MMA contest

Re: MMA contest

I am down with whatever.

I will kick in $5 for SPX's thing.
I will kick in $10 for Luke's thing (though I am still confused about the rules).


I think you should just make a spreadsheet with everyone's name on it. Then list all the fights in June and July. When the grouping is over, whoever picked the most correct wins. No odds, no bankroll. You pick every fight.

I'm in for both too but dont you think you should get more points for picking a dog or a -110 favorite over a -600 favorite?

I honestly dont care just everyone decide,get 10 people in here and lets do this

Re: MMA contest

I like Lukes idea. you put up 10 bucks, or what ever, basically to buy in.

You get like a 20 unit bank roll. you can wager on any fight in the month 1-3 units per wager.

Whoever has the most units at the end of the month wins.

See I like that better because picking a -600 favorite is alot easier than picking a -105 favorite so why should both be worth 1 point?

I also say you have to bet 1-3 units on EVERY fight that we list for the month

Re: MMA contest

It looks like it's 2 against 2 so far, maybe a poll on what to do?

Re: MMA contest

^ I was just trying to make it simple. Make it a hypothetical bankroll then. Just leave out all the units for simplicity. Make it a flat amount. Everyone starts with a hypothetical $100. Bet whatever you want as often as you want, but no more than 20% of your bankroll (otherwise it will be like final jeopardy at the end- and everyone will be betting the whole bankroll to catch me, and I will also have to bet like 60% to stay ahead of you all).

Lol I like an even simpler version: No bankrolls or anything. Just pick the fights.

fine with me

100 dollar starting bankroll ,cant bet more than 20% on any one fighter.

How about the fights ? Are we going to be everyone of them on the card?

I think you should be able to bet as many or as few as you want.

Betting more fights is not necessarily an advantage.

We can always try it out and adjust it next time. also, I am just throwing out ideas... its your thing, you're the mod, do whatever you want.

Re: MMA contest

Im in for whatever. I do a UFC fantasy for 50 bucks. I had 8 this season. Im in 3rd, 6 pts behind 2nd and 60 +_ behind 1st. Looks like I should get 2nd, and whether or not I get 1st will come down to Franklin/Liddell, I have Franklin UD.

The only problem I have with that someone can just pick all -600 favs that dont lose that often

Assume everyone is going to pick the big favorites... so that would all be a wash anyway. The difference is going to be made on the closer fights. If there are 12 -600 fights, we are all going to be 12-0 (or 10-2 as the line suggests).

I want everyones input on this because I want everyone to like the rules of it. The more people that agree that more we will get.

I just want 10 people in it is all I really want

So far:

1.Me
2.Zak
3.Wiseman
3.MMAscientist
4.Poopoo
5.SPX

So we need 5 more .Like I said thats the only thing I'm set on ,as long as everyone else agrees idk what the rules are(bankroll,nobankroll,bet all fighters,bet as many as you want)

Re: MMA contest

Honestly I really don't care what we do, as long as it isn't complicated as shit. Should we start with SPX's idea for UFC 115? I vote yes because I will win, and if you guys say no it is because you guys are vaginas.
