Who is the better striker in these MMA matches

Who is the better striker?

Brazillian Ju Jitsu (sp) strikers in MMA are the best in the world.

Utah @ Detroit
Pistons -2 (-105, $1.95 Pinnacle) 3x
The low post advantage the Jazz enjoys against most teams does not exist against the Pistons. The Pistons as a team are literally improving with every game. Despite having a (solid) 10-9 record at home, they have actually won 5 of their last 6 at home, with victories over Miami, Atlanta and Milwaukee included and bizzarely the loss coming against Charlotte of all teams. The Pistons have also won 7 of their last 10 overall and are one of the few continually under-valued teams in the NBA. I hit up No Coincidences for an opinion on this game (as a Detroit local) and he commented that the Pistons are loaded with young talent but have poor coaching. Sadly i have to agree with him, but regardless make no mistake about it - Detroit, along with Houston, Toronto, Orlando and San Antonio are one of the ATS money teams in the NBA. After a horrible start to the season (lost their first 8 in a row) they have won 7 of their last 10 and have gone 6-4 ATS. Even with the 4 games they have lost ATS, 3 of them lost by the hook or 1 point. This team is continually undervalued by the books, mostly because of their lack of a big name and also partly because they are not in an NBA glamour city. I have watched a lot of the Pistons this year and feel like I have a solid handle on the team and I would go as far as to say that the Pistons in Detroit when playing their best basketball can beat any team in the NBA, yes that includes OKC and San Antonio, any team. Monroe is starting to deliver, no more waiting. Is it a coincidence that the current run has Monroe averaging 18.8 points and 11 rebounds over the last 5? I think not. Despite the wealth of young talent from 1-3 (Knight, Drummond, Daye, Singler) this is still a physical grinding team (always has been) and their future success absolutely will revolve around Monroe moving forward. The big fella has the potential to be a top 3 centre in the league and whilst 5 games is an awfully small sample size, anyone that has watched those 5 games will understand what I am talking about. Monroe is developing into a presence in the low post and is almost at the point where we are talking auto double team. Add to that a suprisingly reliable mid range J and we have the makings of a true NBA centre (of which their are almost none in the NBA outside of Bynum). Utah coming off the back2back and with a poor road record (as has been the case for years) of 8-15 is not going to make the task any easier (although the Pistons are also on the back2back).

More analysis to follow later...

Orlando @ LA Clippers
Magic +13 (-108, $1.92 IAS/Sportsbet) 1x

Miami @ Sacramento
Heat -7 (-106, $1.94 Pinnacle) 2x
*The time has finally come to stop fading these idiots. Today a long overdue double digit victory for the Heat I think. Dominant ATS stats against the Kings, 19-3 in the last 22 (ATS) and 7-1 in the last 8.

1.5x plays 56-43 (+5 pushes)
2x plays 31-17 (+2 pushes)
2.5x plays 10-3 (+2 pushes)
3x plays 3-3
3.5x plays 1-0
4x plays 1-0

Wow that was quick, good work. Are you not confident it is accurate?

*Transferred 200, give me a day or two and I'll get you the rest. Gonna try and parlay my remaining 115 into 300, if not I'll just buy some from the SBR store. Cheers.

I like your picks but yeah the prices available are a bit rough. Not playing anything tonight mate, got a lot of work to put in for the start of the Australian open tomorrow.

Thanks to Alomar111 for compiling these stats...

0.5x plays 1-3 25%
1x plays 64-60-3 51.6%
1.5x plays 56-43-5 56.6%
2x plays 31-17-2 64.6%
2.5x plays 10-3-2 76.9%
3x plays 3-3 50%
3.5x plays 1-0 100%
4x plays 1-0 100%

That's probably it. Maybe one more total, still contemplating, otherwise NBA card is complete. Magic down by 8 with 1 quarter to play. Hopefully they can hang on to start the card off nicely.

Will be back later today with an updated tennis record and my plays for the 1st round of the Australian Open. Two bad days in a row in tennis, not offended if anybody feels like fading them. Good luck to all.

Very encouraging that the bigger the unit the better success rate.

Sometimes I feel like any bet I go larger on is 70% to lose...

**One2envy78** · 01-12-13, 05:35 PM

Hey Sando. I've noticed that the Bobcats normally start off slow and today Pacers are -4 in 1st qtr. Any advice for this pick?

**usfunca** · 01-12-13, 05:48 PM

Holy shit. Magic won outright. Unbelievable. I thought about sprinkling the ML but figured that would be a donation. Damn.

**Bostongambler** · 01-12-13, 05:56 PM

Good start.

**shari91** · 01-12-13, 06:18 PM

GL Sando!!! Will be around next wknd if you're in town. If not, I'll get some good goss for you.

Best of luck with your bets, lovie xo

**tblues2005** · 01-12-13, 06:18 PM

Good Job Sando on the first one today. They won straight up.

dammit why did the public have to realise detroit are actually good, a lot of money coming in on them makes me uncomfortable

**vessl** · 01-12-13, 08:37 PM

I really like Heat today but I dont know if I can pull the trigger. The whole freakin world is on Heat tonight. Don't like that

Feels like a trap on the heat game. However maybe the kings come out flat due to for sale sign hanging on their heads

**Gusto0810** · 01-12-13, 09:21 PM

Tony Brothers is reffing the Heat game. I believe that is a good sign for Miami.

**Celtics08** · 01-12-13, 09:37 PM

Utah easy

**davopnz** · 01-12-13, 09:38 PM

is there anything you can buy from the sbr store outside on the us? wanted that beer mug

Now I definitely will tail Sando on Heat when pistons throwing the f***ing game away. What a frustrating 2nd half to watch.

**sando** · 01-12-13, 09:46 PM

3-1 today and yet up 0 units thanks to the Pistons collapse. It's all on the Heat now for a good/bad day...

**Crowing Capers** · 01-12-13, 09:53 PM

Piss weak Pistons..
yep lets cash the Heat man

Sando you, once again, prove you are a monster. 3-1 is sick, just unlucky on the sorry a$$ pistons.

**vessl** · 01-12-13, 11:53 PM

Heats are doing work today felllas

I still feel bad for the damn pistons though because that would have been a magical sweep for Sando, a very well deserved one for all the hard work you have put in. Anyway good job as always

good stuff sando...i stick reckon you should do halves or quarters when betting on bum teams i.e pistons, cavs, hornets, craptors etc etc more often than not they only show up for 1 or 2 quarters

**BankHead** · 01-13-13, 05:43 AM

nice job in the NBA sando. you were 100 percent right about the heat

**aussieH** · 01-13-13, 05:56 AM

To that poster that collated santos record, well done. But dude, you cannot accept any points from Sando.

Peace out.

I'll be posting my plays for round 1 men and women in 1-2 hours for anyone that cares. Been working on them for 9 hours since half way through the Pistons game. I'm planning on having a big tournament.
