Decent limits on betbright?

Good q

If getting boo'd shakes her up that bad I wish I could rally the Vegas crowd and get them to boo her on her entrance to the cage.

I'm usually not this petty but I really hate Ronda and everything she is and stands for.

My typical max bet is 5u, saved for the most confident picks. Standard bet is between .5 and 2u. I guess 2.1 is plenty for me on that play especially considering the nice price I got. And I'm with you on those distance lines, I don't feel like looking up stats right now but I'd guess maybe 80-90% of 3 rd fights that go O2.5 end up seeing scorecards. I could be way off of course...

That goes without saying friend!

good bankroll management, more ppl should follow this method. Mines very similar but I will go higher than 5u max on very rare occasions or for a trade.

Decent limits on betbright?

not sure, I've been banned for a while. they were ok when I joined but I got gubbed pretty quickly.

 

[Card]

Just the main fight up so far

 

[MidgardSerpent]

Picks TJ, Cain, Cruz, Rousey

Is that bathroom tiling in a weight lifting room?! You only have to drop a dumbell once and... ka-pow.

 

[Card]

weight cut is easy, eat healthy, work out 6 hours a day, I could make 125, I should be fighting for the title, I believe I won the Cruz fight, I should be on a 12 fight win streak, i don't care if he misses weight, he's not technical, he relies on his power, that's all he's got, I'll go have fun, I'll go out with my groove and smile and come out victorious, Cruz will win, Lineker beat Dodson with aggression and backing him up against the cage, if Nunes can keep this on the feet, she wins the fight

thoughts not really changed but he could be a live dog if thatch asthma or gassing occurs from r2. otherwise price looked terrible, winged punches with little technique and brute force take downs, but its those take downs and cardio which I have to give the favour in price here but only since thatch tires and gasses often. Maybe thatch r1 and price decision or r3 prop tiny stab.

Does not sound like jds will be stepping in for Cain, Cain says he gets the doc to check him out tomorrow (saturday) and he is very confident he will green lit the fight since he has been fine and more then fight ready and even done a sparring session earlier. Also says half the injury talk was fake and rumour stuff, but does confirm he has an injury on back just not that serious.

Source but long read here:

http://www.mmafighting.com/2016/12/...es-back-injury-drama-im-ready-to-beat-werdums

expect full 100% confirmation of Cain fighting Werdum by Saturday afternoon.

 

[Buddy Brown]

So I've wasted $100 on Werdum then. Awesome.

 

[Sham5916910]

Watched tape on garcia and pyle. Garcia is a flawed fighter poor mans lombard. Athletic explosive guy but limited standing albeit big power, poor cardio, ok from top but not really a threat from there and excellent takedowns. However im really struggling to see how pyle wins this. Hes 41 and has been dropped or ko'd in 5 of his last 7 fights. Pyle is dangerous from the clinch but i can only see him having success there in r3 if he can last that long otherwise garcia will just power out or take pyle down from the clinch. Garcia has the power to ko pyle at any point and is a lot quicker. He isnt great technically but normally lands and this is due to his speed. He will be able to take pyle down at will but needs to watch his p's and q's as pyle is dangerous from the bottom. I think pyle r3 is worth a stab as garcia will slow if he cant finish pyle but i might throw garcia in a small parlay with cruz. If not garcia ko and dec prop lines will be interesting. I suspect dec will pay better so i may take a stab at that. Garcia should elect to stand with pyle but he normally goes for takedowns so three rounds of laying on pyle wouldnt surprise me. Garcia ko r1 must be worth some £££ too tho.

I think Werdum is the justified play honestly. I remember thinking Cain was a bad matchup for Werdum, but I'm really not so sure anymore. Cain thrives in the clinch and on the ground, the same place Werdum does. I know Cain gassed last fight, but I don't think he ever felt that comfortable in there. That's the thing with Cain - he can normally find a place where he can completely exploit an opponent and I don't think he has it here.

It's more me not trusting Werdum at this point in his career. He's been so wreckless since the Stipe KO.

reckless since the stipe ko? what? all 1 fights, where he won every round?

He's been awesome lol



Imagine if he knocked him out with that. We'd be saying he is the greatest hw ever. Besides this kick his performance in this fight was somewhat lackluster though.

I should have said "since and including the Stipe KO". I know he completely dominated Travis, but I remember thinking "man, if this was anyone but Travis Werdum would be in trouble". He kept running forward with his chin up in the air and leaving himself wide open to be countered like in the Stipe fight. Travis just couldn't capitalize on it.
