99-1????
Ok I get Jon Jones is the next big thing but 99%-1%? Vladdy and considering he’s only lost to Lil Nog, Tito, Arlovski and White I think he should get a little more credit than that
Who’s your pick to win then?
Also, would be fun to hear who’s the single person that picked Vlad, heh..

Well I might but a small bet on Vlad just because of the odds, just don’t see how it can be 99-1 like even when GSP and Anderson fight, the people they match up against are given a better chance
Yeah I see your point. These are just the fight picks though, straight up who you think is more likely to win, but I could of course understand placing an underdog bet on Vladdy.

it's like that
cause everyone is at least as smart as you are.
Yes! More people make bad bets! I am not happy with this sound picking! Aren’t there more idiots in the world? Come on, more people be irrational! Pick Matyushenko!

This is a case
of everyone knows Vlad is a dangerous fighter who could be a problem for Jones, yet everyone expects Jones to win, yet everyone expects there are other people who expect Vlad to upset Jones, yet when the tally is taken, everyone went with Jones.

Yeah, this is crazy
Odds on MMA Playground reflect fanboy hype, not reality.
Vlady is a very tough challenge. Heck, just the fluke factor of disqualification is more than 99-1 with a guy like Jones, who throws a lot of unorthodox moves.
Vegas is a bit closer to reality:
Jon Jones -600
Vladimir Matyushenko +400

You misunderstand
The odds aren’t 99-1. That just who is picking who to win on the picks side of the ledger, not the betting side.
Plus this was posted before many people will make their picks, I’m sure it will go higher at the time of the fights for Vladdy. But not much higher.
1% picked the janitor? Is there a 1% margin of error?

TV Listing?
Hmmm…I don’t see this on my TV guide. Is this event a PPV or is Versus 2 a channel that will pop up on the day of the event as free TV?
Not sure if you’re being serious, but it’s on Versus, with the ‘2’ indicating that it’s the second event held for the channel. If you get Versus (or The Score in Canada) you will be able to see it for free.

and i'm surprised that
the Ellenberger/Howard fight is so close….especially since Ellenger is going to KHTFO
"she told me she was on the pill." me
More like Ellenberger is going to beat Howard
Give me more time to figure out how….
Nick Garcia is the Brian Russell of MLS but 10 times worse.
This is the one fight
that I feel 100% certain about.
The Fireball Kid will be extinguished.

This is the best I've done yet..
- in points and #2 in money…
Got a crazy parlay that risks $1K for $30K possible win
Crossing my fingers
oops...
it automatically converted what i wrote into a numerical list
currently numero 3 in points not 1…yet lol
Rec'd
I don’t have much cash left, but I’m still trying to hold it down on the predictions.

$1500 parlay on Kelly/Ellenberger/Griffin
I’m 18-3 in my 2 week history of picking these games.
