So, last night I loaded the boat on Raoni Barcelos<\/strong> to defeat Raul Rosas Jr.<\/strong> in UFC Vegas 121’s main event. And, after four rounds of incredible action (full recap here), I was feeling supremely confident that +810, three-leg parlay would cash. Then Barcelos just … turned off (thankfully, he seems like he will be just fine). My parlay cooked, just like that. Earlier in the night, I needed the judges to side with Norma Dumont<\/strong> to cash a nice +1238, four-leg combination, but the brilliant minds cageside sided with Ailin Perez<\/strong>. ABSURD! Finally, I reached on Brady Hiestand<\/strong> \u2013 who was coming off a super long layoff \u2013 to topple Rinya Nakamura<\/strong> as a tough +250 underdog. He pulled off the upset, and I only needed Mehemmedeli Osmanli<\/strong> to dismantle Ilimbek Akylbek Uulu<\/strong> in The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 33<\/em> Finale, only for Uulu to go full-on Rodolfo Bellato<\/strong> after eating an illegal upkick. And another +705 long-odd UFC bet slip was cooked.<\/p>\n I\u2019m not bitter, not at all! But, is there a more difficult \u2013 and mind-breaking \u2013 sport to bet on? (Ping Pong is not a real answer, either).<\/p>\n
