I'm not sure who you are referring to

[SPX]

You really don't remember?

I kind of like Ryron and Renner. I've watched their "combatives" videos. They have pretty good production value -- clear sound and they do things from multiple angles.

It's not really fair of me, but I remember Performify as the guy who came out of semi-retirement to make one last big prediction he couldn't resist telling us all about: how Brock Lesnar was a great bet over Cain.

Yes, zY is fond of reminding us of that as well. But we all should know better than anyone that sometimes you just get shit wrong. It has happened to all of us.

Overall, I appreciated his contributions. He was always quite thorough in his write ups and had a pretty good run, at least for a while before he hit a slump (which also has happened to all of us).

BOL that Brock/Cain shit is always worth a read.

Getting shit wrong is one thing, but this is Lesnar dick-riding to the extreme. He even says the only way Cain can win is from an early stoppage.

It's true, that's why I say I know I'm not being fair. But it just so happened I only started reading his stuff a little before he quit, so the Lesnar/Cain prediction is basically the only memory I have of his picks.

Oh, I really started with Performify and Junkie's gambling guide (which seems to have been removed from the site . . . that's unfortunate).

I read the gambling guide and his write ups and then opened an account. Then I started posting on Junkie's wagering forum, and in wagering threads on Sherdog, and then Zak found me and invited me over. The rest, as they say, is history.

I used to wait impatiently for Performify's write ups for every event before making final bets. And if he didn't post one I'd get pissed off.

Speaking of the wagering forum on Junkie, that shit appears to pretty much be dead. That's unfortunate because it used to be a decent spot to discuss shit. Bulz at our forum with 10 members having 20x the traffic of some shit on Junkie.

This is interesting, but crazy. Not sure why other drivers aren't honking their asses off.

It's true. Best kept secret on the Internet.

Since I know everyone here loves the Fast & Furious franchise so much, I figured I'd post this discovery I made. Apparently they made a 6 minute short film tying together TF&TF and 2 Fast, showing Brian's journey from LA to Miami.

Here you go:

Im seriously concerned about your infatuation with these movies X.

I remember when I first got into betting. I think I looked at Performifys every once in a while. Also liked this guy at Therx called Braniac. Just dug up his old thread.

Hes been long gone though.
