MMA/Boxing Bets Chatter thread

Honestly, I am just super confident in the parlay, and super super confident in GSP. If it wasn't for my life circumstances, I would be even more kamikazee. Prolly my whole roll on the parlay, and I planned on depositing enough to win at least 10 more units on GSP.

[MMA_scientist]

Oh I see. So you're crazy.

My confidence in GSP grows by the minute. I am going to be really shocked if he loses. I have less confidence in the other 2 fights, but I really do think it will hit.

Supposedly GSP's camp and/or management team has been unstable lately. Joey Odessa mentioned it yesterday.

[MMA_scientist]

I personally know (well, I don't know him, but we have met and I have rolled with him) GSP's new manager, because he is also Demian's manager. GSP is going to have to be way off his game to lose here IMO. Jake can't knock him out, he can't pound him out, he can't outposition him, he basically has to either just beat him for 3 rounds or guillotine him. I just don't see it.
Side note, we might be bringing GSP in to the gym this year (because we got the hookup now because of his manager)... so yeah.

[Thewisemann]

Yup, crazy is right.

I heard GSP has a blown ACL but its a lock

Sorry Vandaley but that sounds like bullshit. Joey Oddessa is a line maker. He probably just wants people to bet on Jake Shields so they can get their asses handed to them.

Books are going to be praying Shields wins Saturday imo. You think the people here are the only ones putting GSP in every parlay they bet?

[edman5555]

No I do not. They need to keep the lines even, hence the need for people to bet Shields. All the money is coming in on GSP.

Even? you dont really believe that do you?

Look at this forum , there's 25+ units worth of bets that have GSP in them and only 1.3 that have Shields does that sound even to you?


edit: Also the line is dropping so thats not encouraging people to put money on Shields

[MMA_scientist]

I am sure it is not precisely even, but if it was too far out of whack, the line would drop dramatically. GSP's line has actually improved, so I think that indicates that there is plenty of money on both sides. Over on SD, like half of the people are picking Shields straight up (in the grappling forum). I don't think our forum is a good barometer of what people are betting... we tend to bet the same things a lot, either because we are just that smart, or because we follow each other. I know I was not on GSP but ended up being sold on the 3fight parlay by everyone here.

I think a good amount of money has come in on Shields. Otherwise GSPs line wouldn't have dropped over the past couple of days like it has. It's bounced back and forth quite a bit of on Sportsbook over the last few weeks, from -500 to -365 to -500 to -350. There are people betting Shields, just like you.

Really?

[Luke]

Really?

Yes ,he also just lost an arm on the way to weigh ins

[poopoo333]

Yes ,he also just lost an arm on the way to weigh ins

He will still probably win but it might be a little close
