Here are mine:

Units overall: +18.36

Units/UFC: +12.35
Units/WEC: +2.05
Units/Strikeforce: +3.96

Favorites: 17-3, +18.86u
Underdogs: 1-2, -0.5u

Not as bad as I thought I was doing. I had 3 events in a row where things did not go too well (109 was the worst ever).

Re: Official Year-to-Date Results Thread

Units overall: -6.95

Units/UFC: -6.95

Favorites: 3-3 -6.95

UFC 109 losing 7.95 units on Rolles and Nate put me in a huge hole to start the year.

I lost 11u on 109. You just need to bet more fights.

I done been telling him this!

The problem with always trying to only bet on "safe" fights, or locks, is that once you do lose one or two you're way deep in the hole.

I was actually pretty surprised to learn that I've bet 45 individual fights this year. I had no idea it was that many.

I'm sure you'll get it back.

My biggest concern is not that you won't be profitable . . . but that you're minimizing your profitability by limiting the bets you make. But we have fundamentally different philosophies when it comes to betting. I see every fight as an opportunity to make money and take a more scattershot approach to things.

Of course, if you're cool with the way you do things then that's fine. It's not like you want to make a living out of it.

Re: Official Year-to-Date Results Thread

I bet more fights than Zak, but still only like to bet on fights where I feel there are so few variables that you can nail down a winner with pretty good accuracy.

I think I have bet on 23 fights in 2010. I won 36.86 units on 18 wins... then lost 18.5 on 5 losses. If it hadn't been for 109, I would be killing it. Of course, I barely won on 110, and broke even on UFC 1 on Versus. I had a horrible dry spell.

Im with ya on that. But lately, with the lines being what they are, I really dont feel too comfortable laying big numbers like I did Saturday. I never layed anything over like -400/-450 before, but Im kind of getting desperate for some winners.

I think this is a big reason that I bet more fights. I really don't even like to bet more than 2 units on a single fight, much less 4 or more.

Almost all of my bets are 3 units or less, and typically less. I like to be able to survive a loss and not have to go on suicide watch.

Re: Official Year-to-Date Results Thread

I dont care if I bet 10 or 100 fights in a year I bet what I like .Last year I only bet 18 fights but won 14 of them and profited over 1000 dollars .Thats plenty enough for me. If I can make 10 units a year I'll be more than happy

I'm more like Scientist in that I want to build this up into something that I can live off of, or at least rely on as a SIGNIFICANT side income (at least $10K a year).

The dream is to make $50K a year or more. The biggest problem is the relative infrequency of events. I mean, basketball fans have it good during the season. There are games every fucking night! But for MMA you're lucky if there are 4 or 5 events in a month.
