My Vegas Bets for EliteXC Event
There are a few good “betting values” out there today’s show. Here is how my $1,000 bank roll is going to be distributed.
FRANK SHAMROCK +105
PHIL BARONI -135
*$250 on Shamrock (I feel confident that Shamrock’s experience, fight game, endurance, and ground skills will help him pull out the victory)
MURILLO RUA -125
JOEY VILLASENOR -105
*$300 on Murillo Rua (Villasenor is a good fight no doubt, but he’s going up against a guy who has fought some of the best in the world. Ninja just has far too much fight experience to lose this one)
CARTER WILLIAMS +115
PAUL BUENTELLO -145
*$250 on Carter Williams (Carter really should be the heavy favorite in this fight. His stand-up is superior to Buentello’s, just take a look at his K-1 fights. Buentello won’t take him to the ground and Carter will easily out-strike him.)
TONY FRYKLUND +240
CUNG LE -300
*$100 Tony Fryklund (I’m not that confident in Fryklund, but there is good value here. If he wins I’ll net $240 for my $100 bet. Tony has been in the business for a long time and Cung Le is not a well rounded mixed martial artist. Fryklund definitely has a chance here.)
NICK GONZALEZ +500
JOSH THOMPSON -700
*$100 on Nick Gonzalez (I don’t necessarily think he will win, but if he does I’ll get a return of $500. Nick has only lost 1 of his last 10 fights, I think the odds are too skewed to not be ignored)
If all of my picks come through, my $1,000 will turn into $2,530. Fingers crossed.
