Soszynski
Lentz
Watson
Hamman
Makdessi
Hecht

Didn't mention Ebersole, but I'm taking him, too. His walk looked a little weird at the weigh-ins, hope he's not hurt. Smart money would probably be against him after seeing that, but I'm riding Ebersole all the way in this one!!!!

lol @ the screencap of me-- looks like i'm taking a dump.

[gabe]

BETS YOU SHOULD MAKE:

Jones & Machida Goes to Round 2

Makdessi via KO

Attonito vs Hecht Goes the Distance

Patrick vs Ebersole Goes the Distance

[sideloaded]

[gabe]

Wow, Walel Watson was ROBBED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Vaughany]

Yeah was very close, 30-27 was a joke.
Good call with Hecht tho, apart from fight going distance!

[gabe]

I missed the first round, but Watson clearly won the last two.

[Giblets]

I missed the first round, but Watson clearly won the last two.

I thought Watson lost the second round, pretty close though. Don't see how either "clearly" won the round though.

landed more strikes, and almost finished it with a guillotine. he didn't dominate the round, but i thought it was good enough for a 10-9.

[gabe]

very bad night for me, let's hope to recover. if bones loses, idono what i'll do lol

[Vaughany]

Bad all round so far! I need a Hominick TKO and Mir TKO big time!

I went 5 for 5 on the main card, including a last minute bet I put on The Korean Zombie on my iphone while on my way to the bar... I saw the line had jumped to like +425 and I made a small play on it.

Thanks for Calculator for coming through with the Lil Nog play-- I was down big and it helped me climb out of my hole.

Great UFC 140.....terrific card and it didn't disappoint.

[Kaladarus]

That was a great change from Tito to Nog. I had a decent lean on betting Tito originally, but too much information going into the fight made me change my play to putting a little on Nog. The guy didn't look himself, he said he didn't have a great camp and he was talking about retirement. Too many things indicating he was going to lose this fight.

[gabe]

6-6 with my bets (including KZ and Mitch Clarke or whatever his name is)
3-2 with big bets
2-3 with plays
1-0 with monster lock (bones)
2-2 with big plays
1-1 with biggest plays
3-3 with leans

Not a bad night. Was down big leading into the main card, then won all my losses back on those 5 fights, plus nearly everything I'd lost on NCAA during the week.

It really was great to change from Tito to Nog. Props to Calc for that one. Big Day, too.

This looks like a really useful way to keep records. My record is 1172-860, gotta figure out how to divide that into about 400 categories now. Big bets, big bigger bets, big biggest bets, big ball baller bets. . .

I literally laughed out loud when I saw Gabe's post and then yours! I can't quite work out whether he's serious with this shit or not!

[Vaughany]

Pretty sure Mitch Clarke lost as well or maybe I dreamt it?!

Mitch Clarke got out grappled by Cholish
Hecht KOed Attonito


My super-uber 140 play of Lil Nog won too but my primordial play on Watson was robbed

Yeah, had no idea who Cholish or Clarke were, so I just made a very very small play on the +350 dog.

Yeah, I lost big on Watson and Jared Hamman.

Hecht was a nice lean + small play I made. I had confidence he would win, I should have given him out as a big play.

I'm not keeping a record of my bets, I was just writing how my bets did in the thread. I only keep a record of my plays. (2-3 for 140: jones, watson, hamman, soscynski, mir)

and yeah, I make different sized bets. shocking?

[gabe]

Did I say he won? I counted my bet on him as a loss.

Where was Clarke +350?

[gabe]

Beelze - a "big bet" is a bet I personally put a lot of my money on. a "big play" is what i also tell everybody else to lay a lot of money on. sometimes i make big bets on fights i don't consider big plays, 'cos i'm down and chasing, or whatever the reason. my big bets SHOULD always be my big plays, but sometimes i go big on a risk, and I've paid for it before. Biggest mistake I've ever made was go all-in on Ben Rothwell against Mark Hunt. Was down and started chasing. That would be an example of a big bet I made that wasn't a big play, nor a play at all, for that matter.

[gabe]

Where was Clarke +350?

My bad, he wasn't +350

Seems like my misremembering of lines is a re-occurrence.

Seems like your inability to be truthful is a re-occurrence.

[gabe]

Seems like your inability to be truthful is a re-occurrence.

Yeah, I tried to get a fast one past you all by letting you think Clarke was +350 and not +260. Pretty bummed that no one fell for it.

Gotta let it go, man. I was on Watson too. Sometimes bad decisions go your way too.

I'm past it, from a betting stand-point, but as a fight fan, I think Walel should have had that win to escalate up the Bantamweight ladder. He goes to the back of the line due to a poor decision.

[gabe]

[PunisherIND]

Wow, Walel Watson was ROBBED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

forgot to point this out last weekend after the fights, but i think there should be a rule that yves levigne should not be allowed to ref fights involving yves jabouin. the similarities in their names are too great to ignore. the circumstances will always result in a controversy.

i thought it was funny when i saw him reffing the fight lol

he shouldn't be involved in yves edwards fights, either. though edwards mighta gotten the decision over el cucuy too if the fight was in his hometown. =/

[Vaughany]

Claude Patrick might of got the decision if it was in his hometown..............oh wait
