Strikeforce picks for aug 15

[MR Pain]

there are only 2 lines available and i have taken them both already as i see both going up, not a lot but i do think they will move a little. If i like anything else once it is available i will of course post.

5 units Cristiane "cyborg" Santos -160 (just FYI for anyone who doesn't know i have taken carano in every fight as well as santos in hers, i am a big carano fan but i think it gets ugly for her)

2 units Josh Thomsom -125 (this fight will be great no matter who wins.


Good Luck Everyone

[MR Pain]

ADDING: FIGHT JUST ANNOUNCED

2 units Gegard Mousasi -160

[MR Pain]

UPDATE: for my riders i posted as you guys can see a week a ago, i loked at lines today and said WHAT

cyborg is now -190, -200 at most places and i would still take that, i don't think it's coming down at all.

Thomson went to -140 again not bad i would still take it

Mousasi is now at -260 ! and the only thing i can think of is all the $ is on Mousasi so they need babalu $, and by day of fight you should be able to get mousasi at around -200 but at -260 that's to steep for a challenger in a title fight.


P.S not sure if i'm taking diaz yet, line is too high IMO right now.

[MR Pain]

UPDATE

thomson is a no play as he pulled out AGAIN due to injury (this was going to be the best fight of the card guys, sucks.)

still......
5 units on Santos - 160
2 units on mousasi at -160

ADDING
2 units Diaz -220

BUMP FOR MY MAIN MAN-think i am just playing santos in this one my buddy !!

[MR Pain]

yea santos is my only big play, i do like mousasi a lot brother chunger but the thing shot up 100 points, that's crazy, like i said above if you can get mousasi at under -200 i like it.

[MR Pain]

just checked chung mousasi already coming down now at -230. like i said if you can get -200 or less i like it.

[WayneChung]

well brother you can forget your diaz bet,he said a friend with weed is a friend indeed,jokes aside,he was smoking for medical reasons and they changed the testing on him,think they replaced him with a guy named taylor,may present a better betting opportunity !!

[FB Coach13]

yea Diaz missed his drug test so he his out, he got replaced by Jessie Taylor he was the one who made the finals of the Ultimate Fighter and then got kicked off. He lost to CB Dollaway in his next fight, but has won 7 in a row since.

just so everyone knows this nick diaz is one of my favorite fighters (i have a lot) but he's one of them... he has a ************ and has had one for a while now in california for smoking, this has been going on with him for more than 3 years now, i really don't understand why they did that to him, he has everything outlined in his contracts about the prescriptions and the CSAC had agreed to let him take his tests the day of the fight, (he has been taking them that way for more than 1 year now) he did not miss any test, he was not supposed to be tested and the testing company thought he was so they automatically bumped him from the card. i just don't want people to think he is stupid because a lot of people do, he has a legit **, and anybody that throws 220 punches and lands over 70% of them in the 2nd round i would say is a serious fighter, and is completely focused on training he just needs to have a smoke every now and then, if he fought stupid and gassed after the 1st round i would say he shouldn't fight but not when your throwing 220 punches in a round and you still have more gas in the tank to pull off a submission.

yes taylor is from TUF 7 but if you ask me he is nothing impressive at all, first of all he got submitted via peruvian necktie, i want people to realize that , that was more than a year ago and there hasn't even been another peruvian necktie attemt ! so to get submitted by that submission is bad to say the least, and coach you are correct he is on a 7 fight win streak, but the first 6 came in promotions that i don't even know of in japan and the last win came at DREAM 10 about 2 weeks ago when his opponent injured his ankle 1 minute into the fight, so taylor won....

just want people to get the whole picture coach, not taking a shot at you just want people to know the whole story.

[MR Pain]

that is weird i guess you can't talk about any kinds of medicines granted by DR's on here what's with the *********** ?

[KazDog]

Hey Pain.....You ever hear of a kid named Chad Mendez? He's from Hanford which is near Lemoore. He's 4-0. Not sure what he fights in....
