Same. I don't see anything worth betting on this card.

I got a boxing bet going that I think has a better chance than anything in the UFC hitting tonigh(except for GSP)

If my boxing match is over before Carwin-Mir or GSP-Hardy I might throw down a 20 on something but not likely.If I do though I post it in the ingam thread

Yay for Palhares.

Palhares and Almeida have hit for Me so far. I was wondering about Diaz but wasn't going to touch it with all the unknowns about Markham and the weight.

Re: UFC 111 odds / Discussion / Bets

Final Bets:

Carwin: 1u to win 1.5u
Paul Harris: 2.5u to win 1.04u
Pellegrino: 2u to win 1.21u
Almeida: 1.25u to win 1.09u
Dan Hardy: .25u to win 1.25u
Ben Saunders: .25u to win .75u

+4.34

Definitely a good haul for me. After hitting that dry spell, it feels good to have picked up almost 6u over the last two events. I just need slightly more than 1.5u to completely make up for my recent losses. Stella's getting here groove back. . .

I came very close to making last minute prop bets of Fitch Wins by Decision at -115 and GSP Wins by Decision at +325. Instead I went in another direction. Stupid me. Oh well, the Hardy and Saunders plays only cost me .5u.

Re: UFC 111 odds / Discussion / Bets

So to recap:

Saunders got Fitched, Mir got Carwined, and Hardy got GSPd.

I was impressed by Carwin. ANOTHER first round finish, and this time against a contender. You can't say "the guy hasn't fought anybody" anymore. The way Mir just crumbled when he got hit was amazing. Carwin is legit. This wasn't even a comeback-from-behind finish like Gonzaga, either. He was controlling the fight pretty much the whole way through.

Hardy lost--and put up almost nothing in terms of offense--but he proved that he's a tough motherfucker and also a wily competitor. Getting out of BOTH the armbar and kimura blew me away. He's not ready to fight the best of the best, but he's a game fighter and will go far, especially if he continues to improve. I'm a fan.

Lost 3u. Would have been up 1u if Bocek would have got the win like he deserved. I lost 4u on dogs and 4u on Mir. Won 4u on Almeida and 1u on Pelligrino.

Good work SPX

Re: UFC 111 odds / Discussion / Bets

Congrats SPX. I'm still a way's in the hole after getting Marquardted and the string of upsets at WEC47 but I think I'll find my way out of it soon enough. 9u between 111 and Versus has me confident I'll regain what I lost soon enough. Bring on UFN!

So to recap:

Saunders got Fitched, Mir got Carwined, and Hardy got GSPd.

Don't forget that "Drwal got Paul Harrisd". I like Palhares and think it's time for him to step up in competition. But I also agree with the slap on the wrist he got for holding that submission. The sport needs a more consistent ethos with regard to whether fighters should always "wait for the ref" or take more responsibility on their own for things like stopping after a tap or even backing off after landing an illegal strike. I lean towards expecting them to do the honorable thing on their own.

I was impressed by Carwin. ANOTHER first round finish, and this time against a contender. You can't say "the guy hasn't fought anybody" anymore. The way Mir just crumbled when he got hit was amazing. Carwin is legit.

I have long been a believer in Carwin's ability to beat just about anyone, but now that he's proven himself to everyone, I'm afraid he could hit a wall. Fights where he won't have a wrestling advantage, like with Cain and Lesnar, are going to be tough for him. To me the most interesting thing about his fight with Mir was the gameplan he used. He went the "dirty boxing against the cage" route. What is interesting is that it is a strategy that normally draws the fight out and requires some cardio to pull off, so he and his trainers must have some confidence there. Also, if he gets good at that, it might be a strategy he could use on Cain or Lesnar. (BTW, I was sooooo pissed at that fight restart.)

Hardy lost--and put up almost nothing in terms of offense--but he proved that he's a tough motherfucker and also a wily competitor. Getting out of BOTH the armbar and kimura blew me away.

It's funny that we heard about how he was practicing "surviving off his back", and sure enough - he survived on his back. Didn't get him much closer to winning the fight, though.

I got mad respect for Hardy, that dude was in some bad spots, and wouldnt tap.
