Yeah, it's a good site to practice at least with no risk. I'm trying to see how relatively good I am at the whole MMA/Hockey betting thing before actually wasting real money on it. So far, no good.

Anyone betting on Hendo?

I'm not betting on him(because don't bet on mma) but I would like for him to win so I can see him vs. Jones.

Plus, it's Hendo.

My boss is putting out an open bet at work that Jon Jones will put Chael Sonnen away in the first round. If Jones finishes Sonnen, he gets 100 bucks. If Sonnen survives the first, we would get 50.

So far, I'm the only one to seriously consider this. Is this a good bet? I can't think of why it wouldn't be, aside from the whole "don't win money from your boss" thing

209 Stockton motherfuckers! What a loving night! Don't know if anyone cares but I am going to post about my experience before my wife gets back to the room with the bottle of scotch that we are going to drink to celebrate and then I am going to play poker all night with a few Vegas friends. I haven't had any alcohol since about 5am this morning because I wanted to experience this with out alcohol and then get loving wasted either way if I won or lost.

The seats we had were amazing I could watch every fighter walking in and there were enough big screens around to watch the fight in the ring. A couple of observations and cool things that happened. Fans around us are really aggressive and cheer like crazy there was some pushing and shoving several times during the time between Tate and Diaz fights it was kind of like being at a Steelers browns game or a game in Eagles stadium. When Connor walked out I yelled Stockton Motherfucker and I swear he gave me a thumbs up or the finger or something but that could just me being high as poo poo from the joint and the adrenaline from the Tate fight. When Nate Diaz walked out some guy kept yelling Jake Shields is a horse face. The crowd did not like Diaz until he won. I know it's probably because I was there experiencing this live but that Tate fight blew my mind especially after she flipped over and made holm tap, but then watching Diaz stun Connor and loving smile and put his hands out was the most bad rear end thing I have ever seen. You could the feel the energy or momentum or whatever it was in the stadium instantly switch to Diaz. It was crazy and then when he finished him it was just a surreal moment. I have never experienced something like that and it was totally worth it.

After figuring everything out I think I won 17750 I won 17500 on Diaz 2250 on Tate and I lost 1k on lawler and 1k on a parlay. I will be turning in my slips tomorrow morning and will collect my cash then. This works out great for me because the seats were 3k and change plus my month long condo rental for the wsop is close to another 3k which leaves me around 11k for the wsop. I just got the ok for the wife and she is cool with me using that to play in the main event this year which is a 10k entry fee. I usually go to the WSOP to play in the cash games but never really play in any events. Now I have that opportunity to play in the biggest one thanks to Nate Diaz and Lawler scoring me brownie points. I owe those two guys bigtime.

I love this loving thread it's the only reason I ever started betting on MMA so thanks for that because without this thread I wouldn't even bet on MMA. Congrats to anyone else who won tonight.

you are a national treasure, hope you gently caress people up in the big one this year

has rory fought anyone with as much reach and height as wonderboy? he beat diaz, but condit beat him and saffiedine/lawler had success in the feet.

i wouldn't be surprised to see him look for takedowns early to counteract Thompson's spinning poo poo, he seems like the type of fighter to take advantage and not get confused by it. I think i like him up to like -150.

also though who knows how he's going to look after that war, i cant believe he's only 26. feels like he's fought everyone at ww

You arent gonna make money gambling, theres no system/technique other than watching the lines move and betting on big underdogs because they tend to be undervalued in MMA. Unless you are bankrolled to drop several thousand dollars on long shot bets and accept that you are going to lose a lot in the short term and maybe win a small amount in the long term its a bad idea

Almost all of his winnings in MMA this year are just from dropping 5k on Nate diaz for example. Before that he bet a thousand dollars on Dada5000 who didnt train for the fight and had a heart attack and died in the ring. If you are not the type of person who would bet $1000 on Dada5000 then dont consider trying to make money betting on MMA

are you actually telling someone not to bet on a fight

So what's the consensus on the Jon Jones fight? I'm for sure betting putting money on Lawler and might bet on the chick facing cyborg just because the odds are so tasty but my gut tells me to bet on jones but my hate for him makes me want to bet on Cormier

Jones is obviously super great, but he's had one fight (?) post-USADA and looked like poo poo in it, and that's been his only fight in the last 2+ years. But he beat DC pretty clean last time, has a crazy reach advantage, and DC has only gotten older. i think Jones takes it 3 out of 4 times, but my gut says DC and I'd like that to happen, so this post is probably not very helpful.

if i bet, i would probably put money on DC anywhere up to like +200, but that's stretching it a ton given what I think is going to happen. a lot of betting sides are offering around there. what's your bookie giving you?

1k on Hendricks at +225

Also 2 parlays 1k on each

Masvidal, JJ and bisping that pays like 4K

Hendricks, masvidal and bisping that pays like 15k

Might throw more on bisping tonight based on how much I drink today.

nothing on cody-TJ? cody is coming off a back injury which always worries me with an athlete, but the odds are so close i'm not sure TJ is worth it at +150

the US has weird reasons that come up against sports betting too. to the point someone made earlier about the lottery, that's right for some states. tennessee in particular has a pretty generous in-state scholarship funded by the lottery that they want to keep not-funded by income or sales tax. and a lot of states, especially where the NCAA is the primary sport, have a lot of people concerned about the players getting paid or corrupted to lose games if there was a lot more money on it due to legalization. the NCAA shaving scandal the guys that goodfellas did in the 60s/70s/70s caused a lot of concern about that
