Definitely had to be a hidden reason for the fights being on a Wednesday night, just a week or so from the major card.

Dont worry about it man you just went 4-0 you cant win them all.I'm shooting for 20 units and I'm not even up a full unit at the moment.


I think I'm going to stick with what I am doing in mm the last week. Last UFC event and this one I've been looking at dogs more. I'm also going to try to bet smaller on MMA and more on boxing bets and try to bet more fights of both

We'll get there man dont let it get to you.
Remember I was up like 7 units and then went on a bad run and went 3 in the whole you just got to learn from it instead of getting down

I'm sure you're right.

And honestly, I feel that Lawler gave that fight away. He started to put the pressure on and we saw what happened in the third. He should've had that same intensity all through the fight.

. . .you just went 4-0 you cant win them all.

I should be 400-0.

It's my destiny to be the Rickson Gracie of MMA betting.

Rickson is higher than Cheech and Chong if he thinks he's 400-0

Hélio Gracie disputed Rickson's claim to have had over 400 fights. According to Hélio, Rickson has only competed in fights that are commonly known and reported: the two against Rei Zulu and those that took place in Japan. Hélio alleged that Rickson uses practice and amateur bouts to obtain a number over 400, and that if he counted his fights like Rickson does, he would have in excess of one million

Rickson thinks practices count on your record

Re: Strikeforce Los Angeles June 16th Card

It seems like some niggaz would know when to just give up and move on to something else.

But I have to admire their heart. . .

Re: Strikeforce Los Angeles June 16th Card

Zaromskis was the surest thing I thought since Anderson Silva over Maia. Of course I was wrong. There goes whats left of my bank roll.

Re: Strikeforce Los Angeles June 16th Card

Thank God Zaromskis was a three-to-one favorite. Otherwise I would have placed good money on him. Funny how these things work out in the end.

Re: Strikeforce Los Angeles June 16th Card

I said:

I came really close to going with Babalu. I think Babalu's size is going to be a factor. I re-watched Shields/Lawler. Lawler was able to escape the takedown, but his striking was impotent because he was so worried about it. With Babalu having fought at HW in the past, and Lawler being as low as WW, I really think the 195 catchweight favors Sobral.

I think there will be a lot of clinching. Lawler's striking is not as great as I remembered either. I like Sobral now. But I still feel that Lawler will have an advantage the longer the fight goes.


So, basically, you are going to lose because I agree with you.

Luke said:

I've been watching their fights all week and just havent been impressed with Lawler's striking either .I'm not too worried about Sobral's conditioning ,I think he'll be fine

So basically, nice call Luke. I of course, didn't bet it as is the pattern. My new thing is that I call every fight correctly EXCEPT the ones I bet. I called Zaromskis wrong too though, but never even considered betting it.



Babalu means "little bear" in Portugese for whoever asked.
