Re: Ubereem vs Arlovski on NYE: edit Not happening

Yeah, you ever notice when a line is moving on Bodog, it goes from -365 directly to -500? Do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars.

For whatever reason, Bodog seems terrified to misprice a favorite's line so they overcompensate by making sure they're line is as high as possible. I find that Bodog is usually shitty for favorites, good for dogs.

Lol @ Overeem @ -1100. That is insane.

Sok and Kawajiri are the best plays, IMO.

Holy fucking shit.

Mousasi just hit -1100.

Talk about having to be at the right place at the right time. This opportunity is GONE.

Who the hell is betting these lines?

Isn't the bookmaker max like $500? Woohoo I risked $500 to win $70!

no its 250 limit


-1100 is closer to what the actual line should have been instead of -575

Yeah, not sure what's up with bookmaker and their $250 limit. I mean, I personally don't bet big enough to need a higher limit (biggest bet I ever made was $120 on Vitali Klitschko v Arreola), but I hope to eventually get there. Doesn't seem very professional.

Re: Ubereem vs Arlovski on NYE: edit Not happening

Overeem is definately definately not going to lose. So 8% of $250 is still free money. I am not going to bet it, but someone out there will be thinking this.

I have 2 bookmaker accounts, one in my name and one in my brother's. Its not that big of a deal. I don't know why they have the limits, because you can just solicit a pal to open up an account for you, and fund it with cash.

I also have a 5dimes account and Bodog for this reason, which I only use on rare occasions. I always get the early odds on bookmaker, so the other accounts have nothing to offer me, other than being able to make bigger bets.

I don't really get it either, but I guess that's why I dont have my own sports book.

They put the 250 limit so someone doesnt get 5k down on a bad line .Bookmaker isnt very good at setting MMA lines so they jut put a line out they think is fair and put a 250 cap on it .Once they get some max wagers on the opening line the move it very fast until people quit betting it. 250 dollars x 5 or 6 bets is nothing to bookmaker to get info .Sportsbooks pay way more than that to linesmakers . Once the heavy action on one side dies down they know the line is right and they up the wagering limit

I see. Interesting. That makes sense, but still seems a little mickey mouse. I mean, Bodog occasionally is the first to open lines, but even when they do their limits are a good bit higher.

Which is why it would be interesting to see how the other books open if people could lay off destroying the bookmaker openers.

Re: Ubereem vs Arlovski on NYE: edit Not happening

I got 5u on Sokoudjou @ -370. Minowa can only win freakshow fights (which I think might be pretty fixed).


I am considering Kawajiri as well.

Re: Ubereem vs Arlovski on NYE: edit Not happening

Im suprisede Soko is that big a fav. His gas tank always worries me. But I think you are right, it seems like Minowa only beats freaks anymore. I think Soko gets you paid.

Re: Ubereem vs Arlovski on NYE: edit Not happening

Sokoudjou is going to pound his little midget head in by virtue of actually being a real fighter.

If Minowa "wins" somehow, the entire super hulk tournament is a complete work, which really wouldn't surprise me tbh.
