Yeah you r right. Fights like that are great because you get to bet on who you want to root for without wagering more money then you bet, no matter which fighter you pick! I would bet on fights like this one ALL DAY!!!

I definitely see your method bud, and you’re right, with me gambling on every sport plus poker every day, my money is always coming and going (more coming, but some weeks get bad). My betus account isn’t big, but hopefully after the next few nights (college football and nba) I’ll be cashing 5k out of it and still leave quite a bit to put on couture. I’ll be calling them to see about a larger than 500 bet, usually they’ll comply!

I get your method. I guess we view it differently so to each his own. I dont like to take to many -400 Favorites, but (For Example) when BJ Penn is fighting in my eyes its as safe as a sure thing. I had ZERO doubt that he would beat Sherk so I have to bet big on favorites like that. My money in the betting account that I use isn’t a tangable asset for me as you know. I have won money on about 40 UFC events and I have still yet to ever take a dollar out. So its a different situation for me then it is you. If I was betting pocket money, I would be like you and not take as many dumb risks betting favorites. I have to be careful that I dont start treating my account like monopoly money because it is not Tangable…Thats when I start betting stupid and I take a hit.

I would love to bet on 1 more upset by Couture, but I hate that Greedy, NOgueira Ducking, senile old man, and I dont want to have to root for him….SO WAR BROCK!!!!!

yeah john, I get what you’re saying, but for me, picking a -600 faber makes no sense. even if I put sonnen or fihlo and pulver and parlay it, I need to hit all 3 and it pays 2-1. straight bet I got to put 600 to win 100, so max bet on betus would be 3000/500. if it’s an upset I just lost 3k and only could win 500.
to me gambling is my spending/pocket money, so I really weigh the risk vs. the reward. for example, randy couture, win or lose has great value!

THats why I said mma is the best over the period of a year because most informed gamblers like us, wont suffer to many monumental upsets in which the favorite looses and you are down a ton of cash. I get hit with about 3 of those a year, but Overall the money I win on the favorites on a consistent basis, makes me even….and the money I make on the DOGS, put me nicely over the top!

Feel me Kev?

the only negative of mma is the lines usually don’t pay, and if a dog wins, and you bet the favorite, you open yourself up to a big loss!
