Sorry boys just a couple more quick questions. Which sites have Belfort winning at 6.87? The only Australian place I could find that takes bets on MMA was sportsbet which had it listed at 4.75. & what reason would they have for not falling in line with what I'm guessing are the offical/U.S/Vegas odds?
The odds increase if you're betting that Vitor will get the finish rather than just winning outright.

I'm going to toss some of my Mayweather money on this card. I haven't had a chance to watch weigh ins though, and I don't bet without seeing those.

Cormier by decision at +290, might be one of the best props in a while.

Is tonight the greatest moment in Dominick Cruz's life?

No.

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

it isn't bad but if Rumble does get flustered in the earlier rounds and gasses by the 4th or 5th I wouldn't be surprise to see Cormier get a late TKO stoppage. He might even get another late RNC like he did in the Hendo fight and join the ranks of Clementi - Koscheck - Vitor.

Rumble looked gassed as gently caress awhile back in that Arlovski fight. His gas tank may be questionable so yeah I figure if it goes to championship rounds there's going to be a Cormier stoppage there.

Gross Weidman is down to -380 from -500. It probably means nothing but I don't like to see the line change that drastically in a short span.

It's probably because of the testosterone stuff. Mark Hunt was briefly the underdog against Nelson when sites started reporting bogus rumors about his weight cut.

you can goldmine this thread at UFC 200 where I'm sure a ton of dumb bets will be placed, and then we can begin anew.

A man who makes these kinds of wagers for this many years can usually afford it OR is in a different income bracket than the rest of us.

If I'm correct Jase does well in the rest of his gambling habit. Well enough to be a Godsend to us at least.

stop the fucking fight, cornerman, your dude is fucking done and is about to be killed.
Jase is funny but he can afford the comedy. The real highlight of the mma gambling thread was the guy who bet 'more than he could afford to lose' on the undertaker during one of the pro wrestling extravaganzas. I still laugh about that.

just from quickly skimming his posts in the thread and adding it up Jase is up about $500 or $600 lifetime betting on UFC (assuming he wasnt lying about his bets) so that goes to show the confirmation bias going into thinking that he always loses and its hilarious. Yes you will lose more often than not when you bet on underdogs, yes sportsbetting is a losing proposition long run for the most part, but not for the reason "MMA is unpredictable and you lose sometimes" or whatever people seem to think

It was funny when everyone bet on Coleman though.
