After checking the odds, I see that Silva is at $1.16 (for every dollar you bet you get 16 cents profit) and Irvin is at $5.
Granted Silva is devastating at middleweight, but at a new weight class is it so sure he will be as dominant? Do you think it's at all worthwhile putting some money on Irvin, or will even a larger and more sluggish Silva (although, he may not be sluggish at all) walk through him?

The odds already answer your question - 9 times out of 10 Silva walks through Irvin with ease, but this is a fight, anyone can win of course but based on history I see Silva destroying Irvin...That being said, I've placed a small wager on Irvin just for fun and because I could quadruple my money with one lucky punch - It's definitely not a matchup where you would risk a significant amount of coin

Scott123, interestingly enough I find your posts to mirrior my own thoughts almost 100% of the time. Anyway, I too think that Irvin is a good bet. I want to lay $50.00 on it but I'm not sure how. If I bet at Bodog, do they withdraw your money at the time of your bet or after the event has happened? Any other tips would be appreciated. I also see Ben Rothwell as a good bet. Any body looking to unload some betting knowledge would be greatly appreciated.

If you haven't, read the series of articles in our MMA Wagering Guide: [adminlink]http://mmajunkie.com/news/1500/where-and-how-to-bet-mma-now.mma[/adminlink]
I'm not sure exactly what you're asking re: withdraw your money at the time, so I'm just going to outline the whole process.
Say you chose to open an account and deposit $100 at Bodog. You use our links to get the 10% sign up bonus, of course. You click on our link to Bodog, [adminlink]http://www.bodoglife.com/betting-offers/ufcjunkie.html[/adminlink] and you use your credit card to deposit $100 to open your account. Because of your 10% bonus, your Bodog account will have a balance of $110.
When you make a bet on the site, you lock in your odds and the amount you're risking is automatically put on hold. So if you took that $110 and put a $5 bet on Irvin to win $25, your available balance on Bodog would immediately reflect $105 with a $5 bet pending to win $25.
If the betting odds change later (for example, a lot of money comes in on Irvin and the line moves to +400) your bet at the better odds (+500) still stands. That's why the amount is taken out as soon as you place the bet -- you're buying a virtual ticket at the time you place the bet. If for some reason you want to keep the money available in your Bodog balance (i.e. you're playing Poker on Bodog and need the money in your bankroll) you'd want to wait to place the bet the weekend of the fight, I guess.
Any other questions, lemme know.

Whats your early thoughts on this P?
Helluva nice spread for Irvin, considering the fact Silva is moving up a weight class. We know hes not invincible,and Irvin is pretty tough on his feet. Im thinking maybe the odds will go down on Irvin before the fight, Im considering laying a little on him now, if anything,just to make the fight more interesting. You got an early thoughts on this without commiting to a prediction?

I don't feel like there's enough of an edge here to overcome the lack of information, personally.

i definately want to lay a little on Irvin. The guy has alot of great KO's and he can take a punch.
