Congrats to Ludo and mike for very solid performances. Last weeks winner RedHottG2 sadly came back down to Earth a bit, and I came crashing down several levels below that. I may have hit the "inner core".

Results for event 2, UFC 142:

Ludo 2.45
mike 2.36
High5 0.98
SPX 0.87
MMA_scientist -0.21
ctm0808 -0.8
trotterz -0.17
PooPoo -1.24
RedHottG2 -1.47
Svino -2.49

Note: I have counted Silva's fight as a loss for him (as I believe sportsbooks do), since that's how it was scored at the event, taking a whopping 6 points off our boards.

This gives us the total scores for 2 events:

Ludo 2.58
High5 1.95
mike 1.88
SPX 1.88
trotterz 0.34
MMA_scientist 0.04
RedHottG2 -0.04
ctmm0808 -1.03
Poopoo -1.25
Svino -1.77

Damn, Ludo's bringing the heat tonight.

It turns out "bet all the favorites" worked rather well for this event. Would have worked great for the last one, too.
