For no contest there aren't odds on it as the odds providers (atleast the ones I have bet on those rare matches and had the bets settled with) have voided the bets and gave back the wagered amount.

As for the vegas bouts, here is the next multimaster challenge for you to bet on for Vegas 39:

Ah too bad,,, I bet you a lot of people would start looking those markets if there was any. I try to look in all the markets and most odds are so low still, even to go the distance is not big enough to make it very exciting to bet. I guess it is just because not a lot of betters or money behind it yet.

And I put in my picks already thank you!

Good on getting as many you had correctly picked cause the vegas ones are very unpredicitable.
As you can see from the Kevin Holland fight going no contest. And he did ask for a rematch, so matches like these when something so flukely can happen is really impossible to foresee.
The next UFC event to look forward too is nearly a whole month away with Blachowicz vs Teixeira in Abu dhabi.
Title fights like these are always a long wait away.
So look out for the next one in vegas for the weekends.

What are the odds of a no contest happening in UFC, is this usually something that happens a lot because in tennis also it seems every tournament there is a few walkovers or forfeits.

And more interesting is to see if anyone is an expert at predicting those and if you can actually bet on that outcome Cool

One whole month away is a long time to wait so luckily we have Vegas cards!

Ooh, rdbase picks same as me, I must be doing something right Wink

But nah, I don't think when I make my predictions. I do choose a fair amount of upsets in every selection, and on all the highlight bouts, I am playing a martingale system now of betting on every underdog, every time (and when the odds are too tight to have a favourite, then I go for the one with the worse record). If I lose, I go next round and double down (not the stake, but the amount needed to cover my loss and win a wee bit more than stake, so it's actually not so bad since I bet on underdog).

Betting on the underdog is my favorite thing to do: on the one hand, I'm ready to lose because I know my chances are slim, on the other hand, if I win it's a good win. Only rarely I bet on everyone's favorite for a change.

@betwrong: In regards to picking Shevchenko. Yeah, I usually do pick her. She travels with her sister so just having that inspiration is motivation enough for her to battle it through a fight. During her last fight I watched she was in good form even if facing a younger opponent.. experience does matter as well. Wink

I was right with my betting on Casey O'Neill, but I wasn't so good in my other predictions:

13) Thiago Santos V
12) Kevin Holland - no contest
11) Alex Oliveira X
10) Krzysztof Jotko V
9) Aspen Ladd - cancelled
8 ) Alexander Hernandez V
7) Joe Solecki X
6) Casey O'Neill V
5) Bethe Correia X
4) Devonte Smith X
3) Douglas Silva de Andrade V
2) Shanna Young X
1) Alejandro Perez V

Got only 6 of them right.

Good to see you here leea-1334 and welcome.

Thank you,,, I am seeing myself growing in a lot of new areas of sports. I only played very amateurish on Asian handicap style football,,, which in reality is not even called handicap, just you always take your own team, and then you offer someone else a goal or half goal or something. I am now always looking for new things thanks to all these new Sportsbet support for other sports

Santos split decision, so another fight that went all the way I kept delaying my betting on! And Shevchenko did lose, pretty late in the second half KO/TKO, so nicely done @Betwrong for calling out her age; you even doubled down again, didn't you?

In the end we had 1 draw and 1 fight cancelled so we only had 11 picks to get right. These were the results (loser is struck out):

✓ Thiago Santos ~~- Johnny Walker~~
- Kevin Holland - Kyle Daukaus - DRAW
X ~~Alex Oliveira -~~ Niko Price
✓ ~~Misha Cirkunov~~ - Krzysztof Jotko
- ~~Aspen Ladd - Macy Chiasson~~ CANCELLED
✓ Alexander Hernandez - ~~Mike Breeden~~
X ~~Joe Solecki~~ - Jared Gordon
X ~~Antonina Shevchenko~~ - Casey O'Neill
✓ ~~Bethe Correia~~ - Karol Rosa
✓ ~~Devonte Smith~~ - Jamie Mullarkey
✓ Douglas Silva de Andrade - ~~Gaetano Pirrello~~
✓ Stephanie Egger - ~~Shanna Young~~
✓ Alejandro Perez - ~~Johnny Eduardo~~

Ticks are where I got my picks right! 8 out of 11 ain't bad right?

Yeah, warm welcome leea-1334! You now join me in UFC and baseball (MBL) in participating in discussions for games I've never actually watched fully (UFC I've never seen live and baseball I only see highlight reels).

Not to mention before the Covid season I knew zero about either, but I did enjoy muay Thai tremendously in the past (so long ago I feel scared to think about how old I am) and MMA does remind me a lot about that, although the trash talk is a bit over the top for me.

Please don't be as good with this as you are at MM!

Hey guys, popping inside here to try and learn more about UFC. I never placed a bet yet only participating in the Sportsbet prediction promos,,, which have a high appeal to me as they are like Multimaster except I seriously just place random picks based on odds given!

Who here usually gets all their picks right? Time to learn and follow Wink

Good to see you here leea-1334 and welcome.
The multimaster promo is a good way to get involved in these UFC predictions so to get a feel for each fighter as they usually do fight again a few months in another fight night or main card.
To get all the picks right you do need to be a master at UFC. Grin

And if you do manage to do that well you would win it every week. And you might as well put them down on a 15+ parlay.
It would certainly be a 90x odd monster slip.
The one last weekend for UFC 266 was and I was only off by two picks.
So it possible, you just need to know who the fighters are and how they are days before the fight (injuries).

I see both of you, guys, @buwaytress and @rdbase, are betting on Antonina Shevchenko, and I'm wondering why do think she's going to win?

I mean, she uswed to be a great fighter in the past, but I think beginning this year she has started losing her strength. She's 36 after all. I know they say even 40 is not too old for MMA, but c'mon, being 36 you have slim chances of beating a 23 y.o.

I'm so sure Casey will win, I even placed a bet on her on sportsbet.io, and then placed another one.

Just as long as your in the black then that is all that counts when it comes to betting.
Use whatever system that suits you best cause betting the same way going into events never gives the best results.
For example, if you bet go the distance when you notice the earlier fights of the night are going their full rounds. The later ones sometimes end quick.

Here is the challenge on this weekend's matches for the Santos vs Walker UFC fight night:

Big ouch for me on all fights last night, people. As you said, rdbase, almost all favs won so that itself was strange. One day I'll have to stay up on holiday to watch these live.

Lost all 3 of the highlight bets (Diaz, Murphy, Ortega) and damn, even the Modafferi @bbc.reporter haha. Not a very good omen for me doing the most bets, but I'm still in the black, and my martingale will continue next week on the underdogs;)

Worst, I didn't even take the Daukaus KO/TKO I thought was good value, and he did it in Round 2. Tsk!

UFC 266 ended as one of the greatest cards with the main event having the champ almost losing his title by three submission moves but manage to getting out of them some how. It was like Volkanovski was houdini if you watch it in slow motion.

The other ones it seemed like all the favorites won, which is strange for a main UFC event like this. But it happened.
Only had the very first match on my selections lost and of course the diaz and lawler match. But Nick was the underdog so I thought there would be atleast one upset on the main cards this night. Like usual.

Very exciting all in all and I did manage to watch each and every bout through and through.

Here are my selections for the UFC 266 challenge from the link just above:

Quote from: rdbase on September 23, 2021, 04:42:52 AM

14) Alexander Volkanovski
13) Valentina Shevchenko
12) Nick Diaz
11) Curtis Blaydes
10) Jessica Andrade
9) Merab Dvalishvili
8 ) Dan Hooker
7) Chris Daukaus
6) Taila Santos
5) Jalin Turner
4) Manon Fiorot
3) Nick Maximov
2) Matthew Semelsberger
1) Omar Morales

These cards are getting interesting after the press conference last night.
Especially with the Nick Diaz and Robbie Lawler bout.
It is funny with the response of Diaz after a reporter asked him if he is scared to get back into the octagon from being away for so long. Cheesy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LURge0po7bU

Here is the full press conference (minus the long intermissions inbetween):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qXZOsz7G3A

None of Nicks's responses to questions made me satisfied actually. I don't know what others might think but to me, it looks like he isn't very confident about this fight, unlike Lawler. He isn't like what he used to who can talk trash because he can. Ortega doesn't always talk something of a very confident, just being himself I guess with that smiley face all the time.

Unsure about Lawler vs Diaz, maybe the odds will change tom. but I'm up for Rozenstruik, Shevchenko, and Alexander.

I usually take one selection in my parlay to go the distance. So the pick you made is not bad.
Just watched the weigh-ins (the exiting ones after the official one) and the Diaz fight looks to be the one everyone is waiting for even though it is not a title bout. He came in with his brother Nate. Grin

If you watched their previous fight all momentum was in Nick's favor. He is an unassuming fighter because during his press conference he is pretty low beat and doesn't get involved into all the hype like his opponent Lawler has been.
But that is just his attitude when going into a fight. He does seem like a reckless fighter unlike Diaz.
Who was smooth and cool as a cucumber.

Placed a few bets on Valentina, Alexander the Great and Diaz the silent killer. Cool

Good luck to us on our bets!

Haven't added anything to my main 3 bets and Modafferi which, by itself, is a record 4 matches I've put money down on for a fight week.

Eyeing a Daukaus TKO/KO win at 2.2 as well -- he's done it in 3 previous fights, all in 1st round, while his opponent Abdurakhimov (my pick) has a so-so 5-3 record, so I'm backing form here. Betting against form as a sort of hedge though is also interesting as it's 2.8 but taking this fight to the distance is a nice 2.65. Good?
