    Exactly. That's my exact approach. Do you follow mma at all?? There's a UFC next week, and it's the dog card of the last 5 years. A guy named Yoshida is fighting another judo player named Karo, and Yoshida is going to steam roll him, but hes over +220. Plus, Karo is suffering from a heavy dose of panic attacks and had to change gyms for training and a bunch of stuff.

    On top of that, this guy name Dong Hyun Kim, "Stun Gun", is fighting Matt Brown, a contestant off the last Ultimate Fighter series. Kim is undefeated, trains with Yoshihiro Akiyama, Yushin Okami, a great camp. He's -150, against Brown, who is 10-6 and basically a c level guy.

    Kim is the future of the division and most say he's going to give GSP his toughest fight (aside from BJ) because he has amazing striking, hes impossible to take down, great judo and deadly gnp and subs. He will destroy Brown. That's as close to a lock as you get.

    I do watch MMA but I do not follow it close enough to really bet on it other then at a party or bar with a friend. I assume MMA is like boxing though and there are good bets to be had if you know what to look for.

      That plane flight kills the Thai fighters. You face some serious jetlag jumping over 14 time zones.

        Khan v Prescott - Khan is a 1 - 10 favourite
        Dawson v Tarver - is even money

        Interesting, I thought.
        Where I bet Dawson is a 2-1 favorite. I'd be all over him at even money.

          Yeah, he better be smart enough to arrive in Mexico at least 10 days before the fight to get acclimated to everything.

              I thought Mijares was going to knock him out even if he arrived early, this just increases the likelihood of that happening.

                I flew back from Thailand in June and it took me at least 10 days before I shook off the jetlag, and it still lingered for awhile.

                    Who are you? You have an alt name but I remember the gotta be su****ious thing.

                      Katsidas is +235 Diaz is -295
                      At bodog I think you can never wager more than 500 dollars which is pathetic. That is the worst site known to man, they are all about them winning, they put up very late lines on all sports, I wouldnt use that site.
