I enter this week pretty safe in my martingale conviction from last week, resetting one side for a big Spivak upset (which I also caught at very good odds, 3.20) and doubling down on Brunson for just over 2/1.

Anyone want to share an easy tip (2/1 and above only, please, haha).

My martingale continues and I split it into two matches, picking Gilbert Ubina at 2.5 and Giga Chikadze at a solid 2.0.

And one of them hit indeed (Chikadze), a nice doubler, so I can now safely "reset" my starting wager on the one hand, but then I have to double down yet again as Ubina lost (oops). No worries, I still can withstand 3 more losses on one hand (this is starting to feel like playing two blackjack hands now haha).

That is all it comes down to when we are talking about these fight nights and for the UFC in general.
A gut feeling.
You put your money down on who you imagine will win hoping that pick ends it early and it doesn't come down to a judges decision. Because those can be really askewed from what everybody else has seen watching the exact same fight. Cheesy
In the main event for this weekend I do like Barboza from what I have seen in the past fight from him.
So will go with him on this one. Sorry Buywaytress.

No kidding. Think you also mentioned about going all the way bets and looking for value so yeah I might also do a few if I see main events hit streaks of early fights;)

Have a good feeling at least one should hit! Not from research, naturally. Just pure, unadulterated, gut feeling.

Had a few wins, went the other way with Cannonier as it looked like he could go farther from how his past matches had proven.
Didn't realize before the fight he was on a layoff for so long but so was Madsen tending to his own family problems.
This only shows a heart of a champ to comeback still be in form and to last a full 4 or 5 rounds not losing a tick in their stride.

The biggest highlight of the night was Ignacio Bahamondes KO of Roosevelt Roberts.
With only 5.5 seconds left of the match left he did an amazing spin kick to end the fight. If he didn't do that, he definitely would of lost the fight.

I was surprised he could still see him bleeding from both eyes to land that match ending kick.

That's the first step of my underdog Martingale down the drain ha! Match went all the way though, so it was a close and hard-fought win, as Cannonier admitted. Would have might have gone the other way if even half of Gastelum's early efforts connected but there we have it.

Winner hadn't played for ten months I read... said he was almost broke. Tough lives to lead for these fighters...

You guys bagged good wins?

After last week's break, I'm ready to throw the dice again. Not sure if I mentioned before but going to run out a small bankroll of martingaling on UFC underdogs. I'm able to last a 5-match losing streak, and if I bust, well, it would have been fun.

So in that spirit, have taken Gastelum on a straight ML bet. Just over 2/1 so am a bit disappointed he's not rated less ha ha.

Not too sure if doing a martingale strategy would work for the UFC.
Have never tried if but it you were to try, then it would need to be on selective matches and not on every single match one right after the other.
Where I have found success is betting on the favorites for the match right before the main event and underdogs for the main event.
As you can see this strategy did not for the last UFC. But can be better for the fight nights as the judge's decision usually dictate how those fights go and not how good the fighter actually is.

Kind of expected that as soon as I bet on the underdog, I miss out;) It was just the one bet though, adding my losing streak on UFC but I feel like I'm going to go martingale on UFC underdog, after this, doubling my bets until I win back everything. At this rate and considering max bets, I could probably last another 4 or 5 losing streaks. Easy right?

Lewis is a force of nature in my opinion. If he gets close to you , you can get knock out , if you get close to him you can get K.O too ,so even if Ciryl has the movement and necessary skills to fight all rounds I still can't see him winning tonight. This fight might surprise a lot of us but Dana White really likes Ciryl so yea ...tricky fight after all but I still back up Lewis.

The odds are very attractive too as we're talking around 3.65 odds.
Post fight discussion

The odds on Lewis to win were so enticing that someone bet $6k on him to win from the flashing tweets shown just before and during the fights.
Those odds were just hours before hand from many odds providers.
I got them at 3.90x but that was roughly 5-6 hours before so they were nicer.
But as we all know he got KO'd pretty decisely in the third round.

UFC 265 is this weekend but has changed for one of the title fights late last month.
One of the main cards have withdrawn due to contracting covid. So their fight will be rescheduled at a later date.
Here are the prelims and main cards available to bet on so far:

I think this to and I cannot see why the bookmakers have made the odds be so long in between? I think Hall is the clear favorite and I have him on a parlay with a couple of the preliminary fights. I avoided the other main card fights because they are to close to call imo. 

I can't say why really. Not much of an MMA follower until more recently, but yeah, it could be the age gap. It's not much -- just 6 years -- but being 30 and 36 does make a huge difference, more so than if you're 26 and 20. I know it's the case in football anyway, having been both those ages ha ha, where you hit your absolute peak around 29 and then very quickly decline in your 30s. Probably even more so in an intense 10-minute bout of physical pain deliverance!

Anyway, prelims start midnight my time so I'll be long in dreamland by the time these guys take to the ring. GL all.

Also another older selection Uriah Hall @2.80. I still think the match is more even than the odds provide so I thought let's do it -- get your boosts in early, gentlemen!

Good selections there Buwaytress! Wink

If I am not mistaken it was Uriah Hall who broke his opponent's leg with a check kick.
That was the most brutal ending to a fight I had ever seen and probably his easiest win as he didn't have to do much and from what I remember it was in the first round at the 17th second mark!
So easiest money you can make if you had him as the winner without sweating it having him as a pick. Grin

Thanks for reminder rd;) So, having no luck with the favourites for the past 2 big fight nights, I'm putting my fortunes in with the underdogs on two of the biggest fights on the cards tonight. Not that the odds really mean much when neither are even 3/1;)

So I've got in Rani Yahya @2.08 -- older, shorter, and less reach than his opponent but I'm counting on another submission.

Also another older selection Uriah Hall @2.80. I still think the match is more even than the odds provide so I thought let's do it -- get your boosts in early, gentlemen!
