Gals Guide to MMA Betting Fix: UFC 130 Fight Lines

You may not know, but there is a pandemic in America that is about to become an epidemic. I assume the difference between a pandemic and an epidemic is the "epic". Yes an epic demic. This is no ordinary pan demic (which I assume has something to do with bread).

People- be worried. Alligators have infested the borders of Minnesota. Their forces have been aligned perfectly with the imaginary lines produced by society... for now. The Dakotas are safe....for now. 

I hear your frantic concerns. "But how could Gators survive the frigid landscape that is the Sota borders, my beautiful little man???" The answer is simple- robotics. Not to mention the fact that dead alligators don't need the swamp. That's right people! There's a pandemic of robotic zombie alligators out there, and they are gonna getcha! Just ask faithful GG2MMA read RachelofHearts. She fought off a congregation of these unholy beasts but a fortnight ago using nothing but a spork and her laser vision eyeballs.

Once again, I hear your frantic concerns. "Thank you so much for the warning! But what does this have to do with betting on MMA??? And is there even time to bet?" People, this has EVERYTHING to do with MMA. People often call those who collect our losses "loan sharks" but in reality this is just wordplay put on by the man. Lies and propaganda. Anyone in the in knows that robotic zombie alligators reap the benefits of our betting mistakes.

The only way to save Sota and most likely the rest of the Western Hemisphere is simple- bet. Bet bet bet like you've never bet before....wait...scratch that. Bet like you know what you are doing! Together we can bankrupt "loan sharks"and take back Sunday! (and Monday-Saturday too I suppose).

So prepare yourself. Fight Lines are after the jump.

Star-divide

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.)

all ten units on torres

Anderson Silva would never fight "Bones". He is too scared to fight the real P4P champion. Nick Diaz, the man who will prove to the MMA world that he is the best WW in the world. Still public enemy #1 and enjoying every minute of it.

only a -115 too.

ha, way to throw it away. might as well put it all on Frank Mir.

All ten units on the Horror for me!!!

This night is gonna be full of upsets. Ricky, Mighty mouse, Hamill, Struve and Boetch. Browne simply sucks. Kendall and Santiago have no chins and they’re fighting power hitters. Rampage doesnt care about MMA. Mighty mouse has beyond lighting quick takedowns and speed so he’ll get in on the inside of torres like the homie Joe bandanaz and Ricky – he’s gonna be best young fighter of 2011 if Michael McDonal isnt by the end of the year.

It's like Roy said in the countdown - "Sometimes you just gotta go in there and punch him"

That’s the best strategy against Mir. He’ll fold after the first punch.

mighty mouse will be champ one day

Of the 125 division.

Id say ian mccall has looked best of all the guys fighting at 125 though. He’s got that dominick cruz thing goin. But demetrius johnson I think is the best guy who could make 125 (that I’m aware could cut it)

I am rooting for him to be champ, definitely top 5. But other bantams will drop down too.

I think Renan Barao will also cut to 125. Usually the best flyweights will be great bantamweights. Much like the best bantams are great feathers etc…Pantoja, McCall, dodson, Silva, Vila – guys from this 2nd generation of flyweights will probably dominate the early going until the division. They’ll wipe the current crop of flyweights out (your bjs, mamorus, mikis) of the world until the UFC establishes and develops the division aka all the bantamweights start dropping down.

word is...

A tuf will set up the flyweight division. Even in mccalls last fight against ortiz, the announcers were sayin how this performance basically guaranteed that mccall will get the call for tuf.

It would be smart. Great exciting fights and TOP talent. Bring in all the outside talent. Do a 16 man tourney. Then bring over 10, sign a few japanese lil guys, a few drop weight. Blam. You have a division.

2 on Alves
1 on Boetsch

I have to have set some kind of record.

The last 4 or 5 of these things I’ve called every single one of the fights wrong. I’m done with this game and dooming my favorite fighters into failing because I bet fake money on them. I am done. I’m calling my retirement from prediction fights right now and I’m not coming back like Jordan.

the numbers are in!

And the numbers aren’t good! For everyone except rollo and nnr of course haha.

Luckily rachel dispatched of the gators using her trust spork handed down for generations before she went suicidal on us. Luckily, you can beat the addition! And we shall all theoretically lose once again.

I came in with a big 10 despite 4 different choices. Donna, beth, rach, wolfs all busted out too. Katgirl came out strong for her first best with -4.42 (I’m grading on a curve). Jackie only go -.65 and dubs -.6 (even though I nearly marked her at -72 instead of doing the math).

Rollo popped positive with 6.9 units of winning. NNR was right behind him with 6.5. Our two winners. They’ll buy the first drink if you have D cups.
