Performify's Picks for UFC 111

Re: Performify's Picks for UFC 111

And you know, I've got no problems with paid celebrity endorsements, but this:

"If you're serious about betting on MMA, you're doing yourself a great disservice if you don't have funded accounts at Bodog, Bookmaker and 5Dimes. You'll notice as I run down the lines that you can find better betting opportunities by shopping across these three A-rated sportsbooks."

is just lame. There's something about the way he blends it into the rest of his article that irks me.

[Looking above, I seem to have developed a new method of counting where "b" comes after "1".]

It sounds like he's just making bets for value at this point. Even though there's plenty of value in Pellegrino, and the Carwin fight is so up in the air it's not even funny

But he didn't bet Pellegrino . . . he bet Camoes.

Thats exactly my point...There is plenty of value in Pellegrino, but he picked two dogs seemingly for the sole purpose of value over the likely outcome.

Okay, I see what you're saying now.

I actually think there WAS value in Pellegrino. Not sure about now. It seems to me most of it has dried up. I dunno, he might be good all the way to -233/70%.

Re: Performify's Picks for UFC 111

I took Pellegrino at -230, I wish I could have gotten him when he opened up at -165 but Betus didn't have a line out on him until the day before yesterday unfortunately.

I think you're on the razor's edge of value. He actuall opened at -210 (I think) and then dipped to -165 and then shot back up. I wouldn't be surprised if money starts coming in on Camoes between now and tomorrow and his line dips again.

Why don't you open up multiple accounts?

Re: Performify's Picks for UFC 111

I have an account on 5dimes but haven't funded it in a while, I use Betus primarily. Though if 111 and UFN21 go well I'll fund My 5dimes back up and get back into things on it as well.

Don't even get me started on 5dimes. I've been trying to get my account funded over the past few days. I tried to fund it with my credit card and they asked me a gauntlet of verification questions (like, "which of the following phone numbers was previously associated with you") and apparently it didn't like my answers. So now it won't accept my card. So I called customer service and they were basically like, Yeah, your account is cash-only so we can't help you.

I had my line set @ -220-- so I was pretty jacked to get him @ -167. I probably would have still taken him at -230 though, because at the time, I was sure he was going to win. Now, I don't know... I have some doubts.

Re: Performify's Picks for UFC 111

Yeah they suck with funding and with customer service on the whole but they tend to have alot of really good odds out. Even if their setup looks like something from the mid 1990's

So what is the problem. I am a big fan of the western union option. I don't even use my card unless I have to.

Doubts?

Doubts?

Just my usual neurotic stuff. Nothing serious. Pelligrino should win, but I am a little worried about the explosiveness of Camoes. But if Batman can handle Tavares, Emerson, and Neer... he should be able to handle Camoes.

Really, now that I look at what they have done, -230 doesnt seem too bad. Pelligrino is going to win.
