Just finished watching UFN 83 last night.

I really feel for the Reneau bettors. I'm fairly certain two of the judges mixed the girls up since 30-27 Smith and 29-27 Smith are incomprehensible scores.

we figured out that 29-27 was just a clerical error and it was actually 2928 Smith

The worst part is that was the only legitimate actual scorecard. The one that was read as 29-27. Cause they gave rd 1 to reneau and 2/3 to Smith. All 10-9's.

The 30-27 is nonsense. Rd 1 was 100% reneau

29-28 reneau card was also bad. Why? Cause that judge gave Smith Rd 1. ...Yea. You read that right.

Whew. That is absurd.

This is why it can be dangerous to bet when fights are held in places that don't usually host UFC fights. The commissions don't come under enough scrutiny.
 
IMO betting UD and split decision lines is such a gamble as judges are so unreliable.

I think its fine betting x fighter to win by decision but to get that specific to say UD or split is just asking for disappointment. There is always one jack ass judge that will make your UD bet a loss.

I agree and disagree. I agree with you on betting UDs, but disagree about the SDs. Usually, UDs barely payout more than the regular DEC line and you have to depend on the judges to get it right. However, if you think it will be a close fight that is most likely going to a decision, SD could be a wise choice. In this instance I usually bet the fighter with the higher SD line. If the lines are fairly close, I bet on the fighter who I think will win. In some cases I've been on both fighters by SD, essentially betting the fight going to a split decision. Furthermore, I've seen SD lines payout more than 5x of a fighters DEC line. I have already hit 2 SD lines this calendar year. Robbie +8xx/Condit 10xx. I bet both basing it on the "close fight that will most liekly go DEC". I also hit Cruz SD +877 which was almost 4x the payout of his regular DEC line (I also bet Cruz regular decision)
 
What odds (decimal) do you predict on:Latifi vs Villante, Lawlor vs Anderson, Erock Silva, Sanchez vs Miller?
 
i think, of those two, sham is closer on latifi and e.silva, and joseph is closer on miller.

you both had anderson the same, obv

Hoping Sham is right. Would gladly play Latifi at -250 and Taleb as a dog vs -400 Silva
 
yea, take it back, forgot it was taleb, he won't be -400
 
Hope you are both right will gladly take Silva anywhere in the 200s. I guess the hype train has been significantly derailed.
 
Also anyone betting Hunt he has not gone to AKA Thailand. He is training in Aus for the Mir fight. A week ago he weighed 293lbs. Not sure how good that is for him a month out from a fight but he did say a week ago he is never cutting a crazy amount again like he did against Miocic. This has made me hesitate to put any more down on him.

That's dissapointing. I havn't put a bet down yet but was planning too.

Not even guessing its that cause of hype train derailment. Losing to Magny in a close fight has no shame. Guessed that line cause imo E.Silva failed the eye test big time as far as PED users are concerned. Will be interesting to see how he looks this time out.

Oh yeah bigtime but he still gave Magny a tough fight. He is also with Kings now too who have surely improved his lack of fight IQ. I dont think Taleb can lay on him for three rounds and standing Silva has a big advantage.
 
just got limited by williamhill and made a deposit, they where asking me about the regular photo/utility bill bs but after I emailed them those they need a selfie with my id in it

a selfie seriously cmon
 
What ratio of dogs-to-favorite do you guys take as far as ML in MMA (for those you keep track, but feel free to guess if you don't)?

Make sure to take it in the bathroom after a mammoth turd to disgust them for the inconvenience. If your avatar is anything to go on, you already have a similar outfit so you know it makes sense. :D

In this thread we discuss various containers for Conor McGregor, no just kidding. It is not the first nor the last time we have arguments/discussions regarding the enigma. Let's keep the other threads clear and discuss Conor here.
