Dream 17

Zero-Cool

Hey lads, Dream 17 is on Saturday morning 10.30am GMT. According to Fight Ireland, you can turn 25 euro into 590 on paddy power by betting on 3 fighters. Miyata, Mizuno and Fickett treble. Apparently it's easy money but i'm not so sure. My friend threw down 20 quid and I put down a tenner, I think mostly because if he wins 472 quid and I didn't bet, i'm afraid of what I would do! I always make a balls of betting on MMA and this bet is definitely against my judging so maybe it just might work. I just can't see Mizuno winning haha. Just hope its not true what Sonnen said about Japanese MMA being fake :pac:

How involved ARE you with Fight Ireland exactly? Do you run it?

I hope Miyata wins, other than that I'm not too pushed, I'm just not familiar enough with the Japanese bantamweights. Zaromskis is a bit of a joke as champion at this stage and Mousassi should destroy Izumi, its pretty sad to see these guys (him and the other medallist) are the successors to Yoshida.



HDnet isn't showing this live, so I presume there is no way to stream it? Anyone know any Japanese links?

I have zero connection with that site, don't even know who runs it. Saw their betting tips on facebook said i'd give it a go, should have known better. You think i'm doing a bit of self promoting there?

Must give this a watch tonight, anyone see it? Any good?

No such thing as easy money!

Exactly what I said, especially with MMA. I think the thing that pushed me was the thought of my friend winning nearly 500 quid, I would have been sickened if I didn't place a bet. Ah well, live and learn

I know how you feel. I had a lovely five fight accumulator going on a card a few months ago which would have gotten me 450 for a tenner. I was banking on John Howard scraping past out-of-form Thiago Alves but Alves wiped the floor with him.

I still might throw an auld tenner Tito's way for the Evans fight just for the laugh

Ya, i'd say there would be some good odds for Tito in that one. I keep telling myself to stay away from mma bets but i'm a sucker for the ol' accums.

Can't find a stream for this event at all.

Yeah there's no English language coverage at all, HDnet aren't showing it till august apparently

Cant find any videos of the Mousasi/Izumi fight
Apparently it was a murder!

Some fights are up, Japanese commentary. I've only tried watching a few so far, Moussasi works, Miyata disappointingly doesn't.

No connection whatsoever lads - I would NEVER try anything like that.

Only getting around to watching this now, as I was holding off for an english version but none arrived. Almost more enjoyable to watch with no commentary actually.

Enjoyed the Marius Zaromskis fight, haven't seen a DDT in mma for a long time

The ref in that fight seemed to be too quick to break them up and reset though at times

I think HDnet are showing it on the 5th so hopefully the rest of the fights should be up in English after that.
