yeah. I had similar bets on Ferguson and Holm so I didn't lose much on the Duffman and that exchange was pretty funny.

up next: betting on Ross Pearson

whats the odds on ross. id say dunhams going to be his best KO yet but the icing he put on stout will be hard to top, even against a hittable herky jerky nothingman like dunham

There was a brief time when Edgar was champ and Dunham kicked Sherks rear end and looked to a legitimate threat to Edgar. I remember being worried that his length could give Frankie trouble. Then Melvin of all people starched him and ruined his career.

Him kicking sherks rear end involved sherk having the best round of his life, the only time he ever managed to gently caress somebody up with gnp, and then he gassed and evan boxed him. sherks whole thing was he wouldnt gas for five rounds. he gassed in 1 round. he wasn't the same fighter. and besides that, before he gassed he had the most glorious, dominant, violent round of his entire 30+ fight career. Dunham is basically a big, tough, goofy gently caress. he never looked good to me. I always thought the perception of him as being a super talented fighter because of the sherk fight was based more on the value of the name than what it really showed

I literally just shut down a 2/5 game tonight with pure luck and a full bottle of Glen Levit in my system over 8 hours and it 's the last day of the month and I have 9k total in my account with my bookie. So I have decided to up the aldo bet to a total of 9K on him at +140. If I lose it my account goes to 0 and I start again next month. If I win it I am buying my wife a car for her birthday/Christmas present since they are both this month and she is aware of this, in fact she is has already planned a party for the fight and invited all her friends.. I can't quite remember right now for various reasons, Glen Levit being one of them, but I think this might be the most I have ever bet on sports.

My bookie cut me off today. He will no longer take bets from me. Hopefully I find one that will accept my bets before the Cormier fight because I want to place a large wager on him. This is the first time since I started sports betting a couple of years ago that I have been dropped and it feels loving awesome! I use to hear my gambling friends talk about that and I never knew I would actually have that happen to me and it's all because of this thread. I use to come in here and be mocked and I had to prove you guys wrong or it would have drove me crazy. I am such a douche for getting all riled up about internet posts but I am glad I did because I learned how to bet sports in a way that won't break me. Thanks again thread for doing what you do I couldn't have done it without you guys mocking me for betting on MMA. I am sorry if I am rambling but I am still pretty drunk from last night and all of this was in my head so now it's time to go to bed.

Youve done a lot for us too

He probably genuinely doesnt care that much, hes a compulsive gambler and if all his gambling stories he posts are true (maybe) he will sit down at a poker table with a couple grand and get drunk and lose it pretty often so a few bucks on MMA every couple weeks wouldnt matter that much to him. Hes just really defensive and combative so he is gonna have that reaction when a bunch of people make fun of him and his picks. he probably gets more enjoyment from gloating here about his rare wins than he does from actually winning the 10 bucks or whatever

Manyak is smart

fatherdog had barboza/pettis called. I dont know exactly why he thought/how he knew Barboza was technically superior to pettis (or if theres some fatherdog-big dog-barboza newjersyism happening) but he was right about it.

It took a ton of negotiating and lots of fancy presents but after speaking with the wife I am now allowed to place a huge bet on the Mayweather fight. I can't bet pro football for 6 weeks if Iose so here we are. Facetimed with the bookie last night and he said the Mayweather fight is now at Floyd -357 I am stunned at how low it is and spent all night making a deal with the wife so I can place a substantial bet on the fight. Confirmed with the bookie that he wont cancel this bet and he also is letting me go over my max limit for this because he is laying off most of the action anyways. I guess he has a ton of people betting loads of money on Conor which blows my mind. So after a new bedroom set, a new dog named floyd by the way (was the only way I would let her get one) and some new privacy landscaping around our lanai, I can now announce my bet.


50k on Mayweather at -357. Largest bet I have ever placed in my life and I am super confident in this bet. I know the fix may be in but the rush will be worth it.

Im so glad

Masvidal and TJ are turning into pretty sizable underdogs. Thinking of putting some on both if that trend keeps up.

Fatherdog used to say masvidal would beat any 1 dimensional guy. if the guy wrestled primarily, or struck primarily , masvidal would win. So by his theory from a couple years ago, bet masvidal. Personally im 10 times bitten twice shy about masvidal , but Wonderboy is a dissapointment too
