cheers everyone!
Moving on to strikeforce this weekend, I should probably stay away but I'm throwing in a super-square parlay. I'll admit this is not really a value play at all, but rather an intuitive one (which is to say, it's probably -EV
).
Three team parlay @+157: Diaz -340 / Souza -230 / Coy -260, 2u to win 3.14u
I'll do a quick breakdown for this one. We're moving into a series of events where I see quite a few mismatches, and Strikeforce this weekend is no exception. Diaz is better than Cyborg everywhere, he has far more technical boxing, a better ground game (I would think so, anyway), and much better cardio. Plus the Diaz chin is legendary, which gives me some extra confidence in case he gets caught early. I completely agree with Brooks that outside of KO power, Jacare is better than Lawler everywhere. Souza is the better striker, imo, and of course on the ground it's no contest. I think he'll strike for a while to set up takedowns. He'll eventually get one and finish with a submission. A decision win is not out of the question either. I know Lawler can catch him with one punch but it's a risk I'm willing to take. Coy should be a much better wrestler than Moore, and he is just a class above all around. Moore is a wrestler himself but will be outmatched in that department. Coy has wins over Rick Story and Mike Pierce, which is saying a lot even if it was a few years back. More recently he lost a close decision to Tyron Woodley in a fight that could have gone either way. I'll admit I've only watched one of Moore's fights, but I don't think he has any real weapons to win this fight. BOL everyone

I've been considering a similar parlay Lask, just waiting till tomorrow in case some money comes in on Lawler and boosts the Jacare line slightly.Comment -

i like coy,too...that probably should have been a win vs woodley....Comment -
I've decided to go with Anderson instead of Jacare!

you're backing CANderson?!Originally posted by VaughanyI've decided to go with Anderson instead of Jacare!
Yeah, I like that bet too (bet him earlier, may add more now that the pride>ufc fade boosts my confidence). Probably one hedge worth considering is Belfort in round 1, though I imagine you'll throw in a Belfort KO of the night hedge as well!Comment -
ha yeah Pride>UFC's disdain for Canderson was the icing on the cake...I'll be involving him in at least 2 more parlays next week! And yeah I'll be taking Belfort in Rnd 1 or Belfort KO of the Night - whichever one offers best odds!Originally posted by laskeryou're backing CANderson?!

5dimes has Belfort in round 1 +600. KO of the night should be better than that.Comment -
I can get Belfort in Rnd 1 at +750 on Paddy but I expect KO of the Night to be at least +800Comment -
lawler went down from +205 to +190 on bookmaker in a matter of hoursComment -
My gut has a funny feeling about the Lawler v Jacare match... or maybe that's just my lunch.
In any case, I think I like a play on Coy over a play on Jacare at this point. Sh*t. Not sure if I'll have time to review for these.Comment -
I got a 5 unit play on roger gracie at -145...damn bookmaker has horrible lines. I just checked 5dimes and it is -135, grrr.Comment -
You'll have an edge with jumping on opening lines using bookmaker in the future though... in theory, as its mighty difficult to grab those openers in a lot of instances.Originally posted by xelanceComment -
true, but bookmaker has the line openers, which makes them indispensable in my opinion. if you can get a good read on the opening lines (and be lucky enough to catch the opener in the first place) there's often a lot more value to be found there than on 5dimes. I'm a huge Gracie fan in general, and Roger is considered the best jiu-jitsu practicioner in the world, but after his showing against Randleman I can't bet on him against a seasoned vet like Prangley. Especially since Roger fights so infrequently. Good luck though, I hope he wins.Originally posted by xelanceComment -
Prangleys last fight against Keith Jardine was absolutely horrendous, even though he pulled out the split decision. Gracie's showing against Randleman wasn't the best, but he pulled it out with a nice submission and I think he will do the same against Prangley.Comment -
Result for Strikeforce Diaz vs Cyborg: -2uOriginally posted by lasker cheers everyone! Moving on to strikeforce this weekend, I should probably stay away but I'm throwing in a super-square parlay. I'll admit this is not really a value play at all, but rather an intuitive one (which is to say, it's probably -EV ). Three team parlay @+157: Diaz -340 / Souza -230 / Coy -260, 2u to win 3.14u
YTD: +61.51u
I shouldn't be betting on fighters I've hardly watched, like both Coy and Moore. Wish I would have seen that illmatick was on Moore, I might have reconsidered. Moving on!Comment -
Just out of curiosity, what book are you using for those props?
I need a new book, preferably one that accepts VC as a deposit method.Comment -

thanks Jordan.
Adding:
Paul Kelly +260: 2u to win 5.2uComment -
Mighty Mouse +115: 5u to win 5.75uComment -
Franklin wins in round 3 +1300: 0.25u to win 3.25uComment -
what do you think about robertson-pierce matchup? Robertson has never fought in the UFC, but he has a solid background..at +240 it seems like a small play to me. Any thoughts?Comment -
Do you mean Paul Kelly at -260 instead of plus? If you got him at plus that's outrageous!
** Hahaha, my bad. I was confused. I was thinking of Paul Taylor v. Gabe Ruediger, and NOBODY should ever be -260 when they're fighting Ruediger. +260 for Kelly is pretty good value, though he will have to be careful of the long limbs and active guard of Cerrone. Good luck!Comment -
Which site did you find this play?Originally posted by laskerComment -
5dimes. For all future questions like this, all of my prop bets are on 5dimes!!!Originally posted by KarnivoolComment -
I don't know enough about Robertson so I'm going to stay away. Pierce is an excellent fighter and Robertson has no notable wins. I would expect Pierce to win but after my Nathan Coy fiasco I'm going to stay away from fighters I don't know much about, at least for this eventOriginally posted by xelance
Good luck.

Jones wins by submission +1400: 1.5u to win 21u
a bit silly perhaps, but just a hunch...Comment -
He could very well win by submission. Bader is going to be too concerned with elbows.Originally posted by laskerComment -
Good luck lask. My straight plays are in line with a lot of your props... let's do it!Comment -
Thanks Shagdogy, BOL tonight everyone
