UFN 101 - Whittaker vs Brunson - Australia

[TimCoreCombat]

And I get that some want to alpha everyone else in this thread but can we be civil and just talk about the fights and avoid our own fighting?

Seriously, it's a little absurd.

Agree 100%.

I watched him train in person at Tiger. He looks a lot better with his striking. I can't say that will definitely make him a better mama fighter but after working with kru muays everyday I think his striking has improved. He also seems to have better wrestling training under Hickman.

I like Hooker in this fight but I am admittedly a little bias towards guys who come to Tiger. They generally win me a lot of money off of their improvement.

Do you know much about alex v?

Does anyone think Damien Brown is a good play? I think the Line of Tuck is generous. He's is better than Brown in every aspect of the game. Gamblou thinks money will come in on Brown but I don't see it.

Isn't it a hassle to get on a plane and fly somewhere to make bets, especially since brick & mortar sportsbooks in Las Vegas don't usually offer the best prices nor a full suite of props? I personally like wagering from the comfort and convenience of my own home. Do you just like visiting and enjoying Vegas that much?

I assume its a limits thing. I do something similar by going into actual bookies to place my bets. Its a pain in the arse but gets me around limits.

Actually many times in Vegas ML bets are better priced. And Good luck dropping 20k on a fight via online sites. I think I'm gonna have a real problem with withdrawals on my off shore books.

Could u even imagine trying to withdraw 30 or 40k out of 5 Dimes or BM

All of that is true regarding what you said, yes. Way better to gamble on the sites than these lame Vegas books.

But I enjoy the instant gratification of cashing out my bets right then and there. I'm also part of a flight club that offers me low rates for flights as low as 50-80$ round trip from my local airport in Long Beach. And I'm also connected with club promoters out there so whenever I feel like hounding chicks I'll get in pretty easily.

All n all, I need to feel really good about the bet, I'll need an ace up my sleeve to warrant a trip out and I believe Brunson is the ace. I had a huge 100$ parlay for that Mexico card last time out that almost paid 13,000$ and I'm very skeptical about hitting that type of money so often on 5Dimes without them banishing me or some sh*t eventually. Plus I've already signed some tax forms with some Vegas sports books that will be accounted for when I win so I don't need to get fucked with by the IRS if they ever do fuck with me.



My homie tried to convince me to take Griffin straight up and I paid for it dearly. From what I read not sure if my resources are true but I'm allowed to hit a parlay that won't be taxed as long as it's under 1x300 in odds. I usually try to drop off a 100$ lottery ticket any time I'm in Vegas. Imagine trying to cash this on 5dimes, they'd pull out every stall tactic in the book to keep it there.

Never betting on Tuck again after that last performance

Third party chiming in.

Online sports books usually have better odds and they actually have props.

It's fun cashing in real tickets and I feel more of a "rush" exchanging money at the sports book. Mostly just the experience.

I also get emails for free hotel rooms and buffets everymonth to either Las Vegas or jackpot(2.5 hour drive for me).

 

[Sham5916910]

Get your br up brick and make it a monthly or two monthly trip. Thats my plan

Yeah it was a terrible performance but Emmet was a short notice replacement and I think Tuck really struggled with the footwork and angles. Tuck also said he had a lot of injuries going into that fight.

Damien Brown is not a UFC level guy despite looking good against the guy that has the p4p weakest chin in MMA. Brown is a massive step down from Emmet and doesn't have the style to cause Tuck the problems he's struggled with in the past. Tuck is just better everywhere and has only lost to solid competitors like Lee, Parke. Iaqunita and Emmet. The only way I see Brown winning is by turning this into a dog fight and winning a close decision on home soil. Tuck would have to look like shit for this to happen though. Tuck is also a BJJ black belt and Brown has awful TDD, I think Tuck can get him down if he wants. Tuck has also done his Camp at Kings MMA. I've got Tuck parlayed with Matthews, feel confident.

I like Las Vegas a lot myself, but living on the East Coast it's far and I only go once a year for business. There's a lot to do but I spend a week there and never gamble a nickel ironically, even when there's a UFC happening somewhere while I am in town because the odds are always worse and I have better options with my online sportsbooks. I'm not overly worried about limits either, not at this point anyway. Between my main popular fiat sportsbooks and Bitcoin sportsbooks plus other potential options I could pretty easily get $5k to maybe around $10k on a single fight, which is way richer than what I risk now. I get that it could be fun if you go with friends or want to party and do other things though.

I actually get better lines when I shop the books in Vegas. I usually hit William Hill at stateline(gold mine). They will take a 20k bet no problem. I then hit the M on the way into Vegas. Ok book. Nothing special. Then I go into Westgate. This is the thing. Westgate usually has sub par prices. But is uber popular none the less.

Also hitting the home book of a card. MGM for instance is worth it. They up their limits drastically.

Catching a boxing opener at a book(usually MGM is great)

I can also get that on a single fight online. But I'm not liking the prospect of withdrawing 10s of thousands of dollars. I've been burned online before

I feel like he SHOULD win but Tuck needs to show up and not be a complete bum. I also think Emmett had some pretty good footwork too I'm going to bet on him in Sacramento.

I'll take a look at all of those listed thanks. Imagine if Vegas had offered MMA props I'd fucking ski mask these hotels and walk out the front door.

I hear you man online is way better. I've just learned how to use bitcoins so good things are to come. Cheers!

It's amazing how some people can go on like that for several pages arguing about one of the most irrelevant fights on one of the most irrelevant cards of the year. You'd also think the fact that they expect the fight to be super close and possibly a split decision would make it redundant for betting opportunities (apart from maybe the overs).

You don't have to bet on every single fight on the card folks, you can leave it alone if you're not sure.

I will if I'm single otherwise that's not ever happening if I value having balls attached to my dink

 

[EzFlyer]

EZ - why are you confident in Hooker? How do you see this going?

really impressed w/him lately, obviously the last fight especially.. but when he hooked up with magny, his work ethic and attitude have changed. i have no fears of him gassing anymore, really.

i think night is basically a guard player w/terrible wrestling. he throws decent volume but only when guys let him. alers has been such a letdown in the ufc the past few fights. dude just has terrible output, fight IQ, cardio. whenever he tried to be offensive against knight, he was effective. i think hooker will be putting it on knight the whole time. he's longer, too, and the crowd will be behind him (and judges maybe) on those close rounds.(tho i think he could finish knight)

You're selling me but I can't do it remembering how pissed off I was with him. Are you The Dawg?
