Last 3 years posted at Covers: +61.53 units (+$6,153)
2009:-8.29 units (-$829)
Last week: -6.35 units (-$635)


FNF
1 unit on Cayo ITD (+167) vs Diaz
1 unit on Cayo ITD (+160) vs Diaz
.35 on Diaz by 10rd decision (+408)
Pretty much agree with what LMS said as reasoning on Cayo.  Cayo is a bit raw, but I think anybody young and with heavy hands means trouble these days for Diaz.  Hedged with Diaz by decision, because I could see him stinking up the joint and possibly taking it on the cards if Cayo chokes in his first big shot, but I doubt it.

3 units on under 9.5 rounds (-120) in Rossy-Drummond
Rossy sucks and is extremely hittable.  Drummond seems out of shape and isn't so hot himself.  I think both will be sucking wind by round 6 and someone will land something big down the stretch or both will collapse.

Nothing like starting the week from a hole.  Drummond didn't throw enough punches to tire anyone out, not even himself; Rossy was just able to potshot all night.  Bad call on my part.  Props to all Rossy backers too, nice hit.

Added a bit more on Cayo, maybe an emotional bet after the heavyweight slobfest.

Wow.  Diaz is shot.  I don't think this is going to end well for him.

I like Cayo...unorthodox and exciting...he clearly belongs at this level.

Not shot enough to make me a winner.  Yeah, his punches just don't have the zip on them that they used to; his hands and reflexes are noticeably slower.

These FNF main events are killing me, two weeks in a row, right guy, but this idiot here takes the ITD and loses money.  It sucked, Cayo landed his two best punches of the fight in the last 10 seconds of rounds.  I suck.

I agree, fun to watch.  He did look tired in the 10th so I wonder if stamina could be an issue in the future if his opponents make a concerted effort to go after the body.

End of the road for Diaz.

I think Cayo will be in trouble against an opponenet with faster hands than Diaz.  Diaz was landing some shots, but there was nothing on them.  Cayo is only 24 though and he can improve with more experience against better fighters.  I'm interested to watch where he goes next.

3 units on under 9.5 rounds (-120) in Rossy-Drummond

.50 of a unit parlay

Got crushed tonight for nearly 5 hundo.  Hopefully tomorrow is better.  Great job to rest of the board, looks like some good nights.  I'm still kicking myself for my ITD plays on Cayo.

Well that was a quick opener on Shobox, another mid-western fighter hits the canvas early.  Now I just need lady luck to treat me right and Harris to have enough left in the tank to hear the final bell only to lose a decision to Quintero.  Do you believe in miracles?

Well just as I think Quintero is working his way back into the fight for a possible decision win that gets me back on solid soil for the week and Harris seems to be tiring, then boom; Harris drops bombs.  Quintero and Shaw may try to use the hand as an excuse, but really he doesn't react well when he is getting hit, especially on his way back to the ropes.

Another $65 down the pot and 5 hundo losing day.  Bring on tomorrow please.

Tough opening boxing bets, but glad to have you part of the forum.  Stay active on the board.  I saw where you mentioned it was an easy match in your post, I believe in betting boxing you will see those are few and far between with the elements involved.

Ya Cayo isn't very good. He's unorthodox, but that's about all you can say about him. His hands down, chin out will get him killed against a real opponent.

 I like your Bradley pick. I'm a big Nate Campbell fan, however Bradley seems a little too young & quick for him. Nate could do some damage on the inside but I think in a distance fight, (which I expect this will be) he figures to get out pointed.

Would you like him against any of the 4 fighting tonight? I think any of them would beat his ass. Guess that was my point.

If not for the head butt, Bradley Wins by easy one sided decision. Tough brake for you on that bet. I wagered on Bradley but have to admit that is one of the worst calls by a referee I've ever seen. Obvious Head Butt...fight didn't go 4 rounds..... No Decision is the only call. End of Story. This decision figures to be overturned but will not help Bradley by Decision bets. On this site, it seems that the lowest profile handicappers seem to have the best opinions.

Actually at that pace, I don't think a decision was in the cards.  He was going to stop Nate.  Campbell looked even worse then I thought he would, he looked like he was in slow motion.

Agree with you that Nate looked very slow, but He's still a willy old veteran.... Bradley can't really break an egg (as far as punching power goes) so I still think Campbell could have bull-shitted his way to a wide decision loss. I could be wrong.
