Bloody Elbow Betting Game: UFC 108 Evans vs. Silva Results

by Eugene Schelfaut on Jan 3, 2010 5:40 PM EST in MMA News

We did well on UFC 108 while FightLinker pulls guard to play bottom position in a familiar last place. Our picking percentage for the event was a Super Heavyweight division (60+ members) leading 69.2%. Well done and keep it up.

Our individuals deserving praise for the event come in the form of Yekop and Tayman. Yekop led our camp with 84 points earned through correct fight predictions. Those 84 points are good enough to place him in 25th out of the 4335 competing in the event on MMA Playground. The only fight missed by Yekop was Sam Stout vs. Joe Lauzon, as he picked a first round submission by J-Lau which never happened. I feel that particular pain.

Concerning the wagering side of things, Tayman earns $3,682 on the event. Most of this fake money comes off a $300 Miller/ Munoz/ Stout parlay. Tayman placed an admirable 6th out of the 4375 wagering digital coin on 108. Congratulations all around. The next event and 2nd of the 10 event season is UFC Fight Night 20 January 11th. Don't forget. More top players from our camp are displayed in the extended entry.

when you have a bigger bankroll that can be a good strategy since there is never a shortage of bad lines on mmaplayground, i wouldn’t do it if you don’t have the money to spread around though

Do pay sites have significantly different lines as compared to MMAPLAYGROUND?

What are the best pay site for using real money? Been thinking about putting up a small bankroll.

by !claw on Jan 3, 2010 8:48 PM EST up reply actions

it depends

mmaplayground lines are determined by their site rankings and peoples picks on the site and stuff which sort of makes it a popularity contest.

i don’t actually bet a whole lot of real money because i don’t have it so i can’t really help you there but you could do centsports which is like mmaplayground with real lines and the prospect of real money if you are good.

Dammit, I knew I should have changed my third parlay pick from Daley to Hazelett, but the last time I changed my pick at the last minute I paid the price. Ah well.

by brad23 on Jan 3, 2010 7:03 PM EST reply actions

Uhh....

The other way around, Hazelett to Daley… damn Mondayitis.

I hope Maynard doesn’t let me down at FN, going to bet the farm on him I think.

#34!

Parlay – $60 P. Daley, J. Dos Santos, C. Miller +$234
$550 Junior Dos Santos +$200
$65 Paul Daley +$52
$65 Jacob Volkman -$65
[prediction bonuses] $260

My second try. Still learning. Was conservative with everything but Dos Santos, which I hoped would cover any loses.

Think I could manage to steal some of your members to drop you into heavyweight?

Um, any prizes this time?

Now that I’m 6th in Earnings I suddenly care. :)

Seriously, having a little something at stake always makes it more interesting. Even a BE t-shirt or commemorative plaque.

Next event is my last and I don’t know who is taking over, so I can’t answer that.

Jeez did we really embarass you that badly last season?

by ufc4 on Jan 3, 2010 11:45 PM EST up reply actions

Hey,

Do not hate the player, hate the game!

It was your choice to get all these player and you did it even if you knew that the logic was in going with less players to have a better score. We have the option to enroll some new players because let’s face it, CPT is the proven best and the core of good players we have just will not defect to having less chance to win the badge at the end of the season! ; )

BTW you always have the option of cutting down the roster to come play with the big guys!
