    However, you're an idiot if you think that the discussion on here doesn't affect how the line is first set by various books, and since any of us could be working for a book and anyone can view this forum, its best to keep your fat mouths shut until the lines are out. I know that is impossible as this is a discussion forum and its a free enterprise (and a lot of people take their image on here way too seriously and are pathetically desperate to be the first person to make a prediction), but if we can all be disciplined to not be dumbshits and keep our mouths shut before a line is out, I think it can only help out our prospective betting as I guarantee line setters know who are solid cappers on here...

    Barking up the same tree, I know, but I'll keep saying it.

But then again, I wouldn't call lozano's striking defense impressive either... Ill admit this will be much closer than originally thought, and psycho at good + odds is a good play. However, I still think lozano will win and if he gets down to -150 or better I think its worth it and I might play him. He is still at -175 on my book so I'm hoping they update soon, although I might just stay away from this one as it seems pretty competitive and a lot of you solid cappers here are taking Karl. either way it should be a very exciting fight.

    Discussion affects line movement as it sways peoples opinions and who they bet on. There are lots of tailers out there. Look at Performify picks circa 2008. He shifted lines massively when he released his picks.

    Ah, memories. One of my favorite writeups of all time. UFC 121. Some of the craziest bullshit you will ever read:
    http://mmajunkie.com/news/21127/perf...or-ufc-121.mma

    "I believe this fight presents one of the better MMA betting opportunities I've seen in a while. I strongly believe that Lesnar will outclass and essentially dominate Velasquez in almost every area inside the cage, and I believe he represents a great bet at the current odds.

    Lesnar is the fastest, most athletic heavyweight in the UFC, and in fact I'd say easily in the history of the UFC's heavyweight division. Velasquez is well-rounded, and while he's extremely athletic in his own right, he's nowhere near the freak physical athletic specimen as Lesnar. In short, I believe Lesnar eclipses Velasquez in every single relevant area for this fight

    I believe Velasquez's only path to victory is to somehow catch Lesnar and put him on his back and overwhelm him to the point that the referee steps in – most likely in what would be an incorrect early stoppage. It goes without saying, but being in a situation where there's very little chance you can significantly damage your opponent and you must depend on an early stoppage from the referee is not a solid way to win a fight. "

    Interesting stuff, ghost... And nunya I hear you, I would think once lines are out it the movement would be stricly based on where the money is placed, but I wouldn't be surprised if discussion and insight while the line is out did affect the line movement... Tricky game we have here fellas...

    On another note, I was very suprised to see lozano's line shift toward more fav odds... I thought it would def go down as it seemed lots of poeple not just here, but in prediction articles too, are favoring karl. Too pricey now for me at this point, he's -200 on my book (-170 only an hour ago and I thought he'd def drop more...).

    Probably gonna sit this event out unless lozano drops a lot by fight time... My gut is telling me to stay away from this card. Either way some solid fights tonight - GL and enjoy everyone

    Amoussou is at +180 on one book. Really considering a play at these odds.

    Hopefully Bookmaker adds some props like Amoussou ITD or something but I doubt it.

    Fights start in a hour and a half, highly doubt they'll bother adding props

    thinking about the same...value is def on psyco now, but i still got lozano as a 'paper pick' per se... Hoping he has some dramatic drop in his line by fight time, but don't think it will get low enough to entice me, on the contrary psycho's line is now appealing to me. In the end prob gonna stay away, but I'll post the play if I make it!! GL tonight.

    I think at the end there he was screwing with people in order to get the lines to move the way he wanted. He was hyping Forrest Griffin over Anderson Silva. I think he lost a lot of respect there, and disappeared pretty quickly afterwards, IIRC.

    Apparently some sloppy Sub skills from Killa B?! Surprising after seeing what he did to Luis Santos!

    Saunders looked good. Transitioning very nicely between sub attempts.

    He gave up top position way too often and kept getting in bad positions after submission attempts. I can't see him beating any decent wrestler at this point. That fight should have been a lot easier than what he made it.
