The Betting Fix: UFC 139 and Bellator 58
Last week was full of blasphemy, sacrilege, and shaming of my family. Not only did I fail to include the pure awesome of Bellator 57 in The Betting Fix in my MMA on network TV haze; I completely left out the lovely KatGirl's earnings last week! Perhaps I had just lost so much proverbial monies that I couldn't afford to pay attention *drum roll*. My sincerest apologies to Kat girl over leaving out the fact that she doubled her hypothetical doe with 11.6 units won off that 10 unit bet, and my half-assed apologies to Alexander Schlemenko for not allowing everyone to bet on him doubling his number of title shots against Hector Lombard. "Failure" is my middle name. Well, technically it is "Andrew", or so this so called birth certificate tells me.
Lucky for me, Bellator is willing to forgive my infidelities as long as I attend Bellator 58 to sit on the floor next to Sean & Jimmy and take pictures! I'll be on site with the littlest camera that could snapping shots of guys like Hector Lombard, Eddie Alvarez, and Marlon Sandro while Jackie live blogs the action over at Bloody Elbow. The UFC will have to forgive me for a night, and maybe Kat will forgive me if I promise to ask anything she wants at the Post-Fight Press Conference.
So join us after the jump! I promise there are fight lines for both major cards, and I promise to post your earnings on Sunday too!
*Sunday Edit* Katgirl comes in big again by turning 10 units into 22 units! Great picks for the second week in a row. Honorable mentions to RolloTomasi who doubled his doe as well.
The Rules
- Every week we will be posting the betting odds based off of BetUs.com fight lines.
- Each user will get 10 Units to play for the week to play on any fights in any event.
- Only straight bets will be allowed. No Round Robins or Parlays (for my mathematical sanity)
- At the end of each week, the winner's picks and total units won will be posted!
- Although side wagers (i.e. signature bets, or who has to make the Lethal Lemonades for UFC 130) are not necessary, they are always encouraged.
Betting Explanation
For those of you who aren't degenerate gamblers like myself, don't be turned off by these crazy +/- numbers. It is all actually quite simple. There are only three simplified rules you need to know to start playing
- A "+" means you win more money than you bet, and a "-" means you win less money than you bet (aka the "+" is the underdog, and the "-" is the favorite).
- After the +/- you will see a number. A "+" number indicates how much you win if you bet 100 units (betting 100 units on a "+200" line will win you 200 units. Betting 1 unit on a "+200" line will win your 2 units. Betting 3.4 units on a "+200" line will win you 6.8 units).
- A "-" number indicates how much you need to bet in order to win 100 units (a "-200" line means you need to bet 200 units to win 100. A "-340" line means you need to bet 340 units to win 100.)

UNDER for Kingsbury/Bonnar for 3 units
WIN for Trevor Prangley for 1 unit
Go Prangley!
The bottom line is Georges is being a little bitch. He didn’t step up and say anything when the UFC pulled me out of this fight. I understand sometimes you have to do what you’re told, but why wouldn’t you tell the media you still want to fight me? If I was Georges, I would want to fight the best. I would have asked for the Anderson Silva fight. I would have asked to fight the Strikeforce champ. But he sits there like a robot and doesn’t say anything at all, just like he’s not going to say anything about me calling him a bitch now. If I saw BJ Penn walking down the street and called him a bitch, we would be fighting right there on the spot. — Nick Diaz

You have less balls than Rachel, you didn't put anything on Trevor Prangley.

No way.
Your 10 is safer with Hendo than Rachel’s 5/5 with Hendo and Prangley. If Prangley was more of a favorite than he is, then you would probably be correct. Putting half of your bet on a +600 underdog is definitely higher risk.

I'm not looking at odds.
every fight is mostly 50/50 to me, unless it’s an
Anderson Silva or Jon Jones fight, then it’s more like 70/30.

If that's how you look at fights, then I understand.
Hector Lombard definitely isn’t Anderson Silva, but surely you have to consider him at least a 65/35 favorite.

Sure he is physically imposing… which I think is part of why he kills people, intimidation. But at 205? How big will he be. Ill be 2 feet from him throwin fists so ill let you know

He weighed in at 203
And I heard him say he didn’t cut anything at all. Methinks he’s still around there right now.

Yup
He’s very physically imposing, but he is short. Prangley had several inches on him.

5 on Rua
5 on Le
And if Prangley wins, I’ll let Campbell and Rachel decide on a new sig for me.
I ain’t scared, homie!
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers-thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."
OooooooooOooOoOoh!!!!
Bonus bet!! I would offer you something if Rua and Le win, but I’ve picked them both!! I’ll offer you one free signature bet in the future, don’t worry!
