Greetings! Ive been following the forums for around 3 weeks now , lurking about picking up whatever information I can make use of. First off a big thanks to everyone that contributes to this forum with their picks, opinions and views. Not everything posted I agree with but I do take it into consideration when forming my picks.
Ive followed MMA casually for around 4-5 years but in the last 2 years I really took interest. This month was the first time I had chosen to bet on MMA. My first bets were very very small and littered across the card , my pick % was OK but I burnt too much on "wishful" bets so things hovered at even. Realising that I wasn't going anywhere and really had no idea how to run an epic bet system like some I've seen posted here, I decided to put down a considerable bet on Renan Barao ( after considerable research online but I would like to see more footage of fighters in the future ), newbie luck it paid?
Now I had my first win and damn it felt good.
I kept going with (UFC) cards each weekend Ben Henderson, Dos Santos. Then 139 rolled around, high from my weeks of success I played 3 fights. Story, Shogun, Bonnor. I didn't put too much on Story and Shogun but enough to run a loss for the weekend and taught me a good lesson not to be over enthusiastic betting across too many fights. Without Bonnor I really would have blown it good, and he was initially the only bet I put down but in my lust for more wins I ended up playing more.
Bellator come up, I already had a good bet sitting on Patricky on the fight after the Renan success. I watched his price slide from "underdog" ( made me laugh TBH ) to favourite. Yes the fight was stopped a tad premature, but I do believe it was inevitable. I placed a last minute ( decent ) bet on Dantas which also paid.
After looking back at all these fights it come to my realisation that I was rather "lucky" with decent paying odds. Looking at December I feel like November was a really great month for picks. There are a couple of fights that I have some interest, but I don't feel very confident at all. I do like Jason Miller at his price tho.
Does anyone else agree that November was a good month for picks ( and the fights all round were great! )? Or did I just have some great newbie luck and I should take the money and run?
