    I don't expect fukuda to be anything more than -300 but your right I shouldn't have worded it like that because if the odds are terrible the bet doesn't make sense, and I shouldnt play it. What I meant to say is that I feel that fukuda is a lock against cantwell...I hope to be able to play him moderate.

      This is a very winnable fight for Dan Hardy.

                      Not yet, but it will be! I like Duane in this one ! Hopefully he is a good dog. Duane attacks with all different types of striking, knees, punches, kicks.

                          Sass puts on a Joe Lauzon like pace in the first round and can gas in the second. all of those pulling guards are taxing on the body. I would not be surprised if Volkmann's weak gnp causes a tKO stoppage, but yes, those are the two most likeliest of outcomes.

                          Volkmann seems intelligent enough not to fall for those traps.

                            Sass is very good at latching on to certain submissions, but Volkmann is still the superior grappler. Terry Etim is another fighter similar to Sass who might not be a black belt but still has a very aggressive and creative submission game which has lead to submission wins against lesser grapplers such as Holst, Michael Johnson, Jason Young, Jason Ball (Sass), or Faalotolotoo, Bucholz, Grice (Etim). Nonetheless, when he fought a legit black-belt in Dos Anjos, we found that Etim was slightly out of his depth on the ground and still very raw, and eventually tapped out. I wouldn't be surprised if a similar thing happened in this Sass fight.

                              “I’d say [it is a death sentence]. That’s a very tough fight for Ryan Bader. Don’t get me wrong, Bader’s a tough guy and I’ve got a lot of respect for him, he came back from two tough losses impressively. But Rampage is going to be excited to fight in Japan, he’ll be excited to get back to winning ways, that’ll be a good win for Rampage.” - Bisping

                                Adding:


                                Parlay (double): 11 units on Okami (-275) and Shields (-250) to win 10 units.


                                Also put 60 units on Palaszewski at +175 with intention of arbing out with Hioki at -140 to -150 range.

                                    That's a money parlay...

                                    And Volkmann will smother Sass for another decision.

                                        Added 50 units on Shields at -250. Will arb with Sexyama who should reach +300 by fight time.

                                              So you're not confident enough in anyone to avoid arbing out?

                                                  Or throw away money. Depends how you look at it. If the guy you're using to arb loses, you're throwing away money. If you have enough confidence in a fighter, probably shouldn't arb.

                                                    Because the free money exists because one side is mispriced. You're hedging away your edge.

                                                    Like I've said before, arbing is like buying a $20 bill from a guy for $10, and then selling it to another guy for $12.

                                                          You're looking at it wrong. There are people who arb all day for a living. No one says you can't make a profit in arbitrage. I contend that if Vaughany wasn't arbing and he kept his position on the soft side only, he'd be up many times that amount.

                                                          I used to be an arber too. I think everyone who has the time and inclination to lineshop does it for at least a while. My profits increased dramatically when I stopped doing it (although my variance went through the roof.)

                                                            I got him good? I wasn't trying to "get him," you fool. I was curious if he was so confident in anyone on this particular card where he didn't feel the need to arb out. Was that a bad question to ask?

                                                            BTW- if he didn't arb, his total profits would be a lot more than that (unless most of his picks are losers)... so your post is completely dumb and redundant. In other words, you said "He profited +689.919 units when he could have profited +1,486.842 units. Look at him throwing away money. Damn, you got him good Gabe."

                                                            Um, I guess I did? Wasn't my intention, though. But thanks!

                                                                      Sportsbetting has small limits, small edges, and juice to be paid on both sides. In addition you have to manage numerous bankrolls and keep from being noticed.

                                                                      The more reasonable argument is, you bought Apple at 300, thinking it had great value at the time. The next day its at 303 do you sell? If its at 500 a few years later, did you make a mistake?
