Feeling like a winner. Have you ever even seen a 250 point bet before?

Boys, I hope you emptied your accounts. If someone drops a -310 lock in any other sport, you may scoff and call him a mush. But in MMA, the favourite can often be a good look.
GSP AT -310 VS CONDIT, you have to be kidding me!!!!
Free money.
Lock of the century.

Serious DJ?
GSP got beat up pretty good.
Hendricks was a lot easier. Only had to sweat for :46 seconds... And at -130!!
Glad you hit the big wager pal!

Condit isn't a finisher. He has been made out to be, but he isn't. Matt Serra would have dropped the boom.
He wastes time throwing goofy kicks and jumping around.
GSP was hit for once. But a GSP off a long layoff and knee surgery won 4 rounds out of 5 pretty clearly. Pretty dominant. GSP by Dec. GSP by UD. These props are just getting too easy.

both gsp and condit were in tremendous shape and both came to fight.
gotta give both of them credit for grueling 25 minutes.
but in the end, gsp over powered him on the ground.

Just like I was worried in Silva's first fight against Chael Sonnen...

I bet that fight and it turned out EXACTLY like I thought it would. It's not like I'm giving some riveting analysis but I put my money on GSP winning a decision 50-45. He got clipped recovered and went back to work. Easy money boys. Where's the guys talking about the "value" or betting the right line. All in hiding just like all of us who pounded GSP anticipated.

50-45 is an insult to Condit

It was 49-41 in my book. Condit won the 3rd round not by much. The rest if the fight was utter domination.

1. Read the disclaimer in that post.
2. That post is a guideline, generally meant for beginners are people who are in a slump/betting too much/lifetime losers/etc.
3. That post was intended for major sports.
People who played Condit thinking they were sharp are idiots.
People who had any doubt in their mind about GSP's health are idiots.
People who thought Condit had a chance against a 100% GSP are idiots.
People who don't think GSP is a world class champion/athlete are idiots.
If you bet on a team in any sport and they lead the first half, lose it in the 3rd but then regain it in the 4th and win -- you consider it a good win.
I don't know why you guys think this is any different.

After GSP got dropped by Condits kick in the 3rd someone put a bet for $6500 giving odds of -125 for GSP.

Where can you get live betting for fights? Let alone high limits like that.
I wanted to live-bet Silva in Silva/Sonnen I so bad.

You nailed it. Ah well, did good enough on the undercard to have an ok night.
Wasn't much of a fight, really - outside the 3rd round... Stilll have 0 idea how the judges score fights in UFC, but 1 said GSP won the 3rd, which is a joke, IMO... However, St Pierre is an elite athlete, he won - was a good fight. I was shocked how passive Condit was. WAY too passive standing up... Who does Condit think he is? Jon Jones? c'mon man.
How is it a joke? Condit did not win the third round. You could argue that he did, but realistically it was either a round for GSP or a 10-10 round. Sure, Condit rocked him with the head kick at the start of the round, but GSP recovered and was in DOMINANT control for 3.5 minutes of the round. He dominated MOST of the round. 10-9 for him, or 10-10 because he was rocked and dropped. The 3.5 minute domination surely has to at least make up for the head kick knockdown, if not surpass it. If it was back and forth action after the headkick, then I would give the round to Condit...but after the headkick, it was ALL GSP.
