. It's tough because it would make back the curran loss.

I know what your sayin man. Im ready to start doubling and tripling my bets now, to make up my BJ penn losses.

Probably best to stick to the play, and use good money management though.

Clearly the best solution in this case is to drop your entire bankroll on the guy Mayhem is fighting. . .

In my mind, the risk is totally worth it.

Ok went ahead and put 3u on Melendez @-160. I was going to wait until -150 or better but everytime I wait for a better line it gets worse.

So 3u on Melendez and 1u on Mousasi.

Re: Strikceforce CBS April 17th fights /discussion

Oh I forgot to mention 5 minute rounds and elbows on the ground.

So we have:

never fought in U.S.
travel
boos
USA chant
cage
no magic pants
elbows
shorter rounds

Aoki is losing this. Sorry SPX.

USA

Your forgetting the fact that Melendez is only a purple belt in BJJ and Aoki is one of the few fighters these days who puts the fear of god into folks simply by his grappling skills. Even if Melendez uses wrestling he's at huge risk of getting subbed before he even knows whats happening. Melendez training under Cesar Gracie with the Diaz's and Shields is cool and all, but Aoki is a different animal from a different camp with different tricks. I realize this is all predicated on the fight hitting the ground but I really don't see a huge chance that it won't do just that.

He always does that shit to hype himself up on bets that he has doubts about. . .

Re: Strikceforce CBS April 17th fights /discussion

I'm just saying. Looking at it like that is like saying that Aoki isn't the best pure grappler for that weight class. It's not good to try and convince yourself that your fighter is god while totally ignoring the fact that he is severely outclassed in what could be a major element of the fight. Overall grapplers tend to have more success in MMA because a grappler with shitty striking can survive alot better than a striker with shitty grappling because there are a whole lot more ways to get a fight to the ground than there are to knock a guy out before he does it.

Re: Strikceforce CBS April 17th fights /discussion

I'll be honest I wont be surprised if Aoki or Melendez wins,I'd be a little surprised if King Mo wins and I'll be really surprised (and pissed) if Shields wins

Re: Strikceforce CBS April 17th fights /discussion

Final bets
Stout .07u to win .5u
Melendez 3.1u to win 2u
King Mo 1u to win 2u
Hendo 7.9u to win 2u
I am really resisting the urge to drop 4 more units on Hendo. I hope i wake up tomorrow and he is -600 so I wont be tempted.

Well, he's not. Penn is. There's a reason Aoki stood with Shaolin. But I agree with what you're saying. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he turned Gil into a pretzel.

Re: Strikceforce CBS April 17th fights /discussion

I can't wait until tomorrow night. I will be +2.36 units.
