DWCS 5 (August 8. 2017)

**Shagdogy** · 08-08-17, 08:15 PM

Do we have the first submission to win a contract? Maybe. That was a nice showing for Perez.

**Rich Benjamins** · 08-08-17, 08:16 PM

[QUOTE=Rich Benjamins;27133759]OK, I've placed my bets. I bet on Petties small at +280. Betonline has better odds than 5Dimes right now. I've got Simon at -400. It's not nearly the deal that we got last time on Phillips, but I'll take it. He's the one the show is setup to win. I also have small on Rodriguez and Perez. I bet on Perez because I don't think Gray belongs in the UFC. The following are some of my notes, they're sloppy but iiwii.

You gotta look at how a guy fights and think - do they belong in UFC? If not - fade. But I couldn't find any recent videos on Perez.

**JIBBBY** · 08-08-17, 08:16 PM

You can give this kid a contract.. You could tell he fought like he wanted it.. Perez looks solid to me..

GOOD CALL RICHY RICH!!!

Thanks Jibbs!

**Rich Benjamins** · 08-08-17, 08:25 PM

You also gotta fade the scary looking guys. Sims looked really scary but he was a pussycat in the ring.

**Rich Benjamins** · 08-08-17, 08:30 PM

Wow, this one is evenly matched. Petties shouldn't have been a big underdog.

**Shagdogy** · 08-08-17, 08:31 PM

1-0 Petties IMO. Great speed.

**Rich Benjamins** · 08-08-17, 08:34 PM

Petties is putting his back on the fence too much. Another case of a dude who don't know how to counterstrike , he just runs away letting his opponent flurry without consequence.

**Shagdogy** · 08-08-17, 08:37 PM

I think Petties had a screwed up right ankle. He slipped in the first, took a couple steps later where it looked like he rolled it a few times, then fell down in the 2nd ultimately. He wasn't handling Arce's pressure in the right way at all, but I think something weird happened there.

**spurginobili** · 08-08-17, 08:40 PM

Alright, got the under in this last one...let's go

**Shagdogy** · 08-08-17, 08:45 PM

Added some straight plays on Simon and Perez that I didn't place here... up 3u if Rodriguez wins, or down .5u. A little different on the posted plays here. Kid got me frustrated tonight, got to drinking after bedtime and strung some bets. Let's go Slow Mike! Jones gonna gas and get tagged up.

**turbozed** · 08-08-17, 08:48 PM

Holy shit Rodriguez. The timing on that was insane.

He basically threw two significant strikes and the 2nd one was the KO. Crazy.

**JIBBBY** · 08-08-17, 08:49 PM

That under worked..

.. Lights out..

**Shagdogy** · 08-08-17, 08:49 PM

Very nice job. I like this guy. Thought about doubling down on my parlay. Wish I had. Jones got KO'd there but it wasn't gonna matter, that dude can't hang in the striking.

**spurginobili** · 08-08-17, 08:49 PM

Thank God, the way that started I was a little worried

**Rich Benjamins** · 08-08-17, 08:53 PM

Very well done, Rodriguez. Looks like we got a potential contender as he can only get better.

**Shagdogy** · 08-08-17, 08:57 PM

Rodriguez has a real nice skill set and his build and athleticism look real nice. Dude has fought TEN TIMES last two years. I'm a fan. Gonna keep an eye on him.

Lost a few bucks but it's basically a wash.. Happy to survive to be honest for throwing darts at a board.. I gave it a try..

**Rich Benjamins** · 08-08-17, 10:13 PM

Yea, i didn't even watch any fights by Perez. This game is half who you're betting on and half who you're betting against.

Great performance by Perez and great call Rich B.

Rode with you on this one because Gray's style just doesn't work at any decent level.

**Sanity Check** · 08-09-17, 01:43 AM

Alex Perez has 4 losses. 3 losses by submission. Kevin Gray has 5 wins via sub.

I thought Gray might pull the upset. Nope, nope, nope.

BTW did anyone notice Gray fought at 125 lbs.

He might have gone as high as welterweight in previous fights though.

**PaperTrail07** · 08-09-17, 10:31 AM

Figured Sims would atleast have SOME knowledge LOL....thanks shag for spooking me into the over as well

**Shagdogy** · 08-13-17, 11:01 AM

[QUOTE=Shagdogy;27134503]^ read the rest Jibbs. I'm gonna play some small stuff. All I was saying was betting aside, meaning not taking into account the lines, the two I'm most confident in winning tonight are Simon and Rodriguez. Here's my plays:

Rodriguez/Simon parlay, +106, 1.5u
Petties +200, .5u (bad line)

That's all, but I'm tempted to just string bets on this card until I hit 1-2u profit and quit. I think that's doable, but prob a bad habit..

Added Sims -110 for .73u just cause I feel like gambling. [/QUOTE]
Card Total: 1-2, +0.36u

YTD: 76-64, +20.26u

**Sanity Check** · 08-14-17, 03:07 AM

NFL pre-season has been brutal.

I'm like 0-4.

Is pre-season worth betting, should I skip it?

I quite NFL entirely. Would never bet preseason. MMA is where it's at for me.
