YTD results

[MMA_scientist]

Not included is my shame dump on lil Nog (which actually netted me 7u)... but it was so reckless and out of character, that I cannot claim it in good conscience. I know that there are few other plays that I am forgetting too.

Total WINS = +98.98
Parlay project +5.29
Total Losses = -70.4

Overall net gain = 33.87u

Dogs: 6-9 +8.66
Faves: 55-13 +27.06

Bellator: -2.44 ( I have been killing these Bellators but I took 2 bad losses, Hess and Curran)
SF: +11.88

I use a 50u bankroll, so without compounding, a 71% return. But it is actually a lot more than that, because with win, the unit size increases... but I have not kept track concisely.

That hornbuckle blackburn fight was close.

[Mr. IWS]

Your a beast my brotha!

I fuckin blow this year. I bow at your feet.

Seriously, nice job man. Your a big help around here.

[MMA_scientist]

That hornbuckle blackburn fight was close.

Yeah, it was a bad play. I would like to look at all the "wrong" plays I made and see how I would have done if they wen't teh other way (I am pretty sure I would have lost overall)/

[MMA_scientist]

Just noticed this is not YTD either, it actually has 12/2009 in there too.

[Mr. IWS]

How many years you been betting MMA?

[MMA_scientist]

How many years you been betting MMA?

about 3 years

[Mr. IWS]

Is this the norm for you in terms of winning? Im ready to hop on board. LOL

[SPX]

Good job, Scientist. Interesting stuff there.

You're clearly kicking my ass on Strikeforce. I'm like -7u on that shit.

This is about the norm. My first year, I was really aggressive and wild, kind of like Poopoo. As luck would have it, it worked out and I had like a 200% return. But since then, it is about 2u-3u per month on average. I had a dry spell for like 3 months this year from February to June... which is when I shamefully did the Nog dump. I also had to cash out half my bankroll and use the money in that same time period for life stuff... so I got frustrated with the delay of my dream of doing nothing but watching fights and training, and that contributed to the shame dump.

Yeah I didn't realize I was doing so well on SF... I think it is because SF goes after these bjj guys... They have Galvao, Roger Gracie, Jacare, Werdum... I rode 2 big bets on Galvao (both of which were really close and I was on the wrong side on both). But really the number is inflated because of the Werdum win.

I thought Bellator was my money train, but those 2 5u losses before I instituted my lower line cap killed me.

and you better say something, I did this for you (though all i had to do was cut and paste it).

[MMA_scientist]

Just looking at the wins, I can see at least 6 fights where I was clearly on the wrong side and just lucked out:

Nog/Brilz
Galvao/Stewart (6.58u swing)
Galvao/Patino (3.8u swing)
Paixao/Caraway (3.8u swing)
Howard/Hallman (7u swing)
A. Simpson/Lawlor (7u swing)

add these up (excluding Nog) and I would be down for the year. Of course, I got "unlucky" on a lot of my losses too... both with guys that lost even though they had value, and guys that fluked out. But it is easy to see how "negative variance" can have a big impact over a short period of time.

[Svino]

Woo! Good job!

That hornbuckle blackburn fight was close.

Yeah, it was a bad play. I would like to look at all the "wrong" plays I made and see how I would have done if they wen't teh other way (I am pretty sure I would have lost overall)/

True, but then to be fair to yourself, you've also gotta think about the times you made the "right" call and got burned.

[Edit: oops, looks like you've got that covered. I had the same two bets on Galvao. I think I'm done betting on him for a while.]

[triathlete]

Hello everyone. Sorry for the absence... not that I contributed a whole lot in the first place.

I was even for the year up to June. Haven't bet jack shit lately due to travel and school.

Good to be back, though. Thanks to Sean Patrick Xavier for reminding me I still watch and bet on MMA :)

Welcome back man .We've all wondered where you have been

[zY|]

Didn't you go to Vietnam?

Yeah, 'bout damn time you showed your face around here, mofo!

Like I said earlier, September is fucking FULL of MMA. Hopefully you'll act like sensible heterosexual male and will show up for some of it.

This is now the "Welcome Back Triathlete" thread. Scientist, you will need to go make another.

[MMA_scientist]

I don't need another thread, homes. Like I said, I made it for you... I am done with it, you can even change the title.

Well I was just joking anyway . . . homes.
