Most of you probably bet on "Bisping by 3-round decision". Not sure if that's graded a win.

Lucky non-the-less; the rules call for a technical draw there. Bad reffing again.

Good call.

As per the 5dimes rulebook

"A fight is a "Technical Draw" when a fight ends before an allotted number of rounds (between four to six rounds, depending on sanctioning body rules) usually because of an accidental head-butt."

Should be graded as a technical draw but was graded as a technical decision (unanimous). Can anyone confirm?

and if so,

"A wager on a fighter to "win by any decision" wins if the selected fighter wins by technical decision or a decision where the fight goes the complete distance."

Is the technicality here that most Bisping backers bet on "Bisping-by-3-round-decision????"

ANother shiitty performance by Belcher! Dude is like Frank Mir, too "cerebral" for their own good. Can talk up a great game but just dont actually get anything going in the actual fight! Belcher to busy thinking about the next video he's gonna make about being the great "Palhares leg-lock destroyer"!!!

Belcher isn't as good as he was before the injury. Bisping instead has been improving over the course of the years (he was nothing special when he got KTFO from Hendo).

**Vaughany** · 04-28-13, 05:26 AM

Belcher's grappling has improved a lot since the injury, but that's because he had so much time off and wasnt allowed to spar but could roll so focused on his BJJ. But his striking just hasnt evolved, if anything it's got worse! Flat footed and no combinations. Rogan almost had a heart-attack over Belcher's terrible defense!

Scratch all the above, I found the following if anyone is as salty as I am:

A wager on a fighter "Inside Distance" wins if the selected fighter wins by KO, TKO, DQ, submission, or technical decision.

Yeah I hedged out of my Belcher bet with Bisping ITD and made a large play on Bisping after I noticed something was wrong with Belcher. 5d graded my ITD play as a win, I'm assuming by Dec would have been graded a loss.

Yeah, fkn pisses me off. My villante +3.5 should be a win.

All week long I've been telling people they shouldn't underestimate Healy and I pick Jim Miller in my own parlay anyway. Derp.

I had a cover. Sonnen +800 would've canceled out most of my losses from the over loss had Sonnen won in the first. So it was a horrible ending for me.

**Thor4140** · 04-28-13, 07:12 PM

So i risked 4000 to win 400 on Jones and ten minutes before the fight i realized i made one of the dumbest bets of my career because Jones could have turned an ankle or some shit and i could lose. Now if this was Mendes vs Cody i wouldnt be worried about any kind of injury. I see his toe and realize how close i was to losing 4 grand. Never again will i make a silly wager like this against a guy who has some talent. Oh and i took Miller for a bean to lose 300. Nice performance by him. His punches looked like they were in slow motion. I win 100. Great night.

I'm sober.
race/ finals week

**Hannibal** · 04-29-13, 06:57 PM

anyone have a link for the garcia/mckenzie fight?
i missed the fb prelims

**NunyaBidness** · 04-29-13, 07:45 PM

No link, sorry. It's a terrible fight. Garcia spends 50% of the time missing punches. Cody spends the other 50% on Garcia's back working for a rnc that he never gets. It's really quite boring. Cody should've been -1000 somehow.

**Dwil125** · 04-30-13, 12:28 AM

I ended up searching for this fight for like half an hour just to be dissapointed.

Disappointed because you couldn't find it? Or, disappointed because you watched it?

**Dwil125** · 04-30-13, 01:24 PM
