Decided to start my own thread rather than keep high-jacking Brook's, Illmatick's and Eccocide's threads with my picks!

For UFC 115 so far I've got:

2.5 units (double) on Wilks (2/7) and P.Thiago (4/9) to win 2.1 units (plus stake back)

0.5 units (double) on Barry (4/6) and Rothwell (4/6) to win 1.4 units

Straddle - 0.4 units on Liddell by KO (9/4) to win 0.9 units; & 0.5 units on Franklin by Decision (3/1) to win 1.5 units

And for banter!:

0.2 units (sixfolds from 7 to win) on Wilks, Wiman, P.Thiago, Miranda, Barry, Rothwell, & Simpson to win 2.3 units

Will look to add Condit/Macdonald to decision as soon as it's available on PaddyPower! Good luck this weekend all!

[Eccocide]

Waiting on condit/mcdonald goes the distance as well. GL!!!

[illmatick]

GL guy... still trying to decide how I want to parlay Wilks

[doubleleg]

I'm looking at Condit winning that decision.

[ddream1]

gl sir!!

Everybody check out this ridiculous article by "Douglas Todd," a Vancouver journalist who represents everything that is wrong with journalism, today! Some of the highlights of this article include: "A sexual undercurrent flows through Ultimate Fighting Championship as well. Often performed by men with smooth-shaved bodies wearing revealing tight shorts, the fighters regularly twist themselves into startlingly suggestive positions."

Without reading it that does factor into why so many girls dig it, been to more UFC parties w/ women than any big football game.

[Vaughany]

Pyle triangle chokes Lennox in 3rd round! Underdog wins!

[WileOut]

I like the Thiago pick

"A sexual undercurrent flows through Ultimate Fighting Championship as well. Often performed by men with smooth-shaved bodies wearing revealing tight shorts, the fighters regularly twist themselves into startlingly suggestive positions."


that is definitely up there with one of the more idiotic things I have ever read.

So he is saying a woman might possibly be attracted to man a who fights in the UFC. Wow that would be a shocker, a woman sexually attracted to man.. what has the world come too?

[Vaughany]

Wilks wins decision! Jus need Thiago to win now and ill have my whole stake for the night back just from tht bet!

[illmatick]

nice hit Vaughany !

[Vaughany]

Cheers brah! 4 out of 4 so far thanks to Miranda, Wilks, Wiman and Rothwell....C'MON P.THIAGO!

[Vaughany]

After such a good start, ended up being a DISASTER! Screwed by Barry and Thiago losing! Hopefully my World Cup bets will save me!

[Vaughany]

Hornbuckle and Simpson double... 1.5 units to win 1.7 (plus stake)

[Vaughany]

Check out this handsome swine's predictions for MMA including Bellator or what he seems to like to call "Bell-ater!" and "Weck" otherwise known as WEC! I think his vast knowledge of MMA might even surpass that of the great Chairib's! Gotta love this guy and his accent...enjoy!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6fAgk5f_ss

[Vaughany]

Predicting Noons, Lawler, Kennedy and Zaromskis to win. No money on it tho...all tied up in World Cup and Hornbuckle!

[Vaughany]

2 low risk - low chance - high value parlays!:

Parlay 1:

0.1 unit (Sixfolds from 8 to win) on - Freire, Grispi, Shalorus, Noke, Tavares, Attonito, McCray and Fisher - to win 3.8 units.

Parlay 2:

0.1 unit (Sixfolds from 8 to win) on - Askren, Simpson, LC Davis, Siver, McGee, Yager, Gunderson and Bryant - to win 4.1 units.

[Vaughany]

Added Hamill, Holland win/draw and Ghana win/draw 0.5 units to win 0.6 units (plus stake).

[phillybadboy]

good luck saturday night man.

[Vaughany]

Cheers! Added some more parlays and singles:

0.05 units on - Darabedyan, Assuncao & Jardine - to win 0.2 units.

0.1 units (Fivefolds from 6) on - Bryant, Browne, Camozzi, Holst, Simpson & Ghana win/draw - to win 1.8 units

0.08 units (Sevenfolds from 8) on - Browne, Attonito, Simpson, McGee, Fedor, Cristiane Cyborg Santos, Wanderlei Silva & Soszynski - to win 0.8 units

0.1 units on - Campuzano - to win 0.275 units

0.1 units on - LC Davis - to win 0.25 units

0.2 units on - Shalorus - to win 0.475 units

0.2 units on - Caraiso - to win 0.55 units

That's all for now! BOL to all!

[Vaughany]

0.85 units on - Ward by decision - to win 1.8 units

0.1 units on - Greene by TKO/KO - to win 1 unit

[Vaughany]

Damnnnnnn, Bryant and Simpson losses have ruined a lot of my parlays. From now on I will never bet on a mid-level fighter like Simpson when they are at -200 or worse...in hindsight he shouldn't of been at -275 or whatever it was...but after seeing how comfortably Rosholt took out Leben I just couldnt see Atrain losing. He looked gassed out after 3 minutes which shocked me seeing as he is supposed to be a cardio machine?! And why didnt he attempt any single or double leg takedowns? He just kept hugging Leben against the cage and taking uppercuts....terrible strategy! Thought Bryant was decent value and thought he might be able to grind out a decision but Noke showed why he was one of the favourites. Wish id of put some single bets on Attonito and McGee tho who I was sure were going to win. Andre Ward decision win came through and Hamill winning helped.

Overall had 2.55 units at stake (for TUF, Ward v Greene, WEC, and Strikeforce - Fedor vs Werdum) and am up 0.4 units (due to Ward by decision & Hamill, Ghana and Holland parlay) and still have the following singles and parlays in play:

0.1 units on - Campuzano - to win 0.275 units

0.1 units on - LC Davis - to win 0.25 units

0.2 units on - Shalorus - to win 0.475 units

0.2 units on - Caraiso - to win 0.55 units

0.08 units (Sevenfolds from 8) on - Browne (won), Attonito (won), Simpson (lost), McGee (won), Fedor, Cristiane Cyborg Santos, Wanderlei Silva & Soszynski - to win 0.8 units (wont win 0.8 units due to Simpson loss but can still win a smaller amount if remaining picks wins)

0.1 units (Sixfolds from 8 to win) on - Freire, Grispi, Shalorus, Noke (won), Tavares (won), Attonito (won), McCray (lost) and Fisher (lost) - to win 3.8 units (same as above parlay - need Freire, Grispi and Shalorus to win to gain anything)

Will probably add one or two more parlays or doubles with Varner, Wineland, Darabedyan and Assuncao involved!

0.1 units to win 0.2 units -

Varner
Paraguay - win/draw (against Slovakia)
