Re: MMA contest Strikeforce Houston thread

We should always have 10-15 minutes in between fights so we shouldnt have to hurry most of the time. We ran the whole contest and it was never an issue .But as long as someone wants to post the start time of each fight everything would be fine .
I think once fighters are in cage no more bets should be allowed.

I think the format for the last contest was fine to be honest.

Okay, so once the second fighter steps into the cage then the sportsbook is closed.

I agree once the fighters are in the cage no further bets on that fight should be allowed. I know I won't remember to post the start time of each fight so we'll all just have to all be vigilant.

I like the $10 entry fee. That keeps it more fun, but whatever you guys want is cool with me.

I know Scientist wanted to tweek a couple things, so lets get some feedback from him as well.

That's fine with me, too. I could actually go either way.

One thing I'd be mildly concerned about is if the entrance fee goes too high then people who haven't won in two or three events will just stop playing. $10 isn't much to lose, though, so people won't care as much.

I agree with that too.

I will play again however you guys want. It is just for fun.

I wanted to tweak a few things to fit my more stable style so I could win. I don't think I ever went negative in this competition, I might have been down like 2 bucks. But I never really threatened to win either. I guess if Griggs would not have hit, I would have won though.

Either way, I am just giving shit, I will play again under any rules. I definitely cannot allow SPX to be walking around like king shit.

You cannot deny my true nature.

Vegas was cool. The super secret sports book was not carrying lines on Strikeforce, so I went all over damn town trying to find a line. No one had it.

I played a poker tourney Saturday night at Binions.. there were about 60 entrants, I got 6th and missed cashing by 2 spots (top 4 cashed).

I won a little money playing BJ and craps and a cash poker game.

I also rode a bull and got thrown on my ass. It was probably the top 3 dumbest things I have ever done.

All in all, pretty good time.

Sounds like fun. I know Luke also had a problem finding anything Strikeforce related when he was there last time. Sounds extremely odd to me. Maybe Dana really does run that town. . .

Bro, you mess with the bull, you get the horns.

I didn't get the horns... but I thrown off like a little bitch and almost got stomped too. Then I almost got killed by a bull in the pen.

I will have to post a video of it... it is funny as hell. I was only on the thing for about .3 seconds. I have massive respect for rodea riders now.

I think the fact that there were no lines for SF which is a big promotion, really helped me understand how niche our sport really is. The 2 guys I was with had no clue about SF and they are MMA fans. They had no clue who Jacare and Galvao are... They only knew who Feijo was because he was on the card at the SF event we went to in St. Louis.

No one knows shit about mma. The fact that I can't win every bet is humiliating to me now. The public is so clueless, I should be able to win a lot easier.
