Don't you mean . . . -100?!?!

you're not serious . . . . . right?

[Svino]

The Greek and Cris the biggest offshore books in the world still have 250 Dollar limits on mma openers. You have to ask yourself why are the limits so low?

They keep the limits low because they know their game is beatable. I mean, just look at our MMA tracker.

exactly, so worrying about over estimating your edge at $250 limits is a waste of time.

LOL, SPX. Why do American bookies still use the moneyline notation. It's so dumb.

I'm cool with it. I don't get that decimal shit.

I'll be happy when the day comes that I'm pissed off at such a "low" limit.

It is pretty low, though.

Someone find the thread I explained this is

I know why I was trying to make a point.

Also with fight metric selling databases and mma becoming more popular I see math models coming in play. Lines will get way sharper almost to a point where they can't be beaten except at opening.

Isn't this the case with all sports, though?

Not that low of limits. Major Markets like the NFL are very hard to beat straight up without betting steam or stale lines. So limits are much higher, pinny will take 2000-5000 on openers. 20k and higher on game day.

To some extent, but I think MMA betting is intrinsically much more beatable than (say) baseball or football.

I'm not talking about limits . . . I'm talking about all sports being beatable.

Why do you say that?
