UFC 162 Silva Vs Weidman (July 06, 2013)

[Das Jax]

Sure am!

Your method seemed to involve a few too many hurdles and came off kind of spammy. Going big on Weidman is my clearest path for easy cash.

BOL to grab, rocky and others

In retrospect, I can see how the phrase "easy cash" would trip a few alarm bells... but the phrase is accurate. Like I said, I'd gladly take the same deal from anyone offering it. I took the time to explain the situation and the offer as clearly as I could and I think anyone who considers it objectively will agree it holds water so I'm not sure what else to tell you. Ah yes, I can think of one thing actually... Silva ITD was the first bet I made after opening the account at Sportsbet. Your Weidman money is already gone!

Pathetic focking troll.

Pathetic focking troll.

Right... the guy posting a three word sentence is calling me a troll. Ok genius, I took the time to explain my offer in detail. If you don't like it, why don't you (or anyone else for that matter) take the time to explain the problem with my offer? I thought a forum full of supposedly high-caliber cappers would take me up on this in a second.

[Educ8d Degener8]

20% of a $50 credit, so you are offering 10 whole bucks?

[NunyaBidness]

20% of a $50 credit, so you are offering 10 whole bucks?

Freeplay credit, so its worth around $6.

[Das Jax]

20% of a $50 credit, so you are offering 10 whole bucks?

Correct... except that it has to be freerolled before it cashes, so I'm potentially offering nothing at all. Now that I think it through though, since I get to select the hypothetical bet, I think I'd like to bet it on Tokudome tomorrow night. I see the fight as a toss up, but if he wins it would close to double the amount in question. Hell, if you want, we can let it ride after that and find something else to bet on. I'm not saying we're talking about huge stakes here... what I'm saying is that we have an opportunity to leverage my situation into prying a few extra coins out of the bookie's coffers and it seems stupid to leave that money (however small it is) on the table. If I had a local friend who could help me out with this I'd obviously do it with them, but since that isn't the case I'm electing to use the internet. The split is skewed in my favor because I'm the one making the proposition and fronting the money in the first place. Really, what do you have to lose?

Also, since Bovada has an "A" rating from SBR, I'd like to max out their referral offer ($100) as well.

[Fragoel2]

Some 0.5$ props for ya:

Siver KOTN +1650
Tokudome by sub +1175

I don't like either of those, but I like how you think (I don't like Siver, but I'd definitely consider Swanson KOTN at those odds). New plan boys. The play is now to place the $50 freeroll on Anderson wins in the 5th round. At +2200, a $50 bet becomes $1150. 20% of that is $230. If someone with a Bovada account takes me up on the offer, we'll try making a couple of similar longshot bets.

lol - don't you just love it when a plan comes together

[Vaughany]

I'm not banned no more so I can fawk around with some graphics...

Haha

[Das Jax]

lol - don't you just love it when a plan comes together

I do indeed, but this is not one of those times. I posted the offer in this thread because I'm most familiar with MMA betting, but since no one seems to be taking me seriously I just reposted it in the Players Talk forum instead. Carry on.

[Rubber Guard]

Pal, you've been crying for focking days. All butthurt over anyone picking against your soul mate. Shit is focking embarrassing. And oh yeah, you are a phaget.

Are the stories true that you made a thread pronouncing your love for an internet personality (defacto) and in his honor do a crappy job of slinging insults to everyone in a very boring way?

Surely you wouldn't miss an anonymous internet poster that much....would you?

[oldscho0led]

Not completely sold on Weidman winning this match. Silva has a great take down and ground defense. Excellent stand-up. The only way Weidman wins this match is if age catches up w/ Silva which is non-evident from his last match.

[Demonata]

Goos Luck everybody on there UFC bets today. Let's have some good fights and make some good money.

[Thor4140]

I wouldn't want to be a Pierce backer at those odds with his size disadvantage. When i said it about Kennedy i do realize Kennedy is a bull but Pierce is a solid fighter but does nothing spectacular.

[Vaughany]

Yee mitchell has big size advantage for sure

[Rubber Guard]

Pierce is a pretty damn good fighter in my eyes. Top 10 WW.

Pierce can beat a lot of top guys, but I feel like he might be declining a bit. I wouldn't rank him in the top ten at the moment, but that's because the division is so deep. GSP, Hendricks, Maia, Condit, Burkman, Kampmann, Ellenberger, MacDonald, Diaz, Saffiedine. That would probably be my top ten right now.

[PunisherIND]

Indio? Too premature?

[MD]

Indio? Too premature?

Too premature. The Fitch loss looks less and less impressive the more we see of Fitch. It's kind of a difficult situation, because part of the reason it was so impressive is because it looked like the perfect kind of loss for Silva to learn from. He obviously had the ability to beat Fitch, he showed a metric fock-ton of heart, and he discovered some areas in which he needs to improve, but part of the reason that win was so big is because people thought that it meant the Hendricks KO was really just a fluke, and Fitch isn't on a harsh decline. Was Fitch on a harsh decline at that point? Maybe. Maybe not. I don't know what to make of that fight. I do think that Silva showed that he has what it takes to beat top-level wrestlers, though.

Here's an interesting point: I think Condit is elite and an utter beast, but as I was typing this, I was going to type "I think he could beat Condit", and then I realized that I say that about almost everyone. Maia, Saffiedine, Pierce... and I have a very high opinion of Condit's skills. I wonder why that is.

It is close. All Saff has done is beat an overrated Marquardt. And hasn't had a UFC fight yet. Diaz is supposedly retired....so...

Pretty much all Ellenberger has done too. I'm a huge Ellenberger detractor, I think he's one of the most overrated fighters in MMA. Very little respect for his skills. Perhaps too little respect.

what about Matt Brown brah! He's the future champ!

same. He's screwed if Rory Mac puts him on his back

[MD]

I think he's screwed if he can't get Rory down. Rory should abuse him on the feet.

[goodfellas433]

guess he's screwed all around then lol

[Sykes]

Gona be SBR pts rich. Someone should start a petition to bring in parlay betting for the UFC!

STRAIGHT BET

Jul 06

MU [1002] ANDERSON SILVA -240 (CHRIS WEIDMAN vrs ANDERSON SILVA)

301.00 SBR / 125.42 SBR

2128363

Going to start having some beers. GL tonight

[Grabaka]

You are going down Sykes....its mano a mano!

[Crassus]

Weidman 1.2U
Siver 3U
Gracie 1.2U
Pierce, Barboza, and Edgar 2.2U
Herman 2.2U
Price 3.2U

[Imsmarterthanu]

if weidman improved from his last fight he has a decent chance if he didn't then i doubt he has anything for anderson, beating mark munoz by knockout doesn't really mean much

[Sykes]

You are going down Sykes....its mano a mano!

Good luck tonight bud but the champion will remain champion tonight me thinks.

[eligibletackle]

damn - Silva's now -190.


Arb out? Just hedge a bit w/ Silva ITD -110? Or stand put w/ my Weidman bets? (cost basis a little over +225 when aggregated)



Rhetorical question - I'm staying put

Maybe if Silva ITD hits +120 before fight time. Seems vegas needs more Andy love right about now

[Grabaka]

Good luck tonight bud but the champion will remain champion tonight me thinks.

Good luck too bro

[Crassus]

Well penetrate David Price.

[rocky16]

Crazy line movements.
