Maddox Tue, 27 Oct 2009 20:07:57 -0000 <p>So I've been bitten by the MMA betting bug (say that three times fast) and wanted to ask the BloodyElbow betting community for help, namely in finding the right website for me.</p> <p><img class="photo" src="http://cdn2.sbnation.com/imported_assets/281398/pokerbetting_medium.jpg" height="221" alt="Pokerbetting_medium" width="267" /></p> <p><a href="http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/4687/pokerbetting.jpg"></a></p> <p>Here's my situation: I live in Portugal (the sport has next to no steam here) so I can only bet MMA online. My only betting (MMA and other sports) has been on <a href="http://www.bwin.com" target="_blank">Bwin </a>(which is the most popular betting site in Europe if I'm not mistaken).</p> <p><br />&nbsp;I really like the site and their service/odds/etc are very good. The problem is they don't have the most extensive offereing of MMA bets in the world (they had 4 fights to bet on for UFC 104, 3 of them being only available a week before the event) and they don't allow <b>parlays </b>for MMA. This is my biggest issue. Because i could only make single bets, my UFC 104 winnings were 22$ for 3 sepperate fights instead of 75$ for a 3 fight parlay.</p> <p>I also found <a href="http://www.pinnaclesports.com/" target="_blank">Pinnacle Sports</a> but they too do not have the option to parlay MMA bets.</p> <p>So I'm asking for your help. What website do you use/suggest? Mind you I'm looking for a site that will facilitate deposits and withdrawals (being that for me it will mean international transactions) and you think provides a good service (and odds, etc.) overall. Thanks in advance!</p> http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2009/7/7/941025/details-on-the-next-ufc-undisputed J. B.
