I tossed $10 to win $15.50 on Mendes last week. I was sucked in. :(

Soo any good fights to parlay with Rousey for UFC 190?

$10 on a Struve / Rua / Rousey parlay for $25

After tossing $10 on Mendez I'm just a bit up. I'm never betting on mma again

Last week I hit Green Valley Ranch sports book and was told I couldn't bet on the fight night card due to the Freitas owning both the ufc and station casinos. Is that a NV law or just company policy?

Sure it's 10 points a week until you pay me back after 30 days it goes to 15 points a week.

Does it compound? So week 1 is $330. Week 2 is now $363. Week 3 is $399. Etc? Or just a flat $30 a week for the first few weeks then $45 a week for subsequent weeks?

No, It's always 10 percent of the balance every week until after 30 days then it goes up to %15 and every month after it the percentage doubles. It never gets past 2 months usually. Most of the people who borrow money are gamblers and they will pay it back within a week or they will be blacklisted at local games and they don't want that. That way it's hard for them to go around and borrow a bunch of money at once and not pay it back.

Football season is starting so I won't bet as much in MMA, but i will be making a large bet on Diaz here soon.

Thanks for the info, the business side of everything is very interesting to me.

Will be in Vegas the weekend of the 10th just in time to bet on UFC 203. Is Caesar's Sportbook better or worse then any of the others within easy walking distance? Hoping to get some decent action for 203 and then Week 1 of the NFL on Sunday.

I'm tempted by Thug Rose +120 vs Joanna Champion in the rematch. T Ferg is a +195 underdog against Khabib but that feels like a sucker bet.

i want max to win so bad it's completely overtaken the logical part of my brain that says khabib is going to effortlessly crush him like he did barboza so yeah 50 on max ftw.

200 on rose.

I got Rose at +120 a few weeks ago. Really hyped about that. I think Max at +325 is very tempting too.

I'm going to Vegas for fight week, and I was thinking of putting a little pocket change on a fight or two of I find a line that makes sense.

I saw Gilbert Melendez was a large underdog against some guy I've only seen fight once, and I think was British. Any feelings on that fight or the other lines?

IIRC Gil is done.

Rozenstriuk v Nagganou goes the distance +275
Cruz wins via decision +230

Isn’t there a casino that is part of the ownership of a sports team so you can’t bet on them at that book?

In 2009 I swear tried to place a large bet on the Celtics I think, and they told me I couldn’t bet on them because of that. I did a lot of hard drugs back in the day so I can’t remember if I’m making this up or not?

When the Ferettias owned Zuffa you couldn’t lay bets on UCF fights at Station Casinos, could it be that?

I had a 4 leg parlay on Hall / Shevchenko / Rose / Usman +850

That was made after Crute went down and killed my 5 leg parlay.

It’s the first 3+ leg parlay that’s paid off in about a year. I’m still down for the year because I make these stupid af parlays.

Don’t gamble.

gently caress I thought the only way Peña wins was via points somehow so I did $5 at +1000

Threw a small wager on Dern, followed by a small bit of profit into Burns, rolled some profit into Sterling, if that pays will roll the winnings into TKZ

Edit: LFG! Put some money on TKZ.

I had a stupid teaser for Chimaev by TKO +225. Don’t do teasers folk.

I hit on Nate by sub in R4 $5 to win $80. Another bet was Nate by sub at +515.

I also bet on Picket to win.

Overall I bet $35 and got paid out $115, net $80

Do you still work at a casino? Are employees allowed to make bets at their properties off shift? Different properties under the same umbrella (MGM / whatever the other one is) company? Or do you have to go across the street to the competition to bet?
