In a moment of late night delusion last night I signed up on Bodog and bet on UFC 73...
Fav's
Silva (-160)
o - (-125)
Lytle - (-450)
Bonnar - (-600)
I just couldn't bet against Bonnar and Lytle given their opponents, even if they won't pay much. Nickels is probably the worst fighter in the UFC and Lytle is fighting a LW that's 0-1 in the UFC who is also stepping up to WW on just a couple weeks notice. Hughes couldn't finish Lytle, surely Gilliam can't either.
UD's
Robinson - (+240)
Franca - (+220)
Bocek - (+190)
Saraiva - (+185)
Herring - (+600) - no way he wins this fight, but I had to put something on a big underdog...that and Nog was -1000.
franca is the only upset i could see happening

UFC 73 - "Before The Bell" - The Fight Network
30 min show with Couture as co-host...includes Couture's picks and analysis...

Would it take that much $?
Unless the buy the copyright to a template maybe. Just a basic template that is copyrighted will run 2 to 5 hundred dollars. They need to overhaul that entire eyesore. Its such a good site and its so hard to find your way around.
They spend money on advertising...why not designing.
Crazy f'n 1st round for Nog - Herring
Herring is an idiot...Nog is a badass with a ton of heart. He dominated aside from that goofy ass kick that landed...
Seeing Sherk faceplant was great...Hermes should've gone for the RNC instead of throwing punches. Sherk was just too powerful...
and o vs Rashad...jeez. o lost due to the pt deduction of course, but I think he still had it until that last takedown with 10 seconds left.
0-3 on my bets so far
Finally a hit on a bet...Silva is the man...poor Rich!!

Damnit Robinson!
20 min's left and they're bailing??
2 undercards went 2 min's and another ended in the 1st at 4:55...bull$hit!!
My bets...
Silva (-160) - WIN - minimal return
o - (-125) - LOSS - o lost this one due to a takedown in the last 10 freakin' seconds!
Lytle - (-450) - WIN - but very little return
Bonnar - (-600) - WIN - but very little return
Robinson - (+240) - LOSS
Franca - (+220) - LOSS - damn close to a KO for Franca!!
Bocek - (+190) - LOSS
Saraiva - (+185) - LOSS
Herring - (+600) - LOSS - damn close to winning back half of what I risked in just one fight...
Turned $96 into $36
I almost had a clean predicted card except for that draw......
Considering all the upsets I needed a good call for once. hah

Also, Dana called o an "idiot" on ESPNEWS before the fights. The hosts were kinda shocked by that...also when he said "get his ass kicked" they had to tell him to keep the profanity in check.

holy ...check out Gurgel's face...he took a beating.
The Edgar - Bocek fight sounds pretty good...
http://ufctakedown.com/2007/07/08/uf...ll-tkos-bocek/
Edgar won, but his nose didn't fare too well...
Link to all fights on Dailymotion...hurry while they're up.

Nog is one lucky guy. Imo o could have won the fight, and that was NOT the o of old like he said would be there. The rest of the card was predictable. Sherk is frustrating to watch. I really wish he would finish a fight.
