Theres a little error in here, the bets say Verissimo defeats Condit, but your post says Anderson Silva vs Carlos Condit, which one is right?

thanks...the bets are right...the card had the typo

Charuto had some issues making weight, but he finally got down to the 175lb limit. Should be a great event. I'm looking forward to it. I hope Trigg can work his way back to the top through this tourney.

Good lord! These odds are insane. I wish I had some points to bet. I freaking lost all mine on Silva and Irvin.

I'm rooting for Trigg but I don't think he could take Anderson out. Anderson takes the finals.

The finals are held on a later date correct?

What odds don't you agree with?

It's not that I disagree. They are just insanely high. Like Charuto vs. Condit. I might just throw down the 500 I have left on Condit that just in case by some fluke he wins.

If he wins, it won't be a fluke....Condit is solid, and Charuto had serious problems making weight. Charuto has the home crowd so I think Condit will have to finish him to win. Charuto seems to be hit or miss to me. He has the talent to beat anyone at that weight, but sometimes he just doesn't have the best gameplan. I think Charuto should pull out the W, but like you said, almost impmossible to win any points on Charuto with those odds, so might as well take a flier on the long shot.

LastExit34 · 01-19-2006, 09:16 PM

Jhun looks like it may be a decent bet at 3-1 but I just can't realistically see him beating Trigg. But hey, I've been wrong before.

angryjonny · 01-19-2006, 09:27 PM

Yeah maybe "fluke" was a bad choice of words. Longshot is much better but I will definitely put my points on Condit. I think Charuto will win. Even though he did have a little trouble making weight I think realistically he should take it. I don't know why but I've always seen more in Charuto than most. So I am hoping he does well in this tournament. I know what you mean about not having the best gameplan. I think once he figures it out he can beat anyone but it's like he is kind of predictable so if you got him figured out he gives up (for the lack of better words) which is disappointing to me.

I don't know about Jhun. He is good but I don't think he has it anymore. If he is going to win against Trigg it would have to be Trigg being dumb and trying to stand with him. Trigg takes it on the ground, Jhun has the better hands though. As long as Trigg is smart he takes this fight.

If you check their website, I believe ROR stated that the semis and finals will be at ther event in May...if I remember correctly

Dammit! I swear I thought the bets were going to be taken til 11 PM central I must have read that wrong and it was eastern. Missed it by 3 minutes.

AikaImmortal · 01-21-2006, 07:40 PM

Since the Silva/Okami fight was a DQ.. easy points were lost by lots it seems. Good thing I didnt bet, I was going to put the house on Silva but got distracted and forgot there was a vbookie going!

angryjonny · 01-21-2006, 09:14 PM

Dude after LastExit convinced me that good points were on Condit I freaking missed it. I could have made some bank on that one. 17 seconds?!?! WTF Charuto? He didn't stand a chance.

AikaImmortal · 01-21-2006, 10:03 PM

I didnt see the event, just talked to danny earlier today and read on sherdog.. sounds like all of the 'wrong' (in the eyes of favorites) guys won!

LastExit34 · 01-22-2006, 12:12 PM

Great event.....it sucks for Anderson to go out like that. Leaves the tourney wide open. Looks like its going to be Shields and Trigg in the finals if all goes according to plan. I'm hoping Trigg can some out on top, but Jake looked impressive against Menne.
