Making serious coin with SBR on MMA

Vaughany · 06-09-11, 12:50 PM

JDS by sub is interesting

Swinging Johnson · 06-09-11, 12:51 PM

Hey Vaughny, like your stuff!

Swinging Johnson · 06-09-11, 12:53 PM

I almost went with Bader against JBJ until I read this guys take on the fight. That was the card where he picked every fight correctly but one.

I think JDS will only pull a sub off his back. I don't see him dropping Carwin with punches and then going for a sub. If he connects on Carwin he will be looking to finish with a knockout.

urge2kill · 06-09-11, 01:49 PM

Whos this Chris Tattan guy?

horja1 · 06-09-11, 02:08 PM

yeah ... who is this guy?

sirchadwick1 · 06-09-11, 02:14 PM

IF Carwin happens to gas again late in the fight... I certainly can see JDS subbing him, considering Brock had no problem. Decent play.

jesuseatsnubs · 06-09-11, 03:06 PM

I think he will get at least 3 -4 picks wrong for this fight ..

spurginobili · 06-09-11, 03:29 PM

That's good but don't underestimate this SBR mma sub-forum. There are a lot of knowledgeable mma cappers here.

I believe this guy is Craig Tattan and he writes a lot of the SBR MMA articles. Also Vaughny is very good too. Good MMA section SBR!

bunch of first time slammers

shari91 · 06-09-11, 08:56 PM

This is good info to know SJ!

I played my first full card last wknd and ignored the 2 picks a friend gave me (which cashed) while following someone else. Let's just say it wasn't pretty.

Going to check out the SBR article for this wknd. I look at the articles for everything else but completely forgot to do so for MMA. I would've killed for 7/10.

Has anyone noticed how spot on the SBR writers have been with these UFC cards? I read bloodyelbow, mmafighter, etc....and believe it or not, the best insight I get is from the UFC articles at SBR.

If anyone is interested, here are their picks for UFC 131 http://www.sbrforum.com/ufc/fight-card/

This dude picked 11/12 in UFC 128 and 10/12 in 129 and 7 of 10 in 130. Looks like he's getting worse! But anyway, just here to help boys. We're all lookin to make a little coin and I figured I'd add my 2 cents.

How can you find out his past record?

I tried looking under 'fight card' to see if it listed the last of his whole card picks, but can't find them...

I disagree with a lot of his picks on this one, though. I was reading some of the preview and breakdown articles from past events. He seems pretty solid!

RaiderNation MMA · 06-09-11, 09:32 PM

bloodyelbow is garbage

Swinging Johnson · 06-09-11, 10:02 PM

Lets see if we can get a link from SBR. We need proof dammit!

All UFC picks can be found here, just gotta go through for the Craig ones to check his record.

The fight card changes with each event, http://www.sbrforum.com/ufc/fight-card/ , but it does get left up for a while after the event so people can check.

Creditsforedits · 06-13-11, 03:38 PM

Tattan went 9 of 12! http://www.sbrforum.com/ufc/news/jun...sults-a-20268/

Solid!

dude... the reality is favourites are killing it right now in mma.

ufc 131 there were only two upsets, and everyone thought one was a robbery
ufc 130 there was only one real upset (story), or 2 if you call johnson/torres an upset which was practically even odds.
ufc 129 there was only one real upset (garza), or 3 if you count jmac/jensen and matyushenko/brilz which were practically even odds fights.
ufc 128 there was only one upset (pyle)

Vaughany · 06-14-11, 12:37 PM

Tattan is picking Leben by KO over Wanderlei...which is fine. But he's saying Leben will have an advantage on the ground and that the fight will be toe-toe.

I disagree with both of them, particular with the former remark. Wanderlei has better BJJ but has just never looked to use it and he showed against Bisping that he's mixing things up more now and looking for takedowns. He's been working with Munoz on his wrestling, I think Wanderlei has the intention of taking Leben down and submitting him. Afterall, Leben was choked out easily by a very green Jake Rosholt in first round of their fight so I dont see why Wanderlei can't sub him. ALso Tattan is saying Leben came out as dog, he actually came out as the favourite.

BIGDAY · 06-14-11, 07:14 PM

I actually like Leben in his upcoming fight. I'm a sucker for +150 underdogs though.

danso · 06-14-11, 08:13 PM

Forum posters here are pretty sharp on mma

The only underdogs that stuck out for me this year is Siver defeating Sotiropoulos and Story defeating Alves.

Hannibal · 06-14-11, 09:28 PM

^ and i had money on both of them =)

v1y · 06-15-11, 07:29 AM

i had money on story, garza, and knew pyle/almeida was a big enough tossup to not bet on it. (i actually hit an 8 man parlay that night)

Good luck Shari. I hope your MMA works out as well as your tennis picks!

Maybe on Bodog, but they weren't the first to open the lines. 5dimes and Sportbet opened the lines and had Wanderlei at +140....I've got 6 units on Wanderlei at +120!
