Bones is good all the way up to whatever part of your bankroll you feel comfortable betting. Ill take him - whatever.

What do you think Jones is good up to? And what do you think the line will open at?
I might take him up to -250. He's probably worth more, but Forrest has a way of pulling upsets and I'm always hesitant to bet against that.
BTW, it's time you got a suitable avatar. The little area with your name and shit is a barren, avatarless wasteland. Preferably it will have something to do with a ninja. It's kind of a rule for new guys.
I never had to put a ninja up...

I think you came during the lull in ninja action. There was a time when almost all of us had ninja avatars. Luke was the only asshole who refused to do it.

I was a loyal ninja AV supporter... I think a ninja AV is kind of a must for sucess in wagering.

Quick KO of Wand, and then two horrible performances against Jardine(unbelievable when you think about this) and rashad. So he has looked good three times. He stopped 3 fighters(all have questionable beards) out of 10 or so. And failed to stop a few guys that the old(or younger) Jackson would have stopped.
And yet he is not at least somewhat washed up? i mean we can do the whole subjective argument about this. But for Gods sake, I think everyone can see he has slowed down.
I just do not see him all of a sudden turning it back on for this fight, especially when IMO he has lost his fire.
I also believe that the shot that dropped Machida in the second shogun fight was a temple shot that might have dropped anyone. Can Rampage land it, of course he can. Hell, Hughes landed a money shot on Ricardo, but i am not willing to bet on it.
Clearly when Rampage is without distraction and can really get fired up about who he's fighting he wrecks guys. Also, lets not act like a guy who's only career knockout losses are to Cro Cop, Rampage, and Dan Henderson has a weak chin all of a sudden. Rampage has definitely lost the fire and his biggest problem has always been motivation to get into the gym, as well as a lack of work ethic. The smart money will be on Machida but depending on the odds Rampage may be the "right side". We don't know if Machida will come out gunshy after suffering his first loss by horrific knockout only to find himself across from a man who has made a career out of brutalizing people with his hands.

Oh, Well it was one of you mild mannered motherfuckers who was saying he was considering not betting MMA anymore because of his recent troubles with it.

I actually just broke past a barrier I've been working to get past for months and am more ahead now than I ever have been since I started betting over a year ago.

What the fuck?
Re: UFC 123 - Machida/Rampage-Bones/Forrest
you said you broke past a barrier. Doesn't matter how much research you do he's still going to look like an albino smurf who can't open a jar of sauce.

Yeah. . .
That's true. . .
He doesn't look concerned, though. . .
