This PPV sucks so much balls right now, it is unreal.

AJ has value at -900.

I still like Sting to win here.

another three hours of wasted life for what? 9.50 an hour lol.

I started out handicapping MMA for twenty hours a week with a $100 bankroll, grinding out $10 profits at a return of about $0.50 an hour. I now handicap MMA around six or seven hours a week with a similar return on my bankroll per UFC card on average, but making a hell of a lot more than minimum wage. Gotta take value where you can get it bro.

[omalley21]

Only 6 or 7 hours a week? Damn thats impressive return on investment. You just pick certain fights and focus on them? I couldnt cap an entire card that quickly.

[NunyaBidness]

More importantly, there are things more valuable than dollars per hour.

Perhaps, he ENJOYS watching wrestling?

Explains why he liked Maynard over Grant. . .

Don't take my word for it; almost everyone on the internet exaggerates or flat-out lies about their success in gambling. I'm not doing either, but you should assume I am, since statistically you'll be right most of the time. +EV.

As for my 'capping process, I generally try to watch the last three or four fights for each fighter of each fight I'm interested in, starting with the oldest and working up to the most recent. I have extensive notes and some saved clips of interest for most fighters by this stage, though, and a good memory, so there's a lot of fights that I don't have to watch much (if any) footage on, simply because all of the things I need to know, I've already made note of. That said, some of my notes are outdated, as obviously my handicapping ability improves with time, and things that I've missed before will now become more apparent to me when I re-watch footage. Generally I don't base my handicapping solely on notes unless I've updated them extensively in the last year or so.

You should have said Payan over Stephens, so that I couldn't bring up how I nailed Grant by KO +1000 and Grant KO of the Night +2300.

[omalley21]

Thanks. I hear you. I don't claim anything on here, no value in that. You're on a damn impressive run. I used to only take mental notes, im starting to actually write em down now. I also try to watch their last 3-4 fights in chronological order. Do you have a martial arts background? Its funny some of my friends are pro fighters and they can't necessarily pick/analyze fights better than me at all. I train a little bit but nothing serious, just for kicks...

I'm not a redneck, but I started watching this shit when I was about 4 and I can not seem to stop.

Lmao.. but honestly it beats sitting around waiting for decent cards (poker)

[PunisherIND]

i think thor was referring to the price of the ppv. i.e., he paid 9.50/hr to watch the ppv. no?

I remember paying for WWE PPV's in about 2003....

Ain't nobody got time for that these days, they suck balls.

That's why I 12-table, son. Always got a hand.

Thanks man, I appreciate the kind words.

I competed in judo nationally for a few years. I did some striking disciplines during that time period too, but never competitively. As for if it helps my handicapping... I'll say yes, but not because I actually did the martial arts. I think that it helped because practising martial arts made me love martial arts, and thus, I wanted to learn more about martial arts theory. I am of the opinion that understanding the theoretical side of striking or the theoretical side of grappling is a great boon in handicapping, and far more important than actually practising any kind of martial art. I think a 400 lbs guy who sits on his couch all day and reads lectures by renowned grapplers is more likely to see success in handicapping than your average BJJ practitioner with a couple of years of experience. I think most people who train in martial arts believe that it gives them an advantage when it comes to gambling. Most will inevitably find out that it does not.

Lol. Just turned on tna just in time for this aj styles guy. Pro wrestling has changed a little bit lol

[Sacrelicious]

AJ/Kurt should be an awesome show.

[Dwil125]

It definitely gives me an advantage md on June 21st I'll be betting on the rfa 8main event on axs after watching Jeff's entire training camp.

[Sacrelicious]

HOLY penetrate.

[Sacrelicious]

Unreal. If Kurt lost, Sting wins, I reckon.

i could agree with that. i'll even one up you and say anyone who participated in martial arts is a phaget. shit is a joke, bowing and shit like a phaget to the four winds. if you ever saw anyone do tae kwon doe they look really funny.

i remember as a child after seeing the film "teenage mutant ninja turtles" i asked my father if i could take karate lessons. he told me that shit was for chinks and he didnt air out the domes of chinks in 'nam jus so i could prance around like a ballerina in a room full of sissy boys while the "sensei" milked his wallet dry talking bout cracker jack belts and shit.

he hired an asian prostitute and made me "do her" as he put it right infornt of him. after i climaxed he just stared at me and clapped slowly. after that he took me to boxing where i spent the next ten years or so fighting for my life against niqqas and puerto rikkans who had a bone to pick with "whitey".

made me the man i am today. if niqqas did that they wouldnt be going 0-19 all in this moofocker.

Is bully ray bubba from wwe? Like bubba and Devon tag team?

[Sacrelicious]

Ugh..........

[bubblebuttluv]

Yeah, there was something weird like the WWE still owns the right to the Bubba Ray name, so if he wanted to fight in TNA he had to change his name.

How much did you lose tonight Sac?

Shit, Nunya not just bashing everyone?

Damn man bring back the hate. We don't like a kind Nunya.

[bubblebuttluv]

Sorry to any who lost to night. I am glad I cashed on my Kurt Angle bet. Granted it was only $1 to win $10, but I was low on non-pending funds at the time. We'll all get them next time!

[TheCalculator]

Maybe this will cheer you up -- it really tends to put everything into perspective for me by giving me a "360".

[Sacrelicious]

How much did you lose tonight Sac?

After arbing was done, only a few hundred.

Still, fuckin TNA....

[pouyasophy]

sacrelicious I'm not trying to be an a$$ but have you ever had sex with a woman without paying her? Just wondering because your jokes are incredibly not funny for something who puts a lot of effort into them, your picks are usually way off, and you watch pro wrestling, bet on it, and pretend you're not the only one who cares about it, and in the boxing/ufc subforum.

[Vaughany]

Gaberrrrzzz, GET THE TABLES!!!!!

Gotta take value where you can get it bro.

u are handicapping a real sport where the outcome is not determine (unless it goes to the judges of course in big money fights) These fights can be enjoyable and u can make decent money with bigger limits. He is watching a show that is comparable to General hospital where he is trying to figure out the plots with wagers that won't top three digits and barely two. All he needs to do is lose one of those big favs and he needs to watch another three years to get the money back lol.

[Thor4140]

i think thor was referring to the price of the ppv. i.e., he paid 9.50/hr to watch the ppv. no?

nah i was referring to all the time he has to spend watching this stuff to make min wagers
