NHL Stanley Cup Tournament: Passion Season approaches

It’s the time of year when GambLou.com begins to focus on realizing bottom line profitability on the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs. 

The NHL is +/- ten games beyond the half-way point of the regular season and the playoff races are beginning to take shape.

Lost by most/many is how dynamically different this sport is between its regular season and its playoffs. This is why I rarely invest in regular season games unless there is a specific playoff atmosphere for whatever reason.

I released the Las Vegas Golden Knights +125 February 6th in their victory against division rival the Edmonton Oilers who were attempting to break the all-time winning streak by an NHL team in the regular season.

That win was easy but there are few opportunities that exist like it until we get to the last ten tilts of the regular season or so.

It’s then that open ice becomes rare, the players play much more defensively and the game begins to transition from one of ‘space and offensive flair’ to ‘lack of skating room and defensive intensity’.

Last year all releases were posted publicly on Instagram.

This year this webpage GambLou.com will be the only location to obtain my NHL Stanley Cup Playoff releases.

2023 NHL Stanley Cup Playoff results: 55-46; +25.20units; 29% ROI

So let me share some of my client releases and my “Square as hell” releases for this game.

UFC LV84 Magomedov vs. Walker: Johnnie was

For info on the ‘Bout Business Podcast please tap the “‘Bout Business podcast” tab at the top of tis webpage

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Insight the Octagon returns for a seventh year of profitable UFC releases on the most powerful betting platform available; the VSIN digital magazine.

After almost a month off, mixed martial artistry returns featuring athletes from across the world who bring specialized fight weaponry into each matchup. This week from the UFC APEX, LV84 offers a fight slate featuring twelve compelling bouts with athlete’s whose skills and body types range from one end of the fight spectrum to the opposite.

My responsibility is to break down each bout and offer my ‘best bet’ here on these pages for each of the 44/46 weeks in 2024 that the UFC will offer fight enthusiasts it’s productions.

Let’s dig right into this event which commences Saturday at 1pm PT with preliminary action then segway’s to main card competition at 4pm PT.

Magomed Ankalaev -450 vs. Johnnie Walker +375 Light Heavyweight (205lbs.) main event

Last October these two tangled into the first round when Walker was illegally kneed and poked in the eye when chaos ensued. The bout was called a ‘no contest’ based on a combination of incompetent refereeing and a language barrier between Walker and said ref.

Flash forward to Saturday and these two will be again be presented the opportunity to vie against each other. I must mention that hatred between Brazilian fight athletes and Russian’s is stringent on a day-to-day basis but in this case these two can’t wait to try to inflict maximum damage upon one another.

Seventh ranked Walker, a Brazilian striker now training in Ireland holds impressive size and length advantages over most athletes in the division and in this fight that holds true.

Walker, a brown belt in BJJ rarely employs his grappling preferring instead to utilize his massive size/length and flamboyant freewheeling striking to try to incapacitate opponents with driving knees, spinning kicks, impaling elbows, and fists.

Walker employs an aggressive approach on opponents as his single goal is to crack then unconscious, pick up a bonus check and return to his training.

Walker’s forceful offense is supplemented by a relative lack of take down ability as well he has a chin more fragile than ancient porcelain.

Third ranked Russian Ankalaev enters a winner of nine straight UFC bouts before realizing a questionable draw (which I believe he won) against Jan Blachowicz in a title fight, then NC came against Walker last fall.

Ankalaev has little personality, panache’ or flamboyance but he holds International Master of Sport degrees in both Samba and MMA. These titles are not handed out easily in the realm of Russian MMA as an aside.

Ankalaev’s personality is as reflective of his approach to fighting as is Walker’s. Walker the aggressive matrix like striker pitted against Ankalaev a systematic, patient grappling machine.

Ankalaev employs a solid striking base in order to enter the pocket against opponents then his aim is to immediately drag foes to the mat for a complete mauling. His strength is immeasurable and is complimented by his cardio which allows him to overwhelm opponents with unrelenting forward grappling pressure.

There exists an abundance of angst between these two and Saturday Walker is going to try to kick Ankalaev’s head into the upper deck while Ankalaev will try to use this five-round bout to first exhaust the monstrous striker then take him down to the floor and choke him out of consciousness.

I believe Ankalaev dominates this bout after the first round or so but will study props in order to find more opportunity than his current straight up price.

Total in this fight: 1.5 Over -166

Manuel Kape -270 vs. Matheus Nicolau +230 Flyweight (125lbs.) co main event

This is a rematch of a bout Nicolau won via split decision in 2021 when he was a full-grown man facing Kape who was then just a shadow of the fighter he is today.

Nicolau rattled off four fine wins before running into an elbow and being KO’d by Brandon Royval in his last bout. Nicolau, a Black belt in BBJ with decent striking enters this fight on the bounce and looking to reestablish himself as the next challenger to the title.

Kape, of Angolan and Portuguese descent is lighting fast and supremely athletic. He’s primarily a Muay Thai striking based fighter who forces opponents backwards then blisters them with his hand speed and leg movement which allow him to attack from every angle.

Kape’s greatest asset may be his power which is unusual for a fighter so fleet afoot and so athletic.

Once this bout begins it will be Nicolau that must navigate his way inside on the athletic striker in order to both negate his movement and striking distance while smothering him. Fighting Kape forehead to Kape’s chest is the prescription for Nicolau to be successful in this bout for his BJJ stands superior to Kapes.

Kape, meanwhile will use his legs and athleticism to maintain distance and attempt to obliterate Nicolau as he attempts to gain the clinch.

I believe this is a tough assignment for Nicolau and with this co main event being a five round bout I look for Kape to have more time to find Nicolau upon entry.

Kape to win via KO/Sub/DQ +140

Total in this fight: 2.5 Over -145

Welcome to ‘Bout Business Podcast 2024

Now accepting Memberships for 2024! 

In 2024 the only place to access the ‘Bout Business Podcast will be here on the GambLou.com webpage.

The podcast is going behind a paywall for the purpose of creating a consistent stream of contributions/donations to the San Xavier del Bac Mission in Tucson, AZ.

I would ask those considering a membership to focus on these pertinent business directives:

  • Everything I do here is business. First proceeds from any podcast income will go to financing the last minimal costs of the new GambLou.com webpage.
  • Green Roll Media, my podcast partner has worked with me to initiate our momentum. In 2024, some portion of proceeds from podcast memberships (in conjunction with webpage fulfillment) will be remitted to Green Roll. They have produced a brilliant podcast and it’s time they too receive compensation for their investment into ‘Bout Business Podcast success.

MOST IMPORTANT

  • Investors who sign up for the podcast’s yearly membership (the Tap out, $199.99) will be provided regular updates on the flow of monetary contributions to the Mission.

For decades I have been theorizing on how I could contribute business proceeds to the San Xavier Mission and this is the vehicle I have chosen.

So rather than regard this as ‘Lou cashing in on his ability to provide listeners with winning positions on UFC fights’…. which will always be the case. I’d ask membership holders to regard yourselves as partners with GambLou.com in contributing to a cause that’s been important to me for decades.

As an independent sports handicapper, it’s critical that I try to lead the charge for independent thinking and acting. While the many podcast giants are mongering for hits, tweets, bottom line and selling swag to pad their wallets… our goal here is different.

The intention is to simply create a contribution stream that comes from the ‘Bout Business Podcast and is directed to the San Xavier Mission.

Request

My request is that Fight Enthusiasts consider a membership to the ‘Bout Business Podcast with the understanding that you will not only profit from the positions released via the ‘Bout Business Podcast (final 2023 profit: 20.83units, 10% ROI, average +127) but you will also be teaming with me in directing a stream of monetary contribution to the San Xavier del Bac Mission.

For more information on the Mission please hit the ’San Xavier del Bac Mission’ tab at the top of this webpage and you may view my history with the Mission.

UFC 296 Edwards vs. Covington: A Royval pain

GambLou’s ‘Bout Business Podcast is now accepting memberships for 2024. Hit the ‘Bout Business tab on the top of this webpage for details. 

This week’s PPV fight card, UFC 296 is a stacked event that will complete 2023 for the organization. The slate is scheduled for fourteen bouts featuring athletes from around the globe who bring their individualized fight weaponry into Las Vegas to win a fight, earn some cheese and close the year on a winning note.

All UFC athletes aspire to compete in PPV events because of the immense exposure they deliver. Once on a PPV card the next ascent is to find oneself on the main card of any PPV event. Once there, a fighter’s earnings are magnified intensifying the importance of the opportunity.

Profitability into this last event of the year stands 21-19 +2.8u.

Let’s Fight

Leon Edwards -160 vs. Colby Covington +135 Welterweight (170lbs.) Title

Englishman Edwards wrested the Welterweight title in magnificent fashion when he head-kick KO’d then champion Kamaru Usman in August 2022. His title defense against Usman this past March was less spectacular though the title remained with Edwards.

Edwards has a very balanced mixed martial arts arsenal; he’s been in with the elite of the division winning eleven straight since 2016. This is his second defense of the title and Edwards arrives to the fight quietly confident he will retain his title

Colby Covington arrives as the brash antagonist which is his ‘schtick’ and he plays it very well. An elite D1 college wrestler Covington has dominated the division save for Usman though he’s not had the opportunity to tangle with Edwards yet.

In the cage, Covington’s intense, forward pressing pressure wrestling and his unlimited cardio are the foundations of his unrelenting attacks.

Outside the cage, he hurls endless tasteless insults at opponents with a shit talking, fowl mouthed, in your face delivery. This tactic repulses most anyone who is within earshot as well as the target those insults are directed towards.

This Covington tactic makes him one of the more abrasive yet elite mentalists in the game and he’s been trying to needle Leon since this bout was announced.

Southpaw Edwards advantages are found in his height, reach, youth and calm demeanor. Edwards should be somewhat prepared for the pressure of Covington after a couple bouts against Usman though Covington’s pressure is more unrelenting as he’s willing to wrestle from bell to bell while Usman’s legs had long since expired by the time he tussled with Edwards.

Covington will drive to press forward and clinch Edwards against the fence, take him down then wrestle him up which will be the key to this fight for him.

Challenges for Covington are that he’s now thirty-five and has not battled in the cage for over a year. Does that negatively affect him or will he arrive firing fresh as a daisy? I believe the later honestly.

He’ll work to systematically wear Edwards out by wrapping him up early and dragging him to the floor for a rock n roll session but can he execute a wrestling heavy game plan against a man with substantial wrestling chops himself?

Covington’s going to be giving up substantial size Saturday and he’ll be at a disadvantage on the feet so he will focus on clasping, clinching and grappling.  Edwards meanwhile will be efforting to maintain space and control distance in order to clobber Colby coming in.

Covington is a special breed of cardio maniac and while I have great respect for Edwards as a mixed martial artist, I must consider that the exultation and notoriety in recent months coupled with the fact that he’s not seen this form of pressure in prior bouts may tilt this fight to Covington.

It’s well easier to get to the mountain top than remain there.

Eventually, when this bout hits the championship rounds and I believe it does conditioning will be the story of this fight.

Will Edwards succumb to the old adage that ‘fatigue makes cowards of us all’? Or will Edwards have the legs, movement and ability to maintain distance and crack Colby as he attempts to gain inside position?

This is going to be an excellent test for both athletes but it’s in the championship rounds where I handicap Covington’s mettle may separate these two.

Covington +135 1u

Total in this fight 4.5Rds. Over

Alexandre Pantoja -195 vs. Brandon Royval +160 Flyweight (125lbs.) Title

Rematch.

In August 2021 Pantoja submitted Royval when Pantoja was focused solely on gaining his title shot while Royval was a talented but yet developing future flyweight talent.

Pantoja choked Royval out in the second round of that bout and now defends his title for the first time in a rematch against a kid in Royval that since their first bout has greatly evolved physically, mentally and emotionally.

Royval’s two years younger, he’s four inches taller and the lefty holds a reach advantage of seven inches. Together these physical advantages may contribute to dominance provided Royval can utilize movement and distance in order to ensure the fight remains at distance and standing.

In the first bout, Royval’s wild approach and lack of experience manifested itself into an uneven performance both mentally and physically as Pantoja was simply the more refined, aggressive, complete mixed martial artist in the cage that night.

In this battle, I believe Royval must take a planned but aggressive approach to the new champion and introduce himself early as the bigger, stronger more determined athlete. This will be no easy task against a warrior with the fight arsenal and pride of Pantoja.

Royval’s size, length, youth and focus must together be utilized to force Pantoja into realizing this is a different fighter and a different night than when these two first fought and possibly a different outcome.

Pantoja’s story is a powerful one that encompasses plenty of past pain and professional obstacles but he’s overcome all of that to become champion of the world.

Since becoming champion however, the exultation, recognition and notoriety that comes with being champion coupled with the wealth for his family may not have had time to do their corrosive work yet …but I MUST wonder if and how Pantoja will be able to match the intensity of performance he displayed in his last bout against Moreno.

Royval matches up well against Pantoja.

Royval +160 

Patience with this release…the world is playing Pantoja… take Royval at +160 or higher!

Gamblou’s ‘Bout Business Podcast will drop Friday early PM PT. Look for it across all podcast platforms.

Thank you for reading and enjoy the fights!

UFC 295 Prochazka vs. Pereira: Gut Czech

Five UFC fight cards remain in 2023 starting with this week’s UFC 295 from New York City. As is often the case in the volatile UFC, some of the athletes have been replaced but competitive viable betting opportunities surely remain.

Last week amid a slew of fight cancellations my release of the Danish Viking Nicolas Dalby to provide a stern test for the talented Brazilian Gabriel Bonfim did result in a successful win bet on the Over. However, I wish I’d given Dalby more consideration straight up as he knocked Bonfim out in the second round as a +380/+400 underdog.

‘Bout Business Podcast 2023: 95-87  +32.19u  18% ROI  (125)

Jiri Prochazka +110 vs. Alex Pereira +130 Light Heavyweight (205lbs.) title

This title fight features Prochazka, the former title holder prior to his devastating shoulder injury, competing against Pereira for the title which is currently vacated after most recent champion Jamahal Hill suffered injury a few months ago.

Pereira is ranked third in the division after but one bout against elite talent Jan Blachowicz. He has much to gain with a win here and plenty to prove namely that his power and striking effectiveness can carry into this heavier, larger light heavyweight division.

Working in Pereira’s favor are his rapid evolution into MMA, his mentor former light heavyweight champion Glover Teixeira a former foe of Prochazka, and his zeal to earn UFC belts in two different divisions.

For the Brazilian Pereira decorated with a black belt in kickboxing and a brown belt in BJJ, there is much to gain from a victory here.

In Prochazka we must rely on the fact that his shoulder which was damn near torn off like a cooked chicken wing has fully recovered and that he is not only cleared to compete but is 110% prepared for war physically and mentally.

Both of these men sport shallow UFC history therefore the significant striking data is somewhat skewed. Each athlete delivers effective powerful damaging shots at high rates. Pereira lands 5.11 significant strikes per minute and allows 3.70 so he is accruing damage while mindful of defense.

Prochazka delivers his strikes with similar frequency but with well more power but his defense is less sound. Jiri lands 5.7 significant strikes per minute but he absorbs 5.40 per minute which makes for a fighter ‘willing to eat one to give one’.

It’s my position that Pereira is the more diligent, refined, precise striker while Jiri is the more telegraphing but devastating one.

Each man maims opponents with bludgeoning leg kicks in conjunction with those long damaging strikes but with Jiri the power and devastating effects are clear as he’s finished all three of his UFC opponents.

Pereira has not displayed the finishing traits or ferocity in the cage we have seen from Jiri especially in his sole light heavyweight tussle against Blachowicz.

Makers have made the total in this bout 1.5Rds Over -130

I can’t envision something that looks like an early finish in this fight.

Pat Sabatini -135 vs. Diego Lopes +115 Featherweight (145lbs.)

Sabatini, from Philadelphia area brings a well-rounded fight arsenal to his bouts. Solid wrestling complimented by black belts in BJJ and a Korean Karate fight form called ‘Tang Soo Do’ are Sabatini’s credentials. When he has it going well Sabatini employs aggressive forward pressure to clasp, clinch and control opponents. He’s dominant in the clinch, against the fence or on the floor with opponents for on the feet he is unsure of himself offensively and somewhat ineffective defensively.

Lopes hits the ‘Big Apple’ with revenge on his mind for his UFC debut was in New Jersey against Movsar Evloev this past May. In that bout Lopes looked like anything but a debuting athlete. He gave eighth ranked Evloev all he could handle in that decision loss and it was that night that I recognized future opportunity on this young Brazilian gamer.

In this fight Lopes will be the younger man by three years, he’s two inches taller and will sport a two-inch reach advantage arms and legs.

As importantly Lopes BJJ grappling is on par to Sabatini’s BJJ wrestling though I credit Lopes with far more fluidity and natural striking ability as well his ability to take a shot to the schnoz is a strength.

Achilles heel to Sabatini unfortunately is his balsa wood beak for if flushed on the face Sabatini can fold up as we witnessed against a long, tall, gangly Damon Jackson.

Once this bout begins, I look for Lopes to be fresher, faster, stronger and able to keep this fight standing and at distance. From there his striking will have maximum effect on Sabatini as he tries to work his way inside to engage.

Lopes +115

Total in this fight: 2.5Rds. Under -180

Benoit St. Denis -230 vs. Matt Frevola +190 Lightweight (155lbs.)

I’m warning everyone now that this fight is pure violence.

Matt ‘the Steamrolla’ Frevola, a lieutenant in the US Army reserve fights out of Long Island with the Longo Weidman team. He holds a brown belt in BJJ but his game really revolves around striking …with power. Frevola’s ideal scenario is to engage anyone, anywhere in a closed quarter, flat footed throwdown.

Frevola’s power is fight ending as witnessed by the cocky Drew Dober who was iced by Frevola in his last outing. However, in this fight Frevola steps up in class against an athlete that I believe is on his way straight to the top five of the lightweight division.

In St. Denis we have an ex-military green beret in the French Army. He’s taller, longer and younger than is the local New Yorker as well he is gifted with a more complete fight arsenal. St. Denis thrives in the firestorm of fury and is able to dominate anywhere the fight takes place.

His foe Frevola needs fights to remain on the feet to have his best chance to win while St. Denis can shake, rattle or roll from anywhere in the cage.

Frevola will take this fight directly to St. Denis. St. Denis will walk down Frevola with urgency and ill intent. The result will be some outstanding watching!

Total in this fight: 1.5Rds. Under -150
