The Big Payback – UFC 257 Bets
The Big Payback UFC 267
Ryan Frederick and I are staff writers at WrestlingObserver.com and regular contributors to this site. We also co-host the “In the Clinch” MMA Podcast on the Fight Game Media patreon. Thomas Matera is a former WWE superstar and current independent wrestler and MMA enthusiast. He also hosts the “Left My Wallet” podcast on the F4W network.
Ryan’s Guide to UFC 257 was posted earlier this week.
The rules are simple. Each of us makes five picks for each card and a $100 bet on each pick. We will keep track of the profits and losses, the most fights picked correctly and the number of events won per person. Obviously if you’re betting, the ONLY important thing is how much money you win and lose so keep that in mind.
For betting novices, the odds reflect the amount of money won or lost for a $100 bet. If the odds are negative, you must bet that amount to win $100. If they are positive, you win that amount if you bet $100.
In addition, we will give a “best bet” exclusively on our “In the Clinch” podcast show that drops on Tuesdays. This week we had two picks each with shows on Wednesday and Saturday. For last week, both our best bets paid off for a profit of $119.43 if you bet $100 on each one. On Wednesday’s show, both our picks lost, so the loss on the year is now $80.57.
