If you know of a US-friendly site for MMA betting that is going to stick around for a reasonable period of time, let us know. Ever since centsports got merged and lost MMA, I've got nowhere to bet my dollars.

I think it's safe to leave your money with bodog or whatever they renamed themselves. A lot of the guys in the Football betting thread are at least, and it's not shutting down, just moving domains/countries to seek shelter from more gambling laws I would imagine.

Sportsbook.com is where I have my money and they do MMA, though I haven't bet on it. Haven't cashed out yet either, but it looks simple/standard enough. ($5 minimum bets though)

I really don't ever bet on MMA, but I want to have a dog in the fight when I watch this tomorrow so I made some small bets on Brock and Diaz.

If they pan out, great, if not then hey I probably got to watch a decent fight unlike the last 2 boxing matches I spent money on.

You pampered motherfuckers don't know poo poo. I'm going to have motherfuckers pampering my poo poo every hour on the fuckin hour when I get rich off of this bet. $2.09 on my boy Nick Diaz from the 209.

Half unit shot on Bonnar +150. I'm sure this poo poo is probably fixed, and I wish Bonnar was juiced to the gills like in his last UFC fight, but I still like his odds here if there's any chance this isn't a fix. Plus now I have a reason to watch these old dudes fight now. God knows I'm not watching Bellator otherwise.

I see 3 fights left for the night that I can bet on any requests?


Edit: Ah gently caress it the only fighter I know on the card is Lawler. I remember him almost getting his leg kicked off then knocking a dude out. So $500 to win $850 on Lawler.

Tailing this for a smaller amount because I like action and I'm something like 3-12 today, and gently caress IT LETS CHASE.

Also on Gilbert, because why the gently caress not? Dude generally fights up to his opponent. (He's going to get crushed.)

The lesson here kids is you should totally chase when you are down a ton of money on the day. It always works out. Especially when you are drinking heavily and shouldn't be posting let alone betting large sums of money on punch men.

Can you explain draftkings to me briefly and how it's circumventing online betting bans? Do you only win if you beat other people in a tournament, or do they get away with this by converting money into fantasy points and then back into money?

It's exploiting the loophole in the law meant for your fathers old office fantasy football pool. They are considered a "Game of Skill" and wagering isn't tied to the performance of a single player or game, so it's entirely legal under US Law.

The real answer is that the leagues are getting poo poo tons of advertising dollars from these companies so they don't care/aren't pushing to make them illegal.

So you can put 50 bucks down on one event spread it out then cash out based on your bets? I thought you had to beat other users of the site or something like that.

It isn't a moneyline bet, it's scored like fantasy football and played like fantasy football. Basically you craft a roster that you think will score you the most points based on their scoring system, enter it into either tournaments (1000s of people, big payouts at the top), Leagues (generally around 25 people, top 3 win), 50/50s (top 50% win, -110), or h2h (player vs. player, -110).

$50 on dos Anjos +455 (I know that I'm throwing money away here, but I hope to get more than 14 seconds out if it like when I did this betting against Ronda.)

I can't pull the trigger on Brown, and they're no value there judging by how much better shape Hendricks is in.

You're worried about throwing 50 dollars on Dos Anjos, but bet 500 on Overeem. I love Alistair but uhhh

I have faith in Alistair's superior diet of horse meat compared to Nelson's diet of Big Macs.

Also I saw value on Reem when he opened -190, -155 was a must play.

$20 on Felice +115

Added Miller +120 for $10. No real reason other than gut feeling and my inner degen wants to throw more money around so that I have something to do tonight besides watch the Rays game that I also bet on. Fights are way more entertaining to bet on.

Herring came in with too much muscle and not enough cardio/conditioning. Which was my main concern after watching the weigh ins having placed my bets. She nearly had Van Zandt in the 1st though. Her ground game before she gassed was on point though.

Also just because its lame when people come in this thread to talk poo poo but never post bets, I put some money on Holloway because i think him at +130 offers some value, it could easily go either way though so when Swanson just knocks him out in the first round 30% of the time this will be one of those funny predictions people can laugh at

Glad someone won some money tonight. Congrats!

This next fight is a good one for those guys that think its stupid to bet on MMA because "its so unpredictable", you dont really see 13 to 1 odds in the UFC often anymore, the stupid betting public is very sure of Jacare winning so if you think that Camozzi has a better than like 8% chance of winning then heres your meal ticket baby

Yeah....I didn't. The second that fight goes to the ground Jacare wins. Period. And he proved it.

EDIT: I didn't see any value in Machida/Rockhold either.

I've got well over a grand on Mayweather in various forms this weekend. Hit him at hard at -220, -210, -200, hard again at -190, and 12rd decision at -109. Super small bet on the draw at +1275 or some poo poo like that, in case of some Vegas boxing fuckery to get a rematch.

Also on Lomachenko/Rodriguez under 9.5 rds at +135 for a small bit of change.

By the end of the night I'll be popping black bottles at the bar ala The Money Team or drowning myself in a large bottle of Rebel Yell whiskey at home.

I love boxing y'all.
