From Bodoglife.com at 4:45pm Central
Jason MacDonald +230
Josh Burkman -295
Forrest Petz +235
Jason Black -265
Matt Grice +205
Jorge Gurgel -165
Alvin Robinson +135
Ryan Jensen +160

Follow after the fold for the moves I made.
I took Tim Sylvia when he was at +125, Alvin Robinson at +135, and Matt Grice at +250 (yeah...I went all dogs for tonight). While I predicted Black to win that fight there is a TON of value in money on Grice. You have to remember that betting is more about finding value than just straight up "who will win." Obviously you don't want to bet on someone you think will lose, but when you look at a fight like Black/Grice it seems like a toss-up for who will ...but the line basically says that Grice is a 2.5 to 1 underdog. That is value.
