Re: YTD results

Thanks to Sean Patrick Xavier for reminding me I still watch and bet on MMA :)

LOL

Yeah, 'bout damn time you showed your face around here, mofo!

Like I said earlier, September is fucking FULL of MMA. Hopefully you'll act like sensible heterosexual male and will show up for some of it.

Re: YTD results

This is now the "Welcome Back Triathlete" thread. Scientist, you will need to go make another.

Re: YTD results

I don't need another thread, homes. Like I said, I made it for you... I am done with it, you can even change the title.

Well I was just joking anyway . . . homes.

Is it?

Compared to August it looks like a wasteland.

Re: YTD results

Nvm, I see it picks up in a big way towards the end.

Re: YTD results

Thats pretty impressive MMA. And I do not think it had any thing to do with luck, because as you saidf, there were probably some fights that did not go your way. I think the Simpson-Lawlor fight was not lucky...I actually thought it was a draw, if not a Simpson win.

Would anyone be opposed to me making a differnt thread for each event consisting of just everyones bets...no debate over the fights themselves, just straight bets on the event in question.

Re: YTD results

I'm having a pretty good year. I kind of switched things up starting in May, doing more research placing more bets. It's been working well so far:

Jan-April: 29 MMA bets \ wagering 72.9 U \ +16.4 U for the period.
May-Aug: 54 MMA bets \ wagering 140 U \ +38.6 U for the period.

Counting units, I'm +55 U (1U = 1%), but in terms of actual $$, the bankroll is up 69%, because of compounding and all that.

Looking back at my bet history, I remember I had the habit of placing a small bet on each of Lashley's opponents. After the Sims fight, I got tired of losing money that way, and stopped.

Where I lucked out: the Galvao fights. I had a pretty big bet on Lawler over Manhoef. Also not sure Bader was the right call over Jardine.

If I have a shift in strategy planned for the last 4 months, it will be to bet more on each fight, and also to keep my focus on wrestlers and try to avoid sprawl-and-brawl-win predictions, since I don't have a good record there. Of course, I'm mulling a bet on Cro Cop over Mir as I say that. And if Bader wasn't the right call over Jardine, wouldn't Little Nog have some value? Hmm...

Thanks. With Simpson, I just meant he was nearly finished in Round 1 and I was on the wrong side for sure.

I would love just a bet breakdown... I actually tried to do it for UFC 118... I had a spreadsheet in there somewhere. Then I started to do if for UFN 22... I created a google docs spreadsheet with all the regulars' names... but I gave up because you have to log in to see it. I am too computer illiterate to make a functional spreadsheet. So if you would do that, that would be awesome. I like having a quick reference of plays from people's that I know follow MMA...

That's a really impressive return. I wish you would make your plays known in an easy to access format.

Im definatly down with that.

I would even tally everything up after every event and keep a running tally.

Re: YTD results

Since I started posting here, I do try to post plays in the event thread, (usually pretty close to fight time since I procrastinate on research.) It can be hard to find people's plays in the long threads, so I'd totally be down with sbjj's idea as well though.

If you're wondering about the wager/profit ratio, I can tell you it's high-looking because I tend to bet more dogs (and because I've been lucky). Someone who makes a X% profit betting dogs will have a much higher ratio than someone who makes X% betting favorites. Doesn't make it a better method; since what counts is the $$$ you haul in.

Re: YTD results

I was just giving you shit, but I seriously would like to see your plays before hand. I don't know if you have been out to teh blog lately, but Charles has a google docs spreadsheet with all his plays, including his upcoming, he is actually beating my ass too. I linked it as a resource. It is a tidy and efficient way to track and share your plays.

I think the spreadsheet would be a good idea. It would be best if anyone could just edit in their own plays so no one really had to manage it too much.
