I like the card Hoff. On Wiman by Dec and Barry mself and lean Homnick and Hague as well. Hague looks to be in better shape, 10 pounds lighter than last UFC fight.

I think Mitrione should be the favorite, but definitely not this much. Mitrione is so new to the sport. He has bad cardio and sloppy striking. Hague, although not a world beater, has at least an average set of MMA skills and is a live dog in my opinion.

I don't know if I should buy back on Prangley +160 at this point or just stick with my bet.

**urge2kill** · 01-29-11, 03:24 PM

I hit Gracie at the opener then bought back at +160. I'll probably regret it cause I think Gracie takes it, just got too concerned that -140 was too high being as he's still raw.

Bravo Hoffmeister!

**Poppa Catfish** · 02-13-11, 02:46 AM

**The HOFF** · 02-13-11, 08:16 AM

Thanks guys. From the looks of it, I should only be betting STRIKEFORCE. It's just so hard for me to predict UFC fights with all the cans they have fighting.

hoffy strikeforce master, do you like Cavalcante +190 vs Henderson? Thinking of a 10 unit play on this one

I don't know that I can give an unbiased answer for this one. I am a big fan of Henderson. First off, how big is 10u for you? For me that's my max, either to win 10u on a fav or 10u on an underdog. I don't think this one is a max play. I still have to watch some more fights, but +190 is a great number on Cavalcante. I would not play Henderson at this line, so you are on the right side. Henderson looked bad against Shields, but I read a couple reports that said he had a back injury before the fight, and that explains a lot. He obviously looked good against Babalu. Cavalcante was able to stifle King Mo who has better wrestling and has more strength than Hendo. It's a tough call and I'll be honest, I'm not going to be betting this fight. If I were betting on Cavalcante, I'd say on my 1-10u scale this would be like 2u-3u.

2011 MMA: 13-7 +14.70u

Pretty much what I expected. I sure picked the wrong underdog though.

**The HOFF** · 03-02-11, 01:10 AM

Contemplating a play on Palhares/Branch does not complete 1 full round at +175. Palhares has 8 first round finishes in 11 victories. He subbed Drwal in 45 seconds with his famous heel hook, and almost caught Marquardt in it. Palhares will try to grab a leg quickly and if he gets it... fight over.

Yee tht or perhaps Palhares quickest submission on sportbet/5dimes if they offer them for this event. WHich site has the +175 does not complete 1st round?
