Would if I could!! That's why I like the +lines cause I can make the most of my bankroll. 90% chance ( in my head) is still 10% to lose it all and let me tell you, I've gone all in a few more times than I shouldve. Just take a look at this week's football. 8 underdogs not only covered the spread but won.... but there is plenty of time until the fight so I'll let you know if I come up big and raise the bankroll to make a bigger bet. Until then :/

90% confidence???? I don't think I have been that confident on any sports bet.

You should be giving me big odds.

You cant make a bigger bet if the line moves under even money. However If RR remains a favorite you can load up at even money. beans and rice for the young one.

Holm endorses Intel-Pharma, a company that advertises banned substances, and they congratulated her on their home page.

Holm-Intel Pharma

This is Holm getting slaughtered a few years ago by Mathis.

Go to 3:20 for the near death experience.

Much more developed today.

Must have been eating her Wheaties.

Wow, that was the shitiest boxing referee ever seen, letting the match continuing when obviously one of the fighters is not able to defend them self anymore .

That Holm girl is one tough girl hmm. Starting to like her even more.

I've been watching boxing and mma for 35+ years. That is probably the worst job of refereeing I've ever seen. She was out cold stuck in the ring rope. How does anyone pull her out of the ropes and tell her to keep fighting? What a disgrace.

Girl?

This is an article that questions whether Holm is on steroids.

Click and enlarge the photo at the bottom of This Page

Then compare her to the other women in the photo.

It takes balls to fight Rousey.

Well written. Very nice info. Even at the time of the fight on william hill it was +900 with "win by tko " at +1700... if you cared at all.

We need some insight on the Aldo vs. McGregor fight this weekend. It seems the Irish fans are disrupting airline flights, drunk already. I guess Irish and "drunk" is sort of the same word, but a flight from New York was turned back last night due to brawls onboard. Drunken Irish, this is why I'd like to see Aldo win, but Colin is also good.

Latest odds I saw were MCgregor - 135, Aldo even money. Once again, UFC has unfair 30(35?) cent lines. You have to be sure to wager on it.

Looks like there won't be a rematch, I heard she is probably retiring. If we go by RR's match last night you probably would have won. I kind of think Holmes would have been the favorite to win.

FYI, if anyone goes back and reads this or other threads, I think I gave Pinit2win it a snarky time regarding his gambling theories or whatever.

I would like to say I have meet and done stuff with him many times since and currently. IMO he is a really cool, solid, hard working family guy.
His time is limited (dam wife, work and rug-rats) but I look forward to getting to know him better and doing more stuff with him.

Rousey got beaten badly again. Her arrogance and overconfident mannerism in the past when she easily dominated her opponents, mainly by grappling, while never experiencing the bitter disappointment of losing, has now turned into more humble, even intimidated behavior. She seems to lack mental toughness, but has abundance of narcissism. Having fall pray for good strikers twice in a row now, she just might not be the greatest women's champion she proclaimed herself an year or so ago.

Connor McGregor refused to do press interviews and Dana White took him off the UFC 200 card. Roussey hasn't done them and White bends over backwards making excuses for her. She suffered two horrible losses. Time to wake up and recognise her for the one dimensional fighter she is. She had eighteen months to work on her striking and learn to counter punch and did shit.
Time to either retire or get a new coach.

I really dont think she wanted to fight. She did manage to earn $3 million for 60 seconds and realized this would be her last big payday.
At my age, a "Life In Prison" sentence is not much of a deterrent.

I'd say she really wanted to fight and win but she was trained by an idiot. Even her mother knew this guy was a loser and that's why she spoke out about it before she lost to Holm - she had a horrible game plan which consisted of trying to walk through punches and get the clinch.

She has no ability to handle losing, that's why she didn't return to the Olympics after she got the bronze. I wish Ronda would go to a real training camp and devote herself to the sport but that doesn't seem to be in the cards. She could still be great for the sport

48 seconds for that $3 million

works out to a hourly rate of $225 MILLION

I think there is value in bridge jumping tonight. Amanda Nunes is "only" -650 against Felicia Spencer. I give the challenger less than 10% chance to win. I've watched them both fight. To me, they are not even in the same league. The underdog is + 475. Of course Buster Douglas beat Tyson, but this looks to me like as much of a "lock" as there can be in a one on one fight. My $65,000 to win $10,000.

The William Hill book took a 1 million dollar bet on Nunes to win 166k.

To be fair, IMO, Douglas beat Tyson because that fight was in Japan and the crowd was dead - and, apparently, Tyson needs to feed off of the crowd.

Still, when you mention bridge jumping, it reminded me of a bet I touted somewhere else about a year ago:

-365 that any of Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, Ohio State, Oklahoma, or Michigan would win the CFP football championship.

Look how well that went.

It’s been -650/+475 at my book pretty much all day

Usually it moves as the fight time gets closer.

I was teasing. I rarely bet on such things. But I do believe that the UFC and their paid announcers were disingenuous as they were hyping this fight. I truly believe that no MMA expert would even give Spencer a better than 'miracle' chance to win the fight, unless it was for adding interest to the obvious mismatch. Just watch both of them fight the same opponent.... Cyborg... and you will know what I mean.
I wonder what is next for Nunes? There really seems to be no fight for her......

She has offers on the table from both the WWE and AEW that could be worth seven figures whenever she chooses to leave the UFC.

Good for her. But bad for MMA lovers. I hope she stays and defends until someone comes along that is on her level. Women's MMA is nowhere near as deep in talent as men's MMA.

She could leave for a year or so while they build up a couple of contenders, make herself some real money in wrestling and then come back for a big fight.

WWE may no longer be interested in re-signing her. She has been very critical of the company's women's division in recent months and WWE has been in cost cutting mode since March.

AEW's women's division is rather weak in terms of star power and I doubt Rhonda would play well with others in that environment. Plus they just blew a bunch of money on Mike Tyson and it's not panning out as planned.

Amanda Nunes is a different person than Ronda Rousey.

I thought Rousey transitioned perfectly to faux wrestling.
