this might be the first card in a while where an upset doesn't happen (betting wise) unless Nelson or Condit win. All of my dumb parlays with like five favorites are pretty much a sure thing now.

Does anyone else think Dave Herman at -125 to Stefan Struve is a decent bet? Jiu-jitsu doesn't work and all. Not on Dave Herman.

I would take that bet. Pat Barry, Sean McCorkle and Christian Morecraft are all confirmed terrible HW's. At least the jury is still out on Einemo (which is of course dependant on whether you think Mike Russow is actually that good).

I put money on Herman at -120 but it should be a stay away/low bet fight due to the circumstances. I'm just a degenerate.

apparently Nate Diaz opened up at +190 against Jim Miller. A- what books post lines this early B- I'm thinking of signing up between 5 dimes and bovada what should I do? Bovada seems to put lines up too late, but 5 dimes is asking me to provide part of my ssn to use my debit card.

1. some sites let you bet on anderson-gsp, but i don't see the point in putting your money up before the weigh ins. people get injured, which might make your parlay less desirable and some people (thiago alves) look like poo poo at weight ins 2. since you're one of those geniuses that thought maia should be favored against bisping, i would strongly advise against betting real money and instead to stick with being a highly opinionated goon. 3. i was down to half of my initial investment after yamasaki ruined my parlay, but managed to quadruple that dosh during my latest "time out". awww yeah, at least my wallet appreciates the man with the most hardcore insight on ultimate fighting, futa and phimosis. 4. is ellenberger-sanchez 3 or 5 rounds, because that would make a huge difference..

Ha, ok bud. Hey, everybody look, the shithead got back from his 30 day vacation, what a treat. Hey look what someone said Paul Pot posted:Maia is a good bet but there's no reason to believe Maia isn't another favorable stylistic matchup for Bisping. It'll depend on how good Maia put his strikes and takedowns together IMO.. I really hope you hit the sticks again soon. Also, no-one knew who gassy maia was gonna be, and the reason bisping looked good during the chael fight is cause he caught and stunned chael early (and was grabbing the cage like a forlorn ape). Bisping is no way immune to wrestling now.

Good bet as a 3 to 1 underdog or w/e he was, not good enough that he should've been favored as the dummies were advocating. Bisping has always had great defensive grappling btw, but feel free to ignore my friendly advice and bet on a sport you don't understand.

I've got a  Ellenberger-Miosic-Markes parlay going. Ellenberger is the better striker/wrestler/powerpuncher with a good chin of his own and I don't see cardio being a factor before the 3rd round. Miosic is actually a true heavyweight with good wrestling vs an Englishman that barely beat Rob Broughton. Very certain about those two so then I added Markes at even odds for a better payout. Simpson looked pretty lost the times he couldn't outwrestle his opponents and Markes is striker (didn't see much of it tho) from Aldo's camp that outwrestled that Czech gorilla wrestling champ at 205 last time.All I really know is that I'm staying the gently caress away from Struve-Herman.

I like Ronny Markes too, even though I feel bad betting against a phoenix wrestler dude. Until those Nova Uniao guys start looking bad against wrestlers I'm gonna keep picking them cause they are earning me money in the meantime. seriously what the gently caress is going on in Brazil. Other than that I put (not a lot of) money on Ivan Menjivar. Just cause he's a cool dude.

Stop being so greedy, MMA is just too dumb for huge parlays. Edgar at even odds and Akiyama as a 4-1 underdog seem like the best bets. Probably gonna parlay Frankie with Rampage because I can't picture Bader winning that fight.

Betting on Lauzon is like betting on a Heavyweight/Melvin fight. I don't recommend it, but sometimes the urge is too strong.

Don't bet on Lauzon against Pettis. its crazy. Pettis is a really good fighter, and theres a good chance Lauzon won't be able to get him down at all. And even if he gets him down, theres slim to no chance hes going to be the first guy to TKO Pettis. There are a lot of times when I have and would pick Lauzon but this ain't one

Just like fatherdog talked about Joe Lauzon seems like a really good fighter too (at certain times during the fight) and I figured he may be able to win the first two rounds in a fight that goes to the decision. But I guess I'll just stay away and put more money on Frankie.

I really wouldn't count on Lauzon to see the better side of a decision - he doesn't have the gas to go more than a round and change. If he doesn't stop a fight in the first round he's gonna lose. All but one of his losses have come after the first round.

But I guess I'll just stay away and put more money on Frankie. Lauzon has the skills/brains to take out guys with some weakness he can exploit, usually poo poo ground game or bad punching habits. Pettis looked wrestleable against Clay, but hardly anyone has the style of wrestling that Clay does, and Pettis has showed some good wrestling ability before. Joe can't imitate Clay's takedown attack for three rounds unless he's tripled his endurance. So unless he has found some hole to exploit in Pettis' striking, or something he does on the ground that Joe could take advantage of to land shots, I don't really know what Joe's path to victory would be. Pettis has fought Castillo, Roller, Henderson and Guida in the past few years so he's familiar with fighting wrestlers as good or better than Lauzon. Both Pettis & Joe outwrestled Jeremy Stephens. Joe did it by a bigger margin but Stephens took that one on short notice. THe fights are years apart so maybe Stephens improved, too, who knows.

So uhhhh, my site just started offering prop bets on the post event bonuses, and they don't seem to understand how they work at all. They have Edgar vs Bendo listed at +300, then Edgar and Bendo listed separately at like +2500 and +2800
