The 'Ol One-Two: UFC 71 In The Books
2007-06-03 05:54:00
I'm just getting back from work and had to drop a quick post about the UFC 71 results. I'll start by saying SWEEEEEET night of fights and bets.Rampage came through and showed that in the ring and in the cage he's got what it takes. The LHW and HW divisions are looking fantastic these days with hopes of many dream fights looking very probable over the next year.Terry Martin's fight again showed that he is for real, I'd like to see how he does in a fight that goes a few rounds to see how his conditioning really is, but he looked very solid at 185.The Starnes vs Leben fight showed why you play the odds in match ups that you perceive as even (or close to it). Leben has some soul searching to do after dropping this decision loss. I still enjoy watching him fight, but anyone fighting at that level is looking for a path to some title and I doubt he's going to see a shot in the UFC.Burkman just got eaten up by an in shape and hungry Parisyan. Halfway through round 2 you could see the ...

UFC 71 Betting Odds and Fight Picks
2007-05-24 19:14:00
Back again with my picks and bets for UFC 71. I?ve researched these fights for the last month or so but as a working man (yes, it really is work) I?ve been very busy, so my writeup is a bit thinner than in the past. The main card is packed with fights that could go either way and in terms of odds provides some great betting values. I?ve listed 5 bets for the night, but I definitely have a couple of favorites. I?ve also dropped the point system from my picks (ie. 1 point to win 1.45) and went with lines based on $100 bets; this fits the odds system better and gets rid of those pesky decimals.Picks and Bets for UFC 71:Quinton Jackson +165: 100 win 165 (BetUS)Josh Burkman +260: 100 to win 260 (Bookmaker)Terry Martin +130: 100 to win 130 (Bookmaker)Keith Jardine -500: No actionKalib Starnes +210: 100 to win 210 (Bookmaker)Preliminary Card Picks:Din Thomas -325: No actionThiago Silva -225: No actionSean Salmon -120: 100 to win 83.33 (Bodog)Wilson Gouveia -255: No ActionAs always, if you ...

UFC 71 Odds Rolling Out
2007-05-24 00:45:00
The oddsmakers at Bookmaker.com have a different view of the Terry Martin vs Ivan Salaverry fight than I do. They've booked Ivan as the favorite with odds of -160 (61% chance to win). I'm sorry but Ivan's been too inactive and he's fighting a bigger man with only 2 loses and ridiculous KO power. Don't get me wrong Salaverry is a very cagey fighter and could win but, the odds here scream out for a bet on Terry Martin (+130).I'll have the rest of the bookmakers odds posted in the next couple of hours. We'll see how much disagreement there is on some of these undercard fights.....I smell a scalp play coming.I'm putting together all of my picks and bets for the entire UFC 71 fight card and will have it posted here and at UFCMania.com in the next day or two. In the mean time drop a dime on Terry ASAP.You wanna make a bet....

Betting Props for UFC 71
2007-05-23 07:09:00
Bodog.com is trying to spice things up a bit for UFC bettors. They've added several Prop bets for the top two bouts. The bets and odds are listed under "Mixed Martial Arts - MMA Props". Props are very specific bets such as, Liddell wins in the 5th round (10/1 odds), and because they are so specific the odds are much higher. The max limit for bets is $100. If you're convinced what round the fight will end and even better who will end it, Prop bets can be a fun and cheap way to play. If you miss it's 10 or 20 bucks if you hit you take home 100...200 bucks.Just a little something new to keep the MMA ADD entertained.PS Bodog currently (changing often) has the best odds on Liddell (-175) if that's you're inclination.You wanna make a bet....

Chuck Liddell (-180) vs Quinton Jackson (+175) - With endless training videos, interviews, and commentaries the betting line for Chuck Liddell and Quinton Jackson is finally tightening up. If you were looking to follow Randy Couture's advice and bet on Jackson the best odds are behind you now (but still worth it down to +170). But, if you think the Ice Man is taking this one home you should be able to get a piece of him for around -200 and maybe even -175 by Friday or early Saturday, with four solid books to chose from you should be able to play either side of this one comfortably. Myself, I already dropped my dienero when Jackson was +200.Karo Parisyan (-300) vs Josh Burkman (+260) - The betting public is still in love with Karo and money continues to come in behind him. The line on this fight should be much closer (-115/+135). My prediction for the fight is decsion for Burkman and a hell of a fight. With the current moneyline, the only value I see is a bet on Josh Burkman at +175...
