AmScray 355 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I got a sample card with four picks I'm totally OK with (Rousey, A Silva, Rua and Magny) and am still not priced out, with 9500 left and lots of unknowns going cheap, and that is WITH Rousey at the ball-breaking price of 12200+.

Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I guess you have to take Rousey if you can get fights you like with the remaining money. It's as close to a guaranteed 100+puts you can get. I just feel she's gonna be on 90% of the cards. But, who cares, right? Make the other 4 picks count. You're taking Magny? That's super surprising. Maia takes him down and beats him up and hopefully submits him, I think Magny hasn't faced this level of comp yet. I just worry about Maia falling in love with his standup for 3 rounds.

Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Rousey really screws your budget. Rousey, Maia, both Noguera brothers and A Silva. Don't live my card, but if you don't take Rousey, which seems like a guaranteed 110pts, you gotta be perfect and pick at least 4 finishes. I'm not that confident in any fight on this card.

Scroom 436 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Ronda is a Draft Kings cancer. She's going to price astronomically high and she's going to get a 1st round finish most of the time, meaning you must either take her and make due with garbage, or pass on her and try to out-maneuver the field with other picks. The saving grace on this card was A Silva going cheap, which offset the Ronda premium but if he had been priced appropriately, it would've been a very hard card to make. I did not win any money on DK (because of Magny) and only a little bit on A Silva moneyline. Link to post Share on other sites
Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I got finishes wit Rousey, Silva and Maia. Nog bros fcked me but I had such s limited budget. I nearly tripled my buy in. (Fine, won $8 on $3 lineup) Oddly, the winners, who split prize 4 or 5 ways, didn't have Rousey on their common card. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 How big was your field? 38k Just finished 4668 out of 134k in golf card. Another $5 profit. Made $10 whole dollars this weekend on 2 cards. Not sure why that give me pleasure, but it does. Link to post Share on other sites
Scroom 436 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 If you're cashing in the larger fields, try some HU matches. They're a bit sharkier but if you're good enough to stay in the black on big fields, you'll at least be level with most of what I'm seeing in the HU matches. Link to post Share on other sites

The eye gouging really annoyed me this time around too. I can't believe how much eye gouging he got away with without being penalized. Mazzagatti definitely should have been taking points, so he screwed up bad too, but he was also clearly warning Palhares a bunch of times about the eye gouging and Palhares just went immediately back to doing it anyway every time. And I don't buy for a second that he "couldn't understand" due to the language barrier. I don't even like Jake Shields, but I felt bad for the dude having to put up with that. The scratches around his eyes made it pretty clear that Palhares was raking and gouging like crazy, Link to post Share on other sites

Scroom 436 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 The only one I'm not comfortable with is Dariush, but he's a good sub play. Tim Johnson is a pretty scary hw striker, but his skill base is wrestling. Good luck with that against Rosholt, who should win by boring decision. The new guy against Uriah "Cowardly Lion" Hall is interesting, particularly given his moneyline. Bamgbose by savagery. I have a small line bet on him. Teixeira by experience, Brunson by mismatch. Medium moneyline bet on Brunson. If Alvey is able to pull off the knockout, he truly has magical power. Link to post Share on other sites
Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Read the Sherdog preview on all the fights and they sold me on Salazar and Borg. Johnson was so good against Barboza, who can be tough to figure out. A heavyweight should go down and Rosholt seems solid enough. Borg Johnson Rosholt Salazar Alvey. For value, and three 1st rd kos in a row Link to post Share on other sites

Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Dammit But Dariush or whatever, he's a wrestler type right, not a finisher. I try to avoid those. KO's win cards, not decisions. Link to post Share on other sites
