broke.

[Kaladarus]

broke.

Don't think so. I wouldn't be surprised if Brooks has made more money betting than anyone else on this forum and Lasker was having really good results recently.

[brooks85]

Thanks for the kind words, maybe some day. Im still betting, ive just lost the desire to post in general, this was the first forum I posted more than a couple post mainly because of players talk. I also wanted to have proof of my record but I really just don't care anymore.


coming up I got

wilcox/alvarez
melendez/alvarez

daley
beerbohm

[ufcmma36]

bol bro some great picks

[beaver4100]

hey brooks why do you like beerbohm over aoki? I was leaning to aoki...

[brooks85]

I think aoki is at the mercy of where beerbohm wants this fight and aoki doesnt offer anything standing. If aoki does manage to pull guard I dont think he can keep it. Melendez for example chose to sit in aokis guard and beat him up, aoki didnt keep him there. I expect beerbohm to keep it standing and against the fence. Beerbohm obviously has tremendous sub defense and healy is signficantly stronger than aoki. Im expecting to see 15 mins of frustation for aoki. If beerbohm plans on spending 15mins in aokis guard he is definitely going to be playing with fire but aoki doesnt have his pants so im not worried too worried.

Yeah, I think Beerbohm may try to stand at first... but he doesn't have the best hands and may end up taking it to the ground and work him there. His sub defense is solid, but I'm not sure how well he handles a guy at Aoki's level. I am also one of those guys that believe Aoki's pants gave him a significant advantage... it's his superman suit. Either way, I like Lyle at +190 and am taking a chance w/ 2u to win 3.8u.

I agree it is bad but bad is better than nothing to offer hehe. Standing with space beerbohm isnt anything special but he is very aggressive and I do think he is good enough to get aoki back peddling and that should get him the win.
