      Fedor is an amazing fighter, actually record wise it doesn't get much better. But honestly, in the heavyweight division wearing 4 oz gloves anything can happen. I would never lay that much money only to win 6k. There are too many improbables in MMA to ever bet that much money. With that being said, Fedor will most likely win. I say 95% chance.

        If I offered you a line of -6000 for the following scenario would you take it or not bet at all?

        Team A 2009 MLB Allstars (including pitchers) -6000

        Team B Top Tennis Players in the World +10000

          That is a high probability....if true, I'd take -550 all day

            well not really bad bet but that is an insane amount of cash just to win 6k. I should rename thread to crazy bet.

                Fedor is great and one of the best ever. He is due to lose though, just not sure if this will be the time.

                    never a bad bet to bet on fedor.... i myself have a couple grand on him..... my thinking is if fedor loses the last thing i'll be think about is the money lost... the death of THE legend if it happens...

                          I'm a big Fedor fan but I wouldn't make it with that kind of juice. Fedor is more than likely going to win but in recent years he has broken his hand numerous times. I'm sure he has the heart to keep fighting if he re-breaks his hand early in the fight but theres a chance if that happens he won't be able to put Werdum away and if it goes it decision who knows how these retarded MMA judges will score the bout. Especially if Wedum gets a take down or two.

                              Fedor lost via first round submission.

                              Hope this guy was playing with monopoly money. I won 4 units

                              Post a link to the thread.

                                  They're covering this story on Sherdog radio. He said it was the down payment for his house and he planned on buying a Rolex with the winnings

                                  I'll post the link when they post the podcast.

                                          feel bad for him if it's true, picks the first fight Fedor loses to make a crazy bet.

                                            He says he was "fraudin". I kind of wish it was true, someone dumb enough to make that bet doesn't deserve a house
