LoSt's Gambling Thread

[r.payton@att.net]

We also have a 1 weeks sig bet for Askren V. Pendleton Vais takes Askren, Lost takes Pendleton.

And a 1 month sig bet that Herkey will not make the fantasy playoffs

I say Herkey will, LoSt says no.

Do you perhaps mean Patterson -the 184 who led the nation in falls last year ?

No...we were betting on the sunkist open sadly enough... I lost. It was too much of an emotional bet, which is why it was only a week.

I thought Askren would win too, VA. Pendleton was just too fast for Askren. Ben is great from unorthodox positions but he seems to lack a really deep, penetrating shot. Cost him in that match when he took a leg attack, didn't get in far enough,and Pendleton re-shot for the takedown and the win.

Plus Askrens been training MMA lots, and was up a weight where he was majorly undersized. Askren is better for my money and his international resume will speak for itself when it's all said and done.

Those two cash bets are interesting. I expect Scott to finish top 5 (assuming he doesn't go nuts), and I think Vallimont is as good as anyone not named Schlatter at 165. With that said, I wouldn't be surprised if he placed outside the top 5 since it's so stacked and there is so much parity.

yeah i figure worst case scenario it's a wash.

Alll I hear is wahhh wahh wahh, LoSt won and I owe him my sig

hmmm... now what should it be

[arm-spin]

Askren may be better (has better credentials so far in FS) but not in this match-up. I doubt he's much smaller than Pendleton. He's big at 74, Pendleton's small at 84 kg, and Pendleton didn't wrestle at all last year as far as I know. Askren just got beat.

[LoSt]

So by way of clarification I've talked to vais and if Scott makes top 5 at 141 I still win (as was my original intent and wording of the bet both on aim and here) and that Herkey bet is not real, I dont know where he is getting that from.
