Plays for the Week

Yep guys, I said I may be missing something here and like a lot of us it couldn't be more clear that I was.  Simply said, I guess I put way to much stock in the size disparity.  Historically in cases with weight class jumps like this it plays a big role in who's hand is raised at the end of the night, but Manny's foot speed and angles were the story of tonight along with De La Hoya seemingly being a dead man walking.  I guess DLH is the exception to the rule, not many upper echelon fighters find a way to lose to a guy moving from 135 to 147 for a big fight, DLH found a way to do it twice (Mosley along with Manny).  Of course Mosley had a couple of fights at welter before fighting Hoya, but they were of the show up and win type.

3.7 units on DLH (-185)
1.5 units on under 9.5 rounds (+160)
1.5 units on fight won't start round 12 (+102)
.40 of a unit on DLH in rounds 4-6 (+947)
.40 of a unit on Pac in rounds 10-12 (+1685)
1.5 units on DLH ITD (+150)

Couldn't have been more off on the winner tonight, it happens.  At least Manny beating him down as decisively as he did softened the blow.  Sure glad that $10 parlay blew up on the Estrada under last night because I would have definitely let a ten spot spot ride on DLH ITD without hedging.  Still a very profitable week, but it would have been real juicy if DLH would have won; close but no cigar there, joking of course.

  Won 5.73 units ($573) for the week.

In the positive now for 2008, I think it's the first time since January.  It's been a great run post the Pavlik-Hopkins weekend.
