7 cards in a row is just brilliant. I will hit you up before the next card so we can compare some of our picks.

Sounds good man seems like you killed it. This is for sure the longest streak I've been on since I started betting, I don't think I've had more than 4 in a row before.

Fun card. Think the judges did well for the most part. Only two maybe Marvin and santos you could complain some but both could go either way. Underdogs showed up!

Just from first glance at next week there seems like there could be a lot of interesting lines. A ton of them I either disagree with or feel like I'd need to look into. This week was very tough since I don't bet favorites that much and seldom parlay.
Next week should have less setup fights.

Hey your bets are good. Come brainstorm with me Andrew and Bananas as well next card.

Can't forget the MVP Mezzor

Leon hard not to like and awesome for UK MMA. 

Usman very classy in defeat. Much respect and I say that as someone that didn't really like him up until that point. Made me a fan tonight.

I pop in here from time to time but I can't keep up with the activity of you guys. I spend most of my days working, either regular job or tape study. Trying to get to a point where I can go fulltime pro with betting, just need to build a good bankroll then I'll quit my other job. Could take me a couple of years though.

I actually think Mezzor is a plant from the bookies
 They have infiltrated Tapology and they have this ******** looking guy making picks they hope people will listen to and lose money. But we have figured out the secret and just make so much cash off fading his picks

I think if Usman did anything with the grappling he could of stole some of the rounds for himself. I don't care if you do control time and takedown if you don't score from those postion, And Usman didn't really scored, Close fight on the feet, But Leon won clearly imo

I thought the judges was either correct, Or I have betting things to complain about for the fight I watch on the card

Yeah I hear you. But who cares man, your reads are good. I for one will be interested in anyone you flag. No pressure, just if you do have anyone you like. Let's talk then

I can't believe what I am going to say but thanks. I followed your philosophy of making a small bet on the dog in WMMA and leaving out Miller in my plays.

Maybe you aren't 100% ********

That's hillarious. But honestly no one wants to see Belal as champ. Worse than Usman.

For sure, I do post breakdowns every now and then in the main threads. I used to post a bit more often in the "best bets" thread in the Republic of Autardistan group but HiDeff got pissed of at Tap or something and stopped posting and he was the main guy I'd exchange bets with on there.
