The Betting Fix - UFC 142: Jose Aldo vs. Chad Mendes Fight Lines

UFC: Rio (no, not that UFC: Rio. That UFC: Rio) is upon us, along with it's inevitable Brazilian cheers of "You're gonna die!". Most unexpectedly though, this particular UFC: Rio comes with an extra 12 pounds of Fatty McFats. That's a lot of Fatisciousness. If there were betting lines on whether or not Anthony Johnson was going to make weight, I'd be quite wealthy. But coming in at 197 pounds for your 185 debut? Not even last week's Betting Fix winner (the lovely Beth) could have predicted that!

Although we are devoid of "how fat will Anthony Johnson be" betting lines, we do have a sweet night of MMA glory lined up with a plethora of hypothetical money to be made! So come join us as we try to catch up to Beth in the race to make my signature and to win a super special prize! (Hint- you can wear it, but it's not illegal!)

Fight Lines are rules to how to bet/play are after the jump!

*Sunday Morning Edit*

The numbers are in! Not many of us played, but I'll contribute this to me not posting the Betting Fix til maybe 3:00am. Hey, I got distracted by something shiny. Sue me....actually, don't sue me. Please.

Balrog came in with the smart gameplan this week, playing it safe and taking home an extra two units. Dude walked away with 12 units and the win, which also brought him one step closer to winning this month's contest! Our monthly total looks like this...

Balrog: 12
Beth: 10.56
Rachel: 8.85
Belfort: 7.08
Midge: 3.54

Your name not on that list? It's cuz you lost every unit you've been given this month. Don't feel bad, I think there's a phone number you can call.

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.)
