Your Official UFC 211 Bets

Boys and girls, do not chase. Very unhealthy. Plan B = Branch.

Everytime I put a bet down pre-fight, not so good. Man, this will only make me more superstitious.
 
I got emotional after Yair got totally wrecked. Put more money on Maia. End of first Round I was freaking out. Thankfully he came back. Overall profit of $85. I'm happy with it. If Holloway spanks Aldo I'll be even happier. But very happy at least the judging was right. That would have been a god damn shame if they stole that victory. Getting the back should be worth points. It's not just a submission attempt. It's utter dominance.
 
a night to forget for me, brutal main card.

Think I'm finally set for now unless lines shift or I add more of the later props. Definitely think this will be the card that finally forces me to sit down at look at my betting structures, since the way I bet JJ and Maia is just downright stupid for this card. Gonna put some of the blame on boredom/degen instincts and putting down a stupid 2u RR weeks ago during the withdrawal period of no cards, but I definitely cost myself money with poor betting structure. Regardless, here are my plays.

3.1u Maia +110 + 3.41u
0.66u Maia SUB/ITD +380 (So much line movement) -.66u
2u Edgar -130 +1.54u
2u JJ -155 +1.3u

1u Poirier EVs
0.33u Poirier ITD +240

1.33u Stipe -120 +1.1u
1u Christensen +240 -1u
1.8u Christensen ITD +542 (movement) -1.8u
2u Jotko -145 -2u
0.6u Jotko DEC +165 -0.6u

1.33u Knight +110 +1.463u
0.4u Knight DEC +265 -0.4u
1u Sherman ITD +143 +1.43u
0.33u Pettis DEC +580
0.66u Polo Reyes +305 (Think the line is still moving up so haven't booked yet) -0.66u
1.25u Sherman/Coulter u1.5 -125 -1.25u
0.07u Maia/Masvidal DRAW -.07u
0.33u Benitez ML + Jotko/Branch o2.5 + Sherman/Coulter u1.5 + Knight ml +600 (Another boredom play I actually don't remember making) -0.33u


And now the stupid RR and subsequent stupid hedges that I made because of it. Just outright bad.

RR'd in 2-4 legs: Maia SUB + JJ DEC + Edgar DEC + Cejudo/Pettis GTD. Total risk 2.2u to win ~17.5u. 11u. -2.2u

Dumb Hedges
1u Maia DEC +354 (More line movement) +3.54u
1u Yair DEC +271 -1u
1.25u Andrade NSC -125
0.33u Andrade TKO/KO +515 -.33u
0.33u Andrade DEC +380 -.33u
0.33u JJ ITD +349 -.33u
0.66u Christensen DEC +650 (Kind of forced this on myself with the movement, should just be ML, I'm dumb) -.66u

Aaaand a lotto RR in 2-5 team parlays. Christensen TKO/KO + Stipe DEC + Pettis DEC + Polo KO/TKO + Maia ITD
. Total risk: 1u to win 867.8u 253u. Planned on it being Christensen DEC but the TKO line was just way too good, so that could be tilting. -1u

TLDR: Total risk is about 30 Units. Way too many. I'm also effectively 7u deep on Maia without a hedge, so will likely look to change that. 2nd biggest play is Joachim Christensen. Oh boy.

Gonna be a wild one

EDIT: Damn Cejudo's hand. Lot of weird plays now.

Added a second lotto out of tilt from the cancellation; makes no sense.

RR in 3s and 5: Christensen TKO/KO + Stipe DEC + Polo KO/TKO + Maia ITD + Knight R3. -.33u Risk: 0.33u to win around 833u

Actually finished down like .8u despite being 6-3 on straights. Like I predicted though, definitely the time where I really take a look at my betting structure. Waaay too hard on Christensen, and cost myself a lot of money with my stupid parlays and prop hedging. For the next card I'll be practicing more restraint, and limiting myself to straight bets and maybe a lotto. Will also concentrate more on my sizing of props since this was still only my second card with access to them.

All in all, great card to watch. I was able to pull in like 3u livebetting, so I'll consider it a slightly profitable learning experience. No regrets on Jotko, the heavyweight under, and the Polo stab, but definitely regret the parlays, dumb prop hedging, and how hard I went on Christensen.

Hope everyone else actually made money on their correct picks, haha.
 
$1500 bet on Alvarez returned after NC

$1000 rolled over to JJ for $500 return

$350 to JDS for $500 (loss)

All in all ended +$150 for the night
 
Still bummed the Eddie fight went to shit. Was starting to feel good about Eddie Dec @ +550 as the momentum was shifting

Main profit was singles on Maia/Edgar/Branch and a parlay with the 3. Up about 8u overall. Was sweating bullets as Masvidal was landing those leg kicks and Maia was shooting naked shots.

Goofed a couple cheap lotto tickets and a $3 entry on DK (Barzola over Maia would've been 2 grand. Such is life):

had a lot of big bets for me going in here, very pleased w/the result.

should've made more on stipe/frankie. especially frankie.
 
I was at a concert tonight so I couldn't watch live and wasn't home to post my preflight plays but here they are:

1.67u - Maia Sub +225
0.75u - Masdival KO/TKO/DQ +225


Parlays

0.83u to win 5.38u - Poirier/Cejudo/Edgar/Maia (won 1.94u)
2.33u to win 16u - Maia/Andrade/Miocic (lost 2.33u)

I'm looking forward to watching this card tomorrow when I wake up. Should have just put the OVER or fight goes to DEC in the 3 leg parlay for the WMMA fight but I didn't have a lot of time to place it and I had to do it on my phone.

Hope everyone had a good night and won some money

I fell into a little bit of mania after opening an account at 5dimes and got all those props to fool around with. Acting on vaguely rationalized premonition that Maia will get a sub in round 2 seems quite odd in retrospect especially as Maia by sub was 2.8 back then. I should have used slightly smaller bets, because I'm only trying to learn how to find value on props. I'm mostly happy with Ml-lineup. Reyes feels like best line and Poirier and Maia at 2+ have value for sure. I only regret getting involved with Stipe line. JDS at 2.5+ seem like a great deal at hindsight. Most of the undercards bets are copy-paste.

Edit. Last additions:

JDS R4/R5 á5 e @19.0/26.0
Sherman ML 0.5u @1.98
Knight - Skelly draw 0.01u @55.0

Parlays:
Skelly / Reyes 0.1u @7.3
Reyes / Maya dec 0.05u @18.75
Reyes-Jotko/Branch O2.5/Texeira parlay 0.1u @14.0
Skelly / JDS / Edgar 0.1u @7.6

Alvarez's illegal knees cost me 4u and my first losing semipro event. After live bets (Branch + Knight=1u) my total loss is slightly less than 1u (ROI -5%). I know I should not bet heavy on technical analysis (because I suck at that and only see what I want to see) and yet I had 2u on both Reyes and Rodriquez.

I lost all my parlays, but I think I figured a way to use then effectively as insurance. Betting small against my own picks on lines that have risen in value serves as an insurance. I should have done couple more like Skelly - JDS - Edgar instead of spamming Reyes, which I thought was the best value line, but in which I already had invested in.

Edit. I also lost all every prop bet I came up by myself. How about that...

Slightly disappointed with the result based on how I feel like I capped the card. But I'll definitely take any win with how this year has gone for me so far. This was actually my best night of the year up to this point (kinda sad lol), but it puts me back to almost exactly even overall. Hopefully the rest of the year will treat me better. It was sad to see the Eddie vs DP fight end the way it did. Awesome fight and it looked like Eddie had the momentum. Congrats to all the winners.
