226 Betting Thread

So who is betting on 226?

If the odds stay as they are right now, I'm leaning heavily towards dropping $100 on DC.

This isn't based on who I think will win. I actually think he will lose, but these odds are pretty good. A hundred bet gets you $315 if he pulls it off.

I already put an 0.9 unit parlay @ +684 (7.84) tasty odds

Chiesa, Ngannou, Cormier to win

Might consider dropping some cash on Perry, who I successfully bet against in his last fight (1 unit parlay Max Griffin with Latifi for +750 odds). Yancy is chinny.

And maybe on Cormier by decision, Ngannou by KO/TKO, and Chiesa by submission.

Who knows, I think Burns may be a good bet at around +150

As the best gambler in the history of homo sapiens, I will keep everyone updated so they can win some free money.

Not bad at all, good luck dude

If you think Cormier will lose, then you shouldn’t bet on him lol

Thinking that Cormier could be a good bet... Now Ortega vs Blessed. Shoot. Just pumped to see it but anything could happen in that fight.

DC is a live dog 100%

 

[EndlessCritic]

the odds are insane. it should be even.

I'm not sure about dead even, but yea, they're pretty off. I think Stipe has an edge purely based on size and age, but I would never ever count DC out of this.
As for people saying I shouldn't bet on DC because I don't think he's gonna win... you're missing the point of what +215 means. It's just a hundred I would lose, but I could also easily walk away with $315.

Im jumping in now to reference this thread later. I will need help cause i usually bet on who i like not who i think will win.

What are the best odds in vegas to bet at walking up at the sports book? And not that far one off the strip.

I'm putting all my vCash on DC!!!





oh wait...

People still don't get it, Miocic doesn't lose, he wins, he wins everytime.

 

[JosephTessaro]

I bet a lot of parlays, I tend not to put all of my eggs in one basket, plus it is a lot more exciting.

I typically throw down around $100 on good events, putting together a few $5-$10 parlays on 4-8 fights and increasing the odds but not getting to out of control on picking the winners. I recently did this and placed a $5 wager on a 6 fight parlay and won almost $300. For the 1 or 2 times it works in 100 bets, it ends up being worth it.

I will most likely pick DC in a few parlays, and pick Stipe in a few others and see what happens.

There's a betting subforum for expressly this purpose, and a thread on ufc 226.

I was surprised how many guys are liking Cormier so I had to check how much the line has moved...The odds have been moving in Stipe's favor. Stipe opened at -185 and he's -275 currently on Bodog. Cormier is at +215 now. I had this fight as a stay-away but man that line on DC is appealing...

I like Ortega over Holloway but it's hovering around +160 right now... might jump in if it gets closer to +200

Stipe via boxin power and size

you need to rethink your betting strategy.
Thats not a lot of value for someone you think is going to lose. If he was a +500, sure. +215, dont do it.

Why in the name of fuck would you bet on DC

Seriously

I've been looking for someone to debate this with, because I'm so far on Stipe I can't even see the ground anymore

 

[BBMN]

Seriously.

Because he's +215. I would not consider this if it was like +125. I'm going into this (if I finally pull the trigger) accepting of the fact that I will probably lose. I look at it like "It's just a hundred bucks... that's a couple nights eating out instead of staying..." Worse case scenario, I just avoid eating out for a month or so...

Although it's not as drastic as the line with Holm vs Rousey, of which I am still kicking myself for not pulling the trigger on, it's still sizeable. And DC is pretty good.
