I put a $200 free bet on Yoel and TJ as a multi which returned $192 (didn't get to keep the stake). I've now cashed out $100 and put the $92 on Costas for the win.

I am preparing for a mixed day.

Brenneman at -170 is the best bet on the card, bet the house on him. I've watched tape on his opponent Beneil Dairush and he really doesn't look all that great. Undefeated at 6-0, but has only fought one guy with a winning record, and that guy was 3-2. I think Brenneman's just way too much for him, especially now that he's dropped to his proper weight class, and I don't get why the line's as close as it is.

I don't blame you because I lost money on this fight. I'm a big boy, I can make my own decisions. I'm just going to call you a oval office and leave it at that.

Every couple of months, if I have a semi-decent run of predictions under my belt, I get the idea that I should put down like :10bux: on a fight, or a parlay or whatever. I want to thank this thread for dissuading me of that thought with such hilarious evidence.

I just bet on Weidman both times against Silva. That ship has sailed though...

Due to the way he won both fights, I reckon there's still money to be made on Weidman.

If through some impossible weirdness their next fight would be Wideman Silva 3 Weidman would be the underdog again probably.

So apparently the deal was I that I have to turn over my $200 free bet 3 times before cashing it out, and I just cashed out some of my existing money I had in the account. So now I have about $390 I need to turn over twice more before I can get my filthy hands on it. Add to this I have been laid off from my high paying job that allowed me to make retarded MMA bets on the reg.

Is anyone putting bets on for tomorrow? My site has Cerrone at +147 which I'm considering.

Are you sure? He's -200 everywhere I can find. His opponent is about +150.
If you've not hosed up, then your bookie has, so bet your savings on Cowboy and lay it off somewhere else for a win-win.

Yeah I totally hosed that, he is at -200 ($1.47 on oz betting sites). Obviously trying to make gambling picks at 4 am with my savings is a good financial move.

Is there anywhere that logs the odds for fights? I'm looking for the history of the "official" fight odds that UFC shows on the fighters' graphic (that shows name, weight, "fighting out of", etc).

Sometimes because there is value in the bet.

When it is in the form of a parlay, it is because the bettor is a coward and will be punished by the the dark god gamblor.

See if there is a prop bet of what Lineker will weigh in at. My guess would be 127.5 or more.

It's completely fool proof and I think I've posted about it before.

I bet x amount of my stake on a fighter who I think is going to win but I don't like, where x is proportional to how much I'll enjoy the other guy winning. So say Jon Jones (who I dislike) fights GSP (who I like), I think Jon Jones will win even though I don't want him to, so I put x money on him knowing that if I lose it, my happiness that GSP just heat him up will cover my losses and I won't mind having lost the money.

I'm sorry if that doesn't make sense I'm really tired after tonight

$785.84.... It was from a $200 free bet that I had to turn over 3 times before I can withdraw it.

$780 win or $780 return for a $400 win?
What's your last bet going to be?

Aug 27, 2004

By the way, if you still have $200 to bet before you can withdraw, put 40 x $5 bets on a bunch of soccer games. Just bet on the home win, you'll win a few and lose a few but maximise your return for a reduced risk.
Alternatively, put everything on a Rousey/DC double.

I have $780 total. My first bet was 200 and the next was 390. So I'm gonna read the fine print as to whether I just have to turn over the initial stake 3 times or the total winnings 3 times....
