Gauging interest - UFC tipping comp?

[Sathias]

MMA Playground run an excellent UFC tipping comp and their new "season" starts at UFC Fight Night 25 in 2 weeks time. As such I was thinking if there was enough interest I would make a GON "Fight Camp" and run a bit of a forum comp for fun

The way it works is there is two tipping comps which are different but connected. First is their "Fantasy Picks" where you pick who will win each fight, how they will do it and in what round. Second is the "Fantasy Wagers" where you bet virtual currency at fairly accurate market odds and see how much virtual dollars you can make. You can bet on as many or few fights as you like and can have a parlay (like a trifecta in horse racing) of up to 3 fighters. You also get bonus money from the "Fantasy Picks" comp, so its well worth doing both.

Screenies to show what I'm talking about

Wagers



Anyone interested? If we have enough people keen I will get it set up.

Sounds like fun, i'm in

By fun i mean, i'll suck at it, and it will be hilarious for others

[Sathias]

Yeah I usually end up losing all my money Makes me glad I don't bet for real

[Disco LT]

I'd give it a go, I don't follow UFC but enjoy it when I watch it, so why not!

Count me in, i'll lose it all because i bet with my heart instead of my head but it should be fun.

That's the good thing about the bonus money from the tipping... even if you lose the lot you still have 200-300 for the next round to try and make a comeback

[discobrad]

yeah i am in

[Sathias]

Ok I've made the fight camp so if people want to start signing up they can. Just let me know in this thread what your username is and I will invite you into the camp. On the weekend I will write up a proper intro for the camp and make it sticky.
