Strikeforce: Playboy at the Mansion II
5Dimes.com have just released their mixed martial arts betting lines for Strikeforce at the Playboy Mansion II which will headline Renato “Babalu” Sobral (30-7) versus Anthony “A-Train” Ruiz (21-11).
Strikeforce will return to entertainment mogul Hugh Hefner’s world-famous Playboy Mansion in Beverly Hills, CA with a star-studded lineup of cage fights on Saturday, September 20th.
The event will be chalk for of beautiful women and be set in the famous Playboy mansion which will headline some very good top MMA fighters like Japanese top ten fighters Mitsuhiro Ishida and Kazuo Misaki. Also fight will be UFC star Renato “Babalu” Sobral and Josh The Punk Thompson.
Though the stars are fighter their opponents are not. Most of the be stars will be fighting no name fighters and that has reflected the online mixed martial betting lines at most online sportsbooks
Sports betting wise the card it pretty lopsided and with a lot of the MMA betting lines at -300 for higher for most fights it would take a lot of money just to make a little. If there is an upset than the money that you bet will be gone in a hurry and you will be in the minus.
The good thing is that 5 Dimes is the only online sportsbooks that allows MMA bettors the ability to create parlay bets so now you can minimize you bets with parlays by offsetting large betting lines.
For example Josh Thomson is a-1200 betting favorite. Are you willing to shell out 1200 dollars just to make 100? I certainly would not. But if can off set those betting odds by doing a parlay with the Mitsuhiro Ishida fight at -370. If you bet on those two fights a 100 dollars bet will net you 37 dollars and you don’t have to shell out 1200 or 370 just to make two hundred dollars.
Now if you are willing to do a 5 fight mixed martial arts parlay for all the fight with all the favorites if you bet 100 dollars you will take home 244.
Strikeforce is putting on easy fights so why not try to maximize the amount you bet with the least amount of money.
If you want to be on the moneyline for these fights the betting odds for Strikeforce are below which are provided by 5 Dimes
Renato “Babalu” Sobral -450
