    I'm trying to put T Silva in a small accumulator but Paddy Power wont let me. Anyone else having this difficulty?

    I'd have a hard time backing himm because I think he's going to lose. :pac:

    I always do my accumulators on the day for some reason. I like to see the weigh ins before betteing.

    I tried to put Machida into an accumulator this morning and couldn't do it either. Very odd.

    Doesn’t have anything to do with maximum payout?

    Dunno.

    Machida is a huge favourite hence only being in an accumulator.


    The one that COULd really help the odds is Diaz - Guida but I can't call that one.

    i would be happy going with Guida, here. I dont think Diaz is a favourite in this matchup. Pellegrino was dominating him until he got sloppy. Guida takes you down and wears you out. I dont see Diaz submitting Guida either.

    I'd fully agree with this except I keep thinking of Guida getting choked out by Huerta and it's putting me off.

    He got rocked by a big knee, Diaz doesnt have that kind of power imo

    But Diaz does have the "pull a sub outta nowhere" factor and better BJJ than Huerta. So I'm cautious. Hopin Clay does it, I'll likely back him.

    Im rooting for diaz in this match, purely for the fact that at this stage he's more of an unknown prospect and we're not sure how far his abilities can take him. I dont think guida will ever be champ, he's a really good fighter, but im not sure he has that something extra to take the title.

    Its a really competitive fight nethertheless and I just cant pick a winner, Im edging towards guida though, winning in a split decision.

    Yeah i dont know why you cant put the Machida/Silva fight with anything else. In ufc93 a bunch of us predicted 7 out of the 9 fights correctly but we had them in a large accumulator so we got nothing. This time im going for doubles. Not as big a pay out but safer. Maybe a treble of Fitch/Bonnar/ Parisyan=1.25/1 and a few others. Betting on Silva in a single anyway.
    I reckon that paddy power lost a few bob on accumulators last time so thats why they arnt letting this fight be combined. But then if they are worried why not drop the odds? who knows....
