UFC 129 toronto GSP-Shields

So IF GSP loses...what are you gonna do? Reload?

Bookmaker just let me cancel my GSP over Silva bet, so that freed up a couple units.

I am thinking about doing that too..but +190 is too good to pass up just in case it actually does happen this year

[Thewisemann]

Thats how i felt also, i had GSP at +180, but its too far off. Im not reloading, im cashing out regardless (if any is left). I need the money now. I willleave a little in and either go kamakazee or reduce my units. I reload later in the year.

sucks when life intervenes in your gambling plans. Good luck on those bets man... it is pretty hard core betting money on those parlays that you actually need. I am going to be pulling for you.

[poopoo333]

My theory:

GSP beats Shields

GSP fights at MW to get accustomed to the weight class

Silva beats Okami

Silva vs GSP (if he wins at MW) on the NYE show. NYE is on a Saturday this year.

I jumped on the Machida/Aldo/GSP parlay.

@ + odds, I think it is worth a play... I might join in for a small underdog sized bet.

As for GSp/Silva, it is never going to happen. They are talking about Silva/Jones now... with SF merging, there are some new matchups (Jacare/Silva!, Diaz/GSP). I don't think it will ever happen.

I agree. I think Silva will lose decisively to someone before the GSP fight gets lined up, and after that point the superfight will lose most of its appeal. (In the same way that no one's clamoring for Fedor vs. Lesnar anymore.)

I don't think gsp wants to fight silva

I don't think gsp wants to fight silva

That is the impression I get as well. Although, I think it is more that he doesn't want to go up to MW. He keeps talking about Roy Jones going up and then not being able to come back down... I think he is worried about throwing off his whole chemistry by bulking up. I don't blame him, as much as I would like to see the fight, GSP really has nothing to gain from it. I think he knows that and is asking for a shitload of money to make the move to 185.

[edman5555]

I never thought of the money thing. Smart thinking

[Luke]

I agree.

But ask yourself this: Could a bulked up GSP beat a middleweight Dan Henderson who had just had a bad weight cut and gassed out in the second round?

no .....GSP would have never made out of that first rd , ask Matt Serra

[Luke]

By the way, if Shields actually wins, there will be no end to the amount of shit Luke's going to give us.

Shields. Must. Not. Win.

IF he wins I'm not going to brag .I've never bragged before so this wouldnt be any different . I just think Shields has a better chance that the odds are giving him . I only have 1.3 units on him which is actually a small play for me so its not like I'm going to be crushed if he loses ,its just like any other play to me

[SPX]

I don't think gsp wants to fight silva

I agree. It's definitely not Silva who's holding this shit up. In fact, just the other day I read:


"Georges St-Pierre is one of the best," Silva said through an interpreter. "He's shown that he's a great athlete, and I really train hard everyday to fight the best. I do believe it's a superfight, and it's a fight that must happen someday."
