Nah gotta give Luke the rematch and sell the whole "was it really an upset" thing

I'm through with betting on this. I have no idea. It's too unpredictable.

lol it would have been the worst day in book-keepers history

Which it was and Luke should still be a huge favorite in a rematch even though he's clearly a little chinny

the unpredictability is what potentially offers an edge though

There are two shots for which you don't need much power to KO the guy. Behind the ear, and downwards on the chin. Bisping landed one of them. Luke never had his hands up and preferred to turn his back while running. He has some bad habits he needs to lose.

what the fuck was Rockhold doing, darting in with a single jab and then retreating straight blindly and clearly disoriented (he had no clue where Bisping was), its as if he saw Cruz and thought "hey I gotta try that shit" and failed miserably

Sick win for Bisping! My stream was like 5+ minutes behind...

I got raped hard on DraftKings tonight, but it all happened during the first 3 fights. Even after the first 3 fights, I kept losing my picks, so it didn't matter... ...FUCK YOU PAY-PER-VIEWS!!!

Can't wait for Werdums trashtalk now :D

Werdum can't say a god damn thing... He got knocked the fuck out too! xD

----------

Side note: Bisping was 33/1 to win in round 1. A couple of guys on Sherdog bet on it with small amounts and won a ton.

this is a crazy game

The true answer thats deeper is that, in life people generally get EV based on their value, and there isn't much value to sportsbetting for society. At best, if you're really good your role becomes helping the bookies adjust their lines.

I've just spent too much time on it, arrogantly, thinking it should be easy, and have too many other things on my plate.
I will have to look for a more mellow less high-risk/high-reward more value to society form of investing. Stocks and Real-Estate investing both theoretically fit that description better than sportsbetting.

It's a lot about I sijmply have too many other things to do, I feel like if you want to sportsbet, you have to pretty much commit your life to it. I also constantly feel behind on information to bookies and the market, as I have no insider information. Get drained by wig, and also get drained by match fixing. It was fun.

Best of luck to you guys.

All I do is go to university and watch MMA. Even I have a lot of trouble with picking winners in MMA, and I've literally seen every UFC fight since December 2009 (not counting The Ultimate Fighter).

Also, you need to be knowledgeable about MMA before you start betting it, otherwise you'll be a long term loser. People often go on good runs and win money in the beginning, but the longer they play, the more they'll lose because they don't know the ins and outs of the sport. Lastly, bankroll management is key, but most people aren't able to control their emotions and adjust their bet size when they are losing (I'm guilty of this).

If you feel like you know enough about MMA and have lost a lot of money betting on it, I'd suggest taking a break for a few UFC events and just pick fights without betting any money on them. Also, you can switch to fantasy betting like I did. Fantasy betting can be stressful, but you're not losing much money if you only make 3-4 teams in the $3 events with guaranteed prize pools that range from $25k to $75k.

These UFC threads will be here as long as LP is up and running, so feel free to come back whenever you feel like it, if at all.

watching all the fights would be 1st step, but to be a real good bettor you would require deep understanding of fighting like Jack Slack for example, now thats a guy that with some training in odds etc he would do very well

I couldn't watch the fights but I saw on Twitter the UFC escorted Ariel Helwani (along with other media) out before the Bisbing fight and apparently he was given a lifetime media ban.

Anyone know wtf happened?
