Do you happen to know how the payout works if you are in the US? The last time I bet on MMA was back in 2010 and I think I used SportsBook, and when I requested to be paid out through a check, I had a problem cashing it with my bank because they claimed that the check was coming from a bank located outside of the US. After calling the customer support for SportsBook, they told me that wasn't true and there is absolutely no reason that my bank shouldn't accept it. The check clearly said had a an address in New York City, but they kept pointing to the fact that the bank was called "Bank of Canada" or something along those lines and they wanted me to pay some crazy fee to cash it in. In any case, I'd rather not go through that hassle again and was hoping there was a different betting site that is better for US residents.

I cashed out through western union. I think you get one free payout a month or something.
Getting a payout is kind of a hassle in the beginning, though, because you have to verify your identity by sending in photocopy of your driver's license and the credit card you use to deposit with.
According to this random thread I just googled, it's supposedly getting harder to withdraw money, so YMMV.

I've been told Bovada is the easiest. I haven't signed up but I don't think it requires all the extra info/id.

yeah.
I put $20 each on Robbie & Matt Browne, $15 on Howard because if you can spoil the debut of former UFC golden boy and former future champ Urijah Hall you probably have what it takes to beat Cathal pendred's garbage rear end, and $20 on Conor cause I'm an idiot who hates money but loves being wrong

I got $20 on Mendes by any means at $2.85, odds have come in on the website I bet on to $2.50 (that's +185 and +150 for Americans), and I decided I'd throw $10 on Mendes by TKO because it was $6.50 (+550) and that seems like a long shot but pays OK.

I could only get it at +400 but I'll put 1k on it to win 5k. What day is the fight and is it a PPV?

Hey Jase, I read your posts in this thread, and gently caress the haters mate, you keep doing you, and do it the best you loving can. Fight is Saturday 11th, 10pm EDT, from the MGM Grand in Vegas, baby. It's Sunday mid-morning for me and my wife has given me the day off to go daytime drinking with my reprobate friends.

Crownbet gave me a $100 free bet (no money down) and sportsbet gave me a $50 free bet for $50 down. So I have put all of that on Chad Money.

A wiser and less petty man may have hedged it with a bet on Conor. But I don't want to consider a reality where I find another champ as annoying as Tito was.

This is how I bet. Sometimes if said bookie is stupid you can really take him. I'm kinda sorta friends with my bookie and he gave me Weidman +400 against Silva the first fight and +350 the second fight (we had tense drunk debates about who would win these fights and that's how it ended up eventually). Trying to get him to give me Conor even on Saturday since he pretty strongly feels Mendes will win but I'm not willing to meet the minimum he's making me bet.

Bovada is the best site I've used. Your payouts come pretty timely and it's a shady rear end check from Hong Kong but it's perfectly legal. If you don't feel like giving it to a teller you can always just put it in the ATM and it clears just fine.

It's hard to imagine conor cutting the weight he does and not Rumble johnsoning the championship rounds. If Chad's winning, he's probably finishing

I think mendes at these odds is an ok value bet but seeing everyone go Coleman on him gives me pause as there are rarely happy endings for big goon consensuses.. I wish the best luck to all who are brave enough to stand by their conviction and bet

How much was being thrown on Coleman comparatively. Also I'm seriously debating taking Poirier's advice and doing a Lawler/Mendes parlay. Though I do want to be part of the Mendes victory parade so I might just put money on him flat out.

Thanks for the support! Now since I am paying for the PPV it means I have to bet on another fight otherwise I wont watch it. I'm pretty sure the last time I bet on Robbie Lawler he came through for me. So I put another 1k on Lawler to win by TKO/KO/DQ and I got him at +500 to win 6k.

I can't believe how high the odds are on Lawler, although Mendes is currently like +600 by KO.

Bovada doesn't allow people from NJ to sign up apparently. Anyone know of a site that's easy to sign up for? 5dimes requires a bunch of crap like sending copies of ID cards iirc. Don't feel like doing that.

I saw those, I just would like to have someone let me know if they're above board/reliable before I give them my information. I had always heard 5dimes and Bovada were good, but again one requires a bit of a signup process and Bovada is closed out for me now. A couple years ago Bovada was still open for registration in this state. I might have to track down my friend and hound him to use his bookie just so I can participate in this mass Mendes bet.

The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), the National Basketball Association (NBA), the National Football League (NFL), the National Hockey League, and Major League Baseball filed a federal lawsuit against New Jersey to prevent sports betting, based on the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 which banned sports betting in all but four states.[17] In February 2013, United States District Court judge Michael A. Shipp ruled in favor of the athletic leagues, and barred New Jersey from issuing sports betting licenses. The court ruled that under the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution, the regulation of gambling and the granting of a grandfather clause to four states is within Congress's power.[18][19] In September 2013, a three-judge panel from the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals voted 2-1 to uphold Shipp's decision.[20][21] Christie said he will appeal the case to the United States Supreme Court.[22]

Gambling is so stupid in this country.

Bodog gave me a 20% deposit bonus, so I kissed goodbye to 50 bucks and got 60 to play with.

10 on Cathel Pendred to win 8.70
5 on Tim Means to win 8
20 on Dennis Burmedez to win 9.52
15 on Mendes to win 23.25
9 on Robbie to win 13.05.

And a 1 dollar parlay on me loving up every single one of those bets, in which case I get 18 bucks back.
