UFC 276 has the attention this weekend for all who watch MMA as this is the most stacked card to date in the UFC.
Championship titles on the line and also up and comers who want a shot at the title are also fighting for a chance.

Here is you chance to win some prizes for putting your selections on who you think will win their bouts in this star studded event:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--5404386

Could be worth another strategy to multibet since so much is on the line for a lot of the matches. I might go for multibet of 3 or 4 main favorites (but not heavy ones), one more multibet of 3 main must-win matches, and 3 separate singles on upsets.

$5 USDT on each so $15 USDT, for a small weekend of entertainment Wink
Maybe put a multibet on 3 favorites and 1 underdog. Because usually there is atleast one who sneaks in a win against a heavy favorite in every one of these main events.
If they didn't then vegas would be paying out everyone huge winnings each and every weekend for these UFC events.

Watching the press conference and Cannonier is my heavy underdog to win. He is 4.60x last time I checked the odds on him earlier in the day. Those will definitely change closer to when the fight happens.
Tomorrow are the weigh-ins so will see if anyone misses weight again. Of course I doubt they will have any strange things happen like losing a belt or something weird like that.
From all these press conferences and interviews before the fights, Strickland is just the worst and I hope Alex knocks him out early because he is the loudest mouth and has said the dumbest things so far. Where even the one who isn't even fighting got into an argument with him on stage (Adesanya).

It is all hype to get people to pay for those PPVs to watch it all go down on Saturday night.
We all know the drill.

Thanks! Was actually a late bet last night, popped it in shortly before lights out, was actually rdbase who suggested the opener, backtracking from a post from Welsh on another thread. If your luck is bad and your bets worse, could be refreshing to get perspective from others every now and then.

Gamrot was an upset yeah, fight reports suggested he was a little under water in the first 2 rounds from the Armenian but recovered for takedowns and points in the final.

Only 3 KOs I counted, after a bout of so many!

True, and not true,,, at least for me it still works as badly as when I make my own picks. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not, and generally better when I have no personal affiliation for the team/person I am betting on. It is really weird that when you think you know more about the sport, you can make unnatural decisions.

Anyway, yes I think the younger fighter was very very upset with the late loss to Gamrot, he will be hopefully less favored by the odds in next game, but as a result, a value pick to win.
It is true. He is only 25 years old so he has alot to learn and go thru in the octagon I will have to agree with you.
Gamrot knew when to score the points to bring the match into his favor and in the judges eyes when it was all said and done.
That is where being the more experienced fighter helps out the most to win a fight.

Well done indeed buwaytress!
The first and last matches of the night were upsets which seem to be a theme in these fights in vegas, to me atleast.
I like to put larger wagers on the main events which is why I will put my bets on the favorites in the next for this first weekend in July to kick it off.

They even put the countdown for UFC 276 before the fight night had started yesterday:

Wow buway, well done on the win, you even got it boosted to over 3x,,, pretty sure when I looked at it during my predictions this was only 2.5x (with boost 2.6). Odds kept going higher I guess like most fights when people bet more and more on the favorite so it could actually pay to look at the odds as soon as they come out, and note them down and take them when they rise up like this fight.

Fight even finished in R3, but I think the main upset was Gamrot right? The odds were even a bit higher for Gamrot I believe 2.9x when I looked.

Quoting a post from other UFC thread as I wanted to see if anyone on Sportsbet got an eye Wink

Would like to get someone to weigh in on underdogs too, can't even really make up my mind reviewing past fights (think even highlights harm guys like me as it doesn't give an accurate picture of entire performance).

Alternatively, give me your "Sure Bet" so I can bet against it Wink

For now, the opener's smelling real good:

Also, if you could double down on a underdog, who would be your pick?

The reason I ask is; I'm looking to put a higher amount down this weekend, but only include 3-4 fights. I won't be betting just on wins though, thinking of during by round, and method. Unless, its a decision.

Actually only bet on the main card fights and those came in hot with some solid wins on single bets.
The main event saw alot of people lose with a strange scorecard from the three judges seeing Emmitt edging out Kattar for the victory.
Luckily where I placed my bet had a split decision money-back promotion so had it basically even money for my bet on this main card bout.
Over all an impressive fight night since as you had mentioned alot of matches ended early with knock outs and indeed probably a record.

Can not wait for next month's UFC main event as the promotional videos have already started coming out yesterday for it:

One strategy could be to pick against all the favorites though, and you only need one or two of the big upsets here to make money from the whole thing. Actually I might try that with $1 on all of them Wink
Yes good strategy on betting for these UFC fight nights.
Usually there are a few upsets and the heavy underdog has a good opportunity to win their bout against a heavy sided favorite.
But a good tip I always do is: Bet on the other markets when in doubt.
Such as Will the fight go the distance or over and under rounds for you selections.

I forgot to place my bets for this one actually,,, I had quite a number of freebets won from prediction contest (the NBA Finals one) so for a first time I believe I actually won a bet AND freebet betting on the underdog there!!

Last night seems there was a new record for KOs in a card too,,, from what I read on the news,,, that itself is quite another strategy, to bet on/against KOs in all the fights.

Did anyone make money last night? Wink

Yes @leea-1334 UFC seems to be picking up the pace during the summer time now is upon us. Marketing is their only route so their fan-base is to aware when and who the next contenders will face off in the octagon.

UFC ESPN 37 is on this weekend and here is your chance to put in your picks for the next round of the multimaster challenge sponsored by Sportsbet.io:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/sportsbetio-ufc-on-espn-37-multi-master-challenge-saturday-5402605

Good luck to everyone who decides to participate in this one!

Already done yesterday and thanks for the reminder,,, I saw a LOT of heavy favorites in the selections though (based on the odds given by Sportsbet) so I only made my mind up for about 5 of the matches and went everywhere else with the favorite.

@leea-1334 It was the best UFC event ever I think and even Chael Sonnen a former fighter from Bad Guy Inc was saying that main event was the greatest he had ever seen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Plxs7RS86Og

Micheal Bisping was mentioning about how they were all great fights from start to finish:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRT5U61hyw4
Joanna retired from the UFC and at the end of the fight she laid her gloves down on the ring floor to show this as her last fight.
She has been fighting for the past 20 years. She must of started really young in her teens because she doesn't look that old.
But she was a character as you can see from those face-offs you posted the link too.
Here is the youtube video of all the post-fight interviews having the fighters answering questions about how they felt on how it all went down:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaePaBHIT38

As for the new light heavyweight champion Jiri, I liked his response to how he handled the fight and what happened in the ring for him to finish it very late like that:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5n36KyxNnEA


Yes, it seemed like it turned out to be such a big event, funny that as I said maybe here or somewhere else my local news is not covering it much but after the fight, I saw most papers showed photos from the event.

I guess sometimes marketing fails to reach us here.

Joanna is so amazing half her life fighting but I do see the effects on her face and body, it must be such a torture despite looking like having a fit body. Not so much how old she looks I agree she looks pretty good but the facial injuries you can see.

Amazing days!

I got just 4 out of 12 picks right in the end (in the prediction contest from SB), though I think at least 2 of the games were cancelled? Not sure why or if true, only got my Google guide to help me out.

And yeah nice pick on Zhang, that was my initial idea too, backing all the East Asians, but changed my mind, to my detriment.

Seems like my Texeira pick was on his way to winning with half a minute left, falling to a Czech submission. Well done whoever picked Jiri.
Alot of people were on Jiri since he was the favorite in the match to win.
I won on him and someone had him to win by submission @27x from the site I was on while placing my bets.
Watching a youtube livestream just a little while ago they showed two betslip people posted up on twitter and they both picked him to submit in the 5th round at a whooping 401x! They placed 2 pounds and received 802 pounds. That was an really amazing wins!


About the venue: It was good for the East asian fighters being in Singapore and all it boosted their mentality to do well and succeed infront of their crowd. This is always something to consider when placing your bets on certain bouts.

^I saw some picture posted online with the two of them showing their faces so battered looking,,, but trying to smile, and the loser congratulating the winner very well. That is real sportsmanship man versus man and win or lose,,, respect.

Some sports people get so tight on losing or even on winning they just cannot congratulate the better opponent.

Also rdbase I read Joanna retired, tribute faceoff Smiley https://youtu.be/TrYVPh8X9GA

^rdbase Hehe no no I meant when I said that about where the location of the matches were. I work in Singapore currently (but unfortunately,,, not the glitzy parts and more like closer to the other big neighbor) and still do not know the areas so well myself BUT somehow did not even realize the matches for this weekend were here Smiley

I always check Sportsbet threads for sure,,,

Anyway Valentina won but round 5 so went that far and great job about your Zhang pick!
