UFC on ESPN 30 Petroski vs. Gillmore: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Records: Petroski 5-2-0 | Gillmore 6-3-0
Fight result (2-way line or money line)
Petroski (-550) will cost you more than five times your potential return, and that's just too expensive.
Instead, look to PETROSKI BY SUBMISSION (+100) at even-money for a much better value. He is 2-1 via submission in his seven career professional fights, while all three of Gillmore's pro losses were via submission.
Over/Under (O/U)
You cannot bet No (-350): Will the fight go the distance?, due to low odds and lack of reward.
Instead, look to PETROSKI TO WIN IN ROUND 2 (+285) and PETROSKI TO WIN IN ROUND 3 (+1000) for a two-round betting block. Yes, you will lose one of those ends if he comes through with a submission win in Rounds 2-3, but you'll still be quite ahead.
