Thinking about Matt Hamill 2,5 - Alexander Gustafsson 1,5 UFC 133

 

Should not it be kind of opposite?... Hamil being the favorite... Alexander is not much of a guy with great takedown defence...

Good jiujitsu thou moves, but still not much of good wrestling? Or what u say gurus?

I would put Hamill as heavy favourite as Gustafsson can't knock him out or out wrestle him, and though he has great BJJ Hamill has pretty decent defence

 

I'd put Hamill at around 1.3 and Gustafsson at around 2.5 if it were me, but maybe they know something I don't?

 

All I know is at +2.50 I'm putting £20 on Hamill at an online bookies

Well I don't think it was as much Gustafsson as it was Hamill. Not knocking Gustafssons skills but the last 2 fights Hamill has looked horrible now. Against rampage I put it down to nerves but he did the same again today

 

Wrestling looks poor and striking looks sloppy, its like he has mentally reverted to how he was in his Ultimate Fighter win where he dropped his hand, forgot how to wrestle and threw wildly hoping they fell before he did

 

Think he needs a new camp and I think I'm glad I didn't find the odds good enough to bet on him Lmao

hey, i see a lot of american betting system since i got into MMA such as +200 for a fighter etc. what does that mean ? ie what do u get back for every dollar you bet ?

 

i am in melbourne and we usually have a decimal system for our betting ie shields 1.67 v jon fitch 2.30

+200 means if you bet 100 you get 200 back plus your stake of 100.

If it's -200 you need to bet 200 to win 100 (plus get your stake back).

 

That's still so confusing... I wouldn't gamble if it was that confusing...

 

Much easier to go I'm putting my $100 on a $2.50 pop and I'm getting $250 back...

 

Mind you I probably shouldn't gamble anyway... We have just finished the spring racing carnival (horse racing) it has been costly!!!!

What sportsbooks does everybody use? I use bet365 for NFL, but they have a very small selection of MMA fights. For Saturday's TUF final, the main event is the only fight they are offering. Are there any trustworthy sites that take bets on most UFC fights?

cant believe this topic isnt live here. with all the experts here im shocked more dont gamble on ufc. I find great value, pick the right fights and parlays you put 10 or 20 bucks on can pay huge especially if you have a underdog or 2. There is usually 1 or 2 per card.

Ive done well last couple years and have missed big parlays over 5 k by 1 fight many times ,

Maybe some other gamblers here can share thoughts? I play fantasy mma on mmaplayground as well, learned lots bout the sport and the gambling angle.

Lets fire this topic up....

I bet quite a lot on football and hit the casino sometimes (when im in UK) but never bet on UFC until now.. i just put 20 quid on a 6 fight accumulator for tomorrow night.. if i win its 185 returns or so(ye I played it pretty safe). Will let you know how it goes!

 

Also, Mike just notice the 'certainty' thing you added with the bookies.. I am interested to see what comes of your little formula/project!
