Re: Ultimate Fighter 12 Finale

Weird to see WEC fighters listed for a UFC card.

Damn, I went to bet on Paixao and he was already down to -160... going to wait now.

Why do you want to hurt?

Re: Ultimate Fighter 12 Finale

On the flip side Rich Attonito is looking pretty good. Why do you think Branch should win again Scientist?

Re: Ultimate Fighter 12 Finale

Anyone know how the MMA awards are decided? Is it from online votes by any chance?

Re: Ultimate Fighter 12 Finale

I think Branch has more tools, is a better grappler, better striker, and the takedowns will be comparable. Branch was doing pretty well with Harris until the slam KO. He was losing, but it was competitive. I just don't think Attonito is as good. But if Branch comes in with the wrong gameplan, I Attonito could totally win a decision.

I think someone said it was an online poll for the awards in the other thread

Re: Ultimate Fighter 12 Finale

I don't know if takedowns will be comparable. Gerald did get Branch down every single round. Attonito is a former D1 wrestler as well, I don't know how good though. BJJ advantage obviously goes to Branch though. Striking could too, I have no idea.

Re: Ultimate Fighter 12 Finale

Harris is a pretty good wrestler though. I think I may just stay away from this one. I may be changing my betting strategies a bit, though I just placed a bunch of dumb bets on the mma awards. I hope they at least even out.

^^ Degenerate. Who did you take?

Re: Ultimate Fighter 12 Finale

fight of the year Brock Lesnar Shane Carwin. This one got a lot of attention and it probably had the most people watching it. I think that should equal out to more votes.

Sub of the year. Anderson Silva over Chael. who knows who will win

Best media pub of the year. Inside MMA. it was +475. I should not have bet any of this crap.

Re: Ultimate Fighter 12 Finale

My new betting strategy is/should be going heavy on a couple of fights I think are "locks". Like Jon Jones over Ryan Bader and Kenny Florian over Evan Dunham. I can place 10 little bets on diff fights or 2 bigger bets on 2 different fights..I see placing the smaller number of bets as the best idea because I am putting everything in the bets that I feel most confident in.

I'm with you on Jones, but I think going heavy on Florian could come back to fuck you. My view on that fight is that the right play is whoever comes in as a dog.

I hear you, but this strategy just backfired on me with Machida over Rampage.

Re: Ultimate Fighter 12 Finale

Edman, basically doing an anchor system... a lot of people bet this way.

For me 2011 is the year I get serious. It was supposed to be 2010, but I had 2 or 3 times I lost it and went crazy chasing. I still had an ok return for the year (about 50%), but I have made a comeback lately to mitigate the damage I did on the Sharkfights debacle and I did some stupid shit along the way (all in on lil Nog) that just happened to go my way.

I am still experimenting with my parlay project, but if I lose my bankroll I have set aside for that, that's it. But so far, I sort of believe in the magic parlays. Trying to be picky about my bets and just be patient. But, it is on.

Haven't you done that twice already? Once on Soko and again on Hathaway?
