You need haters. Fellas if you got 20 haters, you need 40 of them motherfuckers. If there's any haters in here that don't have nobody to hate on, feel free to hate on me

$500 on the Reem -155

$200 on Jędrzejczyk +135

$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.

good work dude

Thanks. Really had no expectations on the RDA fight other than a hunch he was undervalued with that line. That was a nice surprise though. Hell of a fight too.

There's really not a lot of situations where I would bet on Matt Brown. If someone is capable and willing to stifle him either on the feet or on the ground, and aren't prone to giving that up and swinging, he's very much capable of losing. Love him and his fights but he will never get by people on his level who aren't afraid to eat a bad fight.

The Mike Swick-Erick Silva era of Matt Brown beatings were probably the best time to bet on him. Not sure if he'll ever get more favorable matchups of that nature again (or decent underdog odds) since he's cracked the top 5 of the WW division.

I'm still optimistic that we will get Brown vs Condit someday

Gonzaga is around -170 on most betting sites. That seems like a pretty good line considering that Cro Cop is completely, utterly shot and should have stopped fighting a long time ago.

cro cop has two straight finishes in MMA, eight straight victories in kickboxing (the remy fight was a travesty) and is the last K-1 grand prix winner. whereas gonzaga just lost to a closeted fatty. you make call chief, it's your money.

I mean, I want to believe and all as well, but isn't a repeat of that pretty much the best outcome for Crocop?

Gonzaga is a lot worse than he was in that fight whereas Crocop isnt much worse than he was in that fight. But yes Gonzaga should be a favorite and i dont see a lot of value on either guy if the lines have Gonzaga as -175 or whatever it is

i think in a lot of ways crocop is actually a better fighter than he was last time in the sense that he's not taken aback by the idea of getting hurt from the infallible crocop guard, but he's also worse in that he's glacially slow, his hip mobility is much worse, and he does nothing but clinch constantly now. it's interesting in a profoundly sad and sure to be disappointing way.

That example has an ev of $50 in my favor. That's actually not a terrible wager.

There are equal odds of either outcome occuring, but one pays twice as much as the other.

Came into PSP to read the reactions in the GDT, and saw this thread. Holy crap I hope no one lost too much.

Also it turns out the last time I checked this thread was on page 2, and it cracked me up reading all the warnings of betting on Jones against Shogun.

$20 on Felice +115

She's had an easy weight cut and is in better shape than I've ever seen her in. Paige looks scared, and is inexperienced. She's also a Chicago girl, so I irrationally bet on her. Watch me throw money away!

I'm really surprised to see Mizugaki at +300 to +325 on some sites. I could see him as a slight underdog but that seems like a value bet.

it's a really fun betting card with plenty of value. i've got mizugaki and miller to triumph over the young upstarts in a parlay to win near on 10x my bet and felice, cub, jacare and machida in a parlay for similar odds.

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.

I took Miller by sub. +500 is pretty good value considering how quickly he slaps subs on when he hurts someone.

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.


I was at dinner when Miller was fighting. How bad did I lose that one?
