#212kush, good job last night, but i dont think you understand the point that nunya et al were trying to explain. you would have made more money if you just bet on the russian straight up, rather than the two parlays.Comment -

I'm understanding completely.
My original thought was to Paraly Zayat/Curran. So I did that...
but after that kid who trains with Curran started saying all that stuff like "This fight is a no play" I thought, this dude must know something most people don't.
Made me nervous
Had Curran lost, I woulda lost $230 - my initial Bet on Curran
and the parlay
So I thought about "Hedging" by making a similar sized parlay with Zayats and Pitbull instead
So I parlayed him with Pitbull.
If Curran lost, my parlay would have lost, my straight play would have lost, but my Pitbull/Zayats parlay would still be pending, needing Zayats to win no matter what like I said.
Pitbull never got to +115+ so I couldn't hedge out of my Orignal bet.. Had to put my balls on and hope for the best... But I Capped Sobral as the Underdog .. woulda been surprised if he WON
TL;DR I bet $400 on the Russian straight up. Wanted to win more and parlay him with someone else I thought would win. Chose Curran. Had Second Thoughts, Chose Pitbull.
Fight was sooo close.. I'd say I was in the right by doing what I did..Comment -

gotcha, so maybe it wasnt a bad move since the hedge was motivated by new information. i dont think you explained your thought process originally. you made it seem like you were making the two parlays simultaneously, in which case it was clearly a bad move.Comment -

Plus you said... "I am gonna parlay him with Curran, and another Parlay with Pitbull, just in case..." which suggests you hadn't already done the double of Zayats and Curran.Comment -

I would have explained myself.. had anyone had my back!
All I got was jokes and "Don't do that" "Your +200 guy isn't a lock"
I really should have explained my reasoning, but knowing the way you guys are, probably would have just found ways to disagree with me and shitted on my plays. I didn't wanna argue with you all about how I bet my money. You are all sharp MMA bettors and it feels shitty to be proven wrong. If I won I won, If I lost I lost. Still got money in books and in the bank.
Wish you all well. Might bet UFC on FX.. just trynna figure out which dogs I like..
Goodluck!Comment -
