Sons of Kohral Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 All right, now it's time for REAL MMA (jk) Torres is heavily favorited (-340 on bookmaker) but I can't help thinking that they're selling Bowles short. I think if he comes in with a good gameplan and remains calm throughout the match, he could very possibly grind out a unanimous decision. I'm also pulling for Mizugaki against Curran. I don't like him for some reason... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I'm not a betting person so forgive me for asking this. Torres is -340 and Bowles is +280, what exactly are the odds in terms of 2-1, 3-1, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FINisher Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I did my usual five matches on "Double" setup list In other words I chose: LC Davis - Javier Vazquez, 1.90 Diego Nunes - Rafael Dias 3.50 Marcus Hicks - Shane Roller 1.95 Fredson Paixao - Cole Province 2.50 Rani Yahya - John Hosman 5.60 10e bet, on Double so if all end like that I'll get about 90e. But I will only need two to receive atleast some back. EDIT: Wait, what? I did only some pre-show match betting? HAHA. Completely missed the Torres and Bowles, etc.. I'll have to make me a new bet! EDIT2: Couldn't make up my mind so I just threw in another 10e just for Bowles, so it'll be 31.50e if he wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GardnerFTW Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I'm not a betting person so forgive me for asking this. Torres is -340 and Bowles is +280, what exactly are the odds in terms of 2-1, 3-1, etc? -340 would mean that someone has to bet $340 to win $100. +280 would mean that someone would win $280 for every $100 bet.

CapCee Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 HOLY ****! Bowles took those huge hits and just said "**** yo' mama!". Torres wasn't moving down there. I had a bad feeling this would happen. I called several friends of mine who are just starting to get into UFC/ MMA in general and said "hey, this Miguel Torres guy is right up there with Anderson Silva, GSP, Machida etc. pound for pound! You gotta see him fight!" So much for them trusting me on MMA fighters... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHK1978 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I had this weird feeling that Miguel Torres was not going to win tonight. It was not based on anything, I just know that I should have bet on that fight because I was right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FINisher Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Woo~! I won ^^ And stayed on profit thanks to Bowles because the other bets didn't go that well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigpapa42 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Interested to see how Torres comes back. And whether he will get an immediate rematch with Bowles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ShortShortsarentdead Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Holey snugglebunnys that was insane also that fight with Benavidez vs Cruz was just as awesome. Also props to Mizugaki for not tapping out the that great triangle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACCBiggz Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 And whether he will get an immediate rematch with Bowles. He won't. He'll have one fight, if he wins he'll get a title match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
