Understanding fight odds in Vegas and why I gamble.

What the numbers you're about to see mean is if there's a minus sign then the amount following is how much you need to bet to win $100.

If you see a plus sign then that's how much you WIN if you bet $100. SO on Conzaga you need to bet $130 to win an even $100 meaning you'd walk away from that bet with a total of $230
$130 stake + $100 winnings = $230

On Randy it's even money.

Now is where it gets interesting ... look at GSP vs Kos. I want GSP to win. I like GSP and think he will win, but look at those numbers and ... if you're a real MMA fan ... think of how Kos fights. On GSP I'd need to bet $250 to win $100 ... not worth it. However with Kos $100 gets me $190

..... Kos has a serious shot at beating GSP because of his style match-up. I want GSP to win, but I gotta put my money on Kos. A $500 bet wins me $950 (plus my $500 stake turning $500 into $1450) and gives me a real mindfuck for the fight "Fucking hit 'em GSP ... get up and take him down Kos you pussy" and so on.

So then the trick for me to get a real buzz without losing the farm is not to bet sooo much that I'd go bankrupt, yet enough that if I lose it all I eat macaroni -n- cheese for a month. Ohh yeah and I have to spend the money on completely frivolous things. I have a bass boat and like to upgrade it or buy high dollar tackle. The feeling I get as I walk into Cabalas with my winnings and buy the best trolling motor money can buy with my winnings lasts for days.

Drugs cannot give me the buzz I get in those kinds of fights. I normally only bet on MMA now ... although a night of Texas hold 'em is still a rare event I treasure but only from my winnings on an MMA event

.

So here are the numbers on the fight tonight. These numbers will change at fight time ... sometimes drastically.

I put 500 fake bucks on Koscheck over an hour ago over at MMA Playground. Pays more than 3 to 1 if he wins.

At least ya get cash for picking the fights right. If I lose all that money I should end up with say 50-60 bucks at least.

WTF?!?!?!? commercials for a fucking movie in a main ppv event totally lacks class.

bigss75 · 08-25-2007, 10:16 PM

no shit, Koz already looked like he lost when he came to the ring

bigss75 · 08-25-2007, 10:22 PM

There will be blood!!

ReproMan · 08-25-2007, 10:29 PM

HO LEEEE SHIT!!!! Here we go to Rd. 3!!!!

ReproMan · 08-25-2007, 10:32 PM

Ok Fuck Me, Randy Rules!!!

BoneCrusher · 08-25-2007, 10:33 PM

That was out standing MMA.

ReproMan · 08-25-2007, 10:36 PM

That was some impressive shit. The broken nose was unfortunate but it was inevitable, Randy would have won that in a few rounds either way. Wow.

bigss75 · 08-25-2007, 10:37 PM

Pretty good UFC. I want to see the match that caused all that blood. I heard Mir looked good

BoneCrusher · 08-25-2007, 10:38 PM

Hey Krazyhorse is on Showtime ... right now is the walk out. He's in a rematch with Joe Boxer

bigss75 · 08-25-2007, 10:39 PM

Man they had a pretty !hardcore! promo for tuf

BoneCrusher · 08-25-2007, 10:42 PM

Which made Dana a total asshole. He booted two fighters in a big show of how they don't act like they really do in the un-aired video we just saw.

Yeah, I'd flip shit if they completely trashed the company house. The 1st one they charged em for breaking stuff, now its just good tv.

I thought the same thing. Looked like Hughes when he lost to GSP. What the fuck is going on.

AKIRA · 08-25-2007, 11:19 PM

Holyfucking shit, what an incredible fight night. Not 1 fight was dull.

I think my favorite fight was the Huerta fight. I am still on the fence on using the telepromptor (sp?) as a tactic for cheap usage. However, the guy he fought was resentless. Prolly the most heart Ive ever seen.

Stevensons fight was really the only non-surprise I got for the night.

I was so happy that Kendall lost. I dont like him. Fuck him.

But what really surprised me...jesus, were the main cards! I was screaming when I saw GSP doing...a TAKEDOWN?!

Either way, that fucker was dynamite tonight! GREAT upset!!!!!

Randy...jesus, what can you say about this guy. Captain America is the best title. Hes beaten too many odds to not have the credit he deserves.
