The Official NWF UFC/MMA Thread

[AshWilliams]

I think I'm going to start skipping the Fight Nights and only watch the UFC PPV events, maybe catch up on UFC news early on in the week.

Well I understand that, cause there are probably better ways to spend a Saturday than Bread and Circuses. The #1 reason would be those awful, constant repeating ESPN commercials. Counted 14 repeats. Come on ESPN! I know that the Phizzzers of the world have 100s of billions to spend in ads, but at least throw in some variety. The Mute button comes in handy.

VOLK sure has a lot of confidence facing a bigger, stronger guy ..........

 

[Burt Gummer]

Jack will win.

Well I turned $3500 into $6800 in 2022 with almost no losses. Draftking's tax reporting and forms is just not good.

I know, despite having my SS/info, they withheld win funds a couple times (24%) and paid the taxes directly but they are flakey about getting me that info. Their win/loss summary is just a cheesy one-line Excel file.

 

[AshWilliams]

I will be following your being lead sir!

 

[Burt Gummer]

Really want to pull the trigger on an Islam and Shavkat parlay. Never more than two in a parlay 99% of the time. 80% confident in Islam, 90% Shavkat. Parlay is -179 as in bet $179 to win $100, but WIN is the point.

IF THOSE WIN, follow up with Burns and underdog Arnold Allen (have bet on him a few times, never disappointed me yet, but Holloway, yikes ..................)

 

[AshWilliams]

I will be following your being lead sir!

Correction: I will be following your betting lead.

 

[Burt Gummer]

Tried to place wager and I get this -- plenty of funds in DK - odd hot mess ..........

MAX WAGER LIMIT REACHED
The bet can't be placed as the offer limit has been reached. The max wager is $150.67. Your wager amount has been adjusted accordingly.

 

[AshWilliams]

@Burt Gummer what are your bets for this Saturday?

 

[Burt Gummer]

Parlayed first (Zubaira) and last fight (Islam) + just Islam alone. Love Volk, but again I don't bet based on that. Saving up for Shavkat

 

[Burt Gummer]

I hope Volk doesn't somehow land a Hail Mary shot hahaha. Even very conservative bets have consequences/risk.

 

[AshWilliams]

I'm going to place my bets after work.

 

[AshWilliams]

Not sure how to do the two pick parlay.

 

[Burt Gummer]

When you click on 2 fighters they appear in the right side betting 'box'. Instead of putting a bet next to their specific name look before at parlay option.

The good news is you should be $6.57 richer tomorrow evening. I have a crazy $150 parlay over 8 fights, odd very low, but sometimes just fun is fun.

Thanks man!

Islam to FINISH the fight inside the distance is a really good risk. I might put a little on that. Volk is considered un-finishable by many, but FIVE ROUNDS surviving Islam I don't see it. Islam moneyline being -400 now, the FINISH bet is a decent move.

 

[Burt Gummer]

First fight was robbery, and last one escaped by a very thin margin.

The Yanks had a poor showing last night. I believe every American fighter lost.

The Crute vs Menifield fight, was it just me or did Menifield have him in the second round and then proceeded to clinch with him against the cage after rocking him allowing him to recover. WTF?

I know I'm stating the obvious, but Volkanovski is a cardio juggernaut. He did not let up with his intensity or tire for the entire fight. That was superhuman.

 

[Burt Gummer]

Yes, you nailed the Menifield blunder. No fight IQ at all.

This Saturday's card is probably the worst yet, a pass for me. Good ones lining up 3/4, etc, Shavkat, Jones, et al ..........
