I always worry about Soko's tank, but he should sort this dude out.

You guys have me seriously freaked out now that the Sok fight is fixed.

I got screwed on the odds, his line is -280 now-- the yakuza is pouring in yen on Minowa. The fix is in.

Re: Ubereem vs Arlovski on NYE: edit Not happening

Im really thinking about getting on Ishii here. Yoshida is an old timer now, and is smaller than Ishii. Yoshida has only had one fight in the last 12 months and 3 fights over the last 3 years, so combined with his age, and inactivity, I think Ishii has an advantage there.

The only thing that worries me here, is that Ishii is making his debut, but this is the new 'it" guy for Japanese MMA, so Im thinking they hand picked Yoshida for him.

They both have the Judo background, but Ill side with the Younger, bigger guy over the Older, experienced guy.

Ill post when I get a line from my guy, if Im betting this, but Im definatly leaning that way.

Just FYI, an olympic gold medal doesn't always mean everything.

Re: Ubereem vs Arlovski on NYE: edit Not happening

I don't like to bet on the unknown quantity, but Ishii should win by superior judo. Yoshida only wins by grappling advantage, which he won't have. But Ishii has never fought before, he might gas out. He might crumble when he gets punched. I will wait until his next fight.

I wish I had my 5dimes funded. Although I am generally against parlays, and never recommend them, I can beef up my return on Sok by adding Mousasi and Overeem (both of which are almost guaranteed to win), without adding much (any) risk.

Agreed. Thats the main reason I still have not bet it yet. Im kind of up in the air. I usually get pretty good lines from my local guy, better than an online shop. Ill see what he gives me first, But Im thinking I get it in the -250 range.

[Mr. IWS]

Re: Ubereem vs Arlovski on NYE: edit Not happening

Im reading on Sherdog that Ishii has been sick. This will obviously be a no play for me now.

Re: Ubereem vs Arlovski on NYE: edit Not happening

I got 5u on Sokoudjou @ -370. Minowa can only win freakshow fights (which I think might be pretty fixed).


I am considering Kawajiri as well.

Man, that sucks homie. Sorry about your loss. Makes my 1.2u seem like pocket change.

Re: Ubereem vs Arlovski on NYE: edit Not happening

Thanks for the condolences... no biggie though. Gotta roll with the losses.

That said... WORK. That fight was a fix from teh moment I saw the line jump. Then the early stoppage. F'n Yakuza. I am done with japanese MMA. I am pretty sure it is half fixed.

That's a good attitude. I always get SO PISSED when I lose.

Maybe I should've heeded your warning and stayed away from Soko completely. I wish I had. I obviously should've gone with Aoki straight up or just rolled with my baby bet on Kanehara.
