UFC 76 problem with posting

September 24, 2007

Well I just realized it but my UFC 76 picks post was never published.  My internet connection has been absolute crap for the past two weeks, and I’m pretty sure that was the problem.  It was a shame too, because I did very well with UFC 76.  It was the perfect night for an underdog bettor like myself.  I hope everyone did well, and took the book’s money.

Everything should be back to normal on Wednesday.  I’m going to get more posts going each week as well…

Justin of MMA betting blog (mine against the spread)

  • I’ve gone over this card for the past 5-6 hours and I honestly think the underdog in each bout presents some very good value. This is very rare for me. I have never bet every fight before, but I guess there’s a first for everything. $50 is 1/2 of a unit for me. So a regular bet would be $100 for me.
  • Hironaka +180 at Bodog ($50 to win $90)
  • Leben +170 at BetUS.com ($50 to win $85 )
  • Sell +200 at Bodog ($50 to win $100)
  • Thomas +135 at Bodog ($50 to win $67.50)

    UFC 75 picks

    September 6, 2007

    Well the time has come for UFC 75. I’m very excited to see Rampage and Henderson go at it, and I really think there’s gonna be some gems on this card.

    rampage betting picture

    UFC 75 - Saturday, September 8th at 2PM

    Anthony Torres (-115) vs. Jess Liaudin (-115)

    • There seems to be a large amount of people betting on Liaudin in this bout. For a fight that’s not very popular, it strikes me as a weird spot for so many people to be backing someone at -115. Torres looks to be the play in this situation.

    My bet : 2.3 units to win 2 units on Torres at -115 (odds at Bodog )

    Naoyuki Kotani (-200) vs. Dennis Siver (+160)

    • This is a great spot for Kotani, and I really think he is way undervalued in this bout. I was figuring this line to be about -250 or more. This is a good play and a great value play all in one.

    My bet : 6 Units on Kotani to win 3 units at -200 (odds at Bodog )

    Cheick Kongo (+300) vs. Mirko Cro Cop (-450)

    • Kongo is an amazing striker, and at +300 I have to make a play on him. When someone is great at striking, and they are a big underdog, you are getting good value due to the chance that they win with one shot

    My bet : One half of a unit (.5) at +300 on Kongo (odds at Bodog )

    Other thoughts

    • I like Henderson in the big bout, but I probably wont bet on that fight
    • This card was a bit tougher to gauge due to the fact that it was so close to the last fight, and there isn’t much talk going on about the event.
    • This event being on Spike TV should bring a bunch of new viewers to the UFC.

    You can bet these fights at Bodog and BetUS.com.

    Here’s to this event going much better for us than the last. Post your comments and your picks in the comments…
