edit: i'm probably gonna drop a 20 on handy when I go to 129, +265 is pretty decent.
I would rewatch Couture/Vera before making that bet. Age was already catching up to him by that fight, and it was nearly 2 years ago

And Rogers arguably lost to Ruben Villareal

+390 is still terrible puncher's-chance odds on someone who got taken down multiple times by James Thompson, against someone who's been stopped by strikes once in his entire 34-fight career

The only safe bet for Nelson-Werdum is that it will be awful.

theyre both pretty fearless and Nelson's standup isn't good enough to make Werdum shoot endlessly. it might be a sloppy fight but it probably won't be boring

anyone betting on coenen against cyborg? i haven't seen either of their recent fights, but she's +500 and has put on muscle since their last match, while cyborg's looking a bit leaner (probably due to getting blood-tested and/or dieting to eventually make 135)

Even if Ellenbergers wrestling isnt as good as Hendricks, which I think it is, its infinitely more dangerous because Hendricks doesn't know how to do anything once he gets someone down. Ellenberger has some decent gnp.

didn't Hendricks land some good GnP on GSP in the 4th

Betting on heavyweight fights is stupid and betting on this heavyweight fight is really stupid.

if your line of thinking is 'lol heavyweights anything can happen', then the smart thing to do would be to bet on the underdog

manyak posted:

picking someone to win by a specific method is usually kind of a sucker bet because they take more juice on those types of bets, Rothwell to win straight up at +160 probably had more value but at +260 he only has to knock him out 30% of the time for you to make a profit so it cant be that bad

i thought about this and you're right. the +260 bet wouldve had more value than the +160 bet only if rothwell's paths to victory involve a KO more than 72% of the time

on my site, mendes currently is

+145 (41%) to win
+585 (15%) to win via TKO (37% of mendes' wins will be via TKO)
+670 (13%) to win via SUB (32% of mendes' wins will be via SUB)
+325 (24%) to win via DEC (60% of mendes' wins will be via DEC)
while mcgregor is -165 (62%).

there's a 11% vig betting on the type of win versus the 3% vig if you just bet on the winner

equal bets put on barnett against nelson by decision (+345) and by finish (-110). better than a straight bet (-220) imo

Whoaaah, dude, I was about to say that was a pretty good hedge because I assumed that fight was a 3-rounder, but that's a 5-rounder. Good loving luck on that one going to a decision.
well, gently caress me

On top of that, Barnett's been out for drat near two years so I'm not entirely sold on him as a lock in the first place.
he looked good in metamoris, and he's a tough matchup stylistically for nelson. mind you i also thought he was a good bet at -180 against browne

Macdonald wins in round 5 +2625
Macdonald wins in round 4 +1825
Macdonald wins in round 3 +1325

these seem good to me but maybe i'm retarded

Assuming you put even amounts on each of the 3 bets, you're getting odds of around +530

Whether you think that's better value than McDonald via finish at +309 or via decision at +284 is up to you

that's interesting what fight was he slowing down in? if you cite the one directly after his surgery i agree, he was never back to his old self, but he was still able to out point a fully steroided johny hendricks who was so dangerous that he could box inside with robbie lawler for 10 rounds and if everyone's honest, win the majority of them. and that was gsp's last fight.

i dont disagree but remember that he suffered another ACL tear (on his other knee) shortly after retiring
