#1 Posted: 6/21/2012 6:43:36 PM Anyone can come on these boards and pick one out of two fighters who they think will win a bout.
Try offering just a tad bit of insight as to WHY you're leaning the way you're leaning. |

#2 Posted: 6/21/2012 7:17:28 PM Write ups are overrated.
If you pick winners, you pick winners. 
If I post a pick, I am more than happy to answer any questions about it though if inquired. |

If you post a pick, it's pretty safe to say that everyone is wondering WHY that's your pick. |

I disagree with that statement 100%.
Would you rather someone post winners with no writeups, or losers with a breakdown of why they picked it?
You should be more interested in winning picks, than reading write ups.  |

No problem though man. Agree to disagree. |

#6 Posted: 6/21/2012 10:11:45 PM I agree with Sharp. I used to post detailed write-ups, but in the end, it just led to mindless arguements with dumb f*cks who know crap about MMA.
Although my record this year absolutely sucks, my track record over the years speaks volumes. Like Sharp says, if someone wants further details about a pick, I am happy to provide it. |

#10 Posted: 6/27/2012 10:41:02 PM Stickin' to my guns here.
Offering insight into what goes into these picks is what makes these types of forums beneficial to bettors. Nobody is offering the type of winning percentages where the rest of us should just be content with someone "posting winners". Let's help each other out here.
Looking forward to what you guys think about the 148 card. |
