    UFC on 2 Fox , bet of the night

    Found this pearl on 5dimes:

    Bisping +3,5 to the odds 2,75.

    I mean, the likelihood of Sonnen knocking Bisping out must be so close to zero that we can rule it out. Chael Sonnen submitting Bisping, ok, he submitted Stan (which is completely green on the ground, and lack octagon experience in comparison to Bisping), then we have the last third option, Sonnen getting a 10-8 round. With his pillow fists - come on!

    I see great value in this bet, as Bisping has great tdd and a kind of elusive stile, where he will bug Sonnen with quick jabs and great footwork.

    This odds really seem to have value in my eyes, i mean, he basically just needs to come out of the fight alive for it to be winning, what are your opinions?

    I don't think you understand what this bet is.

    Judges Scorecard Sonnen wins by decision, 30-27, +3,5 means that Bisping will win with 30-30,5, which will give me the win.

    In case he should win inside the distance, itīs also considered a win. Do you have some other idea of what this bet means, go ahead and give your explanation.

    Come on, he subbed Brian Stan, heīs not exactly a wiz on the ground, but he rather looked like a beetle off his back.

    Bisping's ground game is continually overlooked. Only way Sonnen subs him for me is if he somehow drops him with a punch and follows up with a rear-naked or something

    Nope, you have no idea what it means.

    Let me ask you, which single judge do you think they're going to pick to place the bet on?

    i misread the thread

    i like this as a underdog "value" bet, not my overall easy winner "best" bet...anybody can take heavy ML mma winners all day and get a good record...

    You guys are way too nice to these dummies.

    I mean if you think a site is going to lay you + money that a guy in a competitive fight will not lose by worse than 30-27. You need to pull back a little and think "what am I missing?"

    This prop actually opened at Sonnen -3.5 -150 which I thought was a good play.

    Sonnen will take him down to the ground, like he does against any striker.

    I think youīre missing the whole point of the bet. Sonnen is a huge favourite, righteously, but heīs not a finisher, and therefore I see great value in the bet. If it would have been 5 rounds, it wouldnt, but in a three round fight vs someone whoīs hardly ever finished someone in the ufc.

    Yeah I do think this bet has a lot of value at the current odds, and besides stupid oneliners from you, Iīve seen nothing from you proving me wrong. So unless you got something substantially to bring to the table, stfu.

    They just get dumber and dumber.

    If the fight is scored 30-27 for Sonnen, your bet LOSES, it doesn't win like you think for some reason.

    You really shouldn't gamble on things you don't understand.

    Hmm, or wait, did i **** up big time? Unless it means that you sum up the score cards, and divide it by the three judges the bet really sucks.

    30-27, 30-27, 30-27 =

    90 - 81

    plus your +3.5

    =

    90 - 84.5

    Basically, these +3.5 bets are good for if you think a fight will be scored 29-28s across the board against you.

    -3.5 bets are good for when you think it's likely to be a unanimous 30-27 decision but want some hedging because there is a decent chance your guy pulls off the finish.

    It's not totally dead. If Bisping wins one round on all 3 judges scorecards you've got a shot. If Bisping subs him, you've got a win too.

    You also might be able to talk to support and cancel the bet, explaining that you didn't understand what they meant. If the line hasn't moved they MIGHT be gracious enough to do it.

    Yeah, the play's Chael -3.5.

    Chael's never lost a round in the UFC - and no this isn't Chael trolling. Look it up. He either gets subbed or he wins on points 30-27x3 (aside from his most recent Stann sub win). So Chael -3.5 >>> Chael straight up at twice the return.

    I've already bet 1u and will bet a bit more, likely within a parlay.
