Cash both of them please!

**NickBaragona** · 01-01-11, 07:01 PM

Thanks, debating on the Mike Brown vs Deigo Nunes play. I'm close to taking Nunes...but just cant quite pull the trigger.

**NickBaragona** · 01-01-11, 07:21 PM

Any advice on the Mike Brown vs Diego Nunes fight?

**Poppa Catfish** · 01-01-11, 08:16 PM

Roberts with the win

**Vaughany** · 01-01-11, 08:18 PM

Nice start Bara!

**NickBaragona** · 01-01-11, 08:34 PM

Thanks, decided to stay away from the Mike Brown fight. Now I'm going a little parlay crazy, but its hard to bet straight up on people that are -300

**NickBaragona** · 01-01-11, 08:45 PM

These main card fights are tough. I want to think Leben, Thiago Silva, and Guida would all win, but man are these odds close.

**Poppa Catfish** · 01-01-11, 08:49 PM

Agreed, the main event odds are really tight. I like a few of the prop bets though, think that is the way to go.

**NickBaragona** · 01-01-11, 09:48 PM

Wow, Josh Grispi looked horrible.

**Poppa Catfish** · 01-01-11, 09:56 PM

He didn't look that horrible, he was tough and looked to submit multiple times, Dustin just looked really good.

Yeah he just has poor stand up defence, no footwork or head movement.

**NickBaragona** · 01-02-11, 03:03 PM

Ended up going 5-4, thanks to Grispi and Leben. Poor Leben, I wanted him to fight Vanderlei Silva next.

Great night, I'm glad I ended up staying away from Dunham. Did anybody get the Guillard by TKO +800 prop? I was considering it right before the fight started....

**Vaughany** · 01-23-11, 12:47 PM

Good job Mr Baragona! And yes check out Lask's thread, he made a small fortune off of Melvin's exploits!

**lasker** · 01-23-11, 12:51 PM

Awesome night for ya, Nick!

Yeah I had 3u on Guillard in rd 1 +775 and another 1u on Guillard by TKO +524... when the hell was there Guillard by TKO +800?! That was just before the fight started? If that was on 5dimes I'm pissed that I missed it, although to be honest I don't think I would have added much more because I had more than enough on Guillard by that point.

**NickBaragona** · 01-23-11, 01:12 PM

My mistake, Guillard to win TKO/KO of the night was +800.

Pat Barry to win by decision was too good to pass up, glad I got on that one.

**NickBaragona** · 01-29-11, 07:38 PM

I honestly don't see a whole lot on this card that I like. Herschel Walker's age scares me, but the opponent they gave him is horrible. Diaz to win inside the distance deserves a play as well. As others have stated, it is without a doubt the best play on the card.

**urge2kill** · 01-29-11, 07:53 PM

Carson himself is 40, and no where near the physical condition of Walker.

**NickBaragona** · 01-29-11, 09:55 PM

Wow, I had no idea Carson was 40. I don't think fight finder listed his age?

**NickBaragona** · 01-30-11, 04:54 PM

I though you could edit a post up to a day later? I wanted to recap my results from last night.

**Vaughany** · 01-30-11, 05:12 PM

You'll just have to quote it bro...gd job tho

**NickBaragona** · 01-30-11, 07:12 PM

Thanks, I didnt get to add Diaz to win inside distance for 6 units though....but I have the 5dimes ticket to prove it lol.

**larrymiller** · 02-05-11, 01:37 PM

Fedor FTW...I am now highjacking your thread

**NickBaragona** · 02-05-11, 01:43 PM

I think Fedor may win, providing he doesn't have a problem with Silva's size.
