GSP opens up as +190 dog to Silva

**Vaughany** · 02-06-11, 02:38 PM

Interesting, +190 seems good value but I dont see how GSP could beat Anderson by anything other than decision so GSP by decision is only play that makes sense to me!

**brooks85** · 02-06-11, 02:42 PM

^exactly

i thought about taking gsp but fight isnt even scheduled yet and like your saying GSP dec only bet to make for me on GSP.

However when fight night does comes around I expect silva to be the dog and I cant wait.

That would be great!

well wouldnt be the first time I was wrong about line movement lol

shields better not spoil the party

**xelance** · 02-06-11, 03:00 PM

??? How did the line open already? They still have to confirm the fight, if GSP gets passed Shields (which Im sure he will)

**urge2kill** · 02-06-11, 03:01 PM

GSP isn't going to be able to jab Anderson to death.

**xelance** · 02-06-11, 03:04 PM

what book is offering lines on this fight? thats crazy

**Eccocide** · 02-06-11, 03:06 PM

bookmaker. They almost always have the openers, especially on futures like this.

I agree. GSP makes his bank lately on being quicker than everyone else with that jab. The rate he lands the jab is ridiculous vs hardy,alves and kos. But GSP will not be quicker than silva striking,changing levels tho...

I have no doubt in my mind GSP could win a decision here by outwrestling silva but what sonnen did to silva will not be easily repeated. Sonnen took a lot of damage in that fight from a minimal amount of strikes.

**xelance** · 02-06-11, 03:09 PM

that is crazy...just saw it on bookmaker. Not sure if I am going to take it or not

**brooks85** · 02-06-11, 03:11 PM

If you are interested in my opinion Id say take GSP now if you are willing to wait. I can only see the line going down especially when(if

) gsp beats shields. But as previously said I think GSP by decision is the best bet for GSP.

**xelance** · 02-06-11, 03:16 PM

I dont think Im going to take it....no point to have my money sitting there for possibly 10 months

Exactly. Love the line but thats's too long to have funds tied up.

**Squareguy** · 02-06-11, 11:32 PM

I really like GSP here....

I wonder how strong Sonnen is compared to GSP, and I also wonder if GSP will lose any speed when he bulks up. If he can hit the take downs, it's going to be a very long night for Mr. Silva.

Of course I don't see GSP winning in any way other than decision, but excited for this one none the less.

**NickBaragona** · 02-06-11, 11:43 PM

Anderson TKO

**Pratik** · 02-07-11, 12:23 AM

I thought GSP would have open up a slight favorite in this fight just cuz he basically can take down anyone at will and has really good submission defense. I wish this line would have shown up a little later like after the April fight or something bookmaker ruined the line!

**brooks85** · 02-07-11, 02:11 AM

I hope they book this fight at Cowboys stadium, give me a reason to visit my buddy and that would be a great event. Hopefully it doesn't take much more than a year to get it done.

**sportsfanatic** · 02-07-11, 05:34 AM

gsp should be able to take anderson down at will. i really like gsp in this one.

**kiefynugs** · 02-07-11, 06:32 AM

haha its finally gonna happen

Silva is going to push the canadian's face in guys

will be putting a dab on GSP by decision though... If I still have any money by the time this one happens

**thesox0311** · 02-07-11, 07:57 AM

thats crazy that the line would be that high, still Silva will have a huge size advantage

**Fiasco01** · 02-07-11, 08:55 AM

Yeah I really don't see the value in anything less than +250 for GSP at this point. The way he win's the fight is decision and you might as well just wait until that line gets released in a few months. Otherwise tying up funds for that long with that line just doesn't make much sense.

**daimoshokage** · 02-07-11, 11:53 AM

Silva will win this... will not pass round 1.. he's too big for gsp..

**FlashinLeather** · 02-07-11, 11:57 AM

I would lay it at +190 and then play the line shift on silva right before the fight...win win, but i don't have the bank roll to where i want to let my money sit for 8 months

**omalley21** · 02-07-11, 12:46 PM

Everyone just watched Anderson KO vitor so they are hyped off that. But GSP is going to grease up and hump Silva for 5 rounds.

**playa420** · 02-07-11, 06:24 PM

alot of value on gsp as the dog

agreed. i need those who are loving silva to push up gsp's odds more. gsp is only +145 on dsi. horrible horrible odds.

**sportsfanatic** · 02-07-11, 07:35 PM

i think gsp would have more trouble against sonnen or yushin but not silva as strange as that sounds.
