I find it interesting you guys go on tilt and bet like crazy. I react the opposite way and stop betting at all for awhile when I lose.
I get scared when I feel I made a series of bad calls. Maybe I am losing the touch. But when a fighter just decides to screw me, like Curran did, or when Stevenson fought Sotiropolous, or Sokidjou losing to Minowa... I feel like they just were not in the mood to fight that day. Then I get pissed and bet more to get back my unfairly lost money.

^^^^ I think you're wrong about Stevenson. George was being underestimated for that fight and he came in and proved the odds were wrong. As for the others you mentioned, I would agree for the most part.
EDIT: By the way, I'm also not sure that Melendez/Aoki is the right fight to try to get your money back on.

Too late. I see only 1 path to victory for Aoki, submission. His submission skills are vastly overrated IMO. He does some flashy stuff, bur really he has subbed Hansen, who has a lot of holes in hs sub game as well (and is also overrated IMO) and Alvarez- which is a legit win. All of his other subs are against lower tier comp. But none of that matters because Gil is not going to grapple with him.
Aoki has never fought in the U.S, we boo grapplers here. The cage. The travel. No magic pants. A tough stylistic matchup. It all adds up in Melendez's favor.
I also dropped 5u on Hendo @ -413.
If I am going down, I am going to go down in flames.

Everything points to Melendez to win this. I think you are right. I also think the line will get better..the last time it was around -180 it shot right back down. So I am going to wait.
I can also get Hendo for -385...but for some reason I am so hesitant on this fight. ahhh decisions decisions.
