I don't think anyone has had as much pleasure in betting against Conor McGregor as I have. Not only did I predict McGregor's shocking defeat to Nate Diaz at UFC 196, but I also pocketed a good chunk of change picking the Over/Under in his fight with Floyd Mayweather and his defeats to Khabib Nurmagomedov and Dustin Poirier.

Best Betting Memory

When Tom Brady signed with Tampa Bay, I told everyone who would listen to me that the Bucs would be missing?Jameis Winston?on their way to a 7-9 season and playing second fiddle to Drew Brees in the NFC South. You don't have to tell me how wrong I was, but please don't make me remember.
