The Betting Fix: UFC 143 Condit vs. Diaz Fight Lines and Betting Odds

February is upon us with it's freshly squeezed tantilizing tidbits of gambling debauchery! Mmm tidbits. There's nothing better than tiddle bittle of excitement violently mashed into your good morning acai bowl. A warm glass of pee simply doesn't leave you nearly as satisfied, I'm sorry Mr. Machida, but this is the truth. Just ask Gal's Guide's very own contributing member Balrog, who blasted through the tidbits of the competition to become January's Betting Fix weiner winner! No bossum hugs for Balrog, but hey! He did get to choose my lovely new signature. He claims it has to do with Black History month, but I believe this is just a classy cover to sniff butts. But then again, I'm a strong theorist that any sort of reference to history is simply a means to sniff butts. Being in the middle of a twin-induced bossum hug of glorious glory is pretty sweet. But for our friend Balrog, sniffing butts reigns supreme.

Don't be intimidated by the Bal of Rog's massive penchant for butts and good betting choices, fore in these acts there is always a downfall. Maybe someone farts? Maybe someone pulls a Matt Serra? Maybe someone pulls a Matt Serra by farting? Surely there shall be a moment of opportunity to surpass the great Balrog's uber glory and dethrone him from the Betting Fix throne of bad assery. And by throne, we mean stool. And by stool, we don't mean sniffing butts.

This week we have a fabtaculouso card with UFC 143! There are tons of terribly hard fights to call here, and a few duh choices that will most likely end in spectacular upsets due to me calling them duh choices. What's there not to like about that? Total, utter betting shenanigans! That's how we like it, so roll up your hypothetical sleeve, pull down your proverbial pants, and prepare to give it or take- cuz this is the Betting Fix.

Fight lines and betting rules are after the jump...

*Sunday Evening Edit* We had a very close main event this week both in the octagon and out. Yes, I'm leading into this week's scores with that cheesy clique of an intro- deal with it. Miss Donna of Gal's Guide to MMA Royalty through a monkey in Bloody Elbow's elite blogger Tim Burke's wrench (or something like that). Donna's 13.75 units matched Tim's 13.75 units with authority, bringing a drop dead tie to start February's madness. We'll have to defer to next week's UFC on Fuel to see who comes out on this one on top. Kat managed to add an extra unit to walk away with 11 this week, while the rest of us were lucky to walk home with any at all.

Donna: 13.75
Tim Burke: 13.75
Midge: 9.5
Kat: 11
Balrog: 8.22
Last Empress: 4.73
The rest of us: 0

The Rules

- Every week we will be posting the betting odds based off of BetUs.com fight lines.

- Each user will get 10 Units to play for the week to play on any fights in any event.

- Only straight bets will be allowed. No Round Robins or Parlays (for my mathematical sanity)

- At the end of each week, the winner's picks and total units won will be posted!

- Although side wagers (i.e. signature bets, or who has to make the Lethal Lemonades for UFC 130) are not necessary, they are always encouraged.

Betting Explanation

For those of you who aren't degenerate gamblers like myself, don't be turned off by these crazy +/- numbers. It is all actually quite simple. There are only three simplified rules you need to know to start playing

- A "+" means you win more money than you bet, and a "-" means you win less money than you bet (aka the "+" is the underdog, and the "-" is the favorite).

- After the +/- you will see a number. A "+" number indicates how much you win if you bet 100 units (betting 100 units on a "+200" line will win you 200 units. Betting 1 unit on a "+200" line will win your 2 units. Betting 3.4 units on a "+200" line will win you 6.8 units).

- A "-" number indicates how much you need to bet in order to win 100 units (a "-200" line means you need to bet 200 units to win 100. A "-340" line means you need to bet 340 units to win 100.)
