Is there going to be more than 11 fights on this card? Obviously, the TUF bantamweight championship is going to be on here, but I'm assuming that Roosevelt Roberts, Jason Knight, and Valiev are probably getting fights too

I never go hard in the paint on a fight unlike some people that tell others to bet the house on their "lock" of the night. Then lose that bet half the time. Can't afford to lose bets half the time if you're always going all in on a favorite.

It would be a shame if the UFC don't re-sign Valiev after he got his win stolen on TUF. He never should have been cut to begin with.

@DamienHandel420 
You always stand by your stance that ‘No one makes money betting on fights’ but you are wrong.

When a user is identified as a ‘Winning Player’ - every sportsbook has a protocol where they either limit or block the amount a ‘Winning Player’ can wager.
The mere fact that sportbooks do this is proof that winning long term is a reality. 

Also- saying people can’t win because bookies take a cut is the equivalent of saying poker can’t be profitable because the casino takes a rake. Simply not true

When I first started betting I tried to look into how many bettors actually make a profit long term. There's no hard data, at least that I could find, the bookies keep their numbers close to their chests, but every article or comment I could find on it had it in the 1-5% of bettors range. Multiply that with a ****ton of people that like to bet on sports and you realize there has to be some profitable bettors out there.

Also like Kniferusty said, why would the bookies limit you for no reason unless they're trying to limit their losses? I would be really scared about my future as a bettor if there wasn't player's exchanges availabe that will never impose a limit since they just match you with other players and take a comission from whoever wins the bet.

gliese58i bookies always limit my confident parlays I swear I've missed out on multiple thousands cuz of that ****.
I remember trying to place 5000€ on MayMac not breaking the PPV sales record and it had like 6.6 odds
They only let me bet 270€

I think most profitable bettors are people who don't really need to bet to make a living.

That not my opinion tho, my opinion is that they’re no easy way to make money because if they are, gambling wouldn’t exist because the bookies wouldn’t exist because they be broke, it very obvious that people make money gambling, I’m one of those people so I’m not making that argument , But it not because of some easy method, is because I find value on lines, dog or favourite 

Just because your betting style work for you, don’t mean it work for other people, I make money betting on underdog and don’t touch heavy favourites, but for other people betting heavy favourites makes them money, they alway been this war between favourites better and underdog betters

I’ve been too vocal about betting recently & it would probably behove me to keep quiet. I’m going back into the shadows. Good Luck everyone, sorry if I ever unintentionally offended anyone

Bookies rely on impulsive bettors, which most people are. People watching the fights with friends and gambling on big parlays for fun like the lottery.

If they find you being too successful or picking your spots carefully, you will be limited eventually although we can use tricks to avoid it or delay it.
