    The Quest to a 71%+ Win Rate in MMA Betting

    Okay, I'm going to start this thread in order to attempt to get at least a 71% win rate in documented MMA plays.

    First off, my plays for this weekend are:

    Jon Jones,
    Sara McMann,

    and lastly,

    Not Magalhaes in Rd 1.

    I will not include lines here, because they are not relevant to the nature of this challenge.

    But I will keep the challenge going over the next several months, possibly the next year, to show that it is entirely possible, with a great deal of hard work and careful handicapping, to achieve a 71%+ success rate in MMA betting.

    Since you are not posting lines, and your plays are extremely juicy, you should state that it is a 71% pick rate instead of win rate.

    Here are the current lines for your picks on 5dimes

    JonJones -1100
    Sara McMann -750
    Not Magalhaes in Rd 1 -1580

    Dude lines here don't matter, its not relevant, if you do not understand why it is not relevant, read recent threads.

    I thought the 71% meant this is a dig at me but it can't be since a great % of my wins have been dogs and small favs.

    If it is meant to be a dig at me, this fat boy really is mentally ill.

    if you're at 71% betting 10-1 favorites it means you're a shitty capper.

    Gabe only counts his recommended plays though, bro. If that's all we're going by, I'm far more successful than Gabe. Every single play that I've put in my status message or started a thread about has cashed. Every single one. Bendo over Nate -155, Curran as a dog against Pitbull, Curran as a favourite against Shamhalaev, Cain at close to +200 against JDS, Machida over Henderson -200, and more. That's a 100% win-rate, Gaberz.

    Okay, forgot to update this after the show, but I did in fact go 3-0 with my recommended plays. So far, I'm successfully out-capping Gabe, as he only hits 71% and I've hit 100%, but the sample size is still too small to really prove anything.

    There is no UFC for a couple weeks, so I'm going to add on a boxing play:

    Mayweather -700

    i wouldn't exactly recommend alan belcher against bisping to people but it counts as one of my losses now

    i wasn't on elkins and didn't bother taking a shot in the dark with him so i can't count him as a loss. idiots believing i thought he was a lock vs mendes are just that; idiots.

    I'm also going to add on:

    Wladimir Klitschko -3500

    Very good chance I actually am still 100% after this weekend, which is significantly better then Gabe's 71%, a whole 29% better, specifically.

    Definitely not trying to be impressive here.

    Though I will stand by this: Fandango opening at -350 was the single best wager I have ever seen.

    Fliers need light to fly. If it's a flier but it's a shot in the dark then it doesn't count because it was never flown. Pfft, every bettor knows that!

    While I agree with the sentiment of your post, I am going to have to politely disagree.

    He is actually several orders of magnitude worse then what you describe, no huevos is just the tip of the iceberg for how lame this guy is.

    i tweeted that i liked fliers (i assume flier means "shot in the dark gamble") on elkins and mir (also uyenoyama and hugo viana but didnt mention those in the tweet) but i did not end up placing a cent on either of the 4 fighters i thought were worth a flier. even if i did bet on them, why would those count towards my handicapping record? my record reflects wagers i capped and liked the odds that they would cash. it'd be silly to add every longshot or impulse bet i make to my capping record. i think it's completely ridiculous that i have to explain this. this is why i call you a dumb child.

    I'm already 100 percent in my capping, that is a lot better then 71%.

    no, they wouldn't. many plays have hit that are not on my record. most recently; rustam khabilov, osp, jorge masvidal, and anthony njokuani.

    Man, I can't believe I have not been up to speed on this thread.

    In any case, I'm currently capping 100% with my recommended plays, still doing much better then 71%.

    My next play:

    Erick Silva/Jason High NOT a draw -23000.

    I think I had my account limited on 5D or something. I made a flier on Mark Hunt at around +350 as I saw value, put $100 on him, then when Mark Hunt lost, they didn't refund me. I contacted support and explained to them that it was a flier, not a bet, but they still took my money. Do I have any sort of legal ground here? I'm thinking I should sue them.
