Re: UFC on Versus 1: Discussion

Just a heads up if you have not heard that Versus is back on Directv. Yay.

My bets:

6u on Kongo @ -340
2u on Vera @ +210
3u on Pierce @ -300 or better (go to 5u if -200)

Good to hear about Versus but I never understood why someone would choose Directv dishnetwork.Samething just ones cheaper

Directv has the NFL sunday ticket. Thats what sold it for me until I got rid of it a couple years back.

I heard that arguement before( NFL ticket and MLB )but not everyone buys those. I had directv tv and switched to dish and its the samething imo expect for what you said

Re: UFC on Versus 1: Discussion

When I originally went with Directv, Dish Network did not have HD channels. Now I am in a contract with them. I had Dish in the past, and I actually preferred the Tivo to the HD-DVR I have now, so I wanted Dish again. I will probably switch back in 9 months when my contract is up, now that they have the HD channels.

Re: UFC on Versus 1: Discussion

Irvin is at -171 against Sakara. I'm thinking of taking that.

What's everyone think about that fight?

Re: UFC on Versus 1: Discussion

Just took Irvin at -140 for 1.5u. They are similar fighters but I think Sakara is a notch below Irvin.

I do have concerns: Irvin is dropping down in weight and he's also be out for a while. But provided he's healthy and feeling good, I think his striking beat's Sakara's.

Re: UFC on Versus 1: Discussion

I went ahead and dropped 3u on Pierce @ -355


I am seriously considering Schaefer and Marshall as dog bets. I thought Schaefer would be like -200 and I expected Vlad to be a favorite but I think Marshall has some advanatges and will beat him.

I think if Irvin manages to go 15 minutes with an injury he will win. But who knows. I saw a stat about fighters coming off year long lay offs, they don't usually do very well. I can't remember the details, but it basically boils down to me never betting on a guy who has been out at least a year.

Re: UFC on Versus 1: Discussion

I love Irvin as a fighter, but the layoff/injury problems, seem to put him at a big disadvantage IMO (see Reljic/CB).

Gun to my head, I would bet Irvin though.

Re: UFC on Versus 1: Discussion

Did you guys see that SBC Global came out with Irvin at -400 and Sakara at +370 the other day? I knew that line was fucked up and apparently they took it down pretty quickly.

Like I said, I have the same concerns about Irvin as you guys do. As a fighter though, Irvin is more impressive, I think. Neither guy has much in the way of big wins. I guess Sakara did technically beat Leites, but I heard Leites looked like shit and was terrified to engage. (I didn't see the fight.)
