    Yeah i can live with that. But Gabers is unbelievable is like he doesnt know the meaning of the words he says. Huge robbery? having a loose screw if you didnt saw it for Ogle? He just goes bananas.

      Some in here talking abt riding trends. This is true. When u spot a good up and coming talent u can ride them for good money. Take example of the girl who arm bars everyone. You could have ridden her to big bucks if u were a believer. She is a beast.

            Usually when i have a lot of money on a fighter, I am panicking throughout the fight. During Lombard's fight, I was as calm as it gets. That means he was winning each round easily and should have gotten a clear cut 30-27, just like everyone else with a brain scored.
            To be fair and balanced, Benavidez wasn't a robbery, Hector Lombard most certainly was robbed. I walked out of WildWings before that fight was over and I thought Hector clearly won that fight. I didn't have any $$$ on that fight as the line was too steep, but in this case, Gabe is correct, Lombard was most def. robbed.

                the Lombard fight should have been a push at best. He sat there and basically did nothing. Neither fight was a robbery and u are a clown if you think they were.

                  Really u think Lombard got robbed? What did he actually do? I thought they both stunk up the joint and if either won i wouldn't have cared because i thought it was that close. A robbery is a bit strong tho.

                    Man ogle got his ass beat. That knot on his head was swollen bigger than his focking brain is. I think corassani won 1 and 2 on damage alone. But, I can see why people would think ogle won because he did exactly what was needed to get a cheesy win. Ogle was god awful, ran like a bitch the entire fight, desperately looking for those takedowns.

                    Corassani is a bum for not being able to get up in that third 3rd, but atleast he was throwing with venom ttrying to win.

                      The punch in that gif hurt him 'cos Akira is a much more powerful guy, but didn't get dropped like Akira did...

                      Again, it doesn't matter if you saw it different than I did. What matters is how the two people involved in the fight felt, and both were in agreement regarding who the winner was. During bad decisions, fighters often get surprised, but no one has been more surprised than Akira was.

                        Once again bro, Akira has said since the fight that he thinks he won 1 and 2 after watching it multiple times (see his twitter). I think the surprised look on his face might of partly been a look of disappointment in his third round performance as well, and also when you know u lost the last round it's probably more likely that you think you lost the fight (as probably dont remember what even happened in earlier rounds at tht point)

                          Yeah Lombard just stood there looking for that punch but it never landed. I thought boetsch on pretty clearly. Maybe it just seemed like such an upset because there was a massive hype train behind him?

                            Of course that's what he's saying AFTERWARDS. His initial response and what he felt DURING the fight is what matters. EVERYBODY who thinks they lost end up saying they won later on. Even Garcia started saying he thinks he beat Dat Phan...

                            Another point, Twitter BLEW UP about Ogle being robbed. That NEVER happens during "close decisions"

                              Never landed? He landed more strikes than Boetsch. He was chasing him down the entire time, almost like Diaz vs Condit 2

                              I don't know how you think Boetsch won by running from his opponent and landing less strikes than him.

                              You were just talking shit about Ogle running, but think Boetsch won for doing the same lol... Except Ogle actually beat the shit of Corassani, and Boetsch did no damage to Lombard. I think your racism towards Brits has something to do with your outlook, and you probably wanted to see the white guy win over the cuban, so saw it that way

                                One hypothetical question. If the username "Gabe" was merely a conglomerate of people paid to say incendiary and utterly ridiculous things would you feel like a complete fool for spending thousands of posts and days of your life responding said statements?

                                    Lol, you must be, because you are either a troll yourself, or someone who enjoys coming to a forum where not a single person respects them. Your entire post history is defending yourself and your ridiculous statements. Just look at your thread.

                                    Yeah man lets fire up this indica dominant kush and stay up all night and all day everyday power posting against the haters, lol.

                                    I think it makes more sense to people that you are just paid to generate traffic in one of the subforums with the least traffic by saying the complete nonsense you do, than you actually being stupid enough to have "seriously" authored your thread!

                                        Ok, what do you make of this statement then. Because if i wasn't convinced of gabe's trollness I certainly would have had my jimmies rustled.

                                        the books that allowed mma parlays have all cut me off, so the ones i'm with now don't allow it... not making as much as i used to.
                                        1. Is this factual statement?

                                        Does gabe mean offshore books? Because I thought he only bet local. Last I heard he was getting freeplays from krazy karen after he lost 10k, (coincidentally the one time in his thread where he posted picks before the fights). Now we are to believe that gabe is crushing them so bad he got "cut off" by krazy karen (lol) and he is a pro gambler providing for his parents with his income? That is the story he is going on so far.

                                        2. Gabe is so stupid he thinks people actually believe this shit.

                                        The bouncy castles, losing 10k, his miraculous comeback with baseball plays to get out the hole (that he never posted). Cmon, thats as stupid as people believing jjgold actually had a bookie black mark his face with shoe polish. But MMA fans are usually quite young, and especially naive so i wouldn't blame him too much there.

                                        3. Night shift gabe and morning shift gabe got their stories mixed up

                                        4. The post was troll bait


                                        What do you think?

                                          a) I think that Gabe will respond by saying "I cant believe how dumb you are, I've posted my plays in multiple threads" etc...;
                                          b) Gabe will probably post his results from all the Fuel Cards which he likes to do;
                                          c) Gabe will probably refer to a few tennis/nfl/mlb parlays that he has hit and the Brazil TUF card were he hit a few

                                          Im sure we've been through a) to c) before?!

                                              Thats my exact point. If you could put a dollar figure on the time you wasted going through the exact same thing with gabe what would you put it at?

                                              But you still didn't answer the previous question. Do you think the statement gabe made was a fact or a fabrication? We all know the ridiculous lengths he will go to try prove his statements, which is one of the reasons it leads me to believe he isn't stupid but trolling.

                                              A perfect example would be when numerous people suggested he make a spreadsheet and post before the fights if he was so intent on people believing him. his reply was that 'he doesn't have time for it". But what he does have time for is to spend everyday for 6 months of his life trying to convince people of his past posted plays when simply making an sbr spreadsheet could have saved that? Does this make sense?

                                              It's the same thing with Fury, me takes some screenshot that conveniently proves nothing, and claims that he didn't want to take the time to screengrab seven plays. This is understandable under normal cirumstances, but when he invests like a week of his time defending himself on his dubious claims when he could have simply invested 10 minutes to "prove" them, you have to seriously question his integrity.

                                                Would probably be a decent 5 figure amount!
                                                Though, a lot of the time I was just messing around with Gabers whilst bored at work, like talking about his superlocks, megalocks etc...!

                                                No idea whether true or not - I still don't understand how Gabers places bets or the logistics of it and whether he has one Armenian local or multiple outs, but Im also not really bothered! He also took part in that contest where you needed a sportbet/5dimes account so that would suggest he is signed up there...but then anybody can just sign up and get a username I guess. There has often been things that didnt make sense with Gabers but I embrace that mystery!

                                                At the end of the day, if one was that desperate to show how good you are at betting anybody could post a screen-play of a winner and not show the screen play of you also betting the other side. Like I just said I'm betting Sevilla PK at -106 in a soccer game coming up. I could easily just bet on Celta Vigo PK at +108 on another site right now and not mention it at all but make out I'm just betting on Sevilla PK! My point is I just find it hard that anybody would be tht desperate to do that.

                                                  Would like to hear which UFC fight was fixed. MMA seems to have the most exploitable lines...sportsbooks seem to be getting sharper thought. Still, because of the volume of betting in NFL and MLB lines seem to adjust themselves based on action and are much sharper than MMA lines (lines in which much less books offer)

                                                    Thats what I asked in the first place, lol. If you don't mind spending days of your life debating the fine points of "locks" and "superlocks". and if gabe's imaginary bookie actaully does let him buy from -2.5 to -3.5 for -130 then more power to you. It's just these statements are complete lies.

                                                    I rarely ever interact with gabe, because I don't like talking with an obvious liar. The guy was sending me PMs abou how he knows cerrone and this and that, he hinted that he had some inside info on a strikeforce card. I just smiled and nodded, didn't even ask what it was.

                                                    I don't understand either. I mean, i can can understand why Fury does it because he has a financial interest. But why would an armenian manlet come on here and past post plays and have people call him every name in the book. look at his thread? Does it make him feel good?

                                                    EDIT: gabes thread was all before i got here as well. all you guys.

                                                          Yeah, or he just pretends to not understand a simple mathematical principle knowing he will get raped by nunyas posse for 10 pages.

                                                          What you need to remember about an MMA "forum" is that the cards are BI weekly on average. So there is not a lot of traffic to the forum, sometimes with a long gap between cards. Well, there is boxing every week but the so called fight fans and cerebral cappers here don't know dick about it, if you catch my drift.

                                                          This basically means there needs to be posts to keep it active.

                                                              Gabe thread. 68 pages of him either being a troll or a complete moron. Either way he was lying through his teeth. Beginning and end really tell the story. http://forum.sbrforum.com/boxing-mma...gabe-says.html

                                                              Lol, jjgold is a "character" that makes sbr comedy videos. The themes in the videos are obviously not actually true (such as him claiming to have bookies looking for him) but are obviously scripted stroies. But, there is a small group of naive people that actually take him seriously!

                                                                Lol, jjgold is a "character" that makes sbr comedy videos. The themes in the videos are obviously not actually true (such as him claiming to have bookies looking for him) but are obviously scripted stroies. But, there is a small group of naive people that actually take him seriously!
                                                                Can't give you SBR points for some reason, sorry. Thank you for the info, once again.

                                                                It baffled me to learn that people respect this JJGold figure so much after I saw this thread.

                                                                  You don't think he's funny? This dude is serious though, when people thought we was just trolling by saying his dick was 2.5 inches but then he posted a video.

                                                                  They have a still photo floating around online somewhere (srs). Looks like his genitals were disfigured when he had to serve in the israeli military or something. It's not part of the act, there is literally nothing there.

Your entire post history is defending yourself and your ridiculous statements. Just look at your thread.

                                                                        Yeah man lets fire up this indica dominant kush and stay up all night and all day everyday power posting against the haters, lol.

                                                                        I think it makes more sense to people that you are just paid to generate traffic in one of the subforums with the least traffic by saying the complete nonsense you do, than you actually being stupid enough to have "seriously" authored your thread!
                                                                        lolllllllll i wish i were more like you, a guy who spends all his time on an internet forum where he talks shit to everyone and everyone respects him.

                                                                        yeah, buddy. you are really respected on sbr. make sure your family includes that in your obituary.
