How did you turn 500 into 16k in such a short amount of time? I've never heard of such growth especially with such a volatile sport like MMA.
I don't see MMA as volatile at all.
I think I've watched almost every UFC fight in the last 9-10 years, even the early prelims. Also a ton of other orgs like Invicta and Bellator.
It's made it pretty easy to predict certain things, if not actually who is going to win outright.
I only ever do multi-bets. I know people say that's dumb, but I think those people are approaching it way wrong and don't know the fighters.
I also tested this for about 8 months before I actually started betting. I did fake bets, pretending that I was putting 5k down every time and that I had a grand total of 15k to lose. I was doing pretty stupid bets back then and didn't have much of a plan, but even so, over 8 months that 5k would have been 160k.
With real money, I started betting mainly on women SW and male FLW, but only betting on whether or not they would make it to the 2nd round. Sometimes for them to go the distance if it was the women.
If you know the girls, you will know if they're a sub specialist or not, so you watch out for those ones. Otherwise, the SW girls rarely have enough power to rock each other, let alone finish, especially at the lower ranks. Obviously you don't bet on girls like Andrade and Rose, and you watch out for Barber types surging up the rankings.
HWs are also good, but only to bet that there will be a finish.
I just kept putting maybe 4-5 of those kind of fights to go to the 2nd round or distance on a multi-bet. 4 or so will likely get you close to 2.5 odds or so. That 500 turns into 1500 pretty quick.
Then, I just kept betting higher amounts the more money I had spare. Like, once it got above 5k, I started doing 2k bets. Once it got to around 8k, I started doing 3k. Now at 16k, maybe I'll do 4k. Once I break 20k, I'll probably start on 5k. I've hardly lost, but when I have, I'm pretty confident that the rest of my legs on that card were correct, so I always chase the loss right away and end up winning back what I'd lost and more on top anyway.
And once you can afford to risk more, the risk is actually mitigated because you don't need as many legs. For example, my second biggest win is 4k on a 2 legger of Shane Burgos to beat Makwan and Chookagian to beat Maia. I only put 3k on that. Bookies really don't understand the fighters if they thought the odds were in their favor on that.
So yeah, multi-bets and smart picks. I'm actually picking winners now, as I'm almost always right with them. The last 3 cards, I start with a slip of 8 picks to win. I then just look at records and what I know of the fighters and remove 4-5 so it's safer. It's fucking sad though, because my whole starting slip in the last three cards has been all correct. I'd be way over 100k if I'd been dropping the same money on the lot, but I ain't that game. Maybe if I had 100k to play with or something I would.
If Marina had of gotten the win yesterday, I'd be up around 24k instead of 16k, and my bookie voided a bet a few months ago of Joanna to win and Sanchez and whoever he was fighting to make it to the 2nd. I got it in writing though that its was legit and its going through some small claims court. They've tried to give me some bonus bet money to shut me up, but we'll see how it goes. If I get the full amount out of them, it'll be another 13.4k on top.
