UFC 191: PICKS THREAD SCORED

[Luke]

I think it would be nice if each of us picked the winner of each fight for a card. Zak said he'd track the results of it . All you need to do is pick the winner of the fight. If you pick the favorite, its always to win 1 point. If you pick the dog, its betting 1 unit. If this works out, we might put a contest together soon. If your pick loses, its just counted as a zero

Example

Max Holloway -240/ Charles Oliveira +200

If you pick Holloway and he wins, you get 1 point. If you pick Oliveria, you get 2.

Also, put "Best Bet" beside one of the fights you pick. This fight will count for double. New rule: Best Bet play must be -300 odds or lower.

Please copy and paste the following odds and either star or bold the fighter you are picking.

Demetrious Johnson -500	vs.	John Dodson +400
Andrei Arlovski -155	vs.	Frank Mir +135
Anthony Johnson -550	vs.	Jimi Manuwa +425
Jan Błachowicz -150	vs.	Corey Anderson +130
Paige VanZant -1300	vs.	Alex Chambers +800
Ross Pearson +325	vs.	Paul Felder -400
Francisco Rivera -105	vs.	John Lineker -115
Jessica Andrade -210	vs.	Raquel Pennington +175
Clay Collard -135	vs.	Tiago Trator +115
Joe Riggs +140	vs.	Ron Stallings -160
Joaquim Silva +110	vs.	Nazareno Malegarie -130

When you say "-300 or lower" do you mean a steeper favorite(as in -350), or do you mean closer to -250?

Closer to -250. So that it's not such an easy play to hit.

Aight. Sounds about right.

Hey guys, I'm new to the board, thought I would throw in my 2 cents on this event.

MM wins but I'm hoping Dodson doesn't something ridiculous. He is rather athletic. Arlovski kills Mir but then again who can accurately pick a Mir fight. Just when I think he's done he gets a couple more wins. Rumble via death train. Felder crushes Pearson with shear aggression. Rivera/Lineker is a tough fight to call, leaning Rivera. And what is the deal with Joe Diesel, he looks like the walking dead these days.

Hey, welcome to the forum, man. Feel free to enter your picks even though ou missed the first week. This is just a trial run for a bigger contest

Hey man, welcome! Glad you made it.

I agree with most of what you said. You're probably right about MM but I'm really hoping Dodson finds a way to win here. MM is a GREAT fucking fighter but I have to agree with all those people who say he's just doesn't have the charisma to make a great champ. Funny thing is, 75% of the FLW division is probably more compelling than he is from a personality standpoint, but MM is the one who's looking unstoppable.

BTW, these posts should probably be moved to the discussion thread, which I'm not surprised you missed since it was on the second page for some reason.
