I know I'm not the best picker.. but I sure have improved since I started to pick more and more seriously, lol. Started out with 52%.. now on the verge of hitting 60%.

I've been getting a lot better these past couple weeks.  Only last month or the month before I was below 60%.

I ended the week at my precious 63.0% I've got to imagine that's in the top 10 for people who pick every fight.

85.7%... jp


Kinda sucks in a way because I'll be acting somewhat too conservative (but I'm planning on pick all fights on all UFC main cards) while being aware that my percentage converging to the 50's-60's is inevitable.

@Fatality If you only pick UFC cards, especially if only the main card, you can still expect to have a very high percentage, probably 68-73%.  The people with 58-65% typically pick close to every card including small ones with no-names.

Sorry about that. To me, Tapology is serious business.

62.1% after 396 picks, will be interesting to see if I can keep it here or get it higher by the time I pick 1000 fights

My goal was to be the best picker with a BB, I am currently about 600 points away from my BB.  I would have nabbed the top spot with my mid-weekend score of 67.8%, but ended the weekend down at 67.2%.  That % would put me at the 3rd best BB picker. 


The weekend wasn't a total loss however, as I won my 1st event!

yeah I am definitely hoping you are correct Fresno.  I enjoy seeing my name in the top so now that I am there; gotta work harder to stay there.

I'm still hovering around 65 percent.  My percentage has changed within .1 each week for the last several weeks.  Not having the net at home is a real bummer right now.

I'm just not hitting those perfects that push you up a level... I'm on a "perfect" lull right now.

@Kalibo me too I have been horrible at picking perfects lately, I'm lucky to get 1 an event the last few weekends

Bump for the weekend. 


My percentage is going to get murdered this weekend.  I've gone from 67.8 last week to something in the 66's.  So much for being the best picker with a black belt!
