Sports betting and handicapping forum: discuss picks, odds, and predictions for upcoming games and results on latest bets.
what you are doing is basically parlaying two
of these hiWin%/lo-payout plays "Rubber Duckie" plays
the serious logical flaw is in equating LOW-probability-of-loss plays with NO-probability-of-loss plays...but they are different, very different beasts and grow increasingly so the longer you continue acting as if they are
eventually the unthinkable will happen...George gets caught by Diaz the same way Koscheck got caught by Lawlwer (or lots of other "improbable" things can happen...like Jones "losing" to Hamill or Silva "losing" to Okami...these are NOT sure things....they are bets...and the reciprocal of the decimal odds tells you roughly what probability the book's are giving to the event...GSP at -470 means Diaz has almost 1 chance in 5 to win...it is NOT that unlikely...you want to put up a loved one's life to win $10,000 knowing u have a 1 in 5 chance of losing...replace wife with your full bankroll...including all the $ you've accumulated to this point thinking you can't lose...
the "rubber duckie" plays in this thread were all much safer (90%+win%)...much better than parlaying two 80%-ish plays as ur doing here...
read this thread and think about it...what you think as "unthinkable" is actually mathematically a "certainty"...and you're tying everything onto just ONE rubber-ducky play (a rubber ducky called George)...magnifying the ALL or NOTHING VOLATILITY of the situation...if it all comes down to George...you've got an 80% chance of dodging the bullet and winning money at the rate of 50% on all your alive parlays (which will be almost all of your roll by the time the fight comes around...5 figures for sure)...you discount something with a 20%-ish probability as if has a ZERO% probability...huge mistake dude
until the rubber-ducky play loses u'll think ur the cleverest guy on the planet...WHEN it happens and the "sure" half of your pile of parlays loses u'll remember lotsa bros tried to warn u...
gud luk on wiising up and hedging out in tym...if u don't, the money u win by dodging the bullet yet again will only ingrain your stubborn stupidity that u've got a golden goose when it's in fact a guarantted one-way ticket to bankroll wipe out...

I really like GSP in this fight. Diaz doesn't really have too many threats here so you should be fairly safe. Things happen though so don't get carried away with your bank roll.

For tbird's next trick, he's going to pull a Polish middle out of an Oscar bet.

That's a good one.
I think I hit the world's first middle on an Oscar bet yesterday. I'm saving the polish middle for next year.

In the other sub-forums there's a million guys saying shit like this, and the rest of em all agree.
My favorite was some thread about MLB chase systems (basically just a martingale) where everybody was winning because 8-1 favorites usually win. And then suddenly those 12%ers starting coming in over and over and everyone went broke.
I didn't need porn for an entire month.

Talking about Wallco99?
I keep waiting for his NHL thread to implode. It's amazing how many people can be talked into laying $100s on Team A just because Team A lost their last three home games and are "due". It's the same idiots who chase in roulette.

Honestly, the difference between this sub forum and the other sub forums is astounding. I sometimes read them to see how many "best bet of the year/lock of the century" threads there are on any given day.

ok mia and clipper spreads are to high(their both -3000) so we will just stick with gsp-470/indiana-350 500 pays 280....diaz isnt built to beat gsp,he'll never be a champ in ufc,dana cant stand this guy,and his attitude sucks...gsp all day.....this will be the only post on nba picks,this indiana game is perfect example how i lowered odds on gsp,once pacers win,2nd leg of bet will be waggering 500 and collecting 280,thats even better thann2/1
