UFCVegas84 Recap & Debrief (Patreon)
Content
Hey folks! Unfortunately, it was a losing night at UFC Vegas 84. Let's talk about what went wrong, what went right, and what lessons we can learn.
The Good?
Picks were on point. 10/11 correct winners to start the year (Parsons & Bautista underdogs).
Limited the damage on the card.
3/4 Fights I Bet to End via SUB ended via KO (still ended ITD, fits the read)
The Bad?
We lost ~2U on the reverse sweep. I was hoping for one SUB prop to hit to pay for our night of betting, with the upside that any two SUBs hitting could be a massive score. Instead, we ended up betting 4 SUB props on a night when one SUB took place. If I had it to do over?.3U Bunes/Van Ends SUB +290.2U Van via SUB +750-.3U Main Event Ends SUB +750.3U Nolan/Motta Ends SUB +800 (No Nolan SUB prop).2U Arlovski/WCA Ends SUB +1100 (No WCA SUB prop)This would've given us similar upside and limited our upfront downside.
Also quite pissed at myself for passing on Bautista ML. I picked him outright and he was over +150, no excuse to not take that bet.
