    As much as I'm a fan of Lawler, Brown at 4/1 is way overpriced. I rarely gamble though so don't go by me

    They occasionally do but it'll usually be a day or two before that the odds are released and usually only for the biggest fights on the card

    I have an outside double of Brown/Green at 10/1 with a 5er on it, shame Green doesn't have a full camp behind him as he is a serious talent. I also have an accumulator at 5/1 of Bermudez/Siler/Cummings/Jedrejczyk with a 10er on it.

    Made a variety of bets but this one is the most interesting! Dont see why little nog is such an underdog. Sure rumble has looked good, and nog has been off sick. But if Nog can outpoint Rashad he can out point Rumble. And put 11g's in my pocket!

    I thought there would be a heap of non believers against him,Barao was 1/8 in the first fight looks like his supporters have completely desserted him.

    Brian Ortega is supposedly a fantastic unbeaten prospect and the guy he is fighting De La Torre looked like he had a tough weigh cut . The 4/7 on offer for him seems good value .

    Im also sticking with Cruickshank again as I've backed him in his last 2 fights , the one against Koch he was a 19/4 underdog . 9/4 this time around.

    I can't touch Matt Brown at 3/1 - he missed weight quite badly and I think Robbie will finish him in under 2.5 rounds at 7/10.

    Bobby Green vs Thomson is an interesting one - Thomson has been flirting with retirement since the Henderson loss and it's rare that a fighter can reproduce his best form when such thoughts are in his head.
    On the other hand Bobby Green is taking the fight on short notice not long after his brother was shot dead . He is dedicating this fight to the memory of his brother and he looked really pumped up at the weigh ins . Whether he can use that to overcome Thomson remains to be seen but but I'm gonna take a chance on Green at 9/4 to stay undefeated in the Ufc.

    He mussed weight badly?? Exaggerating a bit there.

    He was 1.5 lbs over on his first attempt. He isn't being fined and is eligible for bonuses as the AC messed up and didn't give him a chance to make weight as they should have.
    Basically it's treated as if he made the weight the 2nd time. The fact he didn't need to cut weight for an hour is an advantage for him.

    I said quite badly not badly so it's you that's exaggerating a bit there.To be 1.5lbs overweight in a main event in a number 1 contender fight is inexcusable. He got lucky that the California commission ballsed up.

    Lol, so leaving out the quite made a huge difference. Lmfao
    If he have made the weight after an hour nobody would care.

    Yes it made a difference to the point you made, 1.5 lbs overweight in a main event is missing weight quite badly. You accused me of exaggerating by exaggerating my choice of words. If he made weight in that extra hour nobody like yourself who has nothing to offer gambling wise on my comments would care but to people betting on the event they might . That extra hour he would have had to dig deep to cut that extra 1.5 lbs.

    Not too good on the bets last night! Hometown fighters not performing. Probably the worst Guida I've seen fight. Thompson very poor too.

    Obviously I wouldn't back against McGregor, but I think 6/4 about Poirier is a crazy price. I see this fight as very much a 50/50 fight, maybe even 55/45 in Poirier's favour, purely based on experience. McGregor will definitely shorten, closer to the fight aswell.

    The classic 'never bet against your team' idea was invented by the bookies so that you wouldn't place bets in a situation where you were more educated than the casual gambler.

    A liverpool supporter betting against liverpool isn't going to affect their chances of winning / losing in the slightest. But a strong liverpool supporter might have the knowledge in place (e.g. winning streaks, current form, injuries etc.) all to hand just because they are a fan so will be able to make a more educated guess as to when they are likely to lose.

    Of course if you bet on your team to lose, then you're in the awkward position of watching and not being sure whether you want them to win because you're a fan or lose because you can gain financially. But if you're placing a bet, you should only focus on the money side of things and forget the loyalty as it's not like betting €20 on Dustin Poirier will lower Conor's chances of winning

    I find it strange that you're this passionate about my own personal preference. I think backing against someone you're supporting, is inherently against the whole idea of supporting them. I don't have to have a bet on every fight on the card, so I just won't have a bet on that fight.

    If its the case where I really want the fighter to win, but odds are he won't win, I just bet both ways, for the best of both worlds!

    I'd disagree with that tbh. There's no reason why they have to be inherently linked.
    I support the fighter that I want to win.
    But I'll bet on the fighter I think is profitable.

    The two aren't linked in any way tbh.
    I completely separate betting from my own support of fighters. It's happened where I've bet against who I actually wanted to win.
    But everyone I'd free to have there own views. Some people will bever bet against they guy. Others will always bet on their guy, regardless of the odds.

    Yeah, you completely separate it. I personally probably don't. I like to support who im supporting, backing against McGregor would be weird for me.

    Betting on who you support is betting with your heart, its fine if you are just throwing a bet on to make things interesting and its just a bit of fun.

    For someone who bets a lot though betting with your heart is foolish, betting with your brain is the only way and in that case you would bet against a fighter you like if you thought it was going to win you money. Two different types of gambler I think more so than two different types of supporter.
