Higher variance = higher sample size before you can say with X degree on of certainty that it's within the margin of error, I think.

Guessing the +400 bettor has higher variance, but I'm not actually sure because I'm not sleeping enough and to lazy to think it through.

To me, variance would be similar since -400 bets have high swings as well on losses. In the very short term the favorite bettor would yield better results more often, but it should be the same long term.
 
i can't resist edgar -120, i know i should probably wait more, but i see just huge value and i'd be mad at myself if it does go back the other way.

adding to edgar.

also taking some of these +350ish lines on polo and christensen. the lines are just off. same deal here. they could end up going a little higher with reduced juice.. but they could also go back the other way and i like the price just fine.
 
Played Casey No SC at -147. Now -540. Lol

lol wtf. casey nsc -540. yet their individual ITD lines are +375 and +483

i'm on casey here and i tried to hit that -147, but -540!? ok, i'm considering JAG nsc at these absurdly elevated numbers (just considering...)
 
zzzzzz. Less arguing about b.r management/Luca/ROI bullshit and more talking about the fight card please.

on the contrary we need more talk about bankroll management, anyone who has been following these threads for years should realise it's gone down the shitter when it comes to people being sensible with their money, and it sets a dangerous precedent with a lot of new people coming into the threads and potentially tailing others and such. we could move it to another thread but It needs to be seen in the big event threads like these
 
Do you not consider Maia's run a bit of a smoke screen considering Brown and Condit are retired fighters (basically)
Gunnar is weird and wanted to test his grappling, Magny laflare and Yakolev don't carry huge strike threats?
I tend to agree. If Maia grabs a hold of mas and pushes him into the fence it can absolutely look like the previous fights. But I said it with the jj/Andrade fight and I'll say it again. The result of the previous fights don't outweigh the techniques and factors that lead to that result. Condit got subbed quick but condit was fighting after saying multiple times he wanted to retire. His heart wasn't in it. Brown was doomed from the word go. He's a go that builds momentum like a snowball but he does it by hanging out in clinch range. Against a guy like Maia who's Judo/wrestling/ day one bjj self defense takedown game is absurdly good, it's a recipe for disaster. Of course, again, it's possible for Maia to dummy mas if he gets him down, I just don't see mas giving up the takedowns as easily as those guys.
 
Wrong, if the hedge is +ev it increases roi, if it's -ev it decreases. The only thing it does from being a "hedge" instead of a normal bet is decreasing risk, which is only indirectly correlated to ROI.

this is true. hedging your bet with a -ev play to lock in a profit will lower long term roi. they are two separate bets therefore adding a hedge will increase your roi if it is a +ev play or reduce it if it is a -ev play. assuming the bets ev is greater than your long term roi
 
Sure, ROI isn't going to take everything into account, but it's taking a lot more into account than just saying "whoever is ahead more right now is doing better". ROI is a much better LONG TERM indicator. And the big thing with ROI is being used as an equalizer with unit size and bankroll. Someone who is betting $100 per event and is up $1000 for the year is probably going to be better to follow than someone who is betting $500 per event and is up $2000 for the year.

it's such a blanket statement though, I get what your saying and it may be true for a lot of people in here, but for a lot of people ROI is very unreliable over the long term unless your betting style is extremely consistent while focusing on a limited betting strategy.
and your still not taking into account how harder it is to make a bigger ROI with a larger bank and stake size.
 

100% disagree man,

we can take it in their later but you know as well as I do how easily people can be influenced. especially when you have some people charging a considerable amount of money for their picks, whilst constantly making 5-20u bets or more in between losing their entire bank, whilst having a lot of influence in here... it's downright fucking dangerous for a lot of people. just skim through any random event thread this year and look at the amount of people making ridiculous bets, that in the long run will likely wreck their bankroll...

more talk is needed in the big threads like these to make sure people realise the potential pitfalls of betting.

in a better time & place, imo.
 
Stipe

-been a champ a long time

-ATT camp was different and had a good chance to work with good female fighters
-wants to goto 125 but only after 1-2 more fights in 2017

***********tells a better who has put 500 euros on her, he can relax cos she is winning*************
-likes to train ji jitsu, wants to enter some ji jitsu competitions later on in the year.

off topic but JJ was sporting a slight bruise in-between her eyebrows



Eddie Alvarez interview

-feeling great, good weight cut and full on energy
-loss on Conor, bitter pill to swallow on that loss but has learned from it
-Discusses his moment about losing on the big show, how he had to get it over with to get better
-can now do things he could not do before the loss, can throw strikes that he would usually not
-fighting is fun again


-bouncing back harder from last loss
-motivation is still there to fight
-guys that push forward will suffer since it brings out the pressure in himself
-wants to get completely 'lost' and be himself in the cage since it creates magic
-Got too nervous and never settled in the Conor fight

(lots of questions about his Conor loss, eddie had to repeat several times its in the past and forgotten....followed by a question about his loss.......

Final Word

This is an exciting matchup in the best women’s division in the sport. Though Jedrzejczyk has not given anyone reason to bet against her, the odds are surprisingly close. Depending on where you look, Jedrzejczyk is the favorite anywhere between -162 to -195, while Andrade is in the +130 to +150 underdog range. Andrade’s superior power and explosiveness make for an intriguing contrast to Jedrzejczyk’s superior technical application. They both have ways to win, and no matter what happens, this fight promises to bring fireworks.

I need someone to physically stop me adding any more to my Maia bet. He's officially the biggest I've went on someone since I started betting. If he wins I'll feel #elite, if not, I'll be pissed at my self. Gambling is a viscous cycle.

I'll try although I feel the same way about that fight. What stops me from betting a ton on a fight I like is I envision that THIS fight will be the robbery decision of the year. I don't want to have a lot of money on a fight and there will be a dominant round for my fighter scored 10-9 and a much closer round given 10-8 for the other fighter. Or just a bad decision, I don't want to be sitting there waiting for the cards thinking I won and hear a split decision....
 
Been going back and forth on some things...

Decided to scrap betting on maia/Mas

I know some of you are on andrade here, but i feel most confident in picking Joanna, and frankie edgar. Those are the two i feel most confident in. Kinda wanna play them in a two man parlay, might just lay the juice on frankie..but eddie alvarez at Even odds this morning made me salivate.... Any thoughts?

How do you think eddie wins?
I think eddie has superior wrestling to dustin. DP didnt look that good to me vs jim miller, he was getting battered towards the end in the third round. This fight is also a three rounder tho. I feel eddie can do exactly what he did to pettis in this fight, assuming he does not get in a brawl and stand with dustin. What do you think?

I rewatched DP vs Jim the other day and concur about the wrestling. Miller is a phenomenal scrambler but has never been that good at offensive wrestling. He scored an easy td in the first, and a couple of times got really deep on a single. DP didn't even really try to sprawl. Eddie is a much better offensive wrestler, hes not just gonna let DP shuck off the deep single like its nothing like he did to Miller
