The MMATorch reader or staff member who is able to make the most theoretical money from their PRIDE 33 Playing with Money wagers will be declared the new number one contender for the MMATorch Betting Championship, and go head-to-head at UFC 68 with the our newly crowned champion.

Saturday night at PRIDE 33, our first MMATorch Betting Champion will be determined between yours truly, MMATorch writer Randy Rowles, and MMATorch reader Jonathon Maness. This championship match will be detailed later this week, along with our MMATorch Prediction Championship match. 

Here's your chance to get yourself into the next championship match and make it a short title reign for either Maness or me.  I'm sure I've got Maness's consent when I say -- Bring It On.

How to Read a Line - The fighter with the greater negative number is the odds-makers' favorite to win the match. All numbers are based on a $100 increment. A negative number means you would have to wager the amount of the negative number (in positive dollars) to net a $100 profit. A positive number means you could wager $100 to profit the amount of the positive number
