However, I always shop for odds and Bodog.com, Sportsbook.com, and Bookmaker.com are my other top sites for comparing odds.Desert Dog's UFC 81 Bets and Picks:Main Card:Frank Mir (+120) Bet $100 win $120 BetUS Tim Sylvia (+160) Bet $100 win $160 BetUS Ricardo Almeida (NO Odds) ***Belcher replaced by Yundt***Nate Marquardt (-220) Bet $100 win $45.45 SportsbookTyson Griffin (-325) No Action Sportsbook Under Card:Kyle Bradley(+500) Bet $100 win $500 BetUSRob Emerson(+220) No Action BetUS David Heath (-220) No Action BookmakerTerry Martin(-215) No Action SportsbookWell looking back over my picks I see I'm planning a four dog night with bets on three of those dogs.

Horn To Take Over For Injured Leites
2008-01-09 20:17:00 The UFC didn't say much about the switch of Jeremy Horn for Thales Leites, but the fact that it took them just a day to find a replacement shows their confidence in Horn and their goal of getting Nate Marquardt on television.Horn, for the MMA neophyte, is one of the most experienced fighters and trainers in the sport. He's fought over 100 fights, holding wins against the likes of Chuck Liddell, Forrest Griffin, and Vernon White. Recently, Horn's had some trouble against quality opponents, but similar to Ken Shamrock or Royce Gracie, he'll always be a dangerous fighter.Horn has received two title opportunities during his storied career -- both of which he lost.UFC 81 is scheduled for Saturday, February 2nd at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, NV.

UFC 73 Early Betting Odds
2007-06-26 07:38:00 UFC 73 Stacked betting odds have for 3 of the main card fights (right side of page) have been out for almost two months now and with all other events out of the way the public eyes are now focusing on the July card.All three of these main event fights are very tight matchups which are close to 50/50 in true probabilities.

I would say that this is one of the best values on the card. The trend looks like it could get as good as +250, but it's worth catching it here if this is a bet you want to take.Nate Marquardt's od... |
