Guest Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 You've finally convinced me to vote on less fights. I can usually hold up a 60-65 percentage voting for the entire cards (and even non-UFC cards) but I realize that this is a different thing than the usual "pick ems" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 if i only bet on two fights can i still win something?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMATycoon Posted October 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Absolutely. It's better if you only make picks of a few fights here and there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLP Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 Does anyone know if the UFC's new drug testing policies get used in Brazil? Or is it still anything goes down there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlakePhoenix Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 Does anyone know if the UFC's new drug testing policies get used in Brazil? Or is it still anything goes down there? I HOPE it's the same drug policies, for fairness and consistency, but based on the fact that Anderson Silva has asked UFC to match him up against Nick Diaz in a fight in Brazil, it looks like Silva at least believes anything goes.

Guest Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 They do. The differences come because of the quality/skill of the labs used to carry out the tests. Â God knows which version of Belfort is going to show up though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 WADA/USADA (Cant remember which) should be doing tests on these guys year round now with the new system, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMATycoon Posted October 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 The no IV thing is also a massive curve ball in terms of predicting fights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambo Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 I don't understand WOC not accepting fight picks... I only pick fights that I "know" what the result will be, so I always select 100% wins, and 100% confidence. Â Â http://mmatycoon.com/woc_event.php?Event=54 Â Â I selected Edgar, Tony, Evan, Crusher, and Gonzaga. Â Â But when I check the results, it says only Y (your pick) was Evan vs Lauzon... Â Â I officially declare nonsense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 The algorithm doesn't count 100%/100% picks because they're deemed to be 'frivalous' and are usually the work of trolls. If you're really that sure, pick 95%/95% and then they will be counted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I wouldn't pick or bet on a fight if I didn't think or "know" one dude was gonna beat up the other lol. 100/100 works on a lot of fights though, why do some of them accept 100/100 picks and some of them not?

MMATycoon Posted December 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Nobody KNOWS the result of a fight. To say that is nonsense. You were 100% percent certain that if Gonzaga fought Erokhin 100 times, that Gonzaga would win all 100 fights? Or that Ferguson beats Barbosa 100 out of 100 fights? You put 100% confidence and prediction on Jim Miller vs Michael Chiesa and Chris Weidman over Luke Rockhold. You've been 100% certain and 100% wrong on 39% of your picks, so that's no use to the system at all. You had to be more sure about some of those fights than others and if not, like I say, that's no use to the system at all because you're meant to effectively be setting your own betting line. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â They're not ever going to fight 100 times so that seems silly to me. They were fighting that one time, and I knew Gonzaga would get a win, and he did. Am I always right? No. But if I wasn't 100% confident a fighter would win, I wouldn't bet on him. I pick fighters on WoC at the rate that I bet on fights irl. I still don't think it should reject any of my picks. Â that 39% would probably be more like 30% if it didn't secretly reject my picks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the point. Being overly confident is a terrible trait for the system or for betting in general. I don't believe for one second you had exactly the same level of confidence in everyone one of your picks. If you do, you aren't breaking down the fights at all because there are many possibilities within any matchup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chance of it happening is less than 1%, but it's not 0% like you're implying.  You were 100% that flat footed, slow paced Chris Weidman would beat a dynamic Southpaw body/leg kicker like Rockhold? How'd that work out for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 A 0.5 unit bet on Overeem put me in the green and saved my picks card. But yeah, still got destroyed on the WOC side of things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMATycoon Posted December 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 WOC overall made its first profit in 5 or 6 events; massive profit too, due to a big bet on Marquardt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
