    Hoff: Lets start a new contest.

    There seems to be a lot of new people here within the last few weeks posting their picks. Can you run another contest. We should be able to get more people this time.

    Have fun. With the new rules, non-pros can't transfer more then two points per day, and can't buy anything other then a shirt with them anyway.

    Nice, i need a cance at redemption after my last performance. I would like to put in a request:

    Either we dont have to pick every fight on a card, or in the event that we do, have more variation in play size, 3 top bets, or 5 top bets.

    We do a contest every event with my friends and we do all televised fights in he contest (counting facebook). Makes for a good number, and you can watch them all. It was 10 fights for ufc 127 and prob will be 9 fights for 128.

    Throw out some ideas on a format. If nothing seems to work then I'll just use the regular bet every fight format.

    My idea is something like start with $1000 per event. You can only bet fights somewhere between say -225 and +215. Then you have to pick a minimum of 3 fights or something with at least $100 on each?

    Love it.

    My only suggestion would be make it at least $200 on each to prevent somebody from going 100 on a favorite /100 on a favorite/800 on some crapshoot. Makes it slightly less swingy, with people merely trying to hit the lottery, and more about people making strong plays. If somebody hits, a +215 with 800 its going to be awfully difficult to catch up, contest could be over pretty quickly.

    Just a suggestion, but anyway you decide to run this contest I want in!

    I like it, but what's the reason for not being able to bet someone if they are -300 or +375.

    Well like Poppa said, we don't want someone playing the lottery and picking the three biggest underogs, and likewise not wanting someone to simply pick the three biggest favorites. This guarantees at least a little capping involved. And even though the picks would be limited to a certain value it still allows for a little variety to what you can pick.

    Ok. That's fair. So this seems like a good start. $1000 to start with for each event. Must play at least three fights between -250/+225 with a minimum bet of $200. How should we do points for the contest. 100 from each player with 70/30 split and a small win bonus for each event like last time.

    I don't like the cap on the moneylines. $1,000 with a 3 fight minimum and a max risk/win per fight of something like $200 or $300.
