The Betting Fix - UFC on Fox 2: Rashad Evans vs. Phil Davis Fight Lines and Betting Odds

There has been a lot of betting going down in the past few days, my friends. I thought we were a group of degenerate gambling scum on Monday, but by Thursday Zuffa has put a whole new meaning into the word "gambling". Earlier in the week Mr. Lorenzo Fertitta put out a public letter to Congress supporting SOPA (for those of you unfamiliar with the bill, you shame your family. It is the crap legislation that is trying to be passed that would give the government the power to take down any site on the internet within America. Ya know, like Communist China, N. Korea, and Myanmar/Burma roll. Protect your freedom. Educate yourself).

Now, we can all understand where Mr. Fertitta is coming from. Afterall, if the goverment can shut down domains with a strike of a finger, he could get all those illegal UFC streamers taken down! More money for the UFC and Lorenzo. I get it. so he rolled the dice, hoped for the best, and went on his marry way. Not much of a gamble right?

Wrong! Who do you think hates SOPA more than anyone in the world? The Internet saavy youth. Who is the saaviest of the saavy? The hackers. So in response, we have a friendly group of activists hack UFC.com and redirect it to a warning page with some odd Hitler with girly eyes picture (Google it kiddies).

End game, right? Zuffa lost their bet, and walked away from the situation, right? Wrong. Dana White followed up the warning with some standard F-Bombs and lingo we usually see used against his MMA competitors. The dude went "Lorenzo lost the bet... maybe I should just put it all on number 27 and let it fly". Now that's some ballsy ballery right there.

Sadly for Dana, the wheel landed on number "You're Screwed" and the hackery continued, this time releasing all of his personal information. You name it. Phone numbers, addresses, criminal history, SSN- the whole nine yards. The dude rolled the dice, and the dice landed on a number that wasn't even on the board.

So now we get to see if Zuffa cuts their loses and goes home, or if they hit the ATM to throw down again like a true degenerate gamblers that we have come to know and love! How exciting!

Although our Betting Fix hardly has so much to lose this week as Zuffa does, we have oh so much more to gain! this week is the FINAL Betting Fix for the month! On Sunday, monthly totals shall be tallied, and a winner shall be announced. A winner who gets to choose my signature for the month of February. Now, don't be dissapointed that February is the calendar's special needs month with it's weak 28 day cycle. We threw in a 29th day this year just for you!

So join us after the jump, and get that bet on!

*Sunday "Morning" Edit*

The numbers are in, and we have some winners. We also have some losers, but I went ahead and left them off the list here. You have no units, why rub it in? That was a hypothetical question kiddies, no need to answer. This week we have our very own Mountaineers winning it all, turning his 10 units into a whopping 17.14 units! Weidman was a good choice. A few of us, including myself, might reconsider betting against him when fighting a top level MW on short notice with 10 days to lose 30+ pounds. Good job Mountaineers! You picked a better one man choice than Harley and Rollo. You get a cookie.

Mountaineer: 17.14
Harley: 15.26
Rollo: 12.86
Balrog: 10.29
Beth: 8.01
Empress: 6.21
Midge: 3.05

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.)
