Sting goes over Bully Ray...

Grabaka · 05-26-13, 03:53 AM

-1000 now

Thanks chef i hit it 4 times.

Sacrelicious · 05-26-13, 03:54 AM

Seriously bro, arb out just like I did. Anything can happen, and crazy line movement like this should be taken advantage of, cover your initial bet.

Grabaka · 05-26-13, 03:55 AM

Now at +550?

MD · 05-26-13, 03:56 AM

My hero. <3

Sacrelicious · 05-26-13, 03:59 AM

Yeah its a rough situation, I had to maxi bet Bully Ray at the +650 range to cover all my maxi bets on Sting around the +250ish range.

Uh, guys, I can't see the Wrestling wagering section any more on 5D.

Just me?

Sacrelicious · 05-26-13, 04:24 AM

Just you, it is still on my account.

I asked 5D support, they had taken down the lines temporarily.

You're being hosed, bro, I can still see and access them.

MD · 05-26-13, 05:11 AM

I said -temporarily-, bro.

They're back up now.

Beelzebubzy · 05-26-13, 08:48 AM

Damn. Nicely done kid

plankton43 · 05-26-13, 10:19 AM

You don't think it will turn back in Bully's favor? It isn't until next Sunday.

What did I tell you about talking to support?

It very well could... but while the line was low I arbed out, as I do with every wrestling bet I make for the most part.

Great strategy no doubt. How are you aware the lines are going to change though? For instance, I believe the only two that changed for Wrestlemania were Ryback/Henry (a few times) and Swagger/Del Rio. Being a wrestling fan, I know AJ Style SHOULD win, and I was thinking that Bully Ray should win, but we shall see.

Sacrelicious · 05-26-13, 10:23 PM

Wrestling lines are insanely volatile, and very little money causes a great deal of movement.

plankton43 · 05-29-13, 07:25 PM

Bully Ray back to a favorite at -140. This is crazy line movement even for wrestling.

Sacrelicious · 05-29-13, 07:30 PM

Nah it is pretty standard, betting sting below even money was an error in judgement on my part, however.

Still like Sting to win here.

Any particular reason why you think Sting wins? I feel it would be a huge blow for TNA to take the title off Bully Ray so soon (his first PPV title defense no less). I don't think Sting winning the title would be a smart move on their part when Bully Ray is having the best run of his entire career. I am just hoping it's not a DQ finish or something lame, but I really think Bully Ray retains (most likely with help).

omalley21 · 05-29-13, 11:27 PM

Have any large underdogs at closing line cashed? Is the steam on point everytime?

Kermit · 05-30-13, 08:36 AM

So there is a $25 limit, but you can bet it as many times as you want?

yup. like all 5d lines, you can re-bet a line once the line moves or your limit is reset.

Ok, I see. betus had something similar a few years back for The Ultimate Fighter and I caught wind that Nelson(+500) and Schaub(+800) were the finalists. I ended up with about 10 bets on each guy($50 limit) until the lines dropped significantly they ended up pulling them.

damn that's sweet!

Sacrelicious · 05-30-13, 06:25 PM

I hit the Swagger initial ruling as well, the line on it was +2000ish, then within hours it went down to -2000, then was back up at +2000 a few hours later. He closed as a MASSIVE underdog.

Sting gets laid out at Impact tonight, I see absolutely no reason for him to be in a title bout unless there was a damn good reason, which would be putting the title on him.

Bully gets into some sort of asinine program with Hogan for BFG, the title can not be a part of that, the only question is do they take it off of him now or on TV? My suspicion is they do it now.

Meltzer has a strong lean on Sting for this match.

Though I will admit to my own idiocy for playing Sting as low as -410 on the opening day, I was not expecting the line to reverse like this...

Sacrelicious · 05-30-13, 10:06 PM

I like Sting to win even more after that show.

Either Sting wins here or Bully Ray drops the title at some point on TV before BFG, he is not going to retain it until then methinks.

Beelzebubzy · 05-30-13, 10:24 PM

So who challenges for the title next?

If bully ray then they have styles
if Sting wins there isn't a huge heel to jump in.

They turn people all the time.

Bully/AJ makes the most sense, but I think they are going to go, sadly, for a Bully/Hogan program for BFG.

Sacrelicious · 05-30-13, 10:38 PM

Remember last year when 3 months out from BFG all signs pointed to Roode/Storm, and it made complete and utter sense, and we ended up with Hardy and Aries out of absolutely NOWHERE?
