2007: +12.45 units
2008: +25.3 units
2009: +14.74 units

 Nikolay Valuev vs. Ruslan Chagaev
Valuev -115 (Bodog)
2.3 units

This play is mostly based on Chagaev's deteriorating condition following his bout with hepatitis during the last two years.  The first fight between the two heavyweights was close, with Chagaev earning the decision due to his evasive moves and smart countering.  But Chagaev hasn't approached that form recently, and Valuev is probably better now than he was two years ago (despite an uninspired showing against Evander Holyfield last December).  Also, there's talk that Chagaev almost pulled out of this fight, so I'm expecting the line on Valuev to climb as the fight approaches in the next 24 hours.  My advice is to take Valuev now while the price is still reasonable.

Never mind.  Fight just got cancelled.  Don't place any wagers, as it will risk getting your money tied up for 60 days.

Yeah that sucks.  Not because it was going to be a great fight or anything, but I was looking at taking Valuev as well

yeah i heard that yesterday it wasn't going to happen....after seeing that line i figured it was a no play.....no matter how bad valeuv has looked chagaev is not a moving target like evander...and its seemed like they were begging for chagaev action......good insight and i proabley would have tailed you...

 

too bad on the easy money
