Bellator 43

[snake11eyes]

What do you guys think.

[urge2kill]

I probably won't have any bets on it. None of the lines have much appeal.

[bjpenn85]

jose vega +280, do you feel this line is correct? i havent seen much of vega og chase bebe, but havent chase bebe just lost against wec guys?

[sirchadwick1]

Jose Vega is probably the only bet I'll make in this one. Beebe is the rightful favorite... but I think that line is off.
Don't see any value elsewhere.

[Vaughany]

Jose Vega is quicker and has better striking but Beebe is superior wrestler. Vega shouldnt be worse than +200 though.

[sirchadwick1]

With some of the crazy calls I've seen in Bellator, I feel a lot better putting money on dogs with a shot(as long as it's not against Pitbull, Warren, Askren, Konrad).

[jesuseatsnubs]

guys go with Rick Hawn , Jose Vega , Bryan Baker and cole province .

I don't know much about Bellator though at all ... just letting ya all know .. so don't take any picks i chose seriously .

Edit : Choosing Rick Hawn instead of Jay Hieron

hey jesus watcha thinkin about

[illmatick]

Vega has some heat behind his left hook. Played him at +300. Beebe's physical strength should be the difference in the fight, though. Probably a late submission.

I can't imagine Hawn getting steamed any further. Line moved 40 cents overnight.

Might jump on him if he falls back into the +145 range.

Joey Gorczynski took in some strong money last night as well.


Haven't been able to confirm this but impressive if true....

- 3x Oklahoma State Champ, a career record of 167-14.
- 5x High School All-American

Anyone able to find the footage of his fight with Hector Lombard?

He was outwrestled pretty easily by Marcus Aurelio.

Perhaps explains his nickname... "The Takedown Wizard" then! Dudes he has lost to most recently have decent records but the guys he's beaten arn't very impressive.

Just watched this fight. Looked like he gassed after that first takedown attempt, lol. From what I could gather form one of his interviews, he supposedly took that fight on short notice.

after a closer look I wasn't too impressed with his wrestling. Gets swept way too often. Stinson pretty active off of his back too.

There might have been value at +260 but I just don't see it at the current price.

[snake11eyes]

I played Baker/Hawn parlay for 2 to 1. Maybe I'll throw a little on Vega or put him in a parlay since you guys seem to like him.

[Vaughany]

Bryan Baker's Mrs is HOT!...

[sirchadwick1]

Bryan Baker's Mrs is HOT!...

Yes sireee! However, her annoying siren of screams is atrocious.
Next time I watch Baker fight, it's going on mute. Congrats on his engagement!

Did anybody hear why this fight didn't happen?

[Chairib]

What happened to Riggs? That bums me out.

Hawn hit +150 again before the fight. Lost a small fortune on him.

Yea he cost me a couple nice parlays I had going. I actually thought he won the fight 2to1, but maybe because I bet on him it swayed my decision. I'm going to say I was on the wrong side of a bad decision again.

[cheeese]

A lot of people feel that way

Money pouring in on Brett Cooper, anyone know why? Injury?
(oops wrong thread)

I noticed that too.. Doesn't matter though, great arb opportunity right now by taking Shlemenko at -155 and Cooper at +165.

The profit margin would be minute tho, unless u've got a book letting u bet 5 figures on each!

If you can afford the swings its better to just bet the soft side than take an arb, or if one side has lower limits than the other, bet through it and increase your return on the soft side.

I always take an arb when I see it. Ended up betting $500 on Shlemenko at -155 and $310.41 on Cooper at +165 (2 different books) and made $12.17. May not seem like much... but in the long haul, it adds up.

I'd feel very, very sorry for you if that fight had somehow ended in a draw.

Why? If it was a draw and I had a straight bet on each guy, my $ would just be refunded. I wasn't betting on a prop or anything. I bet bodog and 5dimes only. Have you lost money by betting on a fighter to win and the fight going to a draw? I always thought it was considered a PUSH. When Frankie/Gray and BJ/Fitch went to a draw I received my funds back.

In that case, I got screwed. I had a straight bet on Maynard against Frankie which wasn't returned to me.

Which book?

[Ladle]

Which book?

I believe it was Sportsbook.

[sirchadwick1]

Sorry to hear that Ladle. I'm sure it all evens out eventually though considering you probably get better lines. I definitely would be careful arbing large funds though, no doubt!

I appreciate that bro. And yeah, I'm a lucky man to have Paddy at my disposal!
