^ 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).

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?

. . .and everyone will be betting the whole bankroll to catch me. . .

You arrogant son of a bitch.

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.

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.

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

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:

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)

[poopoo333]

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.

My idea is to start with a notional $1000 dollars. Not a hypothetical $100. Then we can bet on any fight, but never more than 20%.

[zY|]

I'm not fucking reading all this shit.

Somebody just tell me what to do.

[Luke]

Its only 3 pages lol.

We are still deciding what we want the rules to be and how we want to set up the contest.We got 6 people at the moment ,$10 buy in trying to get 10 people.

We're either going to just pick the winner of every fight for 5-6 events and the winner is the person with the most wins or we'll take a fake bankroll of 100 bucks and bet as many or as few fights as we want for 5-6 events and you're not allowed to put down more than 20% of your roll on any one fighter

what do you want to do? any ideas or anything to add?

I'm fine with SPX idea, either that or create an IWS Fantasy League (for cash) where you get points for picking winners and how the fight ends.

that would be me f-ing things up lol.i'll try again

[zY|]

I like the just picking fights idea personally, but I'm ok with whatever. Count me in for $10.

[SPX]

Bear in mind that my idea is more of a side project, not really an alternative to Luke's.
