Early Betting Line
 UFC
88 Betting should be very interesting. Three fights have the classic
matchup of up-and-comers against experienced veterans. In all cases
the veterans are big named superstars of the UFC.
Chuck Liddell (-265)
is the biggest name of all, and he's received the most support by the
early UFC betting public. Although he's already moved higher from the
opening line, I expect him to continue towards a 3-1 favorite. Rashad
(+225) is in the MMA fans' doghouse and Liddell is over-rated by most
observers. If you're a Liddell fan now is the time to bet.
Matt Hamill (+180)
seems like the most likely underdog winner of the three. This line
settled and probably won't vary much either way. Rich Franklin (-220)
was bet early but Hamill bettors fired back quickly.
To the casual fan
Dan Henderson (-200) seems like an easy winner over Rousimar Palhares
(+165),
but the odds indicate otherwise. Is it too good to be true or an obvious
trap. I think most of the smart-money is already in on
Palhares and Hendo begins to creep up slightly as casual bettors (small
bettors)
start playing UFC 88. If you're a Hendo fan, -200 will be the best
price you will see from here on. |
