Your Official UFN 89 bets

Was a tough event to play and so many of your picks above could have hit Jimm, love your picks regardless so chin up mate
 
Jim.

I feel your pain as i essentially tailed u this event. We will come back strong with July Madness
 
Well betted small, but lost all of them. Good thing the Euro been good, but I really feel the need to hit it off good with the UFC200 weekend... Lets do this guys!
 
whatever, kinda over mma betting right now. feeling like a waste of time (and money).

Have you thought about scaling back for a bit and just making some plays without research? I haven't watched tape for years. My guess is that you may find your results aren't much better with watching tape.
 
Great weekend for me, up around 3k+

@EzFlyer if you could make 153$ extra every weekend thats 612$ extra each month

thats 7k+ each year doing your hobby, just keep grindin

Interesting theory. I always watch tape and find i hardly ever change from my gut instinct after watching tape (therefore gut seems pretty accurate). It did save me from betting on Silva last card though my recollection of him was really wrong which i quickly found out after watching a few fights and i promptly switched to Saggo!
 
I think that for 95% of the people out there watching tape will improve their overall profit, but there is a decision to make when it comes to time consumption vs potential for increased profitability. At a certain point it comes down to the law of diminishing returns, where it takes an extra 90% of your time to yield 10% more profit. In many cases, the extra time it takes to do "proper" research may very well not be worth it. I guess it depends on the case, but for someone trying to get a minor edge by paying special attention to the smaller details in a certain stylistic matchup, it seems like watching tape is pretty much a necessity. I'm sure lots of people can do pretty well just going off memory and picking certain spots on each card though, and it would be a lot less time consuming.

$150/weekend with, what, 10-20-30 hours of cumulative research? Might as well work at McDonalds...I know exactly what he is grappling with. It's the time-sink, not so much the money.

30 hours research every week, thats like watching 200 fights
 
i think most of my picks were actually right, just i put the most money on the ones i got wrong! if i had gone harder on bosse and less so on valerie i would have made a killing. oh well i have literally just had the hottest streak of my gambling career, had to end eventually. cut a lot of my losses with baseball and soccer so should still be in the profits after my next event.

@ +175 silva was propably the play to make, that was a close split decision

No, but think about it. Research = posting and reading on here or other forums, watching tape, watching interviews, listening to podcasts, reading articles mmajunkie/sherdog/bloodyelbow/et al, and finally watching the actual event (that's 6 hours right there).

30 hours is an underestimate.
 
Finished about -3u on the night. I can't hit a parlay to save my life

Never thought of it like that!
 
I'd never have time to watch too much footage, would say tape but my VHS died 15 years ago ;)
Although with the lesser known fighters, I just can't remember their fights that well and need refreshing sometimes in case I'm mistaken with who I'm actually picking.
