Bundt Cake posted:Don't bet on Lauzon against Pettis. its crazy. Pettis is a really good fighter, and theres a good chance Lauzon won't be able to get him down at all. And even if he gets him down, theres slim to no chance hes going to be the first guy to TKO Pettis. There are a lot of times when I have and would pick Lauzon but this ain't one Alright, this sounds good. Just like fatherdog talked about Joe Lauzon seems like a really good fighter too (at certain times during the fight) and I figured he may be able to win the first two rounds in a fight that goes to the decision. But I guess I'll just stay away and put more money on Frankie.

wow. bet all kinds of money on frankie edgar winning some award. So far I have bet exactly 5 dollars on Frankie Edgar and that is it. I'm being kind of a puss with this card. Joe Lauzon was gonna be my dumb upset bet but you guys talked me out of that and now gently caress.

yeah, right now I'm just thinking on betting on a few fights going to a decision (Okami/Boetsch, Shields/Akiyama, Edgar/Ben Henderson). I feel a little more confident on those.

MassRayPer posted:How did I lose money betting on Frankie Edgar?! Thank god for Hunt and Bader. Well I bet on Hunt, but I also put a lot on Frankie Edgar and then parlays. Some with Okami and some with Mizugaki and some with Rampage. soooooooo gently caress. It's kind of funny how betting big on BJ Penn caused me to stop betting for a few months after he lost to Edgar and now Edgar has pretty much cleaned out my bankroll. This mother loving jersey kid is never gonna let me win.

I thought Demetrious Johnson had to work to keep muscle on at 135 (similar to how Diego Sanchez does for 170)? So wouldn't Johnson be just as fast if not faster at 125 after he sheds some of the excess muscle? Either way Demetrious Johnson is too cool to lose to anybody other than Domin8r.

fatherdog posted:The question isn't "Will Johnson be as fast at 125" (he will, obviously), it's "Will he be as much faster than other 125ers as he was 135ers?" If he's so fast he's got a huge speed advantage over even other 125ers, that's one thing; if he's fast but not so fast that there's a big difference between him and the guys he's facing now that's something else. Ahh. I thought it was an issue about him cutting weight. Nevermind then.

Intel&Sebastian posted:I saw a headline that said Cormier opened up as -2000 on Staring. it means you would have to bet 20 dollars to make 1 dollar off of Daniel Cormier. you could risk 100 dollars, which is a lot of burgers and beer, and barely make enough to buy another burger or a beer. conversely, you could bet the cost of one burger on Dion Staring and then basically win a year's supply of burgers. yeah.

fatherdog posted:Marquardt is staggeringly overrated, but the one area in which he is as good as advertised is cardio, and that makes me leary of an Ellenberger bet since he always fades down the stretch. I think Ellenberger tried showing in that Hieron fight that he can be a little fresher going into the 3rd round if he paces himself better in the 1st. That made for a somewhat boring fight but he may do something similar again for the Marquardt fight. I hope not since Jake Ellenberger needs a cool fight again.

also Mousasi is really weird about training for fights, where he doesn't actually train for them at all, while Gustafsson trains pretty hard and has a good camp over at Alliance. And you also have to factor in "one of these guys nearly lost to keith jardine. RECENTLY." and decisioning Shogun isn't a terrible thing. He's very tough to finish and took Jon Jones three rounds of beating him senselessly to get the fight stopped. The Thiago Silva fight was weird though.

I know James Te Huna looked okay after that first round with Ryan Jimmo, and Glover Teixeira hasn't looked good since that first round with Fabio Maldonado, but a stoppage by Te Huna is a wild bet.

I like Pyle for his veteran grittiness and mullet haircut but Story is gonna win. Pyle should be the better striker but Story is a tough dude (not including the Maia fight where he literary bled out his face from a neck crank) and I think Story is going to wrestle him against the cage a bit. If Pyle does pull off the KO win then that would be cool

fatherdog posted:What matches, exactly, has Okami demonstrated this alleged lack of heart in He seemed to give up in the Silva fight after he couldn't take him down in the first and then got jabbed a couple of times, but most guys end up like that when facing Anderson Silva so that's not a knock against Okami. However, in the Boetsch and Lombard fights I think Okami showed a slight lack of heart. Boetsch started pressuring him a bit he didn't know how to react and then got TKO'd, and then recently when Lombard came on strong in the 3rd round he almost got TKO'd again, but Lombard kind of sucks so Okami was able to recover. Okami hasn't been put in a situation too many times because he's better than most people in the division, but when he gets pressured he doesn't seem to react very well to it.

Agreed. Bader almost beat the guy about to fight Jones for the title, and in general aside from losing to Tito Ortiz, Ryan Bader hasn't had too many embarrassing MMA moments. Perosh is old and "goes for it" and That's gonna be a round 1 finish for Ryan Bader unless he fights conservatively.

I read some cockeyed conspiracy theory about Schlemenko vs Tito being a work for Tito to win and as insane as that sounds I believe anything is possible in Bellator so my advice is either bet on Tito or not at all, probably not at all cause this is MMA betting we're talking about here

If that prop bet means Dillashaw gets the most takedowns of anyone on the card then that's a bad bet. Michael Chiesa's whole gameplan is taking people down. But if it's only for the Barao fight then it's worth a shot.

I could see Dillashaw getting one or two takedowns and Barao getting back up quickly and going back to work on murdering him standing, so it's alright. What are the odds on Lawler getting the most significant strikes? Mizugaki would also be good for that one if the line isn't too crazy
