We should make picks in all the fights like all the mma news sites do. With everyone picking the huge favorites everytime is kinda repetitive.


Just my opinion

I'm not against having to pick all the fights, but we would have to change how we do bonus points, if we do them at all. I would suggest 2 points for a correct fight winner, then you pick the method of win, either decision, tko, or sub, for an extra 1 point, for a total of 3 points per fight. I'd to like to hear from the rest of the people who regularly play too, though.

its a lot better than the current format. a lot of times i just pick decision and guess what the scorecards will be. too many variables trying to pick the round, method and finish type

I was thinking its hard for ppl to,get their picks in Cuz especially when its that tedious...I play every week and almost fk up everytime..I like just going through. looking at a list and saying who i think wins..I think bettiing sites started adding ask the bonus type of finish shit to milk money and to keep guys like ourselves who can on a consistent basis pick 4 out of 4 every card regardless off the odds...

Lol, on the whole who won our 3rd league...
I always go for the favorites in most cases. A fight like Faber/Rivera was one of the more recent ones I remember where I was pretty sure Faber wouldn't win. I also like to keep notes on fighters as I watch the events because a lot of times just looking at past fight results it doesn't tell the whole picture. Randy Brown looked like shit imo but he managed to snatch a choke so 6 months from now I would have picked him if he's the favorite unless I had some good notes.

I usually spend 20-30 minutes researching picks mainly checking their records and the way they finish fights. If I had the time to watch tape before making my picks I would probably start betting good money on them. Some of it is luck too especially the decisions. A weird judges score each week can make or break you when it comes down to the final tally and that's why I like picking the winner and way they won.

I have a similar method but mines just of memory..Like you I picked Riviera...Picking fights honestly could be a career if somebody invested in. guy like you or myself lol Having gambling sponsors would be dope ..whatever I win I split with them..no risk for me and possible good gain for them

I like the idea of picking all the fights. It gives more chances to make up big ground in the standing. And allows you to pick upsets. The current format is hard to pick upsets because with only four fights you pretty much have to get all 4 fights right to remain competitive.

I think that picking the favourites is easy, the rounds and method then come in to change that..mma is crazy though so the likelihood of getting it right is low..boils down to "ud 29-28x3" or x2 with one judge as usual fucking sucking.
I would like some reward for picking underdogs, especially heavy underdogs, but it's hard to implement a bonus system like that..
Maybe pick all fights and over a certain amount of correct fight winners(5or something) you get some extra points for every other pick you got right.

I also like the "pick every fight, 3 points per fight" idea. Allows for more ground to be made up after a shitty performance and the selection format is a lot simpler

Unless there is a barrage of deft criticism between now and later, I'll write up the new rules and make the thread for Season 5 tonight.

I think we should do straight picks
Let's say 5 fighters for 1 event
1 point for each correct pick
3 correct picks equals 1 extra point
5 correct picks equals 3 extra points

If i'm too off base, please give other suggestions

Isn't getting more right the reward in and of itself? I also like the idea of having to think about things a little more to decide the most likely outcome, rather than just the winner.
