Anyone else pick badly at UFC 87

I was at the event and it was a lot of fun but I had interest in seeing Florian, Emerson and Brock lose

Am I alone in the 87 wall of shame picks?

My picks are as they usually are, hit and miss.

I picked 8 winners. 5 of them, I picked the right round/endings. The other three, I believe I blew the round/endings.

8 winners
only 2 11s... St Piere and Kongo
Manny and Cummo let me down- ( Many expected more from Mann anyway)

you guys did fine, wha'cho talkin bout willis

I was actually surprised so many people were picking Luke. Never much a fan of his.

by his performance yesterday, i was very impressed, a lesser fighter would have easily tapped on 3 or 4 seperate occassions

gotta give it up to luke in defeat

the last 4 or 5 events have been a horror story.

Yes you are alone

no. i picked manni for sure. for some reason thought kongo would lose. hoping on heath to give lesnar a head kick. thought cummo would hand out a knock out. i was in the 20's

The Manny fight is the only one that I was really pissed about, and that's only because he blew my parley (real money)

the biggest bone headed move for me was going against Maia I though McD would try to stand with him

Same here. I figured a parlay of Manny and GSP was fairly conservative. I learned a lesson though and won't bet on a fight like that again. Luckily I bet on Florian too to cover most of my loss.

I did ok on picks considering I only got 6 of 10. Manny was a stunner and I didn't see anything out of Jones that would lead me to believe he could be Gusmao, but thats what happened. I felt Herring was fairly close but went with the tested fighter over the rookie. As for Cummo vs. McCrory, I picked against McCrory mostly on the idea his training camp was having problems, he was going to school full time, teaching part time and not having time to train. I should have changed my pick when I saw the weigh-in photo and he looked great, but I was foolish and didn't do it. Live and learn.

I wanted to pick my boy, but had to take McCrory in a close fight. I had it split decision. As for picks, had an ugly 5-5 mark. Underdogs killed me and I blew my wagers right away. Not to mention I had Herring by tapout in round 1.

I went 7-4 with 61 pts. That's a decent event for me points wise and average wins wise. All my losses were on the undercard, which was ok considering they were all guesses.

I hit my parlay as well so I consider this one of the better UFC events I've had.

This is definitely one of the better events I've ever had. Maybe not points-wise, but overall, for sure.

8-2 w/63 points

For the 2nd consecutive event, I hit my parlay (Maia, McCrory, Florian). I also won $3900 on Jones. Prior to these last 2 events, I had pretty much broken even or lost money on 8 consecutive events.

I ended up winning over $15,000 overall.

I had a good event; It'd be my pleasure to share my strategy with my fellow playgrounders.

First I take a look at the matchups.

Next I flip a coin.

Then I disregard if it's heads or tails and I simply pick the winners.

You went 6-4...there were only 10 fights.

Mergiligaga

I went 8-2...Guess i shouldnt of picked Fitch..But damn what a soldier atleast i had the decision picked..and Manny i didnt see that coming.

Next event i should be in the 200 career wins club.

72 points... I went 9-1, so yeah, there were only 10 fights.

Manny blew it for me though, I had (3) 11's too.

Cummo, Gamburyan, And Herring. Should of known better with Cummo and Herring, But Emerson REALLY shocked me

LOL

I only counted the wrong ones and assumed there were 11. Not sure why. lol

was I the only one who gave Emerson a more than likely shot on taking Manny? I mean Manny is good, but cmon, u all picked him?

I honestly gave that a 95%-5% for Emerson, and most of that 5% was that Mannys shoulder would dislocate again.

I thought the exact same thing. I saw Manny grinding out a hard fought decision, but I in no way thought Emerson TKO in less than a minute. Props to Emerson for taking advantage of Manny's super sloppy stand up.

Yeah nothing that I've ever seen from Emerson would lead me to believe he could have much to offer Gamburyan, but he did what he needed to, it was brutal.

man i went 5-5. i wasn't a member to this site, but since UFC 83 i picked almost perfectly.

Startin at UFC 83 I've actually kept track of my record, cuz me and my friends make bets and stuff, and I only bet on the televised card for those too, but my record was 28-5, and that includes both TUF finale, and UFN, but excludes UFC 87
