UFC 161

[Luke]

Downloaded the card since I missed it last week. Watching Stipe/Nelson now. It was evident after the first minute Stipe was going to win that imo.

I was confident in Shawn Jordan...but did not expect the fight to play like that. I was under the impression he would wear Barry out with wrestling/pushing him against the fence.

Since you predicted the outcome wrong, your bet doesnt count on the tracker

I hit Edgar maynard 2 $1 to win $100

[Luke]

.25 to win 8 something

It's going to be tough to remember to bet draw next time i see a point deduction.

[Svino]

Well I found some stats for 2012. There were two draws. Neither of them came by way of point deduction. It's still a good idea in my book. Can't beat 90 to 1 odds.

There aren't really that many point deductions. The last draw like that I can think of was Kongo / Browne. 10-8 Rounds can be considered, too, especially if the loser of that round doesn't look totally finished, or the winner looks gassed. Of course, there's the added risk that the judges will call it 10-9. (I bet the draw live on Edgar / Maynard 3 after the first round, but obviously it didn't work out.)

That point deduction idea is a really good one. I am curious how often it happens. It is something to really be ready for.

I don't actually know how to do it either, but I could look into it.

that would be great altho my accent sucks (im vietnamese and never really learned to pronounce words the right way even though ive been living here for a long time). lol i have no problem writing tho.
also bmaker was gay last night. they used +2.5 on point instead of +3.5.

That would be awesome. I like your idea of a draw on the point deduction. I could see them missing that.

[Svino]

That would be awesome. I thought about it before but I have no idea how to do it.

Yeah, last night was really good live. I made about 10u, there. You mentioned a couple good lines. Another was the fact that Miocic was available at great odds pretty much the whole fight. He was +100 and then only -130 *well* past the point it became clear he was dominating the fight. (I also lost a chunk of money on another line I still think was actually good: Hendo at +140 at the end of round 1).

Really the live-betting situation lives or dies on the number of decisions, especially main-card decisions. Last card with all the submissions, I was really lucky to only lose about 2u. But overall, it's very good, and the bet limits are almost a non-factor now. It used to be you were capped at bets to win 1k, but now it will usually let you bet 1k or 2k no matter the odds, so I think it will let you bet, say, $2,000 to win $180,000 on the draw at +9000. I keep thinking that someday there is going to be an early point deduction and they are going to fuck up bad.

Question: Would anyone be interested in having something like a live-betting teamspeak channel? I sometimes find it hard to type in chat and bet at the same time.

That would be awesome. I thought about it before but I have no idea how to do it.
