The $100 Experiment: UFC 87 Results

Last night's UFC 87 was the most successful night of MMA gambling I've had thus far.  Here's the breakdown:

Cummo vs. McCrory, $1 on McCrory @ +110, won $1.10.  I put down this bet because of reports that (a) Cummo was fasting before this fight, and (b) he doesn't cut an ounce to make weight.  My small risk was rewarded nicely.

Florian vs. Huerta, $4 on Florian @ -140, won $2.86.  This fight went almost exactly as I thought it would, with Huerta pressing the action and Florian picking him apart.  Huerta was visibly frustrated through the entire fight and Florian was never in danger.  I think the line was pretty far off on this one...

Parlay on Wilson/St. Pierre, bet $2, won $1.38.  I'm still testing the waters with parlay bets, but I figured that each fighter had a pretty damn good chance to win their fights, but the payout wasn't high enough to put any individual bets down.

Overall, I went 3-0 with my bets, and won a total of $5.34.  This pushes me into the black for the first time since the experiment started.  Right now, I'm 11-8 in my picks, up a total of $2.47, and a bankroll of $112.47.

The future is looking good, and I'm super excited about some upcoming bouts, especially Liddell vs. Evans, for which I managed to hop onto Chuck at -260.
