UFC Fight Night: Shogun Vs Sonnen (August 17, 2013)

I have a tendency to post whatever crosses my mind. Generally i am just trying to flush out and compile my thoughts in order to compare them to others. I am known for my odd posting style on another forum. Its actually named after me there. I am just fishing for opinions.

Good stuff, man. If it works for you, that's all that matters. I'll continue my occassional good-natured pokes, though.

For the record, the only guy on SBR who I have a problem with at the moment is this guy:

I found a lot of distaste for DeFacto making fun of BIGDAY's developmentally-challenged young daughter, but this is more dislikeable to me more for some reason.

More personal 'cause he's making fun of betting.

F-ck off tout, why would we discuss anything with you? So you can take our knowledge and sell it to the masses? Legit question.

See, this is why you're getting banned. You intentionally derail threads for no reason and try to ruin the forum by starting a shitstorm. Will be a much better place when you're gone soon.

There's a few of us on this board that frequently post while we are flushing out.

But yeah, MD, that post you quoted was Gunshardesque for sure.

I'm picking Shogun in the upset!!! I think Chael Sonnen is just a little too cozy behind the mic these days and has lost his mojo.. Shogun I'm sure is working hard as I type on his take down defense too.. Sonnen can get past the 1st round his cardio will be superior though..

My take as a die hard MMA fan that pays attention to the little details and streaks... This is a very good free card to watch on FOX.. They finally deliver as every fight is a good one... Style match ups are crazy in many of them..

i played max/connor 0ver 2.5 at +145 but now im feeling bad about it. Being part irish myself (who isn't?) and listening to this

I want Conor to ger the KO. Maybe late in the third?

I had this playing while I put down 20 units on McGregor. Spent a little more than I had originally planned. I think the music might have gotten to me.

I found the DoggyStyle post to be hilarious. Why you would take this clown seriously is beyond me. The DeFacto comment on the other hand ENRAGED me! I didn't bother saying anything at the time because I know that sociopaths like him can not be reached or helped. The only thing you can do is throw them away. A guy like him is a piece of human trash!

I dont even see any defacto comment in that thread. wrong link?

We're referring to a post in a different thread. It's from months ago.

[Beelzebubzy]

"I don't get comfortable, I don't get complacent," McGregor said. "I went out for dinner with the Don, we went out for a meal, and I was saying to him, just because we're here now and going for meals and s--, don't think I'm going to be getting comfortable, don't think I'm going to do what a lot of these schmucks have done. They got lazy, they got sloppy and sluggish. Come fight time they show up and they're out of shape, their shots are off. Me, I don't get complacent, if anything, these kinds of things, and all this going on spoils me to work harder. I use this as motivation."


And, oh yeah, there's one other motivator: McGregor needs some more of that bonus cash. "I have a gambling problem," McGregor confessed. "I need to get back in there start making money again. Absolutely everything, I'll gamble on the weather if you want to give me odds. ... People saying I can't bet on myself. I don't know whether that's allowed. It's not as if I'm betting against myself. Then obviously there's something funky about that. But if I"m betting on myself to win, how's that not allowed? People are telling me I can't bet on myself. I don't know. I have a gambling problem."

Hah, that's awesome... I wonder if that's a common occurrence among other fighters? It would sure heighten the high of winning, but man, how much would it suck to go large on yourself and then lose your stake in ADDITION to getting your ass beat?

[mmaed]

I just rewatched shogun vs gustaffson and I thought the official scores were off. Shogun did a decent job in that fight. I wonder how he will do against a guy that has spent years insulting brazil. I have to wonder what a hard training shogun will look like.

[gabe]

How much would it suck to be a big favorite and bet your entire paycheck on yourself, and wake up inside the cage, having gotten KTFO'd by the big underdog 16 seconds into the fight and the very last thing you remember doing is placing the bet. LOL

Conor was on the mma hour talking about paddy power loading up his account and him having a big parlay busted by anthony parosh. Dude probably posts on SBR

Alot like me after waking up from a night of blackout drunkenness and finding out I bet on weird shit I would presume

[sideloaded]

weirdest shit you've bet on? I've bet on womens japanese bowling

A buddy of mine is ridiculously wealthy, so he's given me action on all sorts of loaded prop bets over the years.

First prop bet we ever had was €600 that I could successfully steal a couch from a furniture store in broad daylight.

Pickett -260 McDonald +215 at the Greek.. Obviously a backwards line, but hell ill take McDonald at -260!

[MD]

It wasn't a bad line, they just moved to +190... Holy SHIT.

[more_betterness]

Can't believe it.. Wish I had $ at the Greek!

[MD]

I am loading up.

[Ron_Paul_2012]

No account there. Otherwise it would have been ALL IN baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You better get, while the gettin's good!

[more_betterness]

Just dropped again to +170.. Wtf is going on?!!!

[Das Jax]

Dammit... no money at the Greek... and there's no way that line doesn't get inverted by the time it hits the other books. Hit it hard boys... it's not going to be there long.

[mirinquads]

Would have penetrated that line so brutally : (

A little ****** up but while the second boston bombing suspect was still on the loose I offered my brother odds on what would happen.

Bomber is killed or arrested with no further harm to others -200
Bomber kills or wounds someone before capture/death +200
Escapes +1000

[The iron sheik]

a pretty popular european book offered a bet in early 2010 regarding the gitmo detainees and will they be released before 12/2010

it was +100 for NO and I won

kind of felt bad afterwards but hey I'll take it

Yeah, not gonna click that. I'm on enough lists from the gambling anyway.

It's just an investigative journalism/news website. Nothing top secret.

I don't think he wants to be put on an idiot list. You know, that list where a big fat idiot like you belongs in.

Oh, I get it. Your a piece of anti-American trash.
