Re: UFC 76
[ QUOTE ]
not accepting the value of rooting for someone/enjoying the fight is a non-sports-fan's attitude. [/ QUOTE ] Not really, I am both. A fan of sports and a sports investor. However whatever I bet on, I will be rooting for period. Otherwise why bother betting? If you see a good bet and don't take it because of likes or dislikes you are selling yourself short.

[/ QUOTE ] I am not a professional bettor myself. In fact I am a MUCH better boxing bettor than MMA bettor. I do well enough, but not enough to where I would quit my job and just bet. Anyways even if someone isn't a professional at something they should always try to improve. Just betting on your favs or against guys you don't like is kind of silly to me. If you see value in something and have an advantage I don't see how you don't bet it. People who say they are just small bettors and betting for fun sell thereselves short IMO, I know I have been there.

Re: UFC 76
Well, when it comes down to it, I like watching MMA and rooting for guys that I like. I'll never place a bet against the Chicago Bears or White Sox, etc. because that would totally ruin the experience of watching the game. Am I losing monetary EV? Sure, but it's so marginal and is more than made up for in the life enjoyment EV I gain having a good time watching the fights.
If you want to bet for or against any fighter, regardless of your personal feelings, that's all fine and dandy. I just think it's extremely rude to tell other people how they should enjoy MMA.

Re: UFC 76
Couture's picks are in:
Liddell - Shocking, I know Griffin - Claims Griffin will win all 3 rounds. Doesn't mention KO.. Since he's on the same team, I think that pretty much confirms Forrest's game plan is to stay the hell out of range. When Couture bets on the same sides I'm on, I'm one happy camper. Randy also has Griffin and Fitch.
