How safe is Rampage jackson tonight?

[SBR Lou]

I know nothing about MMA.

I see him as -250.

Thoughts?

[Cloak & Dagger]

The face of the company is NOT losing tonight

its not like betting on Kimbo Slice

[SlickFazzer]

Not a chalk player Crazy.

He's tough, was in Pride for years....He's never really been beat down.

He's a tough sucker.

But i never mess with that damn chalk.

[SBR Lou]

Thanks guys. Where's Punchmaster when ya need him too.

[hackattack]

Rampage wins for fun.

[playa420]

rampage is a lock

[SBR Lou]

Shameless bump.

More opinions please.

[SlickFazzer]

He should win. Since 01 he's only lost to Rua and Silva in their primes, and one other DQ.

He's a tough sucker.

Small bet at 250 is the way to go.

[EddieJones]

Forrest is getting slaughtered.

[rake922]

Can somebody update this thread if it's been decided

[hackattack]

Pretty even so far...rd 4.

[punchmaster]

Thanks guys. Where's Punchmaster when ya need him too.

Punchmaster not a UFC guy, crazyl. Only Boxeo!!

If you don't know the players, don't bet. Rampage had shown his vulnerability in past years and only since he defeated Liddell did people start touting him as a great fighter. Good, yes, hard-hitting, yes, great - no. He gasses easily and is a bit sloppy at times. For the record, I bet $100 on Forrest - thankfully. He has shown himself to be a motivated, tough son-of-a-gun who won't quit so for those who thought Rampage was a lock - get a grip.

You mean his ugly big as nose that a plastic surgeon needs to go fix?

He lost by 2 pts, he sucked it up. gave up a 10-8 round in the 2nd and didn't really come out blazing after that... He just lolly gagged around.

I saw this fight as a coin flip so I took the dog. It paid dividends.

Hey Smallon, did you tell players here before the bout that you bet on Forrest? If so , well done, if not, not good to say you did it after the fact and then give a get a grip message to everyone here. Only reason I'm saying this is I'm pretty sure that in Paq-Diaz boxing discussion, you said it could go either way and wouldn't commit in a thread, and once fight is over said you took Paq inside and had a nice weekend. That's simply bad form and it gets old. I'm not combing over these threads too hard, so if you put out the picks prior, well done because it's tough to see someone c'mon consistently after events and say "for the record", etc.

Cheers

Punchmaster,

Thank you for my new floors! Great picks my man!

[smallon]

Punchmaster - first, i picked Pacquiao and I picked Griffin. If I didn't post it beforehand, so be it but I track all my picks and don't feel the need to make certain I post my picks on the board. I chose Nadal and said so but again, I didn't give thought to posting this on the forum - I just did. If I remember the next time, I will but I stand by what I posted.

[SBR Lou]

Great call to those on Griffin, I don't know much about UFC and should stay out of wagering on it.

My quote....

Everybody's on the Rampage bandwagon since he beat up Chuckie. But when he was in Pride he showed some serious flaws, one of which is his conditioning. He seems to have gotten better in the past couple of years but Griffin is no slouch and I'm sure he's going to be in the fight for the duration.

This was my thinking which is why I went with Griffin.

[purecarnagge]

Personally, I think Rampage got lucky with the chuck fight. On the show he just seemed like he was out of his element. Griffin trains as hard as anyone whose a legend does... He's durable and scrappy.

It seems like 9 months without fighting was bad for Jackson and he wasn't able to handle it...

So on a fight that I thought was 50/50 I took the dog at great value, plus I wanted him to win.

my opinion on the subject is say it before the fight/game/match begins or shut the **** up.

if you don't feel the need to post your picks beforehand, then why do you feel the need to post your bullshit about what people should have bet, after the fukkin fact?

i have known people who do what you do, and I have caught them in lies about betting so many times. it's pretty transparent.

The guy can do w/e he wants. If he posts his picks he posts them. Your not required to post plays on this forum. If he doesn't he doesn't. People will take it at face value... At least most the people on the board won money on the UFC fights overall.

If that isn't enough for you then get the damn pole out your ass and stop being some jaded anal prick.

Thank you Purecarnage.

And to Hoopster - fvck off. Worry about yourself. I posted my quote - if that's not enough for you, tough shit.

[bookie]

For the record, I bet $100 on Forrest -

I'm with those who say your post is out of line. For the record, you did not pick Forrest for the record. I'm not saying you didn't pick him, but charging in after the fact to announce that you did is bad form.

Bookie - oh well, if you don't like it and think it's bad form, tough shit pal.

TO be fair - I do not handicap MMA. I am a fan, but certainly not an expert here. That being said, one trend that I have noticed is that taking underdogs seems to be a moneymaker in the UFC. If you take the entire card, and roll on dogs there is decent value. On my website I handicap most sports, but I just don't know enough here. Good luck - and pound those dogs!

There have been many upsets in MMA in last few years . Most MMA cards there are a few upsets . Alot of times newer or unkkown fighters that have faught in smaller ORGs are undervalued . Also there are going to be more upset with only 3rnds fights ( alot easier to steal the fight ) also with guys throwing kicks , knees , Punches ,and one wrong move you could get submited . Also Cuts stop fights and there are Refs that stop fights early ( to protect the fighters , but not always the best calls ) . There is money to be made in this sport you cant just best all the favorites like boxing .

[hoopster42]

it pretty obvious to see the posters who are just a lot of noise, nothing more, nothing less
