UFC: TUF 8 Finale

Holy shit! Vinny Magalhaes at +200! WTF! What am I missing????

I just booked 5x on Vinny at Bookmaker. These lines have to be wrong. I think they should be they opposite.

What?!?!?! WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!! POUND IT POUND IT!

That's bizarre.

Vinny is now -130. Did you grab him at those incorrect odds? Will they stick?

I did. I put a lot on him at +200. Now the only question is "do I put any on Bader?" Vinny is -165 at Bookmaker and Bader is +135. By fight time if Bader is anything close to +200 I guess I should put the same on him and assure me some $$$, right?

Why even waste your time. Vinny is a far superior fighter. Those opening odds were just bizarre.

Vinny's striking is awful, and Bader is a wrestler with great sprawl and comes from a very tough camp. I will bet Vinny but I think you're getting way too hyped up. Vinny has already lost twice in his MMA career while Bader is 10-0. By the way Vinny has lost as recently as March and it was to a guy with less than 5 fights so you can't use the excuse that he was young.

yeah...don't let all the underachieving jitsu-less creampuffs vinny beat on the show lead you to believe this is an easy win...the value is in bader now...

also like kaplan...getting wayyyy to much...junie has NO heart

**Bread** · 12-12-08, 07:18 PM

I like Kaplan too..but all over Vinny.

Dana White wants to make an anti-star out of Junie. Hence the uneven match-up. Junie will win this fight, unfortunately. I want nothing more than to see this kid knocked straight out of his black toenail polish. Browning is the mental equivalent of the most despised fighter in the UFC (in my book), Nate Diaz.

The Magalhaes/Bader fight will be interesting. Bader may possibly win, but Vinny will have more longevity in the UFC. Bader is better suited to entertain activity night at an Assisted Living Facility.

Eliot was my favorite this season. I wish the coaches would do a better job matching the final fights. I would have loved to see Eliot in the finals.

Bookmaker has pulled the odds on Magahales vs Bader fight. I guess I won't be able to hedge now!

Is that match-up REALLY that close? Come on now. Bader may be strong, but he doesn't bring a whole lot to the table. He looks better suited as a meat head lineman. I guess we will have to wait and see.

Styles make matchups. Bader is an All American wrestler with great sprawl while Vinny is a sub expert with poor stand up.

I made a lot of money betting Dan Henderson against Pahlares which was a very similar matchup. Henderson a great wrestler used his sprawl and striking to take a decision. Bader isn't a great fighter but the Vinny hype is out of hand.

I have money on Vinny but I'm just not sold on people making it a stonecold lock like they are trying to.
