    Used to do Draft Kings and made some pretty good money. Haven't played in a while though.

    I don't, but most of the money seems to be made on parlays (multipliers if you're British). A lot of people use Bovada without too many complaints if you're worried about shady stuff.

    Thanks for the feedback guys. I was actually looking into Bovada, I'll check out Draft Kings also. It seems like these sites are made more for people who bet often since it can tie up your money until you hit the rollover threshold so I think I'll have to wait for now.

    I do remember parlays working out well in the movie Silver Linings Playbook :)

    Lando Vannata vs David Teymur added to UFC 209.

    Also Rizin starts tonight, probably won't catch it until tomorrow.

    ^made that comment before any of the fights lol. From what i've heard he was brutal.

    Anyways thought King Mo would win for sure, Cro Cop probably back on the sauce.

    I just feel bad for Hendricks at this point. His fall has not been graceful.

    I like how Rizin starts almost immediately after UFC 207.

    Also WSOF is on tomorrow afternoon. Easily their best card top to bottom. Gaethje and Moraes both will supposedly be Free Agents after their fights as well.

    Main Card (NBC)-4:00 ET

    Justin Gaethje (C) vs Luiz Firmino-For LW Title
    Jon Fitch (C) vs Jake Shields-For WW Title
    Yushin Okami vs Paul Bradley
    Marlon Moraes (C) vs Josenaldo Silva-For BW Title

    Prelims (NBC Sports)-2:30 ET

    Dave Branch (C) vs Louis Taylor-For MW Title
    Jared Rosholt vs Caio Alencar
    Shane Krutchen vs Jeremy Mahon

    Prelims (WSOF.com)-1 ET

    Smealinho Rama vs Jake Heun
    Vagab Vagabov vs Bruno Santos
    Andre Harrison vs Bruce Boyington
    Tom Marcellino vs Matt Denning

    Kron Gracie's performance was impressive, happy for Cro Cop crazy 10 years after winning the Pride GP he wins the Rizin GP.

    Gaethje's fight was dope. If he stays with wsof they will probably schedule a rematch. Otherwise, i would like to see him fight Will Brooks in the ufc.
    Now that i think about it, UFC should make Eddie Alvarez vs Will Brooks as the main event of some fight night card. #RealBellatorChamp

    I couldn't hear his walkout music while in the bar but Dominick Cruz's track is addicting. Good a--- stuff to put on a pump up/workout/running track list.

    Alistair Overeem (#3 HW) vs Mark Hunt (#6 HW), Darren Elkins (#12 FW) vs Mirsad Bektic (#13 FW), Todd Duffee vs Mark Godbeer and Paul Craig vs Tyson Pedro added to UFC 209. Hunt finally folded i guess.

    Also Shogun Rua (#7 LHW) vs Gian Villante (#13 LHW) in the works for UFC FN 107 in Brazil.

    Outside of the new fake 145 LB belt there are no title fights booked (interim or otherwise) in 2017. Makes sense because majority of them fought in November/December, but they're are gonna need 2 title fights on 209 or April-June is gonna be a cluster f---. I think Woodley vs Wonderboy 2 or Maia and Aldo vs Holloway should be on that card, because Stipe, DC, Bisping, Khabib (interim), Garbrandt, DJ, Nunes and JJ will all be looking to fight at 210, 211 and 212. Maybe they push a few of them back for their normal July super PPV, but i could see Conor being back by then, regardless of Khabib not being available then due to Ramadan.

    Jacare vs Boetsch added to UFC 208. Easy fight for Jacare, but im not mad at them bolstering the card a little more.

    ^I like that move. Cerrone is killing it at 170. Should get someone like Ellenberger right out of the gate.

    Should be interesting to see how he does at 170.

    Just need Cerrone to grab the belt before RDA gets a chance to
