Next IWS Contest

[Ludo]

I know the current capping contest isn't over with yet, but with the crazy two months we have coming in MMA I figured if we wanted to get another one going we had to start hashing out specifics now. Let's hear first of all who's interested followed by suggestions on buy in, in game bets yay or nay, bet limits(if we intend to change that at all), and how many events/which ones we want to do.

I looked at the upcoming schedule and here is what it looks like after UFN25:

9/23/2011 Strikeforce - Challengers 19
9/24/2011 UFC 135 - Jones vs. Rampage
9/24/2011 BFC - Bellator Fighting Championships 51
10/1/2011 UFC Live 6 - Cruz vs. Johnson
10/1/2011 BFC - Bellator Fighting Championships 52
10/8/2011 UFC 136 - Edgar vs. Maynard 3
10/8/2011 BFC - Bellator Fighting Championships 53
10/15/2011 BFC - Bellator Fighting Championships 54
10/29/2011 UFC 137 - St. Pierre vs. Condit
11/5/2011 UFC 138 - Leben vs. Munoz
11/12/2011 UFC - UFC on Fox 1


The only problem I'm seeing here is that Bellator has several events on the same night as the UFC here. I'm not sure what everyone wants to do in that situation be it do both events or just pick one to do instead of the other. I 'spose since I've been nominated I'll be taking care of the thread making/line posting/standings updates.

We need about 5 extra events for when the forum goes down.

[poopoo333]

Can't we do both Bellator and UFC on the same night? If that's a problem I vote UFC only the nights they fall together.

Starting by 9/23 works for me.

How much buy in fee?

Let's keep bet limits the same.

In game bets to keep me from being an action junkie degenerate during the fights.

I was thinking about that and the only problem I can see is bankroll management on those nights. It will be a pain in the ass if someone over bets his remaining roll without realizing it, especially if one of those bets wins.

[Luke]

Anyone want to bump the buy in to 20 ....or no?

[Luke]

Yes please

[SPX]

It was $20 for this last one. . .

[Luke]

It was $20 for this last one. . .

I did not know that

[MMA_scientist]

I vote no in-game bets. But whatever you guys want to do, I am down.

Maybe we should just let it be a free-for-all... no limits on the bets and allow in game betting. Some guys will get way up and we will probably lose a couple guys within a few events. Could be fun, just a thought.

[SPX]

That's funny, I was thinking we should drop the limits even more.

[MMA_scientist]

I guess it depends what we want the contest to be. If we want it to be a shoot-out, no limit and allow in-game bets. If we want it to be more of a true capping contest, lower the limits and don't allow in-game bets. I personally don't care either way. I prefer no in-game bets, just because I am not usually on during the fights. But it really did not affect me too much in the first contest, so I am fine with it.

I think we should wait until we can get at least 10 people in on it though. It was more fun with more people.

FUCK YEAH

[Thewisemann]

I agree with Scientist, no in game bets, but if we do, no limit.

[SPX]

I'll vote for in game bets. If that means no limit, then I guess I'll have to accept that.

I'd rather there be a 10% cap, though. 15% still allowed for too much of the luck factor.

[Luke]

no in game betting is fine

[Ludo]

Come on, guys. We need to hammer this shit out in the next day or two if ya'll want to have another contest starting with 135. I need votes on what we do about the nights Bellator has an event while the UFC has one as well, in game betting, betting limits per fight, buy in, and most importantly who is participating.

[Thewisemann]

I'm in. I vote no in game betting. I think we should have a set betting limit, like 15, that doesn't change with your bankroll.

[MMA_scientist]

I am in. I don't care what the rules are. On the night of a bellator + UFC, I think it should only be the UFC lines.

[Mr. IWS]

[poopoo333]

Does paypal take credit cards?

[Mr. IWS]

Not 100% sure, but I would think so.

[SPX]

I'm in, but I have to send my money in a little late. My account is dollars away from being overdrawn. Should get a check in the next few days, though.

[poopoo333]

WELL FUCKING FUCKERS LET'S SET IT UP

[MMA_scientist]

lol at the alligator Av.


I think Ludo's reward for organizing all this is that he gets to pick the rules. Just tell us what the rules are. I do think we should wait a week though to see if we can get a few more players

[SPX]

I don't even know who's in or out.

[poopoo333]

In

[SPX]

In

[Ludo]

Well I'm only organizing, ya'll need to at least have a say in the rules even if what you happen to vote for isn't what gets majority vote. if ya'll want to wait a week for more people thats cool with Me. But we should get everything situated so everyone can get the money in to Zak and we can get started.

If it started next week with UFC on Versus 6 who all is in? So far I have Scientist, Zak, X, Jordan, Luke, Wiseman, and Myself. I didn't get confirmation but I'm assuming if you posted on the thread about what you would like your interested in playing.

Right now it's 3 to 3 on in game betting. However those who have voted for in game bets have said they would like no limits on in game bets. In the interest of keeping this more of a real capping contest I would prefer not to have any "no limit" scenario's just because that has a sort of "dollar menu" feel to it. Plus I don't like the idea of guys dropping off the contest after two events like Triathelete and Mike did the first time around. This is essentially "practice" but it's also supposed to be fun.

I liked the 15% bet limit but I would actually like to see what happens if we just had a flat 15 no matter what your bankroll is in the game.

[MMA_scientist]

I never bet more than 15 last time anyway. Those rules are fine with me Ludo.

[SPX]

I also say the no-limit thing sucks. I at least want to THINK I have a shot at winning until the end.

[poopoo333]

I don't care about the rules, you make them, I will follow.

[Mr. IWS]

I don't care about the rules, you make them, I will follow.

yup yup. Im whatevs

[High5]

I'm going to pass this round.....It's hunting season and I'm still biking alot.
I'll be up for next round though.

[Luke]

I say in game betting and keep the limits the same......no ,no limit stuff

[MMA_scientist]

Is this happening or what?

[SPX]

I was wondering what was up last weekend. . .

[MMA_scientist]

I have no idea why, but that gif has me rolling.

[MMA_scientist]

I mean rawling.

[Luke]

Dont make fun of MJ

[Thewisemann]

I vote no in game bets and 15 max bet regardless of bankroll

[Ludo]

Alright, it looks like nobody else will be joining us. So whoever is in send your $20 to Zak. Consensus vote has it no in game betting with a max bet of $15 regardless of how big your bankroll is. As usual I'll use Pinnacle's lines, or Bookmaker if Pinnacle doesn't have lines out by the time I do them. I'll usually do the threads for each event on the thursday just before it to give the lines a chance to settle.

Our schedule is as follows:

10/1/2011 UFC Live 6 - Cruz vs. Johnson
10/8/2011 UFC 136 - Edgar vs. Maynard 3
10/15/2011 BFC - Bellator Fighting Championships 54
10/22/2011 - BFC - Bellator Fighting Championships 55
10/29/2011 UFC 137 - St. Pierre vs. Condit
11/5/2011 UFC 138 - Leben vs. Munoz
11/12/2011 UFC - UFC on Fox 1
11/18/2011 - Strikeforce - Challengers 20
11/19/2011 UFC 139 - Shogun vs. Hendo


Get your money in to Zak, I'll be putting the lines up tomorrow. Since this is all kind of last minute we can float anyone who doesn't get money in by saturday until next wednesday. If your money isn't in by then your picks won't be counted and you will be removed from the contest.

[SPX]

I'll hook Zak up with the funds as soon as a check comes in. If y'all remove me on Wednesday I'm gonna be pissed.

[Ludo]

Well thats why I put the cut off almost a week from now.

[SPX]

Okay, let me phrase it another way:

If I'm removed from the contest then I'm going to visit the biblical plagues upon some motherfuckers.

. . .

No, seriously, okay, one week. Thanks for that. If I don't have any money in a week though, I really won't go without a fight.

[poopoo333]

You niggas are all gonna be eliminated.

[poopoo333]

Zak what's your email again? Zakfaggot69@yahoo.com ??
