Not as good. But maybe it's cause we're all used to the old one.

I can see why they changed from p2p to betting the house, even if there is complaints I think its better in the long run.

I really like the new layout compared to the old one, it's perfect for my nice big widescreen moniter :)



For the other things like Hall of Fame, badges ect it's all good, adds to the already great site :)

I agree I love all the changes to the site except the betting but you can't have everything. This is after all the best site on the PLANET!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, this is a funky event to start the new system out with because almost every fight has a heavy favorite/heavy underdog lol. Evans is +900 because so few people have picked him to win on the site and because so few people have put any money on him to win

Watch that. Don't put a pile of money on a fight right away, keep an eye on it. The odds aren't locked in at the time of your bet. They will change as the picks for that fight change.

I'm guessing that the betting odds will lock at the same time as the picks lock.

I like it so far, it makes it harder for people to cheat, and alittle easier for people who are just getting into the betting system. And I also like the new layout...

i do actually like this version because that way a guy with more correct picks wins instead of someone who makes a shitload of uneven bets

I'll just repeat what I wrote in another thread...

The new system is great. Betting against the line is a more realistic betting system anyway. I applaud the site for finding a way to take away the fraudulent players and keep a competitive system in place. Props to all involved, and I hope MMAPlayground continues to grow.
