    Kimbo Slice vs Dada5000 crazy line movement

    Here is the scoop:

    http://www.mmamania.com/2016/2/19/11...-las-vegas-mma


    As we approach the fascinating spectacle that is the Bellator 149 card (results here), with the five-fight main card kicking off at 9 p.m. ET on Spike TV, betting lines have changed for one of the more intriguing bouts on the evening, a heavyweight grudge match between power-punchers Kimbo Slice and Dada 5000.

    At first, it was Slice pegged as the -360 favorite by LV Sportsbook, but that changed yesterday (Thurs., Feb. 18, 2016) when the line abruptly swerved in the direction of Dada 5000, whose birth name is Dhafir Harris.
    From ESPN's Brett Okamoto:
    "Spoke to manager at LV Sportsbook in Vegas, betting line for Kimbo Slice moved from -360 to pick today. According to book manager, 'three to four guys' walked in and bet the limit about 20 times. 'Just kept firing on the dog over and over.' For a Bellator fight, LV Sportsbook has taken in 'an unheard of amount of money' according to the manager. Another round of bets on Dada5000 by same 3-4 individuals at LV Superbook takes the Slice line back to a pick-em right now. Wow."
    Talk about a swing in momentum. It would be wise to hold your hand and not lay down any wagers for the time being, even as we sit just hours away from showtime.
    Other notable sportsbooks, like Bovada, are displaying similar lines for the emotionally-driven co-main event between former Miami street brawlers.
    Both Slice and Dada will look to put a stamp on their longstanding feud, which goes back multiple decades to a time when they were part of the same group of friends. For the former UFC competitor Slice, he just wants his old friend to keep the past in the past.

    I bet Kimbo at 5Dimes.

    Bookmaker isn't offering odds on the fight.

    the next update will be "those same three or four fellows just crushed kimbo at pk, thus driving the line back up to -360"

    Exactly, wondered this myself. I guess it gives them a little chance to remove or move the line if a few people start max hitting it a couple times. Like a tape delay for a live broadcast.

    OK so all the money is down and someone is about to get caught... What do they do? Have to cancel the fight last minute. Dada going to injure something before go time?

    Combine this line movement with the last Kimbo fight which everyone said was fixed... looks bad.

    two dudes grew up together...more than likely are still friends behind the scene

    Dada was what about +280 just a few days ago? Why not fix a fight and take a free shot at books...at 42y.o. you don't have many fights left, so gotta make that money in anyway you can, while people are still paying to see you fight.

    They move the line after every max bet. Happened to me last year at Palace Station during NCAA tournament on a 1st half total. Don't ask why I was at Palace Station

    If the fix is in the fix is in. Nothing I can do about that. Kimbo should handle this guy easily, unless of course the fix is in.

    This could be like fukkin Italian soccer.

    You can actually only bet the max one time. Once the line moves then you can max it again and you can keep doing it each time there is a change in the line.

    On a side note, I was checking out the tv schedule and it looks like the fight is on live (6pm my time) but only on the Spanish Spike channel. It's on the english spike channel 3 hours later at 9PM.

    What the fuk is up with that?

    First bet at a Spanish book, if you lose, bet the other way a few hours later at an English book, of course.

    A similar way to make money is to find a bookie that is still offering the prop Dada wins ITD.... Like this below...

    Pending 2/19/16 10:30pm MMA Props Fighting 3105 Harris wins inside distance +335* vs Not Harris inside distance


    Now arb out with Kimbo straight when the odds get close to even. Easy money made with very very little risk..

    Definition of a fix. Completely meaningless fight to everyone involved -500 kimbo bet against himself.

    Yep, but the limit is $250 while the rest of the fights on the card are $1K. They are worried about the fix.

    My only bet on this card is Guillard vs Campos over 1.5 rounds -140

    Also Sharks ML vs Carolina in NHL
