DO YALL WANT A BOXC posted:

i mean reach, height, bigger weight, nunes winning a lot of title fights in a row, all that were compelling in Megan's favor. but also what jase said

Anderson doesn't use her reach well, is much slower and a much worse grappler so her weight advantage doesn't mean much. Nunes winning a bunch of title fights in a row should not be a reason to bet on the opponent with not even a punchers chance because Nunes also hits harder.

Anderson had no path to victory.

Neither did Chris Weidman when he fought Anderson Silva. I mean crazy poo poo happens and it’s fun to bet on and hit a long shot. I fully expect to lose every long shot bet I make. I’m not sure why this is bothering you so much.

It’s gambling! Why do I throw a couple grand on a number in a roulette table when I know it has no shot of hitting. Because when it does I’m the king of the loving world that’s why.

Weidman was a huge middleweight with good, fundamental boxing, powerful hands and a wreslting/top game threat. The fact that you're making such a bizarre comparison is just kind of proving my point.

A ton of people picked him to win because he had such obvious ways to beat Silva. Then he wrestled him, beat him up on the ground and knocked him the gently caress out.

What point that betting on underdogs is stupid?

Do you think we don’t know that? Like you have revealed some long lost secret lol

I’m pretty sure you have been around in this thread since I first started posting. So you know what type of bets I and other goons make. I’m not sure why all of sudden this one particular bet has you so bent out of shape?

you are correct that weidman was a better looking fighter compared to anderson than megan is compared to nunes. to the point, weidman opened at +165, silva opened at -215 for that fight.

the thing with sports betting is that you are trying to find situations where the percentages are in your favor. the fundamental reason some folks bet megan is that they/we thought megan was more of a +400 dog than a +650 dog. that's a good disparity that, if you can judge it accurately, will make you money in the long run.

not trying to overexplain this to you but it seems like you're confused by some of the basic premise of Sports Gambling. which, if you're just being aggressively forumsy than cool, let's get after it. or else post picks bitch

I already addressed why the huge line was still a bad bet. With other match-ups it makes way more sense but this one the odds were extremely correct because the result was so predictable.

The DQ lost me a 37.45 parlay on Elliott, Askarov, Cruz, Blachowicz, Nunes, and Yan. I suck at betting, so I already lost just about every bit of my 65.84 parlay that hit on the Lewis card, and this would've been a nice way to recover...

Oh I’m not mad I just don’t see why you think it’s genius to tell everyone that betting on Megan Anderson was a bad idea. Of course it was a bad bet she was +600. Do you even gamble bro? Lol
You were so smug about us betting on a huge underdog like we didn’t know it was a bad bet, which is exactly what I have been doing in this thread for years making bad bets.

Just call us idiots for betting on mma and wait until I make my next bet and call me an idiot again. No need to be smug and lecture me because it makes you look loving dumb. I’m already dumb for betting on mma in the first place it’s the spirit of the thread.

I bet on under dogs because when they win it makes me laugh and I feel smarter than the odds makers. I'm like "ohhohoh I know more about mma than the pros. I'm so smart and stole their money". None of that is actually true but it makes me feel good and I have fun. A PS5 bought with money you made on a bet on Derrick Lewis just plays better.

You defended this bet as good until it was explained over and over why it was stupid and now you're saying it was just a stupid bet. Pick one.

^^^^ You brought up Weidman vs Silva to justify why you bet on such long odds when that bet had tons of value and was the exact opposite kind of long odds that exist in fight sports. Box posted in multiple threads talking up Megan Anderson and both of y'all seem real mad about it for it being some throw away bet.

If people didn't try to justify those bets as legitimate before and after the fact then maybe this post would make any sense beyond your crush on me.
