Cruz bores me to death

**bjpenn85** · 02-09-19, 08:53 PM

Kai kara france should hope the ufc is opening up an atomweight

**Thrilla** · 02-09-19, 08:54 PM

Paiva the favorite now. Good gamble from me to bet Paiva. Took me 5 minutes to cap.

Dog due factor. Kara-France won cuz his opponent sucked last time (Only fight I seen from both) . 18-1 record Paiva + reach/size advantage when entering cage.

Hope it hits.

Internet tough guy and patting yourself on the back.

**Thrilla** · 02-09-19, 09:03 PM

Yeah not surprised. Home cooking white power.

Couldnt agree more, Karafrance looked only slightly better on tape, clearly dog or pass.

I think that was the wrong dec. Paiva was better, made kara frances punches look completely without power

**spurginobili** · 02-09-19, 09:04 PM

Have Kai in a parlay, but Paiva won that imo

**HurlSweatPants** · 02-09-19, 09:04 PM

Rob job.

**Demonata** · 02-09-19, 09:05 PM

No such thing as a good bet if it loses. Why bet against hometown judges and a guy that looks slightly better? That's like double chance you lose.

Same. I got lucky there. Scored it 29-28 Paiva

**magpie878** · 02-09-19, 09:08 PM

No way Paiva should have lost that.

It depends...if you get a lottery ticket to one dollar with 50/50 chances of winning a billion dollar, and you lost, was that a bad bet?

I think if you get a fighter to -300, and you think he barely.....BARELY is going to win...if he wins or not, youre going to loose next event..the event after that, so the consequences will be losing money.

In this specific instance, off course, you can pat yourself on the back, but not in the long run

Do fighters fighting in hometown usually win or lose decisions? I think in the long run they usually win.

I don't agree with this.

And stop pushing your luck with me. Just throwing this out there ...If I would have killed you in real life you wouldn't be the first. I kill people for fuuuuuuuun ese!

Youre isolating the whole conversation around the hometown-argument, and i agree, if that is the only thing that matters to you.

For me, i try to find the best fighter, if he only is slightly better and super expensive, like for instance -300 then youre going to looose in the long run.

Thats my point.

Not scared of you at all fake ass thug or your obama/hillary hug avatar. It is gross though.

**bjpenn85** · 02-09-19, 09:31 PM

If arnett wins this im very surprised, but not 100%, hopefully that last knock down sealed the deal

I think fighting in your hometown means at least 50% of the fight especially if you think it's going to a decision. I really thought it would go to a decision and feel the better fighter one. I admit the other guy did look a little better in the fight though. Really did not think he would win decision though.

**Hugo de Naranja** · 02-09-19, 09:32 PM

Another Exact Pick with Young UD (30-27 x3)

**Demonata** · 02-09-19, 09:33 PM

Nice job shane young!!!!!!!!

Especially in Australia. Huge hometown advantage on the scorecards

**Demonata** · 02-09-19, 09:35 PM

I respect Young a lot. He's a class act with the suicide awareness.

**Thrilla** · 02-09-19, 09:36 PM

Smith even bigger favorite than in his last fight. This guy is good.

**Hugo de Naranja** · 02-09-19, 09:37 PM

Added:
Alvey KO/TKO (+248) .5u
Smith Decision (+420) .5u
Simon KO/TKO (+675) .25u
Simon+Yahya Draw (+7000) .2u

**Demonata** · 02-09-19, 09:37 PM

Dong hyun kim to win next!!!!!!!! Kind of a big underdog but I see him winning by decision.

Wasnt a big robbery. But I never thought that paiva was really bad. So Kara france has a typical sweet style, he looks good, aesthetically + he looked good against a bad fighter. So easy to get fooled, one should always be super careful with fighters who has this few fights in the ufc, its hard to get a grasp of the level. First now we know, ok so kara france isnt a top level fighter, he might be one day, good fundamentals, but a little bit small. Paiva for all we know may be a little bit better, or not, so...-300 in that spot, i have lost so much money on these types of matchups.

**Hugo de Naranja** · 02-09-19, 09:44 PM

Smith KO!

**Demonata** · 02-09-19, 09:44 PM

lol rip kim!!!!!! I thought he did some illegal strikes though...

**Demonata** · 02-09-19, 09:45 PM

So all favs have won so far....

**spurginobili** · 02-09-19, 09:46 PM

Thank you Mr. Smith...needed that for parlays

**dvb02** · 02-09-19, 09:47 PM

all legal strikes...

**bjpenn85** · 02-09-19, 09:47 PM

Damn, congrats to smith backers.

The quickness is hard to deal with, how can one? Take it to the ground. Smith can just pick and choose...let me seee oh an opening, going to town, bang, screw you guys im going home. Bye

**bjpenn85** · 02-09-19, 09:48 PM

Hilarous with the comments of the last shots, those where legal.....when pigs fly
