The Betting Fix: UFC On Fuel TV - Diego Sanchez vs. Jake Ellenberger
Some people say unnecessary, unabashed, uncontrollable gambling is a disease. I call it a proper Tuesday night! The Betting Fix is here to fix all of your too much money problems, with a special Deluxe Tuesday Edition 2500! Now, doesn't that sound funner than a bag full of puppies?
Ok, fine. You got me. I forgot to post the Betting Fix on time. I thought that UFC on Fuel: Diego Sanchez vs. Jake Ellenberger was going down on Saturday. I blame Zuffa, FOX, and their maddening schedule of channel changes and altering days of the week. It's entirely their fault...yah. That seems like a good excuse....
So to distract you from the lies and propaganda of an addict, lets bust out some free units of betting fixery and slam down our choices for tomorrow's fight card! There are some juicy lines to jump into head first this week. At this point, nobody has smoked their chances of taking home supreme victory and crowning my new signature for the month of March. So bust out your ball of crystal and makes some super tough, life altering decisions.
Rules, regulations, and all the fight odds you can stick inside of a well-seasoned hog are after the jump!
*Extremely Late Edit* So the story goes, Beth was phoning it in this week. Lies and propaganda I say. I'm thinking she deliberately lured us into a position where our guards were down and our wallets were open. Then she struck with precision accuracy. This has been planned for weeks undoubtedly. She killed it, turning her 10 units in 17.5 units. I'd say her twin was in a close second, but let's not lie here. Beth killed it. But even more impressive was Mr. YellowPanda of the Yellow Forest. Dude bet on Stefan Struve AND Dave Herman, and still whooped most of our asses. Now that's just ballah status. You enjoy your 1.25 additional units YellowPanda. You earned them.
Beth: 17.5
Donna: 13.5
Tim Burke: 11.6
YelloPanda: 11.25
Kat: 9.71
Midge: 8.57
Empress: 7.58
Balrog: 7.5
Mountie: 5.61
Harley: 5.61
Everyone Else: Fatty Zero's
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.)

you quick
Do me a favor; let me know when you’re getting up to go to the bathroom so I can sniff your chair.
I’m up semi-late pondering fight picks, so I had to make rash decisions. Figured this was a ripe opportunity!

Midge, I’m taking my 2 off Loeffler since that fight got cancelled since he got injured backstage and putting it on Markes. Not sure if you’ll count it, but I think it should be counted. Anyway, new totals read:
1 on Magalhaes
2 on Watson
3 on Markes
4 on Pee Wee Herman

You guys are awful high on Rocha. I don’t think much of him as an MMA fighter and think Brookins will be able to decision him.
Pretty much same school of thought on Aaron Simpson.

I’m not a fan of Brookins at all, and think he’s gonna get worked.

I don’t disagree that Brookins isn’t great, but I’ll take him over Rocha any day. We shall see though!

God help me, I lusted, and there is a promise in such sweat. But it is a whore's vengeance, and you must see it; I set myself entirely in your hands. I know you must see it now.
That is some ... unique betting strategy there.
Struve AND Herman, at least it guarantees you get 1 winner.

this quote just struck me and made me laugh:
“So bust out your ball of crystal and makes some super tough, life altering decisions.” I’d say busting out a ball of crystal could certainly alter your life!
I know nobody else sees it, but I’m going with Diego by decision. Having trouble with the HW fight though, I like both of those guys and think they match pretty well.
Diego – 5
Herman – 3
Simpson – 2

I didn't like any of the new nicknames I came up with, so this week I'm switching to gifs

Best advice I never heeded: Don't read the bottom of the internet.
very sorry about the delayed scores people!
I literally just worked a 15.75 hour shift. Add 45 minutes commute each way, and four hours sleep and you have my excuse. Nor do I have the brain power decipher balrogs bet. I appreciate you all baring with me til I get a full time assistant starting in march. I promise ill do some math tomorrow!
