    BIGDAY/HayZeus Cryste - MMA help

    I feel like betting on some of the fights Saturday.
    Entering the SBR contest pumped me up.
    I don't know a single thing about it.
    I just guessed winners/ways they would win.
    Know nothing about the fighting styles.

    So, I was wondering if you guys could each give me your best value bet so I can tail.
    Going to throw $50 on each fight you guys tell me to, so please don't make it a -425 favorite.
    If the bet hits, you'll get a thank you video and points.

    I like Henderson in the main..not betting a lot because i respect the hell out of Edgar, just feel like Henderson's size and strength will be too much.

    Some favs I like in parlays are Okami, Kongo for sure..a little less I like Rampage and Shields

    Palaszewski and Lauzon are live dogs

    Yeah... if I hit my parlay on 5D, I'll do that.
    If not, BI doesn't allow parlays.

    You usually do well on MMA?
    I just know BIGDAY and Jesus are the self-appointed SBR experts

    haha oh yeah I see now.

    Rampage and Kongo are my main picks but I got them at openers. Certainly wouldnt play them at current lines

    I'll lay out my picks later but Gabe is the dude to speak to....he's a straight baller with monster locks

    Book with parlays is key.

    Leafer, you crack me up.

    Only wager I have so far is Rampage and Kongo parlayed.

    I actually like Edgar but was hoping line would continue to fall for him to be +EV. Still might be after public sees how big Henderson is compared to little Frankie.

    I personally think this will be a favorite card. Maybe only 1-3 dogs cash imo. GL

    I like kongo quite a bit..that said, it's a heavyweight fight and one punch can end it..I usually check Vaughany's picks along with a few others and if they like the same as me, I feel more confident.

    Threw $30 to win $42 on BART PALASZEWSKI.

    Sounds like a winner based off name alone.

    I agree with many above that the 2 safest bets on the card are Kongo and Rampage....if you're looking for some underdogs who have really strong chance of an upset it would be Eiji Mitsuoka and Ben Henderson.

    I agree with JC here...

    Though one thing worries me about Page...

    Page's motivation after the loss to Jones -- will he still have it, after likely realizing he ain't gonna be sniffing that belt again. I tend to think he'll at least be motivated back in the land of his glory, for this fight at least. Already have some on Page, and am waiting to see what shape he comes in at weigh-ins, which might cost me a juice penalty... whatevs.

    I'm waiting for popularity steam to come in on the Fireball Kid, and then plan to make a play on Mitsuoka.

    I dont think "motivation" will be an issue at all. He's never been in to the whole training and being strategic thing. Whether motivated or not, he was never going to train as hard as Bader trains or be in comparable shape to Bader. But at least he is back fighting in Japan - a fight he was campaigning for and almost fell out with Zuffa over because they didnt offer him a fight at first. He wont wanna look like a chump in the place that made him what he is. The fact that he is saying "I don't care if I win or lose" may seem like he isn't motivated and may be worrying at first glance. But I'm actually glad he's saying that. Means he is going to fight like he use to - throwing caution to the wind, not constantly worrying about being on the defensive like he perhaps got tied up in in previous fights against likes of Machida and Rashad. Hopefully this will mean he will be pushing forward from the start. This is what I want to see when fighting somebody like Bader, constantly pushing forward applying pressure. Bader isnt good when stepping back on his heels, his counter striking is mediocre - his striking is only potentially dangerous when he's charging forward with the big over-hand right.

    Cmon BigDay,you might not be the best but your definitely one of the better MMA cappers on the site.I watch a lot of MMA fights but I tail a lot of your plays. Everytime I hear Kongo's name,I cant help but think of the fight last year when he came out and got waffled,looks like the fights over, and somehow Kongo gets up and knocks the dude flat the fukk out.

    not downing you, you have a very high opinion of yourself and go to any means necessary to get your points across..it is funny all the debating that you do, which cracks me up..If that makes me a ratard, so be it

    I defend myself when haters talk shit, so I have a very high opinion of myself? And that makes you uncomfortable because you have a low opinion of yourself? I'm not sure I get it.

    For the record, it is news to me that saying I'm smart and do well at capping UFC means I have a high opinion of myself lmfao i can't take you seriously, you're just trolling.

    Henderson and Bart are nice dogs worth playing

    Okami, Rampage, Shields, Kongo are favorites that should cash

    never once said that you were smart and do well at capping...just never seen anyone go with the constant back and forth "defending yourself", must have little man's complex or something..who gives a fukk what the haters say and go about your business..

    In other words, you've never seen anyone get hated on so much and be put in a position where they have to either respond or ignore? Because I don't ignore them, I have a little man's complex? lol

    You said I think too highly of myself or whatever... and only evidence of that is talking positively about my UFC capping and mentioning that I'm smart... I haven't talked myself up in any other regard, I don't think. So your accusation pretty much holds no ground.
