BloodyElbow Betting Game: UFC 99

by Eugene Schelfaut on Jun 12, 2009 9:50 AM EDT Comment 26 comments

Only two more events to go in this season of MMAPlayground's betting game. The next event is UFC 99 this Saturday. The last event will be The Ultimate Fighter 9 Finale on June 20th. Important: If you wish to join the Bloody Elbow betting ensemble, send me a message or leave a comment in this thread so I can send you an invite. Please make sure your login name is the same as your BE name or as close as possible.

Updated camp rankings in our Super Heavyweight division (60+ members) after UFC 98:

The event winners for our team after UFC 98 were snet_tim and virginiatech. Snet_tim was our highest earner for the event using under $1,000, earning $710 with $600 in wagers. Virginiatech ranked #27 out of 5544 with 73 points awarded based on fight predictions.

Overall, however, the BE team is holding last place in our division. This is due in large part to the self-imposed betting limit of $1,000 for this season, but we are also holding last in terms of picking percentage. There will be no betting limit starting at UFC 100.

Finish strong(er).

The current MMAPlayground lines for UFC 99 are in the extended entry.

i’m putting my 280 left on mustapha al turk

i’m gonna ride cro cops retirement fight into a big pay day

Buchholz is at +620 and al Turk is at +710

But I’m putting him in a parlay so I’ll have a bigger potential reward than betting straight up al Turk.

Plus I think al Turk gets KOed in the first and buchholz actually has a chance to win it.

But what do I know? I’m the guy with cash cause mcfedries and soszynskiesteryiknhdkdb ruined my parlay..

What happened to Snet_tim? He was pretty active here for a while.

If we can translate from our secondary league (first 2 events of this season, we have had 2 top 5 for Strikeforce and WEC) over to the UFC pick them, then… well… we will be number 4 or 3 overall.

It doesn’t matter. This $1000 dollar limit crushes us in the wagering portion. When is this getting taken out?

All you need to do is make an account at MMAPlayground with your same user name and post here saying you have done so or message me on MMAPlaground. I will then send you a camp invite and you can make your picks and wagers for tomorrow.

I have been inactive for the most part, but I went all in on Al-Turk…$470…if he gets the upset (which I think is alot more realistic than people are thinking) I feel that I will have done my duty. lol
