I haven't been long in this game, but in my time doing it, I've done EXTREMELY well (if you exclude one horrifically bad, spur of the moment decision to chase my losses and bet a very foolish amount on Till against Masvidal that set me back in a major way). Generally, what I do is spend Thursday, Friday, and Saturday listening to various people's predictions on YouTube and weighing all of that against my own instincts. By fight day, it seems as if my subconscious presses all of that together, shakes it up, and serves it back to me in a deep gut feeling one way or the other. I like informed gut feelings because I'm not smart enough to base it all on conscious analysis, and I really think few people are. I will say this, my gut really let me down on the Till/Masvidal fight. Usually, I have some internal wranglings and mixed feelings and I go back and forth a bit, but every fiber of my being had Till winning that fight which is why I went so hard on it. Lesson learned.
More or less what I do, let those guys do my research for me, listen to the break downs but rarely just tail their picks. I take on board what people on here and YouTube and and podcasts say, pit it all together with some of my own personal opinion and make my picks that way.
