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

Jessica Eye -110 vs Cynthia Calvillo -110

• Eye was a slight dog at the open which is not surprising considering she is a former challenger and Calvillo is moving up.
• The line is even now with public money on CC- people are following that narrative that grapplers beat Eye.
• 54% picking of Calvillo. (Tapology)
• That hasn’t been the case at FLW and we have seen Calvillo struggle to takedown bigger girls (Casey).
• The extra weight won’t help Calvillo in a longer fight, especially once Eye starts landing low kicks and busting her up.
• Eye gets the nod in a fun fight.
• Eye Gold Play.

Prop Bet:

• No Play.

DK Lineup:

• No Play.

 icon-circle  icon-circle  

Karl Roberson +180 vs Marvin Vettori -220

• This fight has some added emotion/bad blood that wasn’t there the first time it was booked.
• *Update- Roberson missed weight by over 4-pounds. Brutal.
• the line on Vetorri has stayed relatively close, but the -200 was a nicer bet overall.
• Roberson has the skills to make this one interesting, but his avenues to victory are limited.
•  There has to be some concern that Vettori cut weight for their first fight and it appears that Roberson probably short of draining himself for the final 5 pounds.
• Silver play for Vettori.

Prop Bet:

• No Play.

DK Lineup:

• With Minner out, I had to revamp my DK team.
• Vettori gets the call for a couple of reasons.
• #1. I don’t see a lot of other solid options out there which is a big factor.
• #2. Roberson can be finished by submission which is an area Vettori has had success with.
• With Roberson missing weight Vettori will be fired up and could take advantage of him fading down the stretch.
• Add him.

 icon-circle  icon-circle  

Gutstavo Lopez +450 vs Merab Dvalishvili -700

• 48-hours notice and 93% support on Tapology.
• Lopez is a huge dog. In fact, if he wins he would be by 2nd biggest upset pick of all time at +450.
• Dvalishvili has good takedowns, but his top control is not great and Lopez can wrestle.
• Lopez is also a more linear striker and has legit power. Merab’s chin is there to be hit.
• The window is limited, but this dog worth the bark.
• Bronze play on Lopez

Prop Bet:

• No Play.

DK Lineup:

• If Lopez wins he wins by knockout and he is dirt cheap.
• He will also be owned by very few players which makes this an opportunity to get unique points.
• Add him.

 icon-circle  icon-circle  

Andre Fili -225 vs Charles Jourdain +187

• Jourdain lost his debut start to finish and lost the majority of his fight until getting the finish.
• His avenue to victory against Fili is pretty much the same- flash knockdowns or a knockout.
• Jourdain’s TDD is questionable and he reckless on the feet- all areas that Fili can exploit.
• The -175 was juicy, but even here we are getting a better return then I feel we should.
• Gold play for Fili

Prop Bet:

• No Play.

DK Lineup:

• Andre gets the call for my lineup.
• He offers a diverse offense with strikes and takedowns.
• He can score a submission or knockout win against an opponent that is defensively vulnerable.
• Solid option.
• Add him.

 icon-circle  icon-circle  

Jordan Espinosa -170 vs Mark De La Rosa +140

• DLR has lost 3 in a row, Espinosa has dropped B2B fights, but 3 straight seems to be the magic number for a lot of fighters.
• Espinosa moves a lot and is very athletic, but he slows down and doesn’t land a tonne of offense.
• DLR likes to counter and is more linear with his striking.
• He is also the more accomplished grappler versus a guy that has a lot of early-career sub wins and more recent sub losses.
• Solid dog play.
• Silver play for DLR.

Prop Bet:

• No Play.

DK Lineup:

• DLR is a BJJ Black Belt and Espinosa has been submitted in 2 straight fights.
• With the limited options, we can snatch a dog that can finish against a fav that can be finished.
• Add him.

 icon-circle  icon-circle  

Mariya Agapova -300 vs Hannah Cifers +240

• The line is trending in the wrong direction and started at point that was almost untouchable.
• A young debuting fighter at -300 (or more) is simply not worth a SU bet.
• Even with how impressive Agapova has been and the short notice and weight jump for Cifers.
• No Play.

Prop Bet:

• Mariya Agapova to Win Inside the Distance +160
• Cifers is going struggle with the reach and movement of Mariya.
• This will require her to take some chances and expose herself.
• She is also vulnerable in grappling exchanges.
• Agapova has shown she can finish with strikes or via submission.
• A nice betting option with the card already down to 10 fights.

DK Lineup:

• Based on the above breakdown, we need to add Agapova.
• There is some risk that she underperforms in the big show, but she could also be a big point producer.
• Add her.

 icon-circle  icon-circle  

Kevin Aguilar -188 vs Charles Rosa +162

• Aguilar needs a win here with back to back losses, his strong UFC start is fading fast.
• Rosa is a good grappler, but the majority of his success has come from a defensive position- not ideal.
• He can also strike, but his kick heavy barrage isn’t as effective as Aguilar’s boxing.
• 65% have picked KA and the line is moving against us but is far from unplayable.
• Silver play for the Angel of Death.

Prop Bet:

• No Play.

DK Lineup:

• Rosa is a tough out, even if Aguilar throws bombs this is a pass for me.

 icon-circle  icon-circle  

Julia Avila -550 vs Gina Mazany +400

• A SU bet on Avila makes no sense here.
• Longer layoff and only her 2nd fight in the UFC.
• No Play.

Prop Bet:

• Julia Avila to Win Inside the Distance -150
• Avila is aggressive and can finish almost anywhere.
• If Mazany can’t take her down she will struggle to hold up against the power punching of Julia.
• Similar to Agapova, this gives us a decent return on a heavily lined fight.

DK Lineup:

• Similar to Agapova, we are including Avila in our lineup.
• WMMA fighters often get overlooked when it comes to finishing.
• If she finishes, that produces some solid points for us.
• Add her.

 icon-circle  icon-circle  

Zarrukh Adashev +100 vs Tyson Nam -125

• Picking a slight dog debuting on short notice is always a risk.
• I have seen nothing from Nam that tells me short of a knockout, he can win at this level.
• Adashev is a capable striker with a solid combat sports background.
• He should be able to outwork the counter heavy Nam for the duration.
• Bronze play for Zarrukh.

Prop Bet:

• See the Betting Scenario Section.

DK Lineup:

• No Play.

 icon-circle  icon-circle  

Christian Aguilera +162 vs Anthony Ivy -188

• Ivy was been primed to fight since he was tabbed to face GM3 on short notice.
• He is a long WW with a decently diverse skill set.
• Aguilera (not Christina) his a heavy hitter that will need to overcome some distance issues.
• He also has had mixed results when unable to get the early finish.
• Ivy survives his early attack and takes the fighter over when he fades.
• 91% picking Ivy and the line has improved slightly from the open.
• It is a risk, but Gold Play for Ivey.

Prop Bet:

• See the Betting Scenario Section.

DK Lineup:

• No Play.

EPU Candidate(s)

1. Zarrukh Adashev/Tyson Nam

This should be a fun fight, but I don’t feel like I have a strong lean either way.

2. Anthony Ivy to Win by TKO/KO/DQ +150

With 79% of predictors taking Ivy to win by TKO/KO we are getting solid return based on the plus money. Further, he has 5 wins by knockout and Aguilera has been (T)KO in 4 of his 6 defeats. I like the return under those scenarios.
