WKR Gambling advice UFC 98

Casinogamblerrex_468x462_medium

Well its time for WKR to give our gambling advice. Real quick disclaimer like the NFL and NCAA gambling is bad, you shouldn't do it and in no way does gambling on sports make the sporting event more exciting. Finally in the words of Casablanca, "I am shocked, shocked to find gambling!"

Light Heavyweight Champion Rashad Evans (+165) over Lyoto Machida (-205)
For every unit bet on Rashad you'll win 1.65 units that fact is making my wallet salivate. Consider for a moment that the underdog has won three of the last four light heavyweight title fights. That is a nice trend to bet on with a +165 odds. Besides you have Greg Jackson in your camp and that has to make you feel good about your chances. 

Brock Larson (-290) over Chris Wilson (+230)    
Ok not the most creative bet, or the best pay off, but this is my safety school (like Arizona State!). Larson is 25-2 with his only losses coming againts Jon Fitch and Carlos Condit. This guy simply doesn't lose and is will be primed to make a run in the UFC welterweight division. For a sure thing (by writing this I may be screwing him over) the odds aren't that bad. 

Dan Miller (-155) over Chael Sonnen (+125)
I was all about Chael Sonnen, then I found out he was 30lbs. overweight. If you are a gambling man placing a bet on a fighter who has to cut that much weight and on short notice is insane. Sorry Chael putting my money down on Dan. 

Xavier Foupa-Pokam (+130) over Drew McFedries (-160)    
This is my sleeper pick. McFedries has a lot of power but no ground game and in MMA you need to a ground game to win. If Xavier survives that intial rush of punches and gets McFedries to the ground then he can easily win.

Last event WKR rebounded with a solid 2-1

Completely Agree

Even though I think Machida will win his odds are horrible and Evans is in no way a long shot. With those odds he is the better bet, but i still won’t touch it. otherwise, completely agree.

Thanks

I agree with you to, but that is why I have the Larson bet. It will make me slightly happier after Machida wins and I lose money :-(
