    Anyone got any thoughts on UFC 160? Mailburner has been working the oracle as of late!

    I don't bet big, just a couple of euro's on 3 or 4 fights depending on the card. My favourite aspect of MMA gambling is picking out underdog's and I am going to have a small bet on these 2 and am interested to hear your thoughts.

    James Te Huna by decision @7-1. I think Glover's cardio is poor and I think Te Huna can turn the tide in the second and get it done.
    Tj Grant by KO @ 13-1. His standup improvements have impressed me no end and I think Gray is actually going backwards in terms of skill development. It's a long shot for a reason but I will be sticking a couple of euro on this.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,773 ✭✭✭SureYWouldntYa


    An underdog double of Hunt and Silva on PP gives odds of 21-1. More than likely gonna lose that tenner but ya never know

    went big on the cerrone/jds double which works out
    at 3/4 (pp)
    I went with these two as I can't see a way their opponents
    will win as both will employ the same tactics they always do and
    are inferior opponents on anything i've seen them do

    first thoughts were to stick in cain to bring it up near
    evens but it not worth the risk even if i am sure cain
    is 99% certain to win
    I thought the same of overeem mind you so at 1/8 its not really
    worth the risk

    I have no doubt in my mind just like souza/camozzi that jds hunt is a mismatch and that jds
    is in a different league to hunt so im not even thinking a win for hunt is even possible given
    jds went 3 with big country and took some big shots there



    cerrone imo is one of the best in the division but sadly the division
    is so full of talent that cerrone just keeps finding a couple too good
    his losses have been to bendo twice, pettis varner and nate diaz
    he had a rare off day against diaz to be fair to him or rather diaz
    got inside his head
    Noons on the other hand hasnt beaten/finished any top fighters as far as
    I can see and his most recent split decision loss to ryan couture
    says it all really
    I wouldnt put ryan couture in the top 20 in the divison
    Noons will stand in front of cerrone for three rounds and come
    out second best and be that bit slower imo
    There no doubting he's well able to take plenty of punishment however
    but apart from his stand up which is just mediocre imo he doesnt really
    do anything else
    I see a similar type of fight to cerrone stephens myself

    cerrone points on the other hand is what i'd be on otherwise and 17/10
    is a decent price on that as noons has gone the distance with masvidal
    diaz and thomson so should stay the course here

    not a bad bet on te huna and even though i think tex will win I wouldn't
    be putting big money on it and certainly wouldnt be putting you off it

    Not sure about maynard myself and I certainly wouldnt be backing
    him at 1/2, I don't see him making much of an impact in the
    division going forward
    grant points if you put a gun to my head (11/4) but I could see
    it being a close pts decision to either fighter
    That price for a grant ko is big though in fairness


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,923 ✭✭✭✭mailburner


    any thoughts on fotn?

    looks the most open ive seen in a while

    bermudez holloway jumping out the page at me at 10s
    Im surprised bermudez is fighting only three months after his war
    war with matt grice and that was some fight in fairness

    I don't know stephens opponent but if hits as hard
    as stephens and can take as much punishment then 14s
    might look a big price

  • Registered Users Posts: 85 ✭✭broders3


    You're point about Bermudez only 3 months removed from a career shortening bout with Grice is partly the reason I wouldn't back him for FOTN. You have to think his team would be pushing for him to have a more conservative strategy, he figures to have a big wrestling advantage over Holloway anyway. Struggling to see a real good value bet there for FOTN. I tend to stick with main card fights for the FOTN as an undercard bout needs to be one for the ages to get the nod (bermudez/grice being a prime example). Based on Hunt being a fan favourite and his ability to absorb punishment if I had to pick one I would say Hunt/JDS for FOTN

    Thanks for the feedback on the Grant/Te Huna bets, reckon I will get in on the JDS/Cerrone double. I have a feeling Cerrone will finish Noons inside the distance though, he can be so dynamic when he has the upper hand on opponents and a sub for Cerrone wouldn't be out of the question in my opinion.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 11,139 Mod ✭✭✭✭Mr. Manager


    +1 to the above.

    Depending on how my football bet goes at the weekend depends on how far I'll expand my picks.

    For FOTN though, I would look to be betting on JDS/Hunt or Pyle/Story.

    good points there broders
    I never bet on that market but was having second thoughts
    after not going with miller/healy recently
    I wasn't even thinking about the fights not being part of the
    main card and the undercard fights would have to be epic
    to win the bonus so ill stay away

    ive no idea now
    think jds hunt fight will be so lopsided that it won't be
    much of a fight with hunt taking a lot of damange and jds
    taking very little

    same could probably be said of cerrone but cerrone will
    look good beating up noons
    I find it easy to rule out cain/silva

    I think if tex/glover lasts two rounds it would be a shoe in
    for fotn myself

    Im looking at the card and I cant wait for it
    there's only one fight im really not looking forward to (colton smith)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,602 ✭✭✭✭Mellor


    Cerrone (TKO), Maynard (sub), JDS (sub) for me

    Pyle/Story or Teixeira/TeHuna for FoTN

    Story, Maynard, Ceronne
    Single bet on each. Plus a Treble


    Also seen Story v Pyle FotN jumped to 15/1 had a bet on that too.

    I just put a bet on FOTN for story v pyle, only got 14/1 though paddypower, a good bet though! Cheers

    Along with my earlier pick of Pyle/Story for FOTN I've taken Stephens for KO of the night and Nurmagomedov for SOTN.

    Ronaldo Souza @ 1/4


    works out at 3.1/1 (paddy)

    here's how i see it overall
    I don't think bigfoot has a hope in hell and the odds reflect that
    He has nothing in his arsenal to hurt velas

    I think hunt/jds cerrone/noons and souza/cammozzo are all mismatches

    jds is on another level to hunt
    I dont rate noons at all and cerrone can't possibly lose this
    souza is in a different league to camozzi

    that leaves glover who I think will be too good for te huna
    its amazing to think ed herman was the last man to be tex :pac:

    Khabib has looked the part so far and I firmly believe this
    guy will be fighting for the title in a couple of years so im
    not looking past him at all
    this guy has it all

    If glover let's me down then fair enough but at this early
    stage I'm saying I really can't see any of the others doing so
    This is without doubt the easiest six timer i've ever got up
    barely a scare in all that lot (bar hunt maybe)

    have only gone bigger on vitor twice all year
    Was ****n myself knowing the power hunt has but nothing
    wrong with jds chin either
    different league in fairness
    Noons as tough as they come as proved in strikeforce but
    at the start of the second round it was obvious it was only going one way

    Thanks mailburner, by the time I placed the bet it was 10-1 but it was a nice call all the same.I'm sorry I didn't back him for the straight win too. Was disappointed with te huna,if he kept it on the feet he had a chance,he was holding his own and more on the feet.

    Nice call on cerrone/jds,easy money that one


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,440 ✭✭✭califano


    Very surprised to see the Pendred v Mills fight priced up so evenly as i thought Pendred would be a clear fav. It opened Pendred 5/6 Mills 4/5. I ploughed into Pendred at the price over the last couple of days as a result and im surprised to see subsequently the money come for Mills whos now 8/13 with Pendred drifting to 6/5.
    Hopefully it was backed into 8/13 on someone opinion that Mills is better as i think im on the right fighter but i just hope everything is going well in the Pendred camp. If i knew it was id go in again at 6/5!. I was just convinced that if anything the price on Pendred would shorten. Interesting development.


  • Registered Users Posts: 85 ✭✭broders3


    I backed him just now with PP at 5/4. Have to say I don't see an upward trajectory for Che Mills career at all. I predict a Riddle/Mills-esque fight with Pendred grinding him down and winning a decision or maybe even a late stoppage.

    In other betting news I backed a Fabricio Werdum/Tyrone Woodley double at the next UFC on FX. It works out a little over 2/1 which is tremendous value in my opinion. I think Nog is way too slow at this stage to cause Werdum any trouble at all and I can't see Shields getting Woodley off his feet which is his only chance. I predict a violent ending by Woodley, Shields best days are behind him.

    I wish it was 2s broders, works out at slightly over evens
    those two fights are a week apart also
    You have read my mind with those two esp woodley but
    not sure if i can pull the trigger on werdum at 1/3
    the first name jumping out of the page last weekend for me
    was tyrone woodley and like you said I can't see shields getting
    woodley down and woodley wins this everywhere else
    I could see woodley finishing shields
    No doubt in my mind shields won't be doing much in the ufc

    I couldn't be any more confident if I'm being honest

    As for big nog...I'm not sure about it
    His best days are behind him no doubt but he made short work
    of schaub in brazil and walked through some big bombs before
    putting schaub away (had a nice bet on schaub)
    He looked like a man possessed that night

    Werdum the better of the two fighters right now but in brazil
    I think it'll be a lost closer, maybe that sounds crazy with
    two brazilians fighting each other
    Good luck with it but I just can't bring myself to pull the trigger.


    I do need someone to make a double with woodley however but I don't know who, maybe erick silva? he's a talented fighter but I don't know much
    about jason high


  • Registered Users Posts: 85 ✭✭broders3


    I didn't even cop that they were separate events. Here's me thinking I was getting 2/1,now that you say it, it dawned on me,evens not bad though.

    I really feel like it was schaubs chin rather than a nog resurgence that made him look that good. Both Rothwell and Nelson knocked him silly as well,not that they are light punchers by any stretch.

    I am convinced that silva was roided to the gills when he was putting wins together,he has looked terrible in recent fights.not that calvacante is an angel but I don't see silva winning any fights of significance coming up.the odds should stack up nicely if you go with calvacante/woodley.

    If you weren't sold on werdum the only other ones I could think of (no odds yet but I think Fitch will beat the hell out of burkman,not sure if the Irish bookies would even have odds for that).

    Yves jabuoin should cruise in his fight at 161,fighting a 35'er with 2 straight losses. Other than that the fights coming up look very evenly contested.

    Meant to reference erick silva, not sure I'd pick him in a double.Fitch beat the snot out of him. May not be an easy beating to recover from and high is on a 7 fight win streak with a wrestling based attack.silva could get dry humped in that one.I'd still favour Silva but not 100% sold on him.

    dont see odds now but marius is useless in fairness so he'll either
    ko mc corkle in the first or mc corkle will sub strongman after
    I should have had a bet on that surely?
    ill hazard a guess and say mc corkle is surely the best hes faced
    since bitg tim (certainly better than bob sapp anyway)
    kendall grove on the card also

    now to find somewhere to watch it ;)

    My bets for UFC 161

    Had a double on werdum/woodley which is dependant on woodley coming through on Saturday. Werdum did the business, didn't expect him to sub nog but glad he came through all the same.

    Triple for Saturday is Evans/Woodley/Nelson. Works out roughly 2.5/1 I think. I think Evans will be too fast for Hendo, both looked pretty awful in their last fights but I think Evans has a few big fights left in him. Woodley for reasons posted here already and Nelson should be able to repeat the KO trick against Miocic.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 599 ✭✭✭Ian Whelan


    Use the bet basket option on the page below in order to work out the best prices for accumulators, there is quite a difference in the odds depending on where you go. Just select the + symbol beside your selection's name. The Nelson & Woodley double is 1.2/1 with one bookie and 1.08/1 with another. If it wins that's a difference of 1.20 euro for every 10 euro staked. It does make a difference.

    Personally, I'd steer clear of that fight. It's so hit and miss depending on which one shows up to the fight. The only bet in there that I think is in anyway worth a punt is Henderson by TKO/KO @3.4

    A better treble IMO is Woodley, Jimmo and Nelson.

    I had thought about Nelson by TKO/KO but after seeing the difference in price, it's just not worth it. He's at 1.4 to win and 1.69 by TKO/KO.

    as said above its the nelson/woodley double for me at 6/5

    I'm seeing woodley winning this fight everywhere and finishing jake
    I can't make a case for shield in this at all
    I was planning on going as big as i could on a single on woodley
    until nelson was added to the card

    I don't see miocic doing anything but standing with nelson which
    I think will see him being being put to sleep
    I think it's a real bad match up for him

    From an odds perspective I thought Jimmo was far too heavily favoured @ 4/11 especially as he is coming off a loss. Also, Pokrajac is tough as nails and if he can weather the Jimmo storm he is a nice long shot IMO.

    I think Hendo is becoming more and more one dimensional as he gets older and he looked super slow against Machida(although he makes everyone look slow). I think Evans outworks him for a decision. Always a chance Dan lands a bomb but I don't see it in this fight.

    Im going back and forth completely on wether or not to back Rashad. I just think his speed will be key and Hendo must surely be slowing down by now, hes nearly 43. I dont have access to any betting websites at work here so he might be very short for all I know but Roland Delorme looks a certainty too.

    more of i think of it the more i think ye are right
    evans will do what he needs to do to win
    I'm trying to convince myself otherwise though
    I can't remember a fight where i'm rooting for one
    guy as much as this in a while (with no money on)

    I'd rather watch fitch for five rounds myself

    Went with a quad - Rashad, Roland Delorme, Pat Barry and Tyrone Woodley. Pays about 7/1.

    Really nice odds on that. Hopefully Barry pulls through for you. He is alternates a terrible performance with a good one, so hard to predict which Pat Barry shows up. Hoping he gets a win here, he is such a likeable guy.

    Exactly yeah, normally i'd never ever back him because he's the Liverpool of the UFC but i said id take a chance. He's one of my favourite fighters so i said why not

    lol
    you couldnt possibly have put that any better :)

    I lose when i back him everytime but that is a very nice
    price which would be much the same with shawn jordan in it
    you have me thinking of doing an accum now


    Took woodley to win by ko/tko at 12/5 with paddy
    befair the only others i see doing it (15/8)
    I think that's a big price and i see him doing the same to
    shields as what ellenberger did


    l laughed when i read this
    A bigger name after beating herman and sexyama ffs
    I predict he won't be saying this after woodley puts him away
    there's as much chance of me knocking out shields as there is
    of shields knocking out woodley

    Jake Shields was expecting a bigger "name" than Tyron Woodley for his next fight inside the Octagon, but says he will submit or knockout "T-Wood" when the two scrappy welterweights collide at UFC 161 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada on June 15, 2013.

    Hendo V Evans is 3 rounds is not guys?? might do a method of win / round if so

    Three rounds


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,944 ✭✭✭✭scudzilla


    I see Hendo winning this on decision all day long, Rashad has gone down hill a lot lately, if it had been a 5 rounder then Rashad could have nicked it, but 3 and it's Hendo's

    No luck with the quad but I stuck another fiver on the delorme fight to be FOTN at 18/1 and I think I'm in with a good shout with that, fingers crossed. Shocking night of fights all the same.

    as said above its the nelson/woodley double for me at 6/5

    Think I underestimated miocic, talk about beating the piss out
    of nelson and making him look below average
    the fact that he landed more strikes than jds is incredible

    ]

    Pure muck by woodley
    I don't know how he couldn't beat shields
    it was a pretty tame effort by him and a few more
    leg kicks wouldnt have gone astray given the damage
    he was doing with them
    There didn't seem to much urgency at any stage from him

    Only finished it yesterday myself
    first reverse in a while so here's hoping it's not time
    for another bad run

    Lads, I've a silly question.

    I've started throwing down a few euro on accumulators on some UFC events (I've never bet apart from that), but whenever I go into Paddy Power, they're clueless about it.

    i just write the names and amount down, but the cashier never writes that it's an accumulator or what the odds / payout would be.

    On the off chance I win, will Paddy Power kick up a fuss about it or whatever?
    I don't bet online as I don't want it showing on my cards (even if it's only ever €10).
