Favorite bet of all time
Tom never hides the fact he likes the occasional draw bet, and landing the big one on the first Canelo vs Golovkin fight - with all the drama and controversy that surrounded both the decision and the fight itself - remains one of his personal highlights.
Most heart-breaking bet
The one that still stings most for Tom is his faith in David Haye in his first fight against Tony Bellew in March 2017. At -700 or more to win outright, Haye’s price was too slim to back outright, but bettors - Tom included - rushed to heavily back Haye to stop Bellew inside the distance, and particularly in the early rounds, of the so-called all-British grudge match.
Haye’s right Achilles ruptured suddenly in the sixth, and the rest is history, with Bellew fans holding anything up to +900 slips.
