Alright, so you wanna know how to bet on this BKFC thing, huh? It ain’t rocket science, I tell ya. It’s just like bettin’ on them regular boxing matches, but with more…well, more bare knuckles, I guess.
First off, you gotta be in the right place to even think about bettin’. They got rules, you know? You gotta be in one of these spots: Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maine, North Carolina, Oregon, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, Wyoming, or even up in Canada, that Ontario place. If you ain’t there, well, tough luck, buttercup. You ain’t bettin’ on nothin’.
Now, the bettin’ itself? It’s simple. You’re basically just guessin’ which fella’s gonna beat the tar outta the other one. You pick a fighter, see? And you say, “That fella’s gonna win!” And then you put some money down on it. If you’re right, they give you more money back. If you’re wrong, well, you lose your money. That’s how it goes, same as bettin’ on which rooster’s gonna win the cockfight, though I ain’t never seen one o’ them BKFC fellas with feathers.
- Pick your fighter.
- Decide how much money you wanna bet.
- Hope your fighter wins.
They got these numbers, see? They call ’em “odds.” Them odds tell you how much money you can win. Like, if they say “2 to 1,” that means if you bet a dollar, you win two. If they say “3 to 1,” you win three for every dollar you bet. The bigger the number, the more you win, but it also means the fella you’re bettin’ on is less likely to win. It’s a gamble, like everything else in life.
Them BKFC fellas, they fight different than them regular boxers. They don’t got them big gloves, see? They just got their bare knuckles, and that makes things a whole lot rougher. They can hurt each other real bad, real quick. So, you gotta think about that when you’re bettin’. Is the fella you’re bettin’ on tough enough to take a punch? Can he dish it out too?
These fighters, they get paid for fightin’, you know? Some of ’em, they don’t get paid much, just a couple thousand dollars, maybe. But some of ’em, the good ones, they can make a good chunk o’ change, like twenty thousand dollars even! That’s a lot of money where I come from. So they’re fightin’ hard, you can bet on that.
Now, these fellas, they gotta wrap their hands up a bit, but not too much. They can put tape around their wrists and thumbs, but they can’t cover up their knuckles. That’s what makes it bare-knuckle, ain’t it? And they gotta stand on this line when they start fightin’, they call it “toe the line.” Two lines they got, makes it fair I reckon.
This bettin’ stuff, it can get tricky. You gotta know the fighters, gotta know who’s strong and who’s weak. And even then, sometimes the underdog wins, the one nobody thought could do it. That’s what makes it excitin’, I guess. But don’t go bettin’ your whole life savings on one fight, you hear? That’s just plain foolish. Bet smart, bet small, and maybe, just maybe, you’ll win a little somethin’.
And remember, at the start of the round, they “toe the line”. It all happens real fast once they start swingin’. Bare knuckle means the damage comes early and comes hard. So, before you go bettin’, think hard about who can take a punch and who’s gonna be left standin’ at the end.
So, that’s the long and short of it. Bet on BKFC? It’s easy and hard all at the same time. Find a place where it’s legal, pick your fighter, put down some money, and hope for the best. Just don’t come cryin’ to me if you lose, alright? I ain’t responsible for your bad luck.
