UFC 249 Predictions: Diary of a Pro Gambler

[Eddy Foo]

Omg I’m so happy I finally found this forum. I always comment on his YT acc. Had his account for about 9 months and ending costing me -25U, luckily I didn’t follow a couple of his picks or I would’ve lost more. This dude is legit so annoying, he thinks everyone else is a MMA Casual/Jabroni. Then when his bets eventually lose, he goes into hiding. Idk how he manages to pick heavy favorites that always lose E.g. RDA (-240), Haqparast (-300), Morono (-300) etc. Then if you say anything that goes against him or question on the website chat room he blocks you forever. Always goes on about Bankroll management and compound interest, like bro doesn’t matter what interest rate u getting as long as you keep losing on big favorites no way u can win. This guy is the biggest fraud ever

picks of this prick; Rosa, Rozentruik and Cruz, all 3 got literally raped... good analisis LOL

Lol just lol at anyone picking Cruz

'It's all in the tape dude!'

As if the passing of time and reoccurring injuries don't exist, and even then the guy got embarrassed in his last fight before Henry

We've discussed this idiot tout on here before. He is a fraud with poor results who lies about them by claiming a killing in live-bets.

Exactly. Also if you look at his bet history over 50% is based on betting 10 units per fight, he basically gambled out a record.

If you watch his video it looks like he lives in a bottom floor apartment complex and he has one car to share with his wife I remember from one video. If he really made a living from betting he wouldn't be broke.

He drives an 80k BMW, he's making money from somewhere, rinsing his website members for $200 a month

He made some money from crypto during the big bull run a couple of years back.. I've only watched one of his videos but I'm pretty sure that he mentioned buying the car with bitcoin earnings.

Little off topic, has anybody here have experience betting on MMA in the very early days of the sport? I've heard some crazy stories of super wrong odds, because you know... no coverage of the fights, it's a new sport and bookies are clueless who is gonna win. Did any know a story of somebody making big money in those days?

2004 I started and it was mainly dabbling. If you're talking about even way earlier like the 90's then no. I started following the sport in '99 but wasn't betting. Back then I'm not even sure who was offering odds TBH. Maybe some Vegas casinos? Probably MGM because they'd have the events at the Grand Garden Arena there.

The most ridiculous odds I remember were Hughes/Gracie in 2006. I got Hughes between -240 and -280 at various casinos in Vegas (I was there 2 weeks before that fight and most places had odds). It was hilarious how little action some would take on it though. The old Imperial Palace was the best. I tried to bet $300 and they would only allow $200. They'd take $10k bets on the major sports without blinking but the UFC even then was just a novelty. I had like 6 Matt Hughes tickets from different casinos to get $1500 on him haha. That was a shit ton of $ to me back then but I told my wife he wasn't gonna lose so don't worry. I capped him legit at about -1500. I was still nervous because I'd never bet close to that much but I knew the odds were a joke.

HAHA, this is too funny. Hughes-Gracie was the first MMA fight I ever bet...and I got Hughes at -210 on Bodog. I only made $300 from it since that was the max you could bet for on the site back then.

I capped Hughes as -5000 or thereabouts. There were a lot of insane lines the first year after TUF 1. Lines became a lot sharper shortly afterwards though, and arguably moreso than they are now, since there so many fewer fighters and matches to analyze.

Obviously not nearly as good as the Hughes bet but the only time I had really insane odds like that was when someone (JimGunn I think) on here brought to my attention that it was (-120) on bare-knuckle boxing champion Bedford (4-0) against Crazy Horse (0-1) who had lost like 10 straight MMA fights in a row. Then when I went online, in the UK Bedford was +140 when he should have been a heavy -400 favorite.

Talking of Jim, does anyone know what happened to him?
