Let's talk betting. Where's everyone at?

[SPX]

You don't even need to know how to read a line to be helpful, IMO. Who is going to win is really the only thing I care about in a fight. The other stuff is important, but in the end, who wins is all that matters

It's all that's important from a business standpoint, but I'm more talking about community, not just the cold details of making money.

Luke and I have been fucking things in the ass this year. Luke is being modest.

Luke cashed out like $20k from some book because of football not too long ago.

We each won like $1,000,000 on RDA beating Pettis.

We won't talk about betting on Reem over Rothwell though.

I know I'm a noob but I disagree with that. It can be dangerous to have opinions on who'll win unless people give a % chance of a win, which you can then compare to the odds. People often pick someone they're 70% confident will win but then you've got odds saying it's a 75% win chance, in which case you shouldn't bet it cos the odds are worse than the user's perceived win chance.

I agree with what you're saying. I make the %'s up myself and compare them to the odds. Actually, I usually set a line before hand and then compare it to the real odds when they come out. I was just saying, for me, someone telling me who they think is going to win and giving me a breakdown is all I want . The rest I can do on my own....if that makes sense.

I'd never just blindly bet on guys because I think they're going to win

[BetMMA]

Yeah, I just mean if you get 10 people all saying A is gunna win and 0 saying B is gunna win, that's a dangerous stat. They might all think it's a 70-30 fight, then the odds come out at -500 or something and it's actually a bad bet to go for A. I'm sure we agree on all this anyway, I was just talking generally about looking at raw straight pick data. :)

More or less. I'm not entirely convinced that zY ever did bet, though.

I rarely bet MMA anymore, there are so many cards now, I cant keep up with all the new fighters, the 14 TUF shows going on simultaneously, etc.

I probably average a bet per quarter anymore in MMA.

I remember the year you didn't lose a single MMA bet

Back then, the lines were so fucked up, we could really take advantage . They sharpened up over the years.
