UFC 198 PBP/discussion

Don't know how Draft Kings works but it is screwy that Maia doesn't score more points in a fight he dominated virtually every second of before winning by finish.
Kountermove's point system which DraftKings basically copied and tweaked slightly before eventually buying them out was better. Fighters scored points for winning rounds too, which made dominant fighters who won all three rounds en route to a decision victory score higher. That was the main difference to my recollection plus I think more points got scored for some of the grappling moves. Sucks that we don't get any more Bellator, WSOF, Invicta, Glory, Metamoris, boxing and other games either.
 
Down £200 or so on UFC luckily killed it on boxing so still up about £500 for the weekend

Grats to winners
 
Alves killed me would have been up £1500 if he won and over 2k in total including boxing. Sucks!
 
Just finished watching this event. Worst night for me in a while, lost about 5u.
 
So regret not heging or even going massive on barb dec +333. 365 had that cant remember if end of r1 or r2 anyone recall? I would have smashed barb live betting that fight if i hadnt bet on alves. Didnt hedge tho praying we would get a screw job. Got greedy need to stop doing that shit. Hope some you peps lb barb at great odds.
 
only one bet came through and that was 80 on Miocic. So won around 180, could have been worse.

I put 30 on leslie smith. Sometimes I get a bit carried away with the poential of underdogs even when its a woeful mismatch.

i dunno about dec but you could still get barb at + odds in r3. i hesitated because i thought brazil judges would gift me. would have had an astronomical night if alves won as well.
 
Good thing Miocic came through or that would have been my worst night ever.

Barberena has won me more money than any other fighter. I'm probably his biggest fan.

+8.5u. Would have been a lot more, but I lost at least 6u on the main event. (Werdum/overs). I am definitely not complaining though, since I was down 6u after the Cummins fight. I climbed out + more

Congrats to all the winners and to the losers, keep your heads up!
 
i stupidly thought that soft body of barbarena wouldn't be able to absorb alves' hard kicks. oops.

that really should have been a terrible night but i went full nuclear holocaust on the last 4 fights and thankfully won all of them. miocic saved my fucking ass. if avles and cummins won (especially alves) i would have made a mad murphy fortune.
 
Just caught up with the fights. No idea what Werdum was doing. His striking has come on leaps and bounds over the last couple of years, from a somewhat one dimensional fighter to some very good muay thai then he runs at Stipe doing a Matt Riddle impression

Thought he had quite high fight IQ, just very odd.

I think Fabricio got punched in the nose once or twice by Stipe and didn't like it and he decided he didn't want to keep getting hit like that so he went chasing after him recklessly to try to make it a quick fight but unfortunately got caught in the process.
 
I gave this lotto parlay away in the other thread and ironically the safer one (Cummins/Nog dec -140) actually busted and this one hit.

$100.00 $7,655.94 Win 3 Team Parlay
Win 5/14/16 11:00pm MMA Props Fighting 1531 Maia wins by submission +165* vs Any other result
Win 5/14/16 8:00pm MMA Props Fighting 1811 Lineker wins by 3 round decision +439*vs Not Lineker by 3 round decision
Win 5/14/16 6:00pm MMA Props Fighting 2111 Carneiro wins by 3 round decision +443*vs Not Carneiro by 3 round decision

My units are $50 because 5dimes usually limits me to $100 per bet. I picked up some Ls last 2 events so I had to refocus and get disciplined with my unit sizes. I tend to get reckless after a winning event but I'm solid moving forward. And iono about you guys but a MMA capper's career is super taxing lol I get TOO consumed by the sport and I end up overthinking things. I can't believe I'm saying this but sometimes I need those 2 week breaks rather than having 3 events back-to-back. Anyways, my pull-out game is strong, I'm gonna go spend this cash before I give it back to the books :p
