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.

I'll pick any UFC fight, and then every other fight where I feel like I know a little bit about the fighters.  I used to sometimes pick oddsmaker favorites even if I didn't really know the fighters that well, but I've stopped after getting burned a lot. 

Like last night's Jameel Massouh vs Roli Delgado fight at Bellator. Both guys had WEC/UFC experience, but mostly losses and I didn't really know much about them. Delgado was the -200 favorite, which was tempting, but I decided to stay away and not pick.

I try to pick every fight that's not between fighters that are not 0-0 or between guys that don't have a losing record. It is hard to pick fights between guys who are 1-7 and 1-5. You can't really analyze those records very well all you can do is guess and I don't like to leave my thing to a guess. I will pick every UFC fight regardless of record and I will pick every SF maincard fight, Bellator Fight most of Shark fights and MFC.

I pick on every single fight available.  I'm sure if I stuck to picking fights that I know more about I'd have a much nicer winning percentage, but the thing that's sweet about this site is that it's getting me to pay attention to fighters and fights that I normally wouldn't even know existed.  I'm just not into playing it safe.

I've been picking everything lately. Strangely, my predictions for smaller shows are correct at about a 70% rate, whereas my picks for Strikeforce/UFC are barely above 50%. It seems like I am able to be more objective evaluating fights between guys I am relatively less familiar with.

I pick every fight unless there is a last minute change I dont catch...I'm at about 59% even though I dont know a lot about the smaller shows I still pick them at least it has me checking the results!

I find it easier to pick for the smaller leagues. More mismatches and can crushing.

When you pick in the big leagues it's a lot more competetive and harder to predict the outcome.

I'll pick who i like over who i think will win almost every time..just looking at the 24 guys i have under my favorite fighters they are 13-10-1 in all of their last fights...i'm going to change it up from now on starting with picking Davis over Lil Nog
