Oliveira is a black belt, at leats he had one around his neck after one of his UFC fights

you're right, it was a brown belt.[/quote:9m3mbrtr]

I think his "MMA jiu-jitsu" is way above the brown-belt level.

^For sure. His bjj for bjj is probably at the competition blackbelt level too. But he just started training in 2005, which is why he is only a brown belt. There are exceptions, but most instructors follow a time table.

Scientist, did you jump on Almeida last night? Or did you wait? I almost want to throw more down on Almeida now @-175

Re: UFC 124: GSP vs. Koscheck II to take place in Montreal

Just now did it. 1.75 to win 1 on Almeida

I also pulled the trigger on the parlay.

Not Kos by sub/Not Alves by sub/Not Miller by sub/Not McCorkle in rd 3/Not Danzig by sub

4.4 to win 1

^^I was going to make the same one but using "Not Howard by sub" as the odds are better.

Re: UFC 124: GSP vs. Koscheck II to take place in Montreal

I considered that, but Alves has been caught in a few triangles and Howard has a good one.

I'm coming around on Alves. From what I have read, his weight cut has gone well. Also leaning towards Kos.

I think Im gonna open one up for like 200 bucks, just to fuck around with those parlays. they seem like you can really make some money on those.

The boxing props they have are just ridiculous. They have like 100 different props for the Klitchko and Khan fights.

I resisted it for a long time. Honestly, it is quite addictive once you start, and it is the devil. It is even worse when you start doing wiseman specials. You are like "it's only a buck, and I can win $1000!" But then you just lose a buck. I almost always do a wiseman special for $1 just picking every fight on the card., just for fun and to sooth the action monster that rages in my belly.

But the other parlays have been hitting ok so far.
That said, I don't feel strongly about this event's magic parlay.

Re: UFC 124: GSP vs. Koscheck II to take place in Montreal

I like those like:

Not Alves via triangle / Not GSP via armbar

That sort of shit. Those could be fun.

yeah, they don't get quite that specific, but that is what I target as well.

My whole thing about MMA betting has always been "control the variables." I try to pick my fights where I know what the battle will be, and that don't have a lot of external factors. So the "not' props to me are just an extension of that philosophy.

You pay a price though. If you were to bet "Not Koscheck by submission" all on it's own, it would have been -7200. I might have helped move the line, because it is -8900 now.
