On Day 1c - I had Vernon - Boatman - Hall to my right.

The fact 2 of the 3 were in the top 5 makes me feel a bit better about being back home before dinner!

WP to all

I've just won a seat for UKPC from Party Poker.

I can't see when it's reg'd for, but I can only play today (Thursday) - is that OK?

What do I need to do to register?

Spencer for the win all thou the $15000 no good he too young to play there

Would that roll over to 2nd place if he wins? OR can he sell the package?

i guess i didn't do too badly...

we need to make Hadrians wall taller.....

i wonder if the players would play better for England if they didn't give their fee to charity?

it seems to be money is the motivator at club level....

isnt lesnar a wrestler?

yes, he was an amateur DIV 1 champion wrestler (which i believe is the highest accolade in American Wrestling). Then he did some pro wrestling (WWE), now he's using his amateur wrestling background and translating it into MMA.

love him or hate him, you can't deny the size of the man, nor the fact that he seems to be one of those people who excel at everything he tries. (although he did fail to get into a NFL team after he left WWE, but set the club record for fastest 0-60mtr sprint in the process)

hey, just noticed this thread, i've been a fan of MMA since 2002 (when UFC first came to England), it's my favourite sport.

Anyway, i don't bet much money myself, but i've had a good run on picking winners, here's my picks for UFC 116 - hopefully/maybe someone can make a few bob on it:

Lesnar V Carwin: Lesnar  - 1.71
Leben V Akiyama: Leben - 2.54
Lytle V Brown: Brown - 2.24
Soszynski V Bonnar: Bonnar - 2.74
Sotiropoulos V Pellegrino: Pellegrino - 2.22
Schaub V Tuchscherer: Schaub - 1.3
Petruzelli V Romero: Petruzelli - No Market Depth
Grove V Relljc: Reljic - 1.55
Harris V Branch: Harris - No Market Depth
Roberts V Petz: Roberts - No Market Depth
Madsen V Vemola: Vemola - No Market Depth

I haven't checked any odds, I don't supposed i've picked all the favourites.

I hope you can make some use of this

You've gone for 4 out of 5 outsiders in the main fight card, see the prices ive posted in your quote box

wow, interesting, now i'm doubting myself!

my theory on Leben was him pulling out an upset (as an underdog), but i don't personally have him as an underdog.

Lytle is really the favourite? he hasn't won 3 in a row since 2004, fighting 17 times since then. Lytle has beaten Brown before, but Brown is so vastly improved since then, whereas Lytle never really shows any improvement fight by fight.

Bonnar/Soszynski is a toss up. Just went with my gut (and maybe the fighter i prefer to watch)

Pellegrino is showing such great improvement lately, he's on a hot streak and i can't see that Sotiripolous will be able to execute his ground game against him.

EDIT: As i've found over the last couple of years, betting on main events is rarely worth it. Either because its a toss up, or because the favourite is so huge there's no value in winning. This fight is the former, a toss up. Lesnar is always the underdog in MMA (according to fans/critics) so i'm backing him this time.

guess we'll see

ok, maybe i can see it when i look at my profile because its me?!

It doesnt matter, I was going to offer any help that i could, then i thought maybe i want to defend the guy.... so best i just leave it there.

I don't have any useful help to the investors, I just know where his parents live, and i'm pretty sure that's where he's holed up atm - to be fair to his family, I don't think we need to share that info at this time.

suffice to say I (used to) know Blatch, and to me, he was always a great character to be around.

having said that, i fully empathise with those who have lost money, I havent seen or spoken to him in years, so I had no idea this was going on (even before it was exposed as a probable scam)

I hope all this is somehow sorted out.
