I think its probably because all the value got sucked out of Franklin winning inside the distance, but Franklin winning by decision is at the +600 range on most sites. Might not be the most likely outcome, but not a terribly unlikely outcome to not toss a couple of coins on to make things a little interesting.

Russow by decision is also +600, is there a better than 14.3% chance of this happening?

Im gonna go ahead and say Rich Franklin winning by decision is probably the most likely thing that will happen but please don't blame me if you follow my advice and it turns out wrong

Russow isn't likely to get knocked out but he is pretty likely to lose the stand up or get tapped if he takes it down so probably don't bet on russow

Oh Bundt, Ive been sweating it out for someone to agree with me so I have some justification for my degenerate ways. A sort of transference of responsibility, so if it doesn't work out, I coming after you. I'm coming after your sweet rear end Bundt...

Have lines for the undercard for 148 been posted anywhere? I'm going to Vegas for the event and want to place a bunch of bets while I'm there but I can only find lines on the main fights so far

Is tonight the greatest moment in Dominick Cruz's life?

No.

The greatest moment in my life was realizing that I didn't need a belt to be happy.
I don't know why I always have to bet money on Melvin Guillard.

but I do.

I am taking Chael considering he was a minute away from winning the first fight its real good value at +225. With my luck he will get knocked out in 10 seconds by a pissed of Anderson Silva but it's still good value.

Does anyone think Ortiz has a shot of winning? I am a casual MMA fan and I only know him on name recognition so I don't know if +225 is good value.

Tito Ortiz is really shot and retiring, while Griffin knows he can win this fight.

Its not, really. He could get Forrest down and hammer his face enough to steal rounds, but hes got the worst spine in the world and can't get Forrest down reliably and even if he does, Forrest swept him in the last fight and wound up getting the better of things, and as far as standing, neither guy is likely to put the other one out but Forrest can move better and has way more solid kickboxing skills

Agreed, the last time Tito took anyone down IIRC it was Forrest and that was a long while ago. I don't see Tito really worrying Forrest at all.

From watching discovery channel I became convinced that most orthopaedic surgery in one way or another is pretty much carpentry / cabinet making with vastly more important outcomes.

I watched one doctor literally chisel away some bone from a chicks hip, and then put it in her wrist with a plate and some screws.

So I decided to use $100.00 of my windfall betting money (i.e. the 10 dollars free betting money) I was given, that I've grown to 246.00 through wise betting over 12 months on the upcoming card.

Why? Because I'm a degenerate gambler.

So my bets:

Multi bet for head to head
1. Kim
2. Mendes
3. Tibau
4. Guillard

$5 bet for $15.90 outcome

-----

John Alessio to win over Shane Roller $5.00 for $12.35 possible outcome

-----

Multi bet (method of victory incl)

1. Sonnen on points
2. Griffin on points
3. Cote by KO

$10 bet for $218.50 outcome

-----

Chael Sonnen to win on points $10 bet for 45.10 outcome

-----

Forrest Griffin to win on points $5 for a $9.75 outcome

-----

Cote to get KOTN award $5 bet for $54.50 outcome

-----

$5 on Camoes to beat Guillard for $17.25 outcome

-----

$5 for Ortiz Griffin to go the distance $14.85 outcome

-----

$20.00 Multibet for $59.8 outcome

Griffin
Mendes
Cote
Philippou

-----

$30.00 on Chael to beat Silva for $94.2 outcome.



So yeah, should be a fun card to wave goodbye to free money.

I obtain sexual gratification from observing people being inflicted with violent head injuries
I just put £20 on Silva, I am that confident his bruised rib was a factor in the first fight, as confident as I was that Diaz would beat BJ Penn and I didn't put money on that one despite wishing I had. First real MMA bet for me.

Thanks for the Tito advice guys and I put a $100 on Sonnen. I don't see any other underdog that looks like a good value so I only bet on that.

I'm not even mad I lost and I didn't even watch the fight. I gamble on everything not just MMA so no big deal. It looked like good value I lost and move on to the next one. I did make $3 dollars off Forrest Griffin though!

I will take that bet for any amount you wish to gamble with is 1k fine with you?


By the way you might want to read this thread I started in Ask/Tell, I have been gambling since I was about 13 years old which is why losing the bet last night is not a big deal to me. I lose money on sportsbooking and I am not afraid to admit it but what I lose I make up for in gambling on pool and poker. Should we have someone hold the money for us so you will pay up on 07/08/2013?
