sheilds +325 hominick +350

Im not much of a betting man but this looks good to me for two upsets that actually have a chance of happening imo.

150 on each wouldnt be bad

Waste of money.

I'd put it on Hominick before Shields

This gives me an idea for a thread.

Pinnacle sports has Homminck +355 today, best I've seen lately.

Sports Bet has Shields at +363 best money.

Damn, I don't get how Edgar(-147) is still a favorite against Gray(+130). Basically 0-2 vs the guy.

well he did come closer the 2nd time around lol

It's too bad US residents can't use Pinnacle. They stopped serving customers of the US in 2009 I think. If anything I'd put something small on Hominick because depending on Aldo's game plan it may or may not be a total waste.

I heard FullTilt Poker, Poker Stars and Absolute Poker got seized by the feds this weekend.

...the government has come down hard in blocking access to these overseas enterprises. It also seeks $3 billion in damages for the alleged money laundering...

Isn't online gambling kind of a gray area? Always too scared to do it.

Yeah my money is frozen on poker stars right now. Hoping to be able to withdrawal in a couple weeks

Apparently the issue is that these companies set up fake bank accounts so as to give payouts because most US banks won't process transactions having to do with online gambling. The US government feels this attempt at setting up as many as 75 fraudulent accounts warrants damages.

Shit throwing a 50 dollar bet on Shields might not be a bad plan.

No surprise. But the Full Tilt is no longer a sponser for the UFC.

"The UFC had a huge new sponsorship deal on the table with Full Tilt that will now go out the window with the feds bust."

My money's on GSP for sure. Shields has very little chance of winning. These odds are a lot closer than I thought they'd be. They're about the same as the Koscheck fight, and Shields doesn't even have the threat of the big shot that Kos had.
