Shoot! I’d gladly take Stevenson and Wedum with those odds…
Nothing for the Grove/ Rivera fight, i expect Kendall to be huge.
Same for Swick/ Burkman and Cote/McFedries, nothing jumps at me.
Possibly risk something on Diaz, Leites, and/ or Lesner.
i dont understand how ur odds work in america can someone please explain, i mean wat the hell does -175,+145 mean?
an example to how are betting works say if bj penn was 3-1 that would mean u put a pound/doller on an get 3 back its always the second number is wat u put on an the first is what that would return,
im looking forward to an answer!
my picks there are:
penn:even tho i like joe daddy penn is guna be to good for him
grove:needs to win or will be fighting in undercards next
gonzaga:what a monster 1st round knock out on the card here
burkman: hope he can do swick dont like the guy
cote:very close to call cant wait to see this fight.
diaz big test for him here think we`ll get an idea to how good he is!
never seen lesner fight so got to go wiv mir
marquadt:will destroy leites
Wel I think its all about right except for the Lesnar Mir fight.
yeah i hope lensnar wins mate he is a monster an would be nice to see another good heavyweight in the ufc cos i think its on par wiv the 185 divison not enough good fighters i mean u couldn`t really name top 5 heavyweight fighters off top of your head an think yeah he could be champ!
I hope that Mir puts Brock Lesner into a nasty submussion in the first round. Show these people who think they can just waltz into MMA that it is no joke. I hope the same thing happens to Mayweather if he ever comes across. I think the Penn/Stevenson fight could go Joe Daddy’s way if he can make it past the first round. BJ seems to gas easily. Maybe he will be better conditioned at 155 (not that he actually does any conditioning work).
Theres a raaaat in ma kitchen, whatama gonna doooo
if it say -200 for example, then it means u have to gamble 200 to make 100 profit. so if u put 285 on bj penn u get back 385. +100 means u get ur 100 plus 100. so if u back joe daddy for 100 u get back 320. i find the american way of betting hard to understand. if you gamble through bodog then it gives u the option of using the decimal system. good luck on the punting johnboy
If those odds stay the same, much money on Mir.
cheers spencer sorta explained it but ur right it is a bit hard/weird ha they dont like to make things to easy
