Massenzio ruined my parlay tonight, but the fight ruled so I didn't mind much. 20 bucks on Lauzon at +250 more than covered for that, can always count on Melvin to derail his own hype train whenever he gets a good streak going.

Man, if this thing holds up reasonably well through the end of the year, I might put down actual money on some of these fights.

No.

The greatest moment in my life was realizing that I didn't need a belt to be happy.

you don't think that's how every MMA bettor got started? Sure, we can all pick them well when money isn't on the line. then you start betting heavy on melvin guillard because he's a young guy without a drug problem, good family man, finishes fights, benches 315 pounds cold, and even has that look in his eyes.

Palaszewski is at 3 to 1 odds to win against Griffin, which seems like pretty good odds to me. Tyson has been looking pretty average for some time now. Might have to put some cash on Palaszewski to win.

palaszweski has good punching and great, really phenomenal power, and tyson griffin is the absolute stereotype of wrestleboxer stupidity, but realistically much worse guys have used their grappling to beat bart, and he probably will too. barts always got a real punchers chance unlike most times when people say a guy has a punchers chance, but you probably shouldnt spend your money this way

well there go most of my winnings. I really regretted my bet last night at the weigh ins.. don't bet on mma folks

e: I didn't expect Bart to be able to rock Tyson enough before being taken down or to be able to submit Tyson. Didn't see him as having the power needed to ko/tko Tyson. Guess I was wrong. Also Bart was coming off a layoff/injury and it was his first cut to 145. gently caress.

you bet a semi large amount of money on a guy who just lost to gomi. let this be a lesson to you. go and sin no more.

yeah, that probably signals the end of MMA betting for me. there really are way easier ways to make money out there. There are just too many variables in MMA leading to way too much research for the gains. Harder than I expected. Kinda like poker in the sense that I can do it profitably, but the effort needed far exceeds what I am willing to put in for the gains I am able to achieve, especially when I compare it to what I can make doing legitimate work.

I guess what I am trying to say is, Don't Bet On MMA (at least if you are some pipe-dreamer thinking you can make real money)

e: i find betting actually took away from my enjoyment as well by making me hope someone won instead of just enjoying the fight.

No one's betting on this crap UK card huh? I think Pickett has good value as the slight underdog against Barao, who isn't gonna be able to wrestle The Only Good British Wrestler. The hype is the only reason Barao is favored here.

I'd take that and maybe depending on the odds a bet on Leben because of Munoz's uncanny ability to get dropped by nearly everybody he fights. That said, I do not bet on MMA.
