Why does anything give a gently caress about this past, "Hah hah, your bets are entertaining to us!"

Here are my stupid bets - *(9303) Benson "Smooth" Henderson -130 Aug 31/13@09:30p Competitor: (9302) Anthony "Showtime" Pettis Web US$ 5.00 US$ 3.85 Going to be a good fight but I see Benson doing some layin' in the near future. *(9501) Ben Rothwell +110 Aug 31/13@08:00p Competitor: (9500) Brandon Vera Web US$ 5.00 US$ 5.50 Never, never, never stop underestimating how bad Vera is capable of being. *(9301) Frank Mir +155 Aug 31/13@09:00p Competitor: (9300) Josh "The Warmaster" Barnett Web US$ 5.00 US$ 7.75 Frank Mir is a lot better than he gets credit for AND faced actual competition with some success in the past five years. *(9305) Clay "The Carpenter" Guida +325 Aug 31/13@08:30p Competitor: (9304) Chad "Money" Mendes My stupidity bet of the evening. Guida should lose but has a great ability to herk jerk Jardine himself into some close decisions, so that's a thing. I parlayed them all for a buck as well because gently caress it.

Okami as a two to one underdog, worth a gamble?

I've known about Souza forever but have about a combined thirty seconds of actual memory in my head for judging him. My gut said Okami shouldn't be that big of an underdog.

caiman posted:A stupid newbie question: Your returns on heavily favored fighters would be tiny and one upset would really gently caress over your meager winnings. MMA betting is only fun on underdog bets (MATT SERRA KNOCKED OUT GSP WOO I WON MONEY ON THAT NEVER FORGET!!!) or stupid parlays.

caiman posted:Makes sense. So on average how common are upsets (I'm new to MMA too)? I would think if they didn't happen more than about every 1 in 5 fights, then a favorite-betting strategy would still be mildly profitable. But maybe they're more common than that? Let my misadventures be an example. I've recently bet on Anderson Silva, Machida, and Benson Henderson.  But I also bet on Anthony Perosh and Rothwell. Apparently the stupider a pick the better I do.

My NFL betting supports my MMA idiocy betting. I view MMA betting as more entertainment and rarely put more than $5 on a fighter. (Except for $20 on A. Silva, Machida, and Benson ARGH!)

If you bet on Hendo you might as well bet on the KO, it's the only loving way it's happening if he wins.

I bet on Rin, Amir, Gomi, and pretty much every other bad fighter knowing that my Hunt to win bet and Hunt prop bet to finish the fight would cover. It did. Nothing was gained or lost but the entertainment of yelling at bad underdogs. Except Amir. He isn't bad.

MrSmokes posted:jase1 you're the greatest, as always. I love Cerrone but I would actually think Jury could very well beat him and should be at even odds. From a strictly gambling standpoint, I'd think Jury is the better underdog bet. Still coin-flippy, but good value. I still hope Cerrone smokes his smug rear end.

My bored bets that I placed for entertainment tonight. I bet against the Japanese guy on the principle that he is Japanese. Now I found out he's fighting a loving Schulman guy. Whatever. Seems legit. Burkman because he paid me against Fitch and I hate Lombard with a passion. Cerrone because I think it's a toss up and want him to win. Cormier for good luck. These are four lock losses. Mark my words.

LIKEINEEDTHIS posted:I've been lured into betting on MMA for the first time ever after watching Vitor Belfort highlights and and seeing the crazy odds for his winning in early rounds. Typically I'm very reluctant to bet at all (I'm a tonne of fun at casinos) but since I'm watching the show live at a bar with some mates I figured I'd spread half the aussie cost of PPV access (which is what I usually wind up paying for watching shows live) over Belfort taking the first three rounds. Gambling isn't for you.

I'm pretty shocked that Aldo is a underdog. That seems like a way for the bookies to win a good deal of money. Look, I want Conor to win but gently caress...I think an Aldo bet might be smart here.

He put 10k on here at +1250 It's going to be another seven or eight years before the odds have someone as such an underdog.

Bovada is super easy to deal with but they are wise on the lines so you aren't going to get great action compared to other places. I like them for the ease of use and their customer service is great.
