[No1mikefan]

:bang: I made money on Ninja and Cung lee. My dumb ass looks at my account and saw that they already paid me so I put it all on single bet on BANG ludwig:bang: :bang: Why couldnt i just have left **** alone? That always happens when I get greedy and try to get just a little more?? Damn I have a hard head :bang: :bang:

[EddieP]

:bang: **** total wipe out for me hit one out of 10 parlays with i think one pending............i gotta quit this ****.................baroni is a ****en ***:blackeye:

[EddieP]

cung lee is terrific:beerbang: well another 150 clams down the toilet:bang:

[yukoncornelius]

I'm surprised Daley beat Ludwig like that... I wouldnt' have put it on it like you did no1mike, oh well though.

Some cool fights tommorow too, including kimbo vs mercer as well. Don't forget, the MONEY MAKING event is July 7th, where I'm pretty much predicting 3 upsets in Marquardt, Hermes (tho I might switch to Sherk given how Hermes is content to be in his opponent's guard) and Rashad.

[No1mikefan]

Yea, Yukon, I got greedy. Happens everytime! Its just like the damn NBA when I chase the late night west coast games!! Kick myself in the nuts everytime! Oh well, that was such a good card that it took some of the sting out of losing my loot. I cant wait for tomorrow night. Im not betting any on the UFC as of yet, just hope B.J. brings it! if you saw that pre fight show, Bad Blood, B.J. looked as good as ever! He really looks in shape when he is coming in at 155! doesnt have that chubby little kid look to him. I hope it goes all 3, I want to see a war!! :beerbang:
