UFC Paris: Gane vs Tuivasa Betting Recap

Updated: Sep 4, 2022

+2.5 UNITS 19.2% ROI

A winning event which doesn't come that easily for me. I'm a little frustrated that I wasn't disciplined enough to follow my own system. I got most success from time props and parlays. But I'm just happy to come out ahead.


Winning Bets:

Placed - 2 Team Parlay - 1.5 UNITS

  • Over 2.5 (-285)Michal Figlak vs Fares Ziam

Placed - Single - 1 UNIT

  • Charles Jourdain (-140)Charles Jourdain vs Nathaniel Wood

Placed - Single - 1 UNIT

  • Over 1.5 (-110)Benoit Saint-Denis vs Gabriel Miranda



Losing Bets that were bad bets:

If I had been more disciplined I wouldn't have made these bets based on my system. I was too swayed by listening to other people feeling that Makdessi was a good underdog and got overly confident. But based on my system I should not have bet him because of the age difference. Perez and Figlak are both debuting in the UFC which is a red flag. But I thought they looked like they had a decent shot and had good odds so went against the system. If I had been disciplined I would have just avoided these bets.


Placed - Single - 0.5 UNIT

  • John Makdessi - By Points (+300) Nasrat Haqparast vs John Makdessi


Updated notes on the fight outcomes, how the system did, and how successful I was implementing the system:


Winning Underdogs

The dogs that won were Kopylov, Wood, Ziam, and Quinonez. The system told me to avoid betting the favorites in 50% of these fights. I stayed away from Taha because I liked the way Quinonez looked. But I did lose betting Jourdain as the favorite. I also red flagged Ziam because I did not like the way he looked in the tape, but that was not a good red flag. Ziam's striking and grappling looked improved in this fight.


Red Flagged Favorites

The only favorite that won even though they were red flagged them was Magomedov. I red flagged Eggers and Haqparast mostly because I wasn't crazy about how they looked when watching their tape. But I was letting my own preferences cloud my judgement. I should not have red flagged them. I have to be more strict and stick to the rules.


Overall

So if I had been strict, the system got 2 favorites wrong and red flagged 1 favorite winner. It would have helped me to avoid betting the favorite in 2 out of 4 of the fights where the favorite lost.


If following the system and avoiding fights where I had a bad feeling about the favorite, I would have bet Gane, Whittaker, Jourdain, Imavov, St-Denis. I would have gotten 4 out of 5 picks correct. 80% correct


If following the system and blindly betting what the system told me to pick, I would have bet Gane, Whittaker, Haqparast, Gomis, Jourdain, Imavov, St-Denis, Taha and Eggers. I would have gotten 7 out of 9 picks correct. 78% correct


Blindly picking all the favorites: 8 out of 12 which would have 66% correct.


What is the conclusion? I guess the system did help a little and if I had followed it more strictly I would have saved myself 3 Units in this event.
