In MMA I’ve seen multiple guys make a living off of it and hitting a career 66-67% hit rate. For MMA, easier to predict one vs one, than a team game where you have to factor a ton of guys. Imo it’s the worst sport to bet on. Ridiculous high odds in majority of the fights. Cant use any historical data from previous fights. Like any form of fighting anything can happen with a single punch. Judging is awful when it does go the distance. With a team sport like basketball of football I can use my model that I spent years of putting data into to give me the insight on an edge. I’m sure there are people out there who have success with it but it ain’t worth it for me. I view the UFC as the ultimate guessing game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure there are people out there who have success with it but it ain’t worth it for me. I view the UFC as the ultimate guessing game. To each their own. I’ve had way more success with MMA than any sport for sure. Just gotta pick your shots. Tonight for example I slapped a couple bills on Tavares and stayed away from every other fight. If McGregor was -150 I would of put money on him but at -280 hell no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scalamania Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 24 minutes ago, BayRaider said: Disagree. He either needs to fight three times a year or retire. He keeps fighting once a year which puts him at a significant disadvantage. If he can’t commit to fighting, then he should indeed retire. Being rich changes certain people, and I’m not sure his heart is into fighting anymore. He seems to love being a businessman these days. Fighting three times a year or fighting one time a year doesn't change what McGregor is. He's 100% a boxer, he has no answer for a takedown or a leg kick - he's a mouthpiece and a damn good one but he's not a top level MMA fighter.

beekay414 Posted January 24, 2021 Author Share Posted January 24, 2021 Conor should honestly go to boxing full-time. He really has nothing left to accomplish in MMA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone was capable of doing it, it was him. That's why I picked him in my pick'em. You don't just come back from a year off and out box Dustin Poirier. Once those calf kicks started landing consistently, I knew Conor was ****ed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know you and I'm new to this thread but this is sad. There's no way that someone you've never met and/or have no relationship with losing a fight is the worst moment of your life.
