[Vaughany]

Looks like Lask got best with 8/11 I think! I'm happy with a 7!

[Vaughany]

I f'ed up. My pick is supposed to be Machida, not Rampage. If I can't change it, its cool.

haha Maybe u f**k**n up was a sign!

[The HOFF]

I'll get the grading done this afternoon during football.

[Eccocide]

haha Maybe u f**k**n up was a sign!

haha no shit. I guess I shouldnt have said anything

I think Lasker actually got 8-3, only ones he didnt get right were Machida, Hughes and Griffin?

You are correct. Got it changed.

[Vaughany]

How does the scoring work?! Like for instance the only difference in mine and Brooks plays wer that he had Lauzon and Falcao while I had Sot and Harris. There's a 270 point difference between us which I realise is because Falcao was quite a big dog but how does it actually work out? Do u include the 100 stake when working out? And yes, Im retarded at maths!

You get +100 for winning with a favourite. you get + odds for winning with a dog. you lose 100 for losing with a dog and you lose whatever the odds are on a favourite.

For example, Brooks had Lauzon (a dog) who lost so he loses 100 and a win with Falcao at +210 (so he wins +210). You had Sotir who won as a fav so you get +100 for him and you have Harris who was -260 who lost as a fav so you lose -260. So brooks ends up +110 from those 2 fights and you end up -160 for those to fights which in total equal the difference before you guys.

ha cheers man, I realised I was being retarded after I posted that and that I was over-complicating things - it really wasnt that difficult to workout! I wasnt working it out on the basis that u always get a 100pts if a favourite wins (regardless of the odds and whether they're a slight favourite or big favourite) so was getting random totals!

[lasker]

Ironic... I'm pretty sure I lost more real money on this card than anyone else in this competition I'm horrible at money management. These 30 points do not quite compensate for my stupid parlays, but I'll take them.

Pleased with the picks aside from Hughes, though. I scored Machida-Rampage the other way and Griffin-Lentz was apparently a robbery.

I probably have you beat. I lost a well above average play on Machida. Really thought he should have been up around -400. Hearing that decision was a real kick in the nuts, as I really wasnt contemplating that he lost ROund 1. Watching it again, the round was closer than I had thought, but I still think it was a shitty decision.

I have a long road to get back in this thing.

Nah. I probably have you beat too. I had Griffin, Hughes, and Machida. I loaded up on those three.

[brooks85]

I'll spot brooks his remaining 88 points. Brooks, just pay me back whenever you get em.

thank ya sir, i made the responsible move and cashed out early on SBR trivia ha, transferred the last 40

[Eccocide]

lol NP. That was quick!

[Kaladarus]

I think it was a bad card betting wise for most people. Also why did they spell Sotiropoulos wrong after he won? Such an easy name.

[The HOFF]

With TUF 12 and STRIKEFORCE (only 5 fights) on the same night, they will be combined together for the 30 point prize. However YOU STILL PICK A BEST BET ON TUF AND STRIKEFORCE. So that is a total of 2 best bets. Please list number and odds by your pick and label your best bets.
