Let me ask you guys a question about this fight picking stuff. Should i try to get the highest percentage that i can? Or keep a decent percentage and pick as many fights as possible?

I hope people don't think I cherry pick because of my low amount of picks. I pick every fight I know, but it takes a lot more luck than skill/knowledge when you are picking the prelims at XFC 17. I pick just about every Bellator fight, every SF fight, every UFC fight, and I browse the smaller shows to find guys that I can look into and make educated picks, but when it's a 2-3 guy against a 4-5 guy, I'm probably not going to make a pick.

case in point, my top 10 finishes all time have been...
3rd at BEP 5
1st at BAMMA 7
9th at Proelite 1
4th at ROF 41
5th at Tachi palace fights 10
8th at Shark fights 16
1st at Cage Titans 5
9th at AFC 1
3rd at Titan FC 16
1st at Strikeforce challengers 14
.....case in point, the 'biggest' event i've been among the best in was SF challengers...i really have a bad habit of picking with my heart on big events...couture vs machida, tito vs evans, carwin vs jds....ugh

One thing we'd like to do is come out with some different calculations of people's pick performance, so that it's easier to compare people (those who pick only big fights vs those who pick all the fights, etc...). At the moment we're focusing on some other stuff though...
