredible predictors

I told a lot of people to put money down on Kessler vs Calzaghe. Needless to say not many people want my predicitons anymore,
