        Agreed, and that's why Bedford is still getting his show money. Nice of the UFC to do that.

            I know and I hate Dana White for it. Bisping ran away like a faggotty pussy against Chris Leben. Yet, he got a fight of the night bonus for that display of vagina.

                  I had Rashad at -145, but I arbed out on Davis at +170. Thinking more and more that Davis will avoid the strikes and grind it out against the cage and on the ground.

                    I adding another 30 units on Rashad earlier at -162.5. Im gonna wait until fight night tho and see if Davis hits closer to +200 before arbing...not beyond the realms of possibility...although he's more likely to stick between +160 and +180

                      It depends on what you think the fair price is.

                      If you made the original bet with the intention to arb it out with the expectation that the line would move the way it did, sure.

                      If you made the original bet because you thought it had value, why would you throw away the same value?

                      It's like buying a $20 bill for $10, and then selling it to the next guy for $12.

                          free money?

                          5dimes - evans/davis starts round 3 -170
                          bodog - evans/davis won't complete 2 rounds +275

                          i put the question mark b/c based on the literal wording of these lines, if the fight completes 2 rounds but somehow doesnt start round 3 (i.e., someone quits in between rounds), it will completely backfire. but i highly doubt that scenario.

                                    Yeah it's a quasi-arb as not all possible outcomes are covered so u just have to consider whether it's still worth it and what are the chances of a fighter quitting in between rounds in relation to your ROI. I guess Neer/Wisnewski was the last time a fight didnt start the third round but completed 2. A lot of my "arbs" when I take two opposing fighters to win are actually sometimes "quasi-arbs" as a lot of books offer the "draw" option, so there is sometimes the very small chance that they draw and I lose both sides of the bet.

                                        it wins you money easily in the long run. But it requires some experience. I have made a bigger bet with chael sonnen decision hedged with fight not going the distance. Here i am banking on bispings only chance to win the fight is inside distance.

                                        For those of you that have the opportunity to play on eurobooks, note that bisping by submission can be bought for the lovely price of +1400 @ skybet.

                                          It helps (me, at least) to think what you're actually betting. In this case, you're betting "Fight won't be stopped between rounds 2 and 3" at -598.

                                            Yee buddy! And they'll probably offer Bisping SOTN at +2000 or something on Saturday

                                              Yea that does help! I'd say that 85.67% is decent value as I'd guess at least 95% of fights (without any assessment of actual data!) aren't stopped between rounds 2 and 3! And when you consider the styles of Rashad and Davis u can't imagine either gassing out and quitting in between those rounds. It would have to be a cut or damaged eye or something like that

                                                Don't forget, they both have black man skin. Other than John Howard(during that fight with Jake, I was actually wondering why isn't he bleeding yet after all those elbows. But then, he started welting), can you think of black guys bruising and welting up at all. In boxing, you see it, but they take way more damage and punches. Their skin doesn't cut and bruise up near as easily. You really gotta pound them. Compare that to certain white guys, such as Marcus Davis, who you can fart in front of and open up a cut around his eye.

                                                  It may have something to do with the elastic properties of black peoples skin. However, to orientation, black people or not immortal.

                                                        Nunya, how were you able to calculate that? Could you educate a beginner?

I guess Neer/Wisnewski was the last time a fight didnt start the third round but completed 2. A lot of my "arbs" when I take two opposing fighters to win are actually sometimes "quasi-arbs" as a lot of books offer the "draw" option, so there is sometimes the very small chance that they draw and I lose both sides of the bet.
                                                          I think Munoz-Leben was the most recent fight to stop after completing 2 rounds (a month later in November). Anyone else think of one more recently? Either way, it's rare as hell. Probably once every 4-5 cards at most doing the math (i.e. 40-50 fights) so that's a nice value play.

                                                            They will bleed, but it generally takes a lot more to do it. I swear, Ellenberger was landing so many short elbows on Howard, it was amazing it took as long as it did for the stoppage. Was amazed how little Jake wanted to do with Howard standing in that fight as well

But that is an example of where the likelihood of it happening for that particular fight would have to be calculated higher (by happening I mean fighter quitting in between rounds) because of the difference in cardio between the two fighters
