Clay Guida only won the 1st round, and the 2nd round was very close. Anybody that disagrees with that, doesn't really know how to score MMA.

Im afraid you are completely correct about the home cage advantage, more importantly judges. Two ways Rich wins this... and of course Im still obligated to pick him lol after that write up I did.
1) TKO in 1st or 2nd. 2) Wandy gets SOO tired from trying to put on a great show that he wins 2 of first three rounds, but then Rich is much fresher and CLEARLY wins rounds 4 and 5. I think this fight should be pretty close and entertaining, you can probably guess who I will be rooting for and I really dont blame anyone for laying some cash on Silva. Good luck to all this weekend. Any other plays anybody feels very strongly about? And why? |

It's laughable to hear someone say 'Rich Franklin is a tomato can.' How ignorant. You either don't know MMA, recently started watching (last few years), or just have a bad memory. Where do I start?
First off, I will start with the part that isnt even that important to me. The man has NEVER lost to anyone that wasn't a former world champion. Whenever he wasn't fighting top notch competition, he dispatched of them rather easily. Not saying Yushin Okami, Travis Lutter, MattHamill, Jorge Rivera, Evan Tanner, Jason McDonald, Quarry, Shamrock, Louiseau, etc. are great fighters, but not many of those guys are scrubs either. The main point is, he has fought 5 straight former world champs and I think we all can agree, during that time, he was on the back end of his career. The man is 37 now, almost 38. The UFC didn't offer nearly the fighters it does now, and Franklin still does very well against some of the best. Let me remind you: One judge scored his fight against Dan Henderson as 30-27, giving all three rounds to Rich, which I actually agreed, that was what I scored the fight as well when I watched it live. The other two judges 29-28 for Dan, thats fine though. I know one thing, Hendo is no can. Franklin put on an extremely entertaining main event vs Wandy is their first fight. People talk about this shit card coming up, well it depends what you are looking for. Are you looking for big names on the card (JDS dominating Mir, Cain dominating Bigfoot) or are you looking for entertaining competitive fights. Neither guy is in their prime, sure, but two warriors battling, I will take that in my Main Event every night. The Can Franklin, in his first 13 UFC fights, only one went the distance. I hear people bitch non stop about decisions, Franklin didnt have many. He was either finishing fights or getting finished by the best MMA fighter in history. Check out the submissions Franklin gets out of vs Travis Lutter and Yushin Okami, it was truly amazing what he pulled off. Check out his fight vs Chuck Liddell, granted a washed up one, Chuck brought it that night... and Rich BROKE HIS ARM, still managed to get the KO with his other arm. Check out his rematch vs Anderson Silva, a man who he got thoroughly dominated by in fight 1, then it fight 2, took it to him all of round 1, winning the round until he got dropped by a quick accurate right hand of Anderson. Rich's corner literally carried him to his stool. And what did Rich do at the start of round 2... he went for broke, went on the attack again... then took the 2nd worst beating of his life lol... that was probably the most courageous thing I have seen in the UFC. Exactly what your typical tomato can would do, right? Rich was a top 5 pound for pound fighter even after his lost to Anderson, but everyone of course forgot that, and then he got a little older too, but geez, what do you want the man to do. 5 fights vs world champs in a row, most of them competitive entertaining fights. Answers the bell whenever the UFC has asked, and is a lock as a future Hall of Famer.... Perfect description of a tomato can. |

Anybody who thinks Rich Franklin is a tomato can is a complete BUM.
It is very difficult to imagine anything more ignorant then saying that. |

Division by Division predictions. Picked 80% correct last year 7-0 in season win totals
in MLB Betting
So in actuality, the win total you should love the most would the UNDER for the Giants, correct?

Bepster, good point. I am very seasoned, went through the super square early days years ago to sweeping the weekend in CBB this past weekend, for example. Not to toot my own horn, just saying.
I guess my question would be, if you new to betting baseball, but are very knowledgeable in sports betting and other sports, who would you tail with your own money in the MLB? |

HoustonSports. Advice much appreciated. I do only want to tail one person only, and I wish it was myself, as it is in every other sport, but as forementioned, baseball is not my cup of tea.
As far as where to get my info, im well versed in places to avoid, but thank you |

lewlew, Is that question directed towards me? lol
I thought I made it clear I dont follow baseball or possess the knowledge necessary to win at this point. Money management is not an issue. But baseball has the smallest returns for virtually every sportsbook, so that is why it is fact it's the best sport to profit on long term. KeyElement, that is what I intend to do, feel things out in April and see then make decisions at that point, thanks for the advice bro. |

Any suggestions here my friends?

I admittedly know very little about baseball. Except for one thing, it is the easiest sport to win at long term. That is no opinion, straight fact. I am pure NFL and CBB actually.
My inquiry is simple. I am looking for somebody to tail during the baseball season, I dont plan on deviating one bit from their plays if I am truly given a solid capper to follow. Maybe that person is on this site, maybe not. I would love to here suggestions, and be serious. I have been around the block, I can tell a scammer from a sharp, from a square and so on. Problem is, I have never bet baseball and never taken the time to figure out who can get it done throughout the spring and summer! Thanks in advance! |

Partiot League is much stronger then in years past. Lehigh wins this game outright.

102-60?! You are red-hot if that is correct, you definitely have a feel for things then.
Did you bet every conference tourney game or what? lol |

I was actually loving LBSU, waiting to see who they drew... but they ARE NOT beating New Mexico. I believe UNM is in the top 5 most under rated teams in the nation.

I don't start topics often but when I do they have value and results
in College Basketball
Oregon will cut em' in LA.
Im not surprised Vegas released them as the 2nd biggest fav in the tourney. I am surprised Joe Lunardi still thinks they arent one of the 68 best basketball clubs. |

It sounds simple, but this guy is not that interested in line movement and silly trends. He caps basketball games with the immense amount of knowledge about the sport he possesses. Which is much better then any other method of capping.
That is why he is getting hot. |
