UFC On ESPN 12: Poirier vs. Hooker

Maybe this is the first time this has happened to me or I don't remember correctly but please help me understand this. I placed a 4 fight parlay yesterday, 1 fight was the maverick girl who pulled out of the fight today. I thought the bet would be cancelled, but instead all they did was adjust the payout to almost 50% of what is was at first? Is this is normal? or is mybookie a scam?

All books that I know of reduce odds as though you made the bet without the cancelled fight.
 
You guys ever put stock in a fighter looking past an opponent when making your bet decisions?



I have $30 on Porier so this was a little nice to see if Hooker maybe isn’t taking Porier as seriously as he should

How is that dumb? Like it literally just becomes a 3-leg parlay. If they gave you the same odds, it'd be a mess where people'd be putting together huge parlays of voided fights and scratched horses.

I'd like to adjust the amount I bet, since the pay off is worse lol. I did a 4 team parlay for a reason smh. Pretty dumb

I think you misunderstood what I was saying lol. I wasn't saying they should just let me keep the same odds, but should allow me to adjust the amount I bet since the odds have now drastically changed, or just cancel the bet lol considering that wasn't what I bet

This is one of the oddest takes I've ever heard..sportsbooks don't make money off canceling bets, certainly not parlays.

How is it a weird thing that I would want to bet a different amount, if the odds suddenly changed? Why tf do I care if the sportsbook makes money off of a fight being cancelled? Wtf are you even saying?

I wouldn't mind parlays cancelling if a fighter in it pulls out but the lesson there is don't bother with parlays

If you don't like it as a single, it's not worth adding at all...

It was to increase the pay out lol. That was the whole point. None of those fights would be worth shit by themselves, but on a parlay the payout is worth it. Those two dudes @matthew55 @Gugabe are saying some shit I never even said lmaoo. I just think it should be cancelled. It's not the same bet and not worth it at the adjusted payout tbh.

bro, you need to stop being so emotional..idk why this has to be explained to you, but the reason why I said sportsbooks don't make money off canceling wagers, is because, get this,,they want you to lose your money to them! But anyway, you can have the last word since I'd rather not clog up this forum with nonsense, we got enough of that already.

But it doesn't increase anything. Your winnings of the last bet get rolled into the next. If you don't like that fight as a bet by itself because 'it aren't worth shit', it's not worth shit in a parlay...

No one is asking you to explain shit lmaoo I'm telling you that I never said anything about sportsbook making money off of cancelled fights. I never even implied it. You guys were collectively arguing for 5 pages with an obvious troll, but yeah I'm clogging it up when you responded to what I said in the first place with some pointless strawman argument. Go suck a dick

Not sure what you mean by this? How does it not increase anything?

Are Dustin's recent wins full of question marks? Jim Millier in a majority decision, a washed Jim Miller. Petits - Washed. Justin before just had made any changes and went from fighting bums to almost getting KO'ed by MJ (Who did KO DP), then Alverez who was winning before the 'illegal' strikes. Then Holloway, a short notice feather weight who in my oppinion won three rounds.

Not saying Hooker is better, just speaking about where Dustin is really good, is it just his boxing?

Not to sound rude but idk how you can say holloway won 3 rds lol. You need to watch that fight again. I feel you are way too biased against dustin, guy is a clear cut top 5.

Regarding perry, guy is batshit crazy. He gets more stupid by the day. Still, i think he beats mickey 9/10
