UFC Fight Night: Gaethje vs. Vick (August 25, 2018)

[JIBBBY]

Looking it over my books now I came out on top despite losing the last 3 fights.. Had a strong run in the middle of the card and hit some great props for value that made all the difference.. Was hit and miss to in the early prelims but never down early.. Won around $300 or so in the end.. Nothing big.. I'll take it though.. An event win is an event win..

PaperTrail prop call hedge was BIG... I don't hit that I break even and wash out on this card... Thanks again PAPER!!!!

[JIBBBY]

Vick did get KTFO!!! Justin always dangerous, was patient last night, didn't bull rush in.. It paid off for him...

Vick was talking to much garbage leading up about on how great he was.. Humbled....

[Demonata]

Angela hill losing and vick losing ruined everything. I could of made about 2800.needed one to win to make profit...

[JIBBBY]

Then apologize about saying BLACK. WTF has this cuntry become? The missing O was intentional.

He has a name and yes he is black.. What ever. .

Everything said today is racist you know that... I apologized to keep the peace even though what I said was in context to always betting on black.. Poster was probably losing money and pissed off anyways and called me out, he didn't read the previous posts to understand..

It happens and I don't give a rats ass to be honest.. I'm here to win money and not always be politically correct.. What's funny though most people that have called me racist on SBR are white guys posting and not black guys.. I get along just fine with the black dudes posting on this forum..

The subtle irony of the racist issue is...

Those who are petty and misled enough to portray every financial, social and economic issue as being defined solely by skin color are the ones labeling everyone else "racist". You make everything about race and skin color. But others, who try not to judge others based on skin color, are the racists?

If a CEO makes $10,000 an hour and you make $20 an hour you blame "racism". Why?

That's class warfare defined by the divide between the rich and poor. Wealth and wage inequality.

CEOs and the media spin it into a "racial issue" so that those who are unhappy blame "white people" instead of "rich people".

Those who gave up on thinking for themselves, believe everything they see on tv. No matter how ridiculous or farfetched. That's the real issue imo.

Most misused words today in social media for shock value are "racist" and "white privilege".

So much for going to school and studying your asss off, working hard and making a career for yourself and doing well financially.. That's called White Privilege and looked down upon...

I ignore it all these days, it's getting old fast...

Life is hard. Taxes are near 50%. Real US inflation is near 10%. The top 1% own something like 40% of all the wealth. Wages for average and ordinary people haven't grown much since the 1980s.

People are upset and want someone to blame for all this.

The media spams everyone with stories about "evil racists" 24/7.

In an effort to persuade them to blame imaginary invisible "racists" in their backyard rather than invoke class warfare.
(What did Richard Dawkins say about believing in invisible, imaginary, unicorns in your backyard without evidence?)

Overpaid CEOs making $10,000 an hour don't want a lynch mob with pitch forks showing up on their porch, to divert blame, they use the media to try to incite a race war between whites and blacks.

Similar to Charles Manson wanting to trigger "helter skelter".

So people can vent their fustrations @ someone else.

They do the same thing with feminism. They encourage women to hate men. Try to incite a war between genders. They do it with transexuals and gays. Try to manufacture conflict between heteros and homos. They constantly bring attention to things like skin color, feminism and transexuality to divide people.

All that !@#% is mind control.

That's deep Sanity...

Media pulls on heart strings for ratings is what I see going on, it's strictly business.

Race and gender wrongful news reporting draws higher ratings. All it really does for the people that are watching is create further division and stirs up racial hate...

[Teem]

Hit my parlay for Gaethje, Fig, Sanchez, Dober/Tuck FGTD. Glad Hugo talked me out of playing Krause/Alves FGTD

[Thor4140]

sidenote MJ was the biggest bet of my night, thought he lost but it was close

first split ive won in a while feels good

lets go gaethje

i bet MJ and never thought i lost but thought i was gonna get screwed. Anyone who thinks MJ lost round one should never watch fights again especially the clown who had it 30-27 for Fili. Round two MJ lost even tho he reversed position and started dropping elbows. Round three Fili did nothing to win that round but have his head snapped back a few times by a couple of jabs. I forget who MJ recently lost to in a terrible decision about a year or two ago. This one was closer but he won. Fili did nothing in round one but pressure and eating jbs. Three he did absolutely nothing. Doubt i bet anymore MJ fights. Not sure he has any power and it looks like he is going to win by a decision or lose.

I would have gave the decision to Fili myself.. 29-28 Fili is how I had it scored.. I was on MJ too..

how can u give him round three? From throwing blocked kicks?

[JIBBBY]

how can u give him round three? From throwing blocked kicks?

I gave Fili rounds 1 and 2... I thought he was more active early on and won both rounds from what I remember.. Round 3 MJ came on... Fili was fading..

[Thor4140]

round one he did nothing but press and catch jabs in his face. Three was closer than 1

Well I didn't call it robbery I just would have gave it Fili.. Glad you won your bet Thor.. Carry on bud..

[Demonata]

Angela hill was robbed. 30 27 one ref gave courtney casey. I hope that judge goes bankrupt and gets locked in prison in another country

I had Hlll by decision.. That loss stung a bit.. I thought that fight could have been judged either way though...

[Thrilla]

Gaethje backflipping off the cage.

Some shady judging on some of the main card fights.

[Hugo de Naranja]

Really fun event overall. Met a bunch of fighters and saw some great fights. Sandhagen and Figueiredo are the truth.

[Hugo de Naranja]

Very solid night for me. Committing to mostly plus money and parlays paid off. Finished the night +5.63u, and also moved up to #2 in ToutMaster. Haven’t been able to post during events on here much lately but I’m still around and following. Looks like most did well tonight. Always fun. Good job all. Will post my updated year results later.

I saw that. Keep up the great work buddy!

[WolfTicketDealer]

Hasn’t been a great start since posting my picks. Also slid a few spots in Toutmaster, though still top 25 overall. Not as huge on this card but I do think there’s a few good spots. And away we go:

2018 SBR UFC YTD: -6.91 units

Gaethje vs. Vick
Vick Decision (+477) 1.5 u

Hill vs. Casey
Hill (-135) 1.755 u to win 1.3 u

Figueiredo vs. Moraga
Figueiredo ITD (+325) 0.7 u

Krause vs. Alves
Krause (+315) 0.5 u

Yahya vs. Sanders
Yahya ITD (+166) 1 u
Yahya Round 3 (+900) 0.4 u

Parlay
Sandhagen ML + Vick ML (+139) 2 u

BOL to everyone. I will probably add a play on Sanchez and possibly MJ (though I hate to rely on someone who is a quitter). Definitely think Sandhagen is parlayable as well as Barbarena/Ellenberger WGD.

Basically broke even (-0.145 units to be exact) on posted picks. Had the Hill fight gone the other way, it would have been decently profitable. How two judges gave Casey round one is baffling, but it is what it is. Did move up in Toutmaster which is nice.

Wow in that angela hill fight 2 judges had opposites in all 3 rounds on who won and then one said casey won all 3 too. Those refs were shady as hell.either shady or really low fight judging iq.

Yeah was bullshit. I researched this card like crazy and hit almost every fight and then i lose on hill and vick. Would gave won over 2800.

We'll get the next one man. Should be some solid opps on that card.

Those 2 losses cost me a really big night also.. It happens..

Also two judges gave Johnson R2 and all judges hard Fili R3. I disagree with both even though I think Johnson was the rightful victor.

I agree man. It just sucks because i knew angela wouldn't finish courtney but i knew she would out strike her and felt she was way more accurate. Judges give it to casey for throwing power and ugly striking

[PaperTrail07]

Johnson , Fili, after I KNEW THE JUDGES, FIGURED MJ would get the nod (sal D amato ALWAYS credits boxer's like MJ)....but everyone knows it was damn close and could have gone either way.......29-28 MJ imo....

I have a hard time with it but I always try to remember to limit my confidence picking a side when I think a decision is most likely outcome, for this reason. It’s tough though cause these guys and girls are so evenly matched most of the time you can’t always count on finishes.

[Shagdogy]

Good work Shag!!!

Thank you sir.

[Shagdogy]

I saw that. Keep up the great work buddy!

Appreciate it, thank you!

Women fights are so hard to bet. Next ufc has 3 women fights on main card. Fml

Not if you’re Turbo. Just follow his lead on those. And while I try to look for dog opportunities anyway, even more so in WMMA. Betting favs in WMMA is def a losing battle.
