Ya seems high. I do think McCall is the favorite but I think I recall seeing a line around -150 and thinking that was correct.

I am a humanitarian, so please, listen to me.

DO. NOT. BET. RUMBLE. Rewatch his fight with Arlovski. Also remember how the Overeem hype came crumbling down. (different fighters but the same explanation for their newfound greatness.)
Davis looked straight up afraid against him. Alex will not.

Very surprised at the Davis-Bader line. Seems like Davis do not like to fight bangers who can also wrestle.
Akira vs. Sicilia may be a bit off. Akira always perform over expectation in Sweden and Sicilia is not very good.

Gustafsson is a stylistically bad matchup for Johnson, he has good cardio and a great chin. However, there are ways for Johnson to win, he hits hard as hell and Gustafsson has shown some weakness in his defensive striking, he got caught several times vs Shogun and Manuwa so he def has to be careful. Johnson also trains under Hooft so his mauy thai has gotten a lot better.
Still I favor gustafsson just for the fact that when u have 2 top strikers, it usually goes to the guy who has better cardio.

Will Musoke be able to get to the clinch and score TDs? Think thats his best path to victory here. Also will be interesting to see how his chin holds up, hasn't been KOed before but hasn't faced any top level strikers with power either.

Tumenov at -135 seems pretty solid.

I said it before his debut, and I'm sticking to it. Tumenov is the future of the 170lbs division. he is a very solid bet vs Musoke at these odds.

Musoke is very talented himself, and actually a really good striker. However he has a tendency to get hit at times where he really shouldn't, and when he does he has shown to be quite chinny.

Tumenov is just a little more technical, and tends to hit you with just the smallest openings. add that to the power he packs when he does, and it all but spells a KO for him....also he will have a wrestling/grappling edge.

Anyone know why Taisumov is such a huge favorite? One site has him over -1500 and his opponent is 13-1 in his last 14 fights.

We are starting an MMA bankroll for 2015 and I will be posting picks and results. each unit will represent 1K USD and we will try to stay away from heavy favorites (anything past -450) as much as possible and catch early lines (this event not being the best example lol). Will try to post our reasoning as much as possible.

Hope everyone makes $ this year.

Record: 0-0-0

*Larkin (-145) v Howard: 1.45u to win 1u

I want to start w a big bet as my biggest fear here is not a Howard KO but a hugfest against the cage. I believe at WW Larkin will not get wrestledfacked as much as at 185 , he should dominate in the stand up (more variety and imagination) and just needs to stay away from the clinch & cage.

*Bendo (-130) v Cowboy: 0.65u to win 0.5u

Bendo needs to make a statement or he becomes irrelevant and moves up to his natural weight class. He has the tools to beat Cerrone, has solved the puzzle 2x already and the size/strength to stay away from his submissions. Also he would rather do back-to-back camps than face Khabib.

So a pretty good debut, I loved Bendo's performance and imo he is 3-0 vs Cerrone. This next event should be good, we kept n eye on these lines properly.

Updated Record: 1-1 +0.35u and onwards

*Dan Henderson (+505 @ 5D) v Mousasi: 0.2u to win 1.1u

Loving this price on Hendo. He lands that H-Bomb at some point and Mousasi is very hittable. An odds play.

*Cristodolou (+800 5D) v Taisumov 0.1u to win 0.8u Another odds play.

*Cris Beal (-180 AVG) v Seery 0.9u to win 0.5u

*Davis (-189 @ Pinny) v Bader 1.89u to win 1u The big play of the night, we believe Davis' athleticism will give Bader fits. On the feet Davis can use his reach to make it a very boring 30-27 decision or a hugfest.

*Gustafsson (-260 AVG) v Rumble 1.3u to win 0.5u

Gus' boxing and conditioning will make the difference on this fight. We believe he finishes Rumble late in the 3rd or early on the 4th after cruising on the scorecards for the first 2 rounds as Rumble tires.

Looking very interesting:

Pettis -300
Weidman -334
Machida +129
Aldo we caught at -140 might put more near fight time as that MacGregor $$ comes in.

Possible FOTN. That was great. Sadly I have 29-28 Beal. 1st/2nd were close though. Hopefully Seery gets one of them.

Yeah idk about that one. Not a robbery by any means. 30-27 probably incorrect.

I'll take it though. +7.3x units already.

Not a robbery but 2X 30-27 is way way off.
