+1.06u

I am redefining my strategy. Going back to my old "no gambling" ways... only betting + fighters where I feel they will actually win, and also no bets over -250.

I feel like I have my mojo back from the extended break-even streak I have been on. I just need to be more selct about my bets.


Cain will beat Brock.

Fedor would wreck Brock in the first 20 seconds.

I missed every fight except for Romero -Seth and Lesnar-Carwin .Were the Bonnar-Soszynski and Leben-Akiyama fights that good?

Any other fights that were really good also?

Lesnar earned the "Submission of the Night" bonus
Each got 75k

gay. Lytles submission > Lesnar's by far.

Give it the guy that gets $400k... and has a run of the mill sub... wrong.

The Leben fight was good. The Bonnar fight was not my cup of tea. IMO the FOTN was Lytle/Brown.

Re: UFC 116 discussion/matchups

My conclusions, after a 2nd viewing:

1) Carwin with energy > Lesnar.

2) Carwin gasses sooner, especially when he wastes more energy than he should.

Re: UFC 116 discussion/matchups

I thought Leben's sub deserved SotN, because it was not only a come-from-behind sub, but was landed on a good judoka.

clearly Carwin lost because he blew his wad. He was totally gassed. I would take Carwin in a rematch at even odds.

I think Cain will beat Brock and I will bet on it @ + odds

Cain's like 6'0" and 240 pounds he's going to look like a midget beside Lesnar

Re: UFC 116 discussion/matchups

I really doubt Brock outwrestles Cain consistently. Brock would probably have to win on his feet, and I'm not sure he can do that either.

Re: UFC 116 discussion/matchups

Well

1) Streams are gay as fuck. I was so distraught with all the streams I was watching I decided to go play basketball with some friends for almost 2 hours instead.

2) Horrible night. Lost way too much. Requested a payout before I blow anymore money trying to pick upsets.

3) I cannot believe that on a countdown show from the past, Carwin's trainers said that the 5th round was his best round. A lightweight with a full gas tank would have finished him in that 2nd round.

Well what do you think would happen in Cain vs Brock?

Re: UFC 116 discussion/matchups

4 for 4 ,+ 6 units

The fights were awesome. Thank you Leben, Grove, and Madsen.

You really seem to be good at calling fights. Can you break down how you selected those 3?

Re: UFC 116 discussion/matchups

I thought Grove should have been favored from the start. leben was sort of a value play, but I thought the lay off would effect Sexy, and it did(I think he wins if he does not gas), but then again, he seemed to gas against belcher. Madsen should have been an even bigger bet after i finally watched a few of Karlos's fights. the guy is as crude as shit.

As for picking fights right, keep in mind that I recently lost 9 units on Paulo. I would have bet even more tonight, but that bet is still in my mind. I was just so damn wrong on that fight. it played out so differently than I imagined in my head.
