Kamikaze Overdrive Premium Bet Pack

Parlays & Single Bets

Depending on your betting style, you can select the Hardcore Betting Cluster which employs a betting strategy focussed on straight and 2-leg parlays that limit the risk and offer a decent return based on your financial commitment. If you are willing to take a little more risk and aren’t interested in putting as much cash in play, but still want a shot at a big return- then the Casual Betting Cluster is for you. Playing both of these strategies together is not recommended.

Betting Breakdowns

Tyron Woodley -170 vs Gilbert Burns +140

• Woodley is in a tough spot here- facing a rising contender looking for his shot while at the same time he is attempting to muster the momentum to reclimb the ranks- post-title fight letdown.
• Burns doesn’t have the wrestling to take him down, but he has the BJJ to not worry about getting taken down which is big.
• Burns was sitting around +125 when he opened so we are getting some value here with 67% picking Woodley to win the fight.
• Burns should be able to outwork Woodley early who will tire and be even less effective late.
• Woodley needs a KO to win. I like these odds under that scenario.
• Silver Play for Burns.

Prop Bet:

• No Play.

DK Lineup:

• Burns is a finisher and over 5 rounds he should be able to land with regularity on Woodley (especially as he slows down).
• Any time you can get a finisher for under $7500 you are off to a good start.
• Add him.

 icon-circle  icon-circle  

Blagoy Ivanov -110 vs Augusto Sakai -110

• The split is pretty even with Sakai getting 53% of the voters on Tapology.
• Sakai was sitting around +100 and some sites have him as high as -114 now, but that is still playable.
• I think Sakai can outwork him, use his size to muscle him around, and be more active in the later stages of the fight.
• Lewis isn’t as capable on the feet as Sakai and he still held his own and edge him out- Augusto will too.
• Silver play for Sakai.

Prop Bet:

• Augusto Sakai to Win by Decision +200
• Sakai by decision is getting a 52% nod on tapology.
• While he is a finisher and I wouldn’t be shocked to see a stoppage, Ivanov is tough and can take a lot of damage.
• Decisions at HW are a risk, but this one offers a solid return.

DK Lineup:

• Despite playing Sakai to go the distance, at $8200 he offers a lot to your fantasy lineup.
• He could produce a 100+ striking total as he did in his debut.
• Score an early finish or possibly a late stoppage- lots of options.
• Add him.

 icon-circle  icon-circle  

Spike Carlyle +110 vs Billy Quarantillo -138

• This should be a barn burner and I really like the edge we have here.
• Quarantillo looked great in his debut, but he did so against an overwhelmed short-notice opponent.
• Carlyle is a stout wrestler and has great cardio- he should also have the power edge.
• We have lost some of the initial value on Carlyle (+130), but I still he is a great play with Billy getting blown up by his debut.
• Gold play for Spike.

Prop Bet:

• No Play.

DK Lineup:

• Carlyle has stopping power and has finished 3 straight in the opening round.
• At $7600 he is an easy add with lots of potential.

 icon-circle  icon-circle  

Roosevelt Roberts -350 vs Brok Weaver +275

• This is an easy pass. Roberts should win, but the line isn’t worth it.
• No Play.

Prop Bet:

• No Play.

DK Lineup:

• Roberts can pile up takedowns and is always looking to lock up a submission.
• Weaver is too vulnerable on the mat and can be put there with regularity.
• Add him.

 icon-circle  icon-circle  

Hannah Cifers +350 vs Mackenzie Dern -450

• No Play here either.
• Dern needs to prove herself and if she can’t take Cifers down she will struggle.
• Pass.

Prop Bet:

• Mackenzie Dern to Win by Submission -110
• Cifers is vulnerable on the mat and can be taken down.
• Dern will most likely look to get back to her bread and butter after a tough loss.
• 74% of Dern’s backers are taking her by sub, if you want to play this fight here is your option.

DK Lineup:

• Dern makes the cut here.
• She could either score multiple takedowns over a full 15-minutes or set up the sub.
• I like her to finish.
• Add her.

 icon-circle  icon-circle  

Katlyn Chookagian +110 vs Antonina Shevchenko -138

• The line has stayed pretty consistent which is indicative of the 53/47% split in favour of Chookagian.
• She is coming off a title fight loss which is a big factor here.
• It is also worth considering that AS will have the insight of her sister who just finished prepping for Chook.
• Shevchenko’s clinch game is the key here against a fighter that likes to maintain distance.
• Gold Play.

Prop Bet:

• See the Betting Scenario Section.

DK Lineup:

• No Play.

 icon-circle  icon-circle  

Gabriel Green +275 vs Daniel Rodriguez -350

• Rodriguez has gone from a short notice newcomer to a heavy favourite in just 2 fights.
• With the late change, there is too much uncertainty with this line.
• Pass.

Prop Bet:

• Daniel Rodriguez to Win inside the Distance -170
• Green has been finished twice in the opening round which is a good start here.
• D-Rod hits hard and has a solid submission game.
• He is also the larger man.
• D-Rod gets the finish, keep all options open.

DK Lineup:

• Rodriguez is still carrying the price from his matchup with Holland.
• He will be heavily owned, but a finish is a legit possibility.
• Add him.

 icon-circle  icon-circle  

Klidson Abreu +100 vs Jamahal Hill -125

• Hill getting a significant amount of support to the tune of 81%- not indicative of the near even odds.
• Hill was around -175 so we are getting a solid bump in price here.
• Abreu seems unwilling to make his BJJ his #1 focus which is a concern against a young/long/ talented fighter.
• Abreu is tough and will keep moving forward, but Hill will damage him routinely with his speed and more varied offense.
• Gold play.

Prop Bet:

• No Play.

DK Lineup:

• No Play.

 icon-circle  icon-circle  

Tim Elliott -170 vs Brandon Royval +140

• Elliott is a fun fighter, but that fun comes with risks.
• Royval is dangerous and could capitalize on those risks.
• That being said, Elliott is the far more experienced fighter and a sizeable step up for the new guy.
• Royval struggled with Kenney and will struggle here, giving up position too often.
• We are getting some value with Elliott improving from -180 and continuing to rise.
• Silver play for Tim.

Prop Bet:

• No Play.

DK Lineup:

• No Play.

 icon-circle  icon-circle  

Casey Kenney -300 vs Louis Smolka +240

• This should be an entertaining scrap, but worth betting Kenney SU.
• I like Smolka enough to avoid taking Kenney at -300.
• Pass.

Prop Bet:

• See the Betting Scenario section.

DK Lineup:

• I have Kenney as a spare here.
• He has a solid submission game and should be able to take down Smolka at will.
• Work him in where needed.

 icon-circle  icon-circle  

Chris Gutierrez -110 vs Vince Morales -110

• Gutierrez was a slight favourite before the line started moving.
• I like Morales to outwork a fighter that likes to sit back and counter.
• I felt Morales should have got the nod over Lopez and this is a similar fight- he will learn from his mistakes.
• Bronze play.

Prop Bet:

• See the Betting Scenario section.

DK Lineup:

• Morales hits hard and should find a willing partner in Gutierrez.
• I would have considered him for the starting lineup, but Gutierrez is no easy out.

EPU Candidate(s)

1. Casey Kenney Wins Inside the Distance +385

Smolka can be finished and routinely puts himself in some bad spots. Kenney is the better wrestler and has the sub-skills to capitalize on Smolka’s recklessness on the mat. Don’t count out Kenney’s power either, he has enough pop to do some damage. The return is too solid to overlook.

2. Chris Gutierrez/Vince Morales

No play. Morales hits hard and could finish him, but Gutierrez is a tough out. I want the win SU anyway I can get it.
