V, I have a question for you, especially since you've gone so big on Volkmann. On paper, that seems to be the easy play, and I could be overanalyzing this (in large part due to the Villefort robbery last night), but what if any affect do you think Volkmann's negative outbursts about President Obama (which apparently got him a visit from the Secret Service, and put on leave from his job as a HS wrestling coach) would have on the judges (obviously subconsciously..I'd hope), if it went to decision?

The Villefort decision was really bad. He gassed in the third, but clearly on my card took the first two rounds. He almost finished the fight in the first round. The A. Byrd scorecard (30-27) was criminal and needs to be investigated. Villefort dominated the first.
The Showtime announcers were disgraceful also. Barely made a comment about the decision.Comment -
Byrd is one of the worst I've ever seen that consistently gets assigned to major promotions to judge...either really really bad at his job or likes $.
EDIT:I was gonna correct my typo, but given the brilliance of posting a picture that displays her face, it makes my post all the funnier (at least to me)Comment -
It's a she. Adalaide Byrd. And she sucks shite. Also scored Garcia over Pham and Rocha over Ellenberger (30-27).Comment -
XD haahah the sad thing is that WAS actually a typo, I've known Adalaide Byrd was a woman (despite her androgyny)..well since I've known who Adalaide Byrd was, which was probably first from the Calzaghe/Hopkins fiasco in 08 where she actually thought Hopkins won the decision, but at least the other two got it right then. She's been butchering boxing (shorting Calzaghe by quite a few and I remember Pavlik when he had his return fight if I'm not mistaken the two other judges had that fight 99-91 and she had it 95-95) and MMA for years...on my list of awful judges in combat sports, she finishes a close second to sensei Cecil with Weeks getting the bronzeComment -
I hope u guys know that u can't watch UFC on versus 5 without drinking bud light .. it should be mandatory lolComment -

Great odds on Lytle KotN, it's already dropped to +1000 at 5dimes. I think that is a good prop to bet, considering how often Hardy gets hit..
Sadollah SotN.. Do you think it's most likely he will get a sub. stoppage due to strikes or lock/choke/bar?Comment -
That should actually be Sadollah KO of the Night, but sub for some reason! But I think Sadollah can win this anyway he wants, so I'd say there's a 33.33333% chance he wins by sub, tko, or decision! At +2500 though I had to take it the KO of the Night just in case there aren't many other TKO's/KO's on the card, there should be more decisions and subs than TKO's IMO.Comment -
Then I understand it more
I'm hoping for a decision though, but good luck on your bets anyway! Do you have an estimate of what your record for betting on fight awards is?Comment -
Not sure, I'd have to go back through all the pages and look, but I know I'm definitely up as I made about 13 units from Machida getting KO of the Night against CoutureComment -
Vaughany.. thoughts on this parlay hettes/miller/dolloway.. pays 115? not sure if i should take dolloway out or notComment -
Im staying away from Dolloway, don't think there is any value in him at current odds. Hamann's first fight at 205 so we don't know what to expect from him. If you have 5dimes/sportbet account IMO you'd be better off putting in a load of very low chance props like "Not Hardy by sub" or something. I also think playin Miller straight up is risky at current odds, fight is likely to go the distance so you're either counting on Miller finishing a very durable Henderson or counting on the judges not screwing Miller over!Comment -
sorry V i meant cole miller in the parlay with hettes and dolloway.Comment -
Oh yeah, well that's more solid! Be shocked if Cole Miller gets beatenComment -
V you keep all of your Volkman bet? More and more i like here in this spot.Comment -
how is he going to beat volkman? ko? hes not going to out wrestle him.. but its mma and you never knowComment -
He should have better striking and better cardio than Volkmann, I guess he could TKO him or keep the fight standing enough and out-strike enough to scrape a decision. Thing with Volkmann is not only is he a high level wrestler but also high level BJJ as well, Castillo has struggled with decent grapplers before like against Roller who I think is overall and inferior grappler to Volkmann. However, Castillo has improved a lot since then and is at his highest confidence ever. Although he beat Joe Daddy soundly, Stevenson was able to toss him around a couple of times, but just couldn't keep him there, he also had a couple of guillotine opportunities during the fight. I don't think Volkmann will have as much trouble as Joe Daddy at keeping Castilllo on the ground for longer periods and even working for a sub.Comment -

Risk-free arbs that won't be included on record:
Have arbed out of my Sadollah/Ludwig to not go distance plays with a combination of Sadollah by decision at +125 and Fight to go OVer 2.5 rounds at +131 on pinnacle. So will now make 5.716 units if the fight ends within 2.5 rounds and that doesn't include the potential profit from the above parlay. If Sadollah wins by decision I'll make 0.054 units profit (including the stake in the parlay). If Ludwig wins by decision I'll lose 4.363 units, and if the fight ends after 2.5 rounds then I'll make 28.816 units which would be best case scenario!
Also have a risk-free arb with the Dolloway/Hamann fight. If it goes over 2.5 rnds I will make 13.401 units profit and if it ends inside distance will make 1.26 units. If ends after 2.5 rnds will make 14.661 units profit.
Have a free bet worth 5 units on a double parlay of Hardy/Lytle going the distance and Jim Miller winning by decision which will net me 19.643 units if both come through.
Have also bought back on my Hardy play with 8.1 units on Lytle at Evens. Depending on how the pre-lims go and line-movement I may make a play on Hardy.
Best of luck all...
