Just out of curiosity, who has the best % in calling fights? One guy I'm following has 64%. It looks like the average is around 59%. Also who has the worst %? Just wondering, I think it's interesting to read people's comments and then looking at their percentages.

Member Elkisland (picking at a solid 63.6%) made a great suggestion recently, which was to have your pick % displayed on the slide out here on the forum, when you hover over each user's avatar.  We thought that was a great idea and intend to do it soon.  That, and we'll likely also have other ways to see who picks the best.

Tomas Rios is picking nicely at 66.4%.   ACFMMA is very good at 66.3%.  The Oddsbot, who just picks oddsmaker favorites is at 65.6%.  I'm sure there are others in this range also, and maybe higher...

Yeah my pick count is messed up as well. I only picked 4 fights last night I think but it scored them wrong. I got four right. But my numbers show 4 right 2 wrong. 
I think it has something to do with the cancelled 128 that had rashad.
anyway to stay on topic I'm at 64%

im at 61% right now, ive gone down a percent or two over this month. I too like the idea to have percents more visible. This is why i dont gamble on mma anymore, the sport is just too unpredictable...

I am at a solid 65.6% since my successful event at 128. I've been doing pretty well since Bellator started, I try to do as much research on the fighters as I can. I don't think I'll ever get back up to 70, but my percentage has been going up, and I'm hoping to keep it around the 65 mark. I try not to cherry pick which fights to pick, I feel like that takes away from the legitimacy of my percentage, but I do admit I've avoided picking undercards of SF Challengers and Bellator because it's mainly 0-0 local fighters I've never heard of, lol.

I just realized I have the same percentage as the oddsbot, that makes me look like I only pick favorites, that's not true! Just last night I picked Pyle and Shogun.

@minotauro
I cherry pick my fights. But the fights I pick on here are a mirror of my real life bets. Just helps me keep track.

@Elkisland, that's actually a cool idea, and at 64% you must be making some money. Sorry, I didn't mean any disrespect by what I said about cherrypicking or whatever, I just try not to do it, but that's actually a cool idea to keep track of your bets with this site.

@ minotauro No offense taken man. You have a great win percentage picking the way you do. I don't bet a large amount of money. I split about 100$ between each bigger card. usually make about 60$ a card!
