I payed the juice no problem when the line was better, but still would play this at the current price.

Okami is the safest bet on the card in my opinion.

**Vitooch** · 02-25-12, 01:22 PM

Boetsch will be flat on his back until he gets submitted or TKOed. This is one of the worst matchups for Boetsch stylistically.

**Vaughany** · 02-25-12, 01:23 PM

Kalikas releases Johnny Hendricks at +125, Aoki +150 and Mir +300

**illmatick** · 02-25-12, 01:27 PM

Meh, i'd give Hendricks a look. Still feel slighted by Koscheck's last decision over Pierce.

**Digo** · 02-25-12, 01:42 PM

[quote=Vaughany;13894293]Bought out of this with 20.8 units on Bader at +200. For all I know Rampage could have an injured knee and one kick from Bader could stop the fight or something! Was very confident in Rampage if in half-decent shape, but with this injury I'm not so sure, so taken Bader at +200 before it gets any worse.

Great decision bro, better not to risk on Rampage right now, Bader is coming for the fight of his life and Rampage doesn't looks like even close to his better.

i'm gonna go ahead and lay the chalk.

**rocky mattioli** · 02-25-12, 03:36 PM

even though it`s a ufc format,i`m really curious to see how being back in japan affects these japanese fighters...it`s not hard to grasp what a major culture shock it would be for japanese fighters coming to the states(i`d say much more than it would be for we callous westerners)...

very curious to see if japanese mma really is in the shitter or whether having them fight in a more familiar environment makes a huge difference in how things shake out......obviously it could affect some more than others,but i`m really looking hard at guys like akiyama/yamamoto and hioki(i wish gomi wasn`t fighting a homeboy) to see if these japanese stars show their old form on home turf.......or whether maybe they`re just not up to ufc standards.....

akiyama and hioki aren`t exactly getting handed walkovers....

7 fights on the main card?.....i just might get up off the 50 beans tonight....

Parlay it with Shields, Kongo or Pettis

**Vitooch** · 02-25-12, 04:27 PM

V can you do one of those MMA contests again? I missed the last few and am itching to get in on one. And considering the shit talking that goes on on a daily basis, this could be interesting.

4.286 units on Palaszewski at +204.15 to win 8.75 units.

Also arbed out of the 50 units on Shields at -250 with Akiyama at +306 so have a risk free play on Akiyama to win 11.2 units.

I'd play him by TKO/KO if anything. Got a few small plays on that, and got Not Bader Inside distance in a number of parlays so got enough riding on him not getting finished!

Which book are you using? I dont see it available on 5dimes.

**DiggityDaggityDo** · 02-25-12, 10:51 PM

Maybe you did it after the 2nd round before the 3rd round started?
