The main problem with going pro imo is that you don't know when the books are going to hit you and limit your bets. That's a problem

Already happened to me to one degree or the other on 3 books but I have Pinnacle who supposedly doesn't do that. At least that's a big point in their marketing.
Also player's exchange markets like Betfair will never limit their players because they match player vs player and take a comission on the winning side rather than playing against the players so they want as many players and bets as possible.

I think Betfair is the only player's exchange operating with a swedish gambling license but I'm hoping there will be more of them in the coming years.

What does Colby Covington have on Dana White to keep getting undeserved title shots?

I guess Colby has a good agent who negotiated a title shot if Leon won if Colby showed up and made weight.

tepid55   He also made that very clear. They asked Dana several times and Dana keeps saying that Colby will 100% get the title shot. I agree that it's undeserved. They should do Colby vs Belal and Shavkat against the winner of Burns vs Masvidal.

Good tips to avoid it are to rotate to a different bookie each week if you can, place smaller bets on ridiculous parlays from time to time, avoid depositing and withdrawing too often. 

Smarkets is another good exchange like betfair.

And now Dana said that they are working on Belal vs Shavkat. Belal can't catch a break🤣

The UFC should book Colby Covington vs Conor McGregor in a "loser must retire forever match".

This is going to be a very interesting time. Edwards just mentioned at the presser that Colby does not deserve to get a title shot, because he has been waiting out and hasn't been fighting for 18 months or so.

Leon will dominate Colby the same way he dominated Usman.

Should be Leon vs Burns next after Masvidal gets smoked. A win over Wonderboy, Magny and Masvidal with a close loss to Khamzat is worth more than a single win over Masvidal a year ago. Name a better duo than Cormier on commentary and Cormiers friend in the fight, I mean far out, Leon pretty clearly got that 48-46, but Cormier kept going "I dont know whos gonna win! It's anyones' fight!"

Gaethje Fiziev was a banger, gave it to Fiziev. In my amateur muay thai experience, undefended body shots and knees are worth more than hooks that sorta land / sorta hit the guard. But it was not a robbery by any means, easily one of the best names on Gaethjes record and that third round was very impressive. Poirier Gaethje 2 and Fiziev Gamrot both sound like amazing match ups. 

Don't know what the commentary team was smoking during Vettori Dolidze. Easily rounds 1 and 2 to Vettori. Cannonier match up is probably next, and Brendan Allen for Dolidze.

Colby is the biggest active draw in the business right now. Love him or love to hate him he's the only mfer outside Mcgregor who knows how to market himself and sell a fight. It would be mental if Leon didn't take Colby next.
