I haven't posted here in a while because I'm still healing from going 11/12 on a multi event parlay and having it broken by Tito Ortiz winning. My confidence has been pretty shot since then

This should probably be posted in the OP as a warning to others.

It's pretty amazing that we can have like 5 people making bets on fights and not a single loving one can get any right

I disagree. Consider the kind of person who bets on MMA.

Does this person seem like the kind of person who is likely to make correct choices?

Thiago Santos at 7/2 against Uriah Hall seems disproportionate, I wonder if people are googling him and seeing the other Thiago Santos' (TUF Brazil heavyweight) far worse record and betting based on that. Betting on Uriah Hall to lose is a very possible outcome.

That's what I thought too. I might have put some money down there if I was the sort of person who enjoyed gambling.

attackmole posted:

I have 3 bucks on Bruce Leeroy at +550, 3 bucks on Santos at +325 and one buck on Davis at +600. Stupid underdog bets for life.

I wish you were throwing away more money instead of a pretty reasonable three dollars, but thank you for this nonetheless.

So whenever there seems to be a goon consensus or Jase1 makes a bet I feel like that's the indicator to maybe not move forward.

No streaks last forever. It's time to double down and make some real money now.

So I will add this . If Arkansas beats Kansas state by 13.5 and there are 2 more touchdowns I will up the bet to 10k. I also have Oregon -7 but I don't think that game will finish by the the time Lawler fights.


Edit: ok I won both those bets and I am undefeated For the day. So I have now upped the bet to 10k. This is the month end bet so if I lose this my account is wiped out pending the Oregon bet.

Wow. Man. Wow.

I'm sorry.

If there's a fix in it's extremely doubtful Coker/Bellator are involved, because while Kimbo losing to DaDa would be a great one-time cashout for the people betting against him it would be really bad for Bellator's medium-term business

Exactly. Also, does Coker even have anything in his past that hints at fight fixing? What's Kimbo getting paid for this fight? Tennis has that whole scandal going on right now, hard to imagine that a fighter with no real future in fighting wouldn't be tempted to cash in.

Or else someone sneaked in while Dada 5000 was training and confirmed that his public bag work is in fact a simple ruse.

I am in the perfect place to get my money back. 100 degenerates just saw me lose 5k and think I am on tilt and now alot of them will take shots at me at the poker table.

Let us know how it went, man. We're rooting for you. I'm imagining you as a modern day Maverick, but with more gambling and fewer gun fights. If Alfred Molina shows up, be careful.
