    I don't see how simpson loses to markes. Vemola has not shown to have effective wrestling despite his credentials, which is masking a lot of the true reason markes won that fight. Simpson on the other hand possess phenomenal wrestling and also actually uses it and is succesful with it. Contrary to what gabe has said, simpson has shown to have a decent chin.

    I don't reccommend any kind of play on Markes

    Yeah, because feeling 90% confident in a fighter is the same as considering them a -900 favorite. SMH

    I was 98% sure Renan Barao would beat Scott Jorgenson, so I guess I thought he should have been -980? You guys are ridiculous.

    He asked you what percentage he has of winning, and to be realistic. How confident you are in him is irrelevant.

    How is it irrelevant? If my confidence in a play is irrelevant, then what is relevant?

    WTF? That is not contrary to what gabe said, because gabe never implied that Simpson has a weak chin.

Right now V has Jake Ellenberger has his last leg (or one of last 2 legs) in a lot of parlays, and if I were him and thought there was value in Diego Sanchez, I would make a straight play on Sanchez. I've got Miocic in a few parlays, and hopefully the other legs come through. If Miocic loses and ruins the parlay, at least I've got the straight play on De Fries to make up for my losses. If I stopped doing it this way, I wouldn't "cut my losses," I would add to them. As long as Ronny Markes wins, it won't matter what happens in this fight. I'll profit from either fighter winning. You say bad idea, I say good idea.
    I redid the math and you're right, but it depends. It can help to make money by betting on both if one is in a parlay (obviously you can't bet on both singley though). Just as long as you're confident that one guy will more than likely win and the other guy still has a shot as an underdog with good value. Good luck on the event Gabe!!! I've only got a few plays this time.

    $20 on Ellenberger/Herman parlay to win $25.50
    $5 on Sanchez to win $12.50
    $10 on Struve to win $10.50

    I did quite well at the last event so feel free to chase anyone!!!

    No betting on both sides even if its a parlay is dumb. Give me an example of what Gabe did with the stakes and ods, and I can proof why its dumb.

    It's kinda dumb because you usually lose a little money 'cos you made the straight bet on the underdog... but it's better to be safe than sorry, 'cos once in a while that underdog will win and ruin your parlay- but if you've got the little straight play on him, then you make a minor profit when your parlays tank.

    ok so this is your parlay with Miocic in it

    Jon Jones -525
    Ronny Markes +120
    Stipe Miocic -350
    $21 to win $49.71

    So how much did you bet on de Fries and at what ods?

    De Fries wins, I profit $54. Miocic parlay hits, I profit $25.

    You're still not selling me on why it's a bad idea. As long as Markes and Herman keep up their end, I should be good either way here.

    Even if the line change? Given that the line is not changing, it may be a dumb idea as you loose by paying the books commission.

    Jon Jones -525
    Ronny Markes +120
    Stipe Miocic -350
    $21 to win $49.71

    $25 to win $75 on De Fries straight

    Ok so if your parlay hits you make a 25 dollar profit.
    If you straight bet wins you make a 54 dollar profit.

    Wouldnt it be better if you scratch the Miriocic play in your parlay and the straight play on de Fries?

    Jon Jones -525
    Ronny Markes +120
    $21 to win $33.98

    If the parlay hits you make 33.98 profit instead of 25 like what you are doing.

    But then I wouldn't have action on that fight... =/

    Also there's the likelihood that De Fries could win, so having the play on him is what matters... throwing Miocic in parlays is for the hell of it.

    ok so make a $9 straight play on the Fries.

    If he loses and you parlay wins you make a $25 profit. ( just like in your situation but with a smaller stake)
    If he wins and you parlay wins you make $60 profit. (in you situation you would only make $54 profit with a much higher stake)

    Like I said playing on both sides is dumb even if its a parlay

    What i mean is that when you look at fighter A and B. If you play on both sides, you will loose money right? The books commission.
    Ellenberger = -340
    Can = +280


    You either risk to much, or do not get what you deserve...
    So when you bet on both sides gabe...you take your clothes off, bend over, and asking the books gently to fakk you over.

    Not necessarily tho, if there is line movement, is my point, if there is line movement you can take advantage, even in a parlay.

    I will be shocked if De Fries beats Miocic. De Fries entire game is trying to get the takedown, working his top game, or trying to get the back. We saw that De Fries takedowns aren't really that great, his striking has never been that good, and his bottom game isn't very good. Against a guy like Miocic, all of De Fries' advantages are pretty much non-existent since he probably won't get Miocic down. Even if he does, his top game is more of a grinding style rather than jumping on a sub.

    I just have a hard time seeing this capped at a 35% of De Fries winning.

    add in Stipes wrestling pedigree

    I think this is a UFC showcase fight where they are trying to creat a new star in Stipe

    Agreed. Stylistically, I can't think of a worse pairing for De Fries. I actually bet on De Fries over Broughton thinking that was an awful matchup for Broughton (worst TDD in the UFC IMO), but De Fries even made me nervous there. I was very underwhelmed by him in a matchup that I thought was tailor made for him. I can't imagine how he is going to look here.

    Miocic will more than likely win, but I still don't think he should be -400.

    especially at +175, For what it's worth, Jordan breen has been big on this guy, and is predicting him to win also.
