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

Dustin Poirier -250 vs Dan Hooker +200

• Post-title fight letdown scenario for Poirier, we know it isn’t 100% but certainly plays a role in a fighter’s performance.
• This fight was much closer at the open (Hooker +145) but the public has hammered Poirier.
• On Tapology, Poirier is getting over 80% of the picks which is a little crazy for me.
• Good value you on Hooker, especially in a small cage with a size advantage.
• Gold Play for the Hangman.

Prop Bet:

• No Play.

DK Lineup:

• Hooker is a proven finisher and Poirier can be finished.
• At $7500, he have a huge opportunity to score big points with minimal investment.
• With the 80% backing of Dustin on Tapology, we can pick up a lot of unique points with a win here.
• Add Hooker.

Mickey Gall +250 vs Mike Perry -334

• Not a big fan of Perry and his corner situation makes him even less desirable.
• We lost a tonne of value on Perry from his open around -150 which would have been a Gold option.
• All that said, Gall is pretty limited as well and can only win this bout in a very particular scenario.
• I think Perry gets the better of him, but with only 10 fights, let’s keep our investment small.
• Pair Perry and Sato together of for HBC Bronze parlay.

Prop Bet:

• Mike Perry to Win by TKO/KO -135
• Perry does his best work when he can bully opponents and is the far superior striker- that should be the case here.
• Look for him to get back to his finishing ways as Gall starts to fade.

DK Lineup:

• For the reasons listed above, I considered using Perry, but he is just a little out of my price range.
• Pass

 icon-circle  icon-circle  

Brendan Allen -300 vs Kyle Daukaus +240

• I really liked Allen around -250, I still like him here as he seems like a better version of Daukaus who has less experience and less prep time.
• I think Allen gets his hand raised and even at this price I feel we can work him into out Gold play.
• Allen and Hansen is a solid parlay.
• Gold Play.

Prop Bet:

• Brendan Allen to Win Inside the Distance -135
• Allen has shown he can finish with strikes or subs and with Daukaus so willing to hit the mat, a finish is likely.
• Let’s keep all options on the table.

DK Lineup:

• As mentioned above, Allen can finish.
• He also carries a steady pace and his takedown/ transition game will produce points.
• Add him.

 icon-circle  icon-circle  

Maurice Greene -250 vs Gian Villante +200

• Villante weighed in at 255 pounds- that’s pretty big for him and unexpected. I had him around 235.
• That will slow him down some, but it could also help him to pack some additional power behind his punches.
• This was a gut pick as I think Villante could find his way inside and hurt a wobbly Greene.
• Not a popular pick, could be am ugly fight, let’s take a dog in a HW bout in a small cage.
• Bronze Bet.

Prop Bet:

• No Play.

DK Lineup:

• Greene has been finished in 2 straight fights and Villante can land his overhand right, it could be 3 in a row,
• At $7600, Villante allows us to add some other bigger ticket fighters while still banking on a finish win.

 icon-circle  icon-circle  

Tanner Boser -110 vs Philipe Lins -110

• Lins getting 70% on Tapology which suggests we are getting some solid value here.
• He didn’t fight poorly in his debut, but AA was probably too much too soon.
• Boser is pretty straight forward and won’t do anything too out of the ordinary, Lins just needs to let his hands go.
• Silver play for Lins.

Prop Bet:

• No Play.

DK Lineup:

• No Play.

 icon-circle  icon-circle  

Julian Erosa +400 vs Sean Woodson -550

• This is a no play.
• Woodson is still an unknown and Erosa, while not very successful at this level, could spark the upset.
• Pass.

Prop Bet:

• Sean Woodson to Win by TKO/KO -120
• Erosa can be finished and he won’t have his reach/ length advantage that he normally does.
• The knees and uppercuts present a major threat from the lanky Woodson- I think something lands.

DK Lineup:

• Woodson can finish and Erosa has been finished- a lot.
• Let’s back the heavy fav and cash in some of the money we have shared.
• Add Woodson.

 icon-circle  icon-circle  

Luis Pena -250 vs Khama Worthy +200

• Worthy shocked a lot of us in his debut, ok let’s be honest- pretty much all of us.
• He is getting a bit of push off an impressive performance that is helping our line.
• Pena is more durable and the threat of his ground game should be enough.
• The line hasn’t moved much which is fine for backing Pena.
• Pena is a solid addition to the Silver section.

Prop Bet:

• See the Betting Scenario Section.

DK Lineup:

• Pena can finish and Worthy has been finished in all 6 pro losses.
• Even without a finish, the activity on the mat will produce points for Pena.
• Use him as a spare and sub out a couple of your other high spenders.

 icon-circle  icon-circle  

Jason Witt +236 vs Takashi Sato -264

• Witt is coming in on super short notice and we all saw what happened with Jaynes/Camacho.
• Nonetheless, with only 10 fights to pick from, we can make a few small plays.
• Sato/Perry is a viable Bronze level play.

Prop Bet:

• Takashi Sato to Win by TKO/KO -135
• Witt has been knocked out a couple of times and was dropped in one of his recent wins.
• Sato has power and he is a patient striker, he should be able to find the mark as Witt presses forward looking for takedowns.

DK Lineup:

• At $8400, Sato is a solid add against a short notice wrestling based fighter.
• Witt is not a great striker and if he slows, Sato should be able to get him out of there.
• We are still getting a solid price from the original fight, so Sato will most likely be a popular pick, still a good option.
• Add him.

 icon-circle  icon-circle  

Jinh Yu Frey +140 vs Kay Hansen -170

• This is a fun fight between 2 debuting fighters.
• Hansen’s size edge and wrestling skill set should be able to carry this bout.
• Frey is still a lot of fun to watch, but this is a bad debut for her in small cage.
• Gold play for Hansen.

Prop Bet:

• See the Betting Scenario Section.

DK Lineup:

• The takedowns will be there for Hansen and her back takes are solid.
• She should score some decent points even in a decision.
• Add her.

 icon-circle  icon-circle  

Jordan Griffin +100 vs Youssef Zalal -125

• Griffin hasn’t impressed me at all and could easily be 0-3.
• Zalal showed he can use takedowns, but he can also use range striking to find success.
• Youssef should have superior cardio which is huge as it will limit the potential for Griffin to rally.
• The line was near even, but I still like the return on YZ.
• Silver Play.

Prop Bet:

• See the Betting Scenario Section.

DK Lineup:

• No Play.

EPU Candidate(s)

1. Kay Hansen to Win by Submission +450

Hansen takedown game is solid and she does a great job working to her opponent’s back. Against a smaller striking based opponent look for this to be a central aspect of her offense. Huge return on this bet.

2. Jordan Griffin/Youssef Zalal

No play here, Griffin is a tough out and Zalal could easily spend this fight outpointing him for a decision.

 icon-circle  icon-circle  

FPO Candidate

1. Luis Pena/Khama Worthy

I will pass here. My lean is to fade this scenario and I am already in on a couple of props. Best to leave this one alone.
