Wait, I'm not an MMA junkie (yet), but I thought Shogun was really, absurdly good. Is Jones that good, or is he overhyped because of how easily he won his last fight?

jones has momentum and hype behind him, shogun is very good at striking and jiu jitsu but wrestling (specifically takedown defense) is a huge weakness of his that jones could take advantage of. shoguns also coming off an injury, which is when hes had some of his worst performances in the past. its mostly a case of styles making fights, jones shouldnt be as much of a favorite as he is though imo

i know some people are saying not to bet on GSP v. Silva, but does it make a difference if i just had male homoerotic sex with one of the fighters in a hot tub? If not, no biggie.

I'm sure this is a curse but I've loudly thought for years that Sot is the next big thing at LW. I would think him a lock in a parlay against Siver.

dont ever think this about someone at the lower weight classes that isnt primarily a wrestler

Ellenberger at -150 and Machida at whatever the odds are now (-325 last time i checked) are the cool guy bets for ufc 129. bank on it *rollerskates away*

oh yeah and bocek as an underdog is a good bet as well

For what it's worth, MMAPlayground has him at -640 with fake money. -150 is a pretty awesome line.

i saw it at Bodog a week or so ago and got on it quick, its dropped to -205 now it looks like but still. i've trained with Pierson and hes no slouch but I think thats a pretty generous line especially for his second ufc fight (especially when the first was against Matt Riddle)

-500 for jones sucks. I got -500 for floyd on saturday.

And he won. Maybe if you had been more confident and bet 5x as much, the "odds" wouldnt have mattered so much.

I think I did this right. Mostly. I didn't factor in the wrestling or jiu-jitsu rules because I don't know fighters that well. If somebody who is more versed can supply that information, I'll go back and edit it in.

Te Huna (59.83%) vs Romero
Takeya (53.08%) vs Escovedo
Assuncao (59.14%) vs Yagin
Ring (60.83%) vs Boetsch
Ferguson (54%) vs Riley
Rothwell (55.13%) vs Hunt
Diaz (51.33%) vs Gomi
Browne (52.33%) vs Broughton
Hughes vs Koscheck (50.2%)
Jones (56.61%) vs Rampage

No idea why it favored red corner like that.


that looks about right to me. though if the percentages are supposed to be their chances of winning then some of them are really bad bets, ie koscheck having supposedly slightly more than 50% chance of winning yet being down as a -500 favorite on the books

Lots of fun bets on this card if you are a gambling piece of poo poo, I think Matyushenko has a decent chance at +250, Sean Pierson is also going to lose really badly and its stupid that Dong is bumped down to FB fights just because he lost to current WW champion Carlos Condit

As an Overeem superfan and avid not-gambler, given everything that's gone on in Overeem's training camp and the fact that Brock is somehow an underdog that seems as smart as gambling can get

This is also how I feel, as well.

I bet a lot of Real Money on Brock at +130 but then chickened out and hedged most of the bet at even odds with my friend. Here's hoping that whoever wins, it is in a funney and bad way

So uhhhh, my site just started offering prop bets on the post event bonuses, and they don't seem to understand how they work at all. They have Edgar vs Bendo listed at +300, then Edgar and Bendo listed separately at like +2500 and +2800 :staredog:

They probably mean Edgar and Bendo winning a SOTN or KO of the night and fight of the night wont count. If not though then that would be some cool way to be a gambling degenerate scum bag

Beting on Heavyweights is always stupid as hell!!! Its true!! But the closest thing to a good value bet on this card is Lavar over Struve at +110 because struve is due for receiving another hilarious floppy tall man KO. The other okay bet is betting on JDS and just bet 5 times as much as you can afford to make up for the odds because hes definitely going to win

This is the first fight i can remember in Okamis career where he is a favorite to win inside the distance, bodog has him at even odds to finish Buddy Roberts and him winning by decision I got at +150. I took Okami by decision just to be safe
