Vaugh, why are you betting 30+ units on Kongo, preparing a hedge or something? I'm getting confused by your units. Could you tell me in how many units your bankroll is divided and do you have any limitations for a maximum bet? i.e. 10/10u. This would help me to size my stake properly when i tail your picks.
Thanks in advance!
Why so heavy on Pierce, V? Just confident or do you think Hendricks will end up the underdog?
i would def also pick pierce here. He seems to be very strong. That will give hendricks problems. And the line will probably shift as well.
Kongo makes me a little nervus. And as the line goes past -200 less and less value imo.
I'm very confident Kongo wins and capped him at -225 to -250 range. Unless I hear about Kongo having injuries or something I won't be hedging. My units and bankroll are different to most - rather than having a set amount as my bankroll, I base my "bankroll" on my profits gained so far and have a general rule that I never bet more than 15% of my profits made on one particular outcome (unless it's an arb of course). So my profit is +323.8 units so I won't bet more than 48.57 units (15% of 323.8) on one outcome. Within that I have other general rules like not betting big on anything worse than -200 but exceptions are made if I think the fighter I like to win isn't at a disadvantage in any area - as was the case with Semerzier against Bruce Leeroy so took him at -225! With Kongo vs Barry, I think Kongo trumps him everywhere except leg kicks! IMO Kongo has wrestling, BJJ, strength + size, reach, experience advantage and pretty much equal in striking so to get him at anything better than -200 meant that I couldn't resist going big!
Bit of both! I expected Pierce to be slight favourite and still think it might end up that way so have possibility of hedging. But more likely I'll put a similar amount on fight going the distance as I can't see Hendricks finishing Pierce. I think it could be similar to the Story fight - like Story I feel Pierce has size and power advantage and good enough wrestling to keep it standing, and maybe get some takedowns of his own - Brenneman was able to take down Hendricks so don't see why Pierce can't.
I was wondering why you like Beltran to win? I still haven't looked at Rosa yet.
