Prospect Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 237 Location: Texas	#1 Posted: 6/27/2012 5:01:52 PM Would net almost 5k. Made these parlays back during NBA Conference games, mixing totals, sides and UFC. 3 - 3teamers 1 - 4teamer. At the time, i was most concerned with Silva, seeing such a low price (-260) drew some red flags, not to mention Sonnen is the definition of a live dog. But after Silva's "break your fuckin face and teeth" rant. I think we'll see one of the scariest performances in Octagon history....and i fear for Sonnens family (not Sonnen, hes a friggin douche) So i'm already marking Silva up as a win My real worry is the mess that is Forrest Griffin.......i originally saw the price (-300) and opponent (Bum who went 1-6-1 in last 8 fights) and thought no brain-er. but now i'm worried , very worried b/c i want that friggin cash so bad. What is everyone's opinion on Forrest vs Tito? Is Tito to old? Is Forrest to unpredictable? darn.... a big pile of money rest on the hands of goofball Forrest Griffin....thoughts?????? i need a Xanaz.

Forest seems to be more interested in this fight than last. But he looked so bad vs rua it was embarrassing. And like sharp said, the emotion for Tito especially will be at a high. This fight, like his fight vs bader was looking like his last, and he l

Two Questions on Silva/Sonnen 1) How did Sonnen PEDs use really affect the 1st fight? 2) Do we really know the significance of this knee injury? @rapistberger84 Whu are you so high on Forrest? (i wanna be optimistic, i picked him)

Just 3 fights ago, Tito opened as the favorite. It settled as Forrest as the slight favorite. And the fight was a split decision. So I don't understand where the -300 line comes from. Especially when you throw in the fact that this is Tito's last fight and he will be as ready as he can be.

But Tito has arguably looked better than Forrest over the last 2 years. Forrest's heart isn't all in anymore either. He realizes his time as an elite 205er is gone. And there really isn't anything left for him to do other than get smashed by the elite. If I were to guess, I would say he will retire in a couple more fights himself.

As far as questions for Silva/Sonnen: 1) Was Spider truly injured in the first fight? I think the "extra emotion" works against him, not for him. You'd be ridiculous to think he didn't give everything he had in the first fight (unless he was hurt). He's in the late stages of his career. If he's looking to injure Sonnen, he could be DQ'd. What exactly is he doing differently this time? I know, I know this time I'll punch Chael in da face

I originally thought it was because Tito is washed up and basically a 'Paycheck" fighter... but now i'm thinking, its due to Forrest's large fan-base and a majority of hate that falls on Tito. I feel dumb for betting so reckless, at the time though.....idk I still believe 100% Silva will destroy Sonnen, he is too gifted, and after seeing Sonnen fight once, i think all those mistakes will be corrected 10fold.

At least you should be able to guarantee a profit. Good luck.

A fluke win because of a Shogun injury and a BS decision over Rampage doesn't make you an elite 205er, and neither does running out of the octagon and crying (twice, once vs Jardine, once vs Anderson). If the fight is close, however, the racist judges will go with the white guy. THAT'S WHY IT'S -300
