UFC on Versus 5

I think money will come in on cerrone slightly might be able to get Oliveira at -150.

Luke I didnt cap this fight because you told me cerrone will win. Now that you bet Oliveira has gotten me nervous.

Lol I actually like Cerrone, the only reason I bet Oliveria is because I knew the line would shit and guarantee a profit . I'll take the .2 to .3 units of free money and now forget about the fight .

[Luke]

Well for one you have to make two bets. You also have to carefully watch the lines and try to catch it at just the right spot before it possibly reverses course.

I'm just saying that to me arbing mostly only seems worth it when you can drop monster bets down, like 10u or more. Otherwise, I'd just let my bet ride and try to win some real money.

Bear in mind that this perspective might have something to do with the fact that my unit is only $20, so most arb opportunities might net me $3 or something like that.

My unit is 100 dollars and since the line is already +130 on the other side I'm guaranteed .2 or .3 units no matter who wins .To me .2 to .3 of guaranteed profit is worth it . This is the first time I've done this in a while and don't plan on doing to often because I'm never "sure" which way the line will move,this was one of those rare instances I was pretty sure the line was going to shift the other way

What exactly is the "soft side"?

the off market price

Haha I did the samething except for only one unit. This was one line 5dimes actually opened first that I knew which way the line would move from the opening. I plan on arbing out though for a small profit

just hit the soft side over the long haul it will be more profitable then arbing.

EDIT: spx said what I just said but better, O well.

How is it any trouble?

If you only put a unit on it, will the profit even be worth the trouble?

[poopoo333]

I have been trying to hit opening lines I "know" will shift as well for possible arbs if I decide to do so. It is a good option if you change your mind/lose confidence in your bet as the event comes closer

[Luke]

2u on Oliveira @+120 yay

It's called an opinion

Opinions like that have to be based on something. . .
