    Live betting SAVED MY ASS -- the best way to ARB

    God Bless live betting.

    I was HEAVY on Brandao before the fight started.

    Elkins hit +750 after Brandao's early assault (which I pounded to arb out at a profit).

    Did the opposite on the Barboza fight. I was on Varner before the fight.
    Then locked in my profits as soon as the odds shifted live (when Barboza was about even).

    I'm just LOVING the live betting for ARBs.

    Live betting IS NOT arb man, you can win sometimes when odds move in the other way, but just one bad day and your week profit goes down. In MMA is even worst, one punch can change everything.

    I hear what you're saying -- and you're right. Sometimes the odds don't shift in our favor. However, in most fights the odds shift a few times. And when they do -- you can lock in profits. That' s my point.

    Yeah, in the elkins fight you could tell Brandao's face was BEET red. Now does this mean he is gassed for sure? No. But I'm ******* willing to lay +750 that he is. I don't know what they were thinking on that one.

    Trying to hedge bets in live betting is the worst thing you could do. I would recommend not even opening live betting if you put a wager down before the fight starts. I panicked once when Matt Riddle was losing his last fight a dumped a bunch of money on Henry Martinez. I bet huge on Riddle and he won but lost most of my profit hedging out. I was very pissed and won't make that mistake again.

    It's quite possible. I'll let you know if they "ban me" or "limit me" from live betting.

    I personally prefer to lock in smaller GUARANTEED profits (most of the time) than to risk not making anything.

    I love live betting the fights I didn't bet beforehand. Especially the close fights that you don't have a good read on. You can really get a good feel for game plans and sometimes judge if a fight to go the distance bet is worth it. I was able to snag Dolloway at +180 in the first round after he got rocked and then got a takedown. I knew he would lay on Miller after that.

    When it comes to live betting, books don't care if you're arbing back and forth all day long.

    Anyway, if any certain aspect of betting was way more profitable for me, I certainly wouldn't post about it on a public forum. I would keep those ricebowls to myself.

    I'm storing rice bowls as we speak.
