UFC 110: Discussion & Bets

Re: UFC 110: Discussion & Bets

It really does suck. I wonder what kind of money people drop for camps? He obviously spent a lot of time and money investing in his training. You always hear that... but I wonder what the costs are for a Muay Thai coach, for a boxing coach, BJJ, etc...

I'm sure it depends on the camp itself and how long. I can't remember anything for sure, but it seems I recall a fighter saying that a 6-week camp cost him something like $7000.

Anyone else have anything more concrete?

7k sounds about right. Heath Herring said he got 60k for the Lesnar fight and after taxes and camp he had 40k left.If you figure 20-25% for taxes it would be right at the 7k mark .

Of course its probably like anything else the better of fighter you are the more you spend on camp. Some of these guys only get 5k to fight so they cant be spending 7k on training .

Re: UFC 110: Discussion & Bets

I think I've narrowed down the fights. I'm leaning:

Bader

Nog

Silva

Stevenson

Going to narrrow it down to 2 or 3 and then bet those for tomorrow

Re: UFC 110: Discussion & Bets

Final bets are:

5u Stevenson @ -275
5u Bader @ -135
3u Soszynski @ -135
1u Dollaway @ +200

There is an underdog for you guys that like to make fun of me. I am actually kicking myself in the nuts for the Bader bet, I wish I could take it down to 2u, as I definately do not feel 5u confidence there.

* my loss @ 109 is still chapping my ass. So I have gone way overboard here, as is my M.O. My recommendations were 5u stevenson, 3u bader, 1u Sosz (no bet on CB).

I was thinking about that, too. My guess is that most of the guys who are getting 5K to show are probably still training with their local gym where they started for $100 a month or whatever. I doubt too many of them are at Greg Jackson's.

You could hedge it. Personally, as I've made clear, I hope KJ kicks him to death, but I don't think it's a horrible bet. I am very nervous for the Techno Viking.

Re: UFC 110: Discussion & Bets

I did consider hedging it, which I never do. But then again, I never make stupid ass bets that I hate either.

I am really keeping my fingers crossed on that one. I feel pretty good about my other bets though.

Who do guys have, recap?

I really think that CB is going to give Reljic some problems. After watching the Gouviea fight, I think Goran's grappling prowess might be a little over-stated. He let Gouveia control him for a long time. With the injury and the lay off, I put CB at like -115.

Hes been out like 2 years right? Thats a real long layoff, coupled with back surgery, that spells trouble to me.

CB has the sub defense of a quadrapalegic, so you never know though.

Its looking like Wandy for sure, probably Joe Daddy as well.

SPX, you doing a lottery ticket parlay?

Re: UFC 110: Discussion & Bets

My bets:

Nog: 1.03u to win .78u (definitely should've waited on this one)
Bisping: .5u to win .8u (I wish Wandy's line had been good so my money and my heart could be in the same place)
Sotiropolous: .25u to win .64u
K-Sos: 1.5u to win 1.2u
Foster: .5u to win .85u
Jardine: 1u to win 1.3u

And I had 1.5u on Crocop but Rothwell had to go and fuck that all up.

Dunno, you think I should?

Re: UFC 110: Discussion & Bets

1u parlay for 6.7u on Soszynski, Lytle, and Dollaway
2u on dollaway for 4u
.5u on Bisping for .6u

had a 3u to win 21.3u on Nogueira/Velasquez to go over 2.5 rounds, Stevenson/Bader/Rothwell to win as well as a 1.5u on Rothwell but I'm not sure what they're going to do with the parlay involving Rothwell now, they refunded the Straight on Rothwell already. So I'll have to see if the lines move any.

I still owe you $5 from the last one.

I will kick in $5 ($10 total for a super parlay).

There is almost no way it is going to hit this time though, so many close fights. I don't think we could agree on a 4 fight parlay.
