ST Predictions results THREAD (don't post predictions here)

i'm picking people I want to win, not people who i think are going to win.

You have to learn to do both, like I do. Balance. You'll never get 'em all right, but you'll be closer

[LEONARD]

I still have money (+120) in my BetUS account. That's all that matters.

Mine has fluctuated from $5 to $120 over the last few weeks...now hovering around $50...

I was low and Rua made me like 83 bucks.

Rua made daddy some money.

I wanted Chuck to win.. for my own reasons, but I knew who would win and played the smart money.

No fun in that. I can just pick the line and ones I believe would win, if I cared about being the ST "pick 'ems" champion..

Out of all those fights. I placed two bets: Rua and Carwin, both of which won. The only upset was Koscheck's loss. So the lines are rarely wrong. Easy to pick.

You've really done an amazing job with the picks since we started doing this.. You just better be wrong about GSP and Alves, you SOB!!!

[dallaskd]

So what cards are calculating into this? it seems we are only doing UFC. I want my points for Soku pounding Nortje in the head

[dbreiden83080]

Wait, db - I shouldn't have 16 wrong. I had 13 last time and I missed one this time - I should be 26-14.

I think you forgot to make picks on a few fights, maybe you couldn't decide and forgot to go back. If i'm wrong i'll obviously change it but we have been counting those as losses if it happens..

[Evan]

anyones race to be honest....one or two cards can change everything...i think we'll be in a tight race until late December

[desflood]

but we have been counting those as losses if it happens..

Really? Huh. No, didn't forget, just didn't pick. I'd like to lodge a formal complaint It doesn't make much sense to me to count a non-pick as a loss. If everybody else agrees with the policy, though, I'll accept it gracefully.

Well it kind of messes up the average if you don't, doesn't it? I mean we are doing a % at the end so if out of 5 fights someone picks 2 of 5 and gets em right they technically batted a thousand.

[Evan]

we're counting non picks as losses? Aw I didn't know that.

[dbreiden83080]

If you guys want me to change it, i don't care at all. I am just talking about the % is all..

why would anyone not pick anyway, unless they just forgot. This isn't rocket science..

It's still only if they get all of their picks right. I made three picks, but Sherk had a crappy game plan and let me down. My record would of course then be 2-1, about 66%. Not much better than I'm doing now anyway

[djohn14]

Damn...I blew that

[Evan]

anyway we do it is fine with me...I don't think many would care but I thought us having a 100 pick minimum to qualify for the winner took care of non picks.

But to be fair...IMO...I say we wipe out the non picks and start that rules again since if me and Dessy didn't know I am sure the others didn't. Just a thought. Its no big deal to me.

[Evan]

and massive props to dbreiden83080 for keeping up with this.

[desflood]

Oh, definitely. Gotta salute the man doing the job nobody else wants.

So should i, change it or we'll start not counting non-picks next card??

Thanks well, usually A-Train is in here ing at me to update it, if i let it sit for a few days..

[Evan]

Anyone else have any input?

I will vote for whatever the majority wants.
