UFC 121 Betting Results

[ctm0808]

Just to make sure everyone understands where I'm at, I use a 10,000 unit bankroll. So these O-3, 1-3, and 0-5 results i've posted here have really had no impact whatsoever. Yeah.. that's it...

ARRRGHgGGgGGRRGHHH THIS PLACE IS CURSED. You guys owe me some money.

If the problem is me being up 40 units...just put a disclaimer next to my name showing that I have somewhere between a 350 and 450 unit bankroll. I must wonder if I was down 40 units if this would be a problem. And i very well could have been down 40 units. but i would not excuse it by having a 400 unit pot. The fact of the matter would be i was still down 40 units, and not doing to hot.

Since i pretty much know how everyone bets in here, i will personally just use it as a gauge of who i think is hot at the moment.

^^^ I don't think you're any sort of problem at all . . . I think the problem is that everyone is doing their own thing and posting unit totals (for anyone) doesn't mean shit.

I mean, if I said I won 40 units then that means I had about a 100% increase in my bankroll. For someone like yourself, it means something totally different. I'm sure you see why Scientist would be concerned about a situation like this.

[Mr. IWS]

Why dont we just do it like we do the money contest then. Everyone gets 1000 unit bankroll to start and we go from there.

[MMA_scientist]

The only issue with doing it like the contest is that it complicates things for everyone, and also has the drawback of actually making it seem like a competition, which it is not (at least to me).

I think we can resolve the issue by just putting in parentheses after the name how t hat person defines a unit: mma_scientist (1u= 2%)
svino (1u = 1%)
sbjj (1u = .25%)
luke (1u = $100)

sbjj, I would have the same concern if you were down 40u. The issue is not how much you are up or down, for all you know someone else could be up a lot more actual money than you... it is not about dollars won and lost. It is about your 1u being 1/400th of your bankroll. So if you make a 40u bet, that it is not that big of a deal (again not in terms of dollars, but actual hit to your bankroll). But for many of us, 40u means betting 40% or 80% of our entire bankroll.

[Luke]

Yeah I dont care what we do . Heck I dont think most of us should since we arent winning lately .

I have a 75 unit bankroll so 100 dollars is like 1.3 % of my bankroll which is still a smaller bet than most people here make vs the size of the bankroll

I havent read much of this thread but why doesnt everyone just put bets in like this

Lesnar -130 5%

Like I said I dont care because honestly I dont pay much attention to the thread since I track my own bets anyway and I'm not winning lately

[Mr. IWS]

That works for me.

[MMA_scientist]

Luke, I track my bets as well... but I like to see how everyone else is doing. Most of us are losing atm, but it has only been a minute, just bad timing. Had he started it after UFC 120, most of us would be up considerably. It will balance out over time. I guarantee you that most of us will be well into + territory in 6 months. Anyway, I like to see how everyone else is doing, so when they mention a possible bet, I know if I should pay attention or not.

Just leave it like it is, sorry I brought it up.

[Luke]

Just leave it like it is, sorry I brought it up.

I wasnt criticizing the thread maybe you took me wrong I was just saying the thread means less to me pesonally because I'm not winning lately . We can do whatever you want and I'll participate

this :

mma_scientist (1u= 2%)
svino (1u = 1%)
sbjj (1u = .25%)
luke (1u = $100)

is basically what I just said in my post you would just have to chance mine to (1u =1.3%)

I think this way would work best

[Mr. IWS]

Ill just add the percentages/unit amounts, like Scientist said, and we can continue going the way we were. I think it was a good idea. I'm just glad I thought of it first.

[Mr. IWS]

You didnt post a line for the brock fight, so I never counted it.

[SPX]

Ah. . . So THAT'S the trick. . .

[Mr. IWS]

If he won, i wouldnt have counted it either. It's happend a couple other times with other guys too.

[YoungTRK484]

Lesnar 2 units to win 1, (getting fucked in the ass for being late to the party on this one, this line sucks)

From the bets thread.

[Mr. IWS]

^^I saw that, but no line for Lesnar himself.

[YoungTRK484]

^^^ Gotcha, it was -200, but I'll make it more clear next time. My bad!
