Lol scientist, picking and choosing records. You could be a politician.
How do you know I am not?
I am just trying to convince myself, because I actually made a horrible mistake and bet like half of my bankroll on Florian and Nelson. Literally, if one of them loses, it will set me back like 2 years.
Do you know on Bookmaker when you place your bets and you can either choose "risk amount" or "win amount"? Teh default is "wager" which is equivalent to win amount. I buzzed through the process and instead of betting 5units, I bet to win 5units on BOTH guys. So @ -290, I have to bet 29 units to win 5u on each. It was after my 109 loss, so I adjusted my bankroll, and I literally have like 55% of my entire stake on those fights.
I am confident in Roy, but I am sick about the Florian fight. So I am trying to make myself feel better.[/quote:2g88tose]
HOLY SHIT, DUDE!!!!!!!!!!
That is fucked.
Well hey, I'm going to do something that I would never normally do under the circumstances: I'm going to hope Nelson wins. I'd hate for you to lose that cash. That's terrible. What a gut-wrenching situation.
Hoo boy. Well, good luck. I do think those are good fights to bet on. Struve has a striking advantage, but his ability to keep people at bay isn't nearly as good as it could be for someone with his reach. Nelson will get in, take him down, and smother him with fat.
I tried to delete as to not amass pity when Florian loses, too late.
Oh, whoops. . .
I guess I was so overwhelmed with regret for you by your story that I responded immediately. I would seriously be a nervous wreck between now and fight night if that happened to me.
But look on the bright side, if you win both bets then you'll have an unusually good night.
What is even worse, I must have been in la la land, because I did it not once, not twice, but 3 times in row... all almost simultaneously... but still.
I was like, wait what? Where did my balance go?
Oh well. If I win both bets I will be doing really damn well for the year.
But to know you are going to root for Roy, even though he is fat... that means something.

That is the hope. But I am nnot worried about Struve's striking. He hits like a little norwegian milk maid (or whatever nationality he is- insert arrogant American comment). And Roy has a rock for a head. And struve has no takedown defense. And Roy has a grappling advantage. I really see no way for Struve to win, absent coming out as a totally different fighter.
Guida, Huerta, Lauzon, and Din Thomas are no joke. They may not quite be among the very elite in the division, but neither is Stevenson, who you count as "legitimate."
Not sure where you're going with this or what your standard of "legitimacy" is.
Cmon, clearly I'm just picking and choosing like he was doing. Where's your brain at these days?
And besides, Din Thomas really? His knee blew out and then Florian choked him out. Not something I'd be bragging about.
And damn scientist, that's fucking terrible. Every time I've made a bookmaker bet I've had to stop and think. That shit is so confusing.

Triple-six killers in this motherfucker runnin shit

Oh, my bad. I didn't get it. In fact, I didn't even realize it was you who said it. That new avatar is throwing me off. When the fuck did you decide to abandon the Way of the Ninja? You didn't even consult us or anything. . .

If I had an uncomfortable amount of on three fighters I'd open a matchbook account and dump off everything I did want. I'm 95% sure you could get the exact line on the other side and wouldnt have to worry about losing a dime.

Three times? Uh oh. OK, so we've got Florian and Nelson. What's the third bet? Or is it too horrible to mention?
