    Depends how could your stake control is. Doesnt matter on the sport if you dont know how much to stake or get carried away

    The average mma better will just bet names; hence, why cain was an opening line dog in his first mma fight. As well, the average ufc better likes to take the major dogs who have names -- such as Rampage and Hughes at ufc 135.

    I really think that exploiting the opening lines (something I personally don't do as I don't refresh my book 24/7) is the best way to beat mma. If you follow it closely and have an idea what the fight odds should be you can find lots of opening lines that will profit you greatly.

    It hasn't even fully taken off yet so the value will be there for a long time to come. In 10 years there will be no waiting weeks for an mma event.

    1: Provide some evidence that cain opened an underdog against morris. http://bestfightodds.com/events/ufc-...st-pierre-2-40 all the books here opened him the favourite.

    2: What the hell does the opening line have to do with the average bettor?

    3: Assuming the average bettor bets 'name' fighters, how on earth does that support the proposition that morris would be favoured, when morris was (and still is) a complete nobody?
