MMATycoon Posted August 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 for stuff that's over about +300 you wanna do about 1 unit or so. 11 units means you are absolutely certain it's going to happen. 5 units for most people is a massive bet.

clydebankblitz Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Saw BetMMA being promoted on MMAForum, my "home MMA site" so I threw down an endorsement for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bwang Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 BetMMA.tips - very good website. I especially like the How to be a Handicapper page. I just wish you made one for premier league football or cricket or something I knew more about! To clarify about units - you say 11 is absolutely certain, 5 is massive for most people, and you can place as little as 0.1 units. Does that means it's not a confidence-to-units proportional relationship but some sort of exponential curve type relationship? ie not like the one on the left but the one on the right? http://i61.tinypic.com/m0z5y.jpg How many units would express 60% confidence, or 70%?

MMATycoon Posted August 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 It's not as scientific as that, it's just a rough guide. Some people will bet value (i.e. bet things they think probably won't happen but the odds are wrong), whereas others (like myself), will only handicap stuff they're pretty certain will come off, hence me having a really high ROI compared to a lot of people. But yeah, you find your own way of doing things - just don't put 11 units for everything and hope for the best cos that means you're not doing it properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBennet Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Is there a 'handicapping for dummies' or something like that you could link in the BetMMA? Nevermind, just noticed that the things I found ambiguous were explained in op of this thread, I feel stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJbullet Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Mike. I think a lot of people don't bet WOC cause they don't understand and lets be honest, MMA isn't what it use to be. Who really knows who is going to win or lose anymore unless their name is Ronda Rousey lol. It's a coin flip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMATycoon Posted August 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 I'm sure that's right to an extent but we've had events where well over a thousand take part in the past, so there are more people willing to take part than do for a lot of events. MBennet, there's a guide to handicapping here; http://www.betmma.tips/mma_handicapper_intro.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtieBanks Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 I'm sure that's right to an extent but we've had events where well over a thousand take part in the past, so there are more people willing to take part than do for a lot of events. MBennet, there's a guide to handicapping here; http://www.betmma.tips/mma_handicapper_intro.php Most peoples interest in it has evaporated, when it first came out people done it for fun to see how their picks came in then it became more and more serious and that is when my interest in it diminished. I'd much rather throw a few quid at bets on Bet365 and just watch the fights. The average for the past few months is 500 picks, and it appears to be dropping. It hasn't got anything to do with you taking time away from working on the game that has stopped me doing it. I just lost interest in it and it doesn't affect how i play this game in any way, shape or form; so i just don't do it. I think a lot of people might fall into the same category as myself in the fact we have no interest in fight pick ems. We play this game because we enjoy the game, hell some people don't even watch MMA and enjoy the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMATycoon Posted September 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 For people who that applies to, I'd ask them to take part just to help me out. The better the predictions, the better the WOC does and the more publicity Bet MMA / MMA Tycoon will get from it, so ultimately it helps us all out when more people take part. I've also just added an article to Bloody Elbow (adapted from something I'd already written on bet mma), if people can like it / comment on it that would be great Guide to betting on MMA 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Ok, i tried this thing for the first time. Hope my picks aren't too bad. Also i have no knowledge of what all the numbers mean lol, so i just chose the numbers next to the fighters name. That's how it's done right?

The only one i chose for tonight's event is Paige at 1.08, think i know what it means :s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBennet Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 I think he means custom odds. And yeah I've good a question about them too. Do they have to be vialbe odds proposed by a bookmaker entity or are they more of an adjustment if you think current odds don't reflect the real odds, what it should be.

kenlow73 Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Why is BetMMA open til the time of the fight but WOC closed long before the fight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMATycoon Posted September 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 You mean the unit handicapping being open till the time of the first fight? The WOC can shut whenever we like, so I chose 7 hours before to give people enough time to see the results and make a bet. The handicapper stuff I want to allow people to make last minute picks or get their picks in if they've forgotten. It's a logging service for other handicappers as much as a tip selling site, so I don't wanna lock anyone out who makes late picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMATycoon Posted September 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 I'm happy enough with the number of people involved now to be honest. I don't want it to get to an overwhelming number of people for customers to get lost in - the people that push on and do a good job now will be the most motivated.

markyosullivan Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 Does anyone else find Poirier as a massive underdog against Duffy to be absolute insanity? A massive underdog would be strange but he's fighting against an Irish fighter in Dublin, I don't think the UFC would have given Duffy a fight in Ireland where he was more likely to lose than win.

Brezt Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 Does anyone else find Poirier as a massive underdog against Duffy to be absolute insanity? Yes actually he has to be 4:1 underdog for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
