Not sure if serious question.... but if really serious, the short (or possibly shortest) answer would be:

Billy Riley ---> Billy Robinson (/ Karl Gotch) ---> Josh Barnett / Kazushi Sakuraba

"If the enemy rejects the ground, I would take him down by tackle. Why didn’t he [Royler] do so? May I introduce him to a good coach? His tackle was... like a girl’s one... Mr. Royler, how are you feeling?" - Kazushi Sakuraba

Would it be possible to 'report' Joe Kerr and have him suspended for a couple of weeks?

I think I have it figured out on how he does it.

I've been working on that as well, and after a long and arduous study my results tell me that he wins because he has the most points.

Waiting until the last minute sure does help.

Nah, I pick pretty late too and I'm all over the place ... I rank anywhere from 16 to 3 on any given weekend. By saying he waits until the last minute you're implying he gets ... err, inspiration from Tapology trend. Seeing as he's, well, 3 leagues above Tapology trend that's pretty much an impossibilty.

Why is it so hard to fathom the dude just knows his ****? You literally see the same 3-4 guys toping 95% of the weekend comps, I'd say it's pretty safe to say these guys just have a bit more knowledge and a better method of researching what they don't know.

Looking at the past 4 competitions, this is how many MORE correct picks JK has than the 2nd place finishers:

11/13:  19 more
11/06:   11 more
10/30:  0 more
10/23:  13 more

So it's not a massive difference. My guess is JK is making choices in his picks that are the same as the other top pickers for most of the events.  But then he is also doing a little bit more research on as many matchups as he has time for.  Maybe watching some youtube video of the fighters, in order to give him an edge in 20 or 30 of the fights each weekend.

Gregory, that is what I am thinking.  He does look at what others are doing I bet. A smart person would.

@shot, don't worry, this one is most likely my last one, at least in a long while. My duties and priorities have shifted somewhat quite recently leaving me with very little time for hobbies like the picking games and I already had to more or less rush pick the majority of the 700+ fights weekend. And I doubt that is going to change in the foreseeable future.

@soda, if you just asked, I could've saved you all the detective work. The secret is that I pick who I think is more likely to win in the way I consider the most likely.

And since @yoss suggested it...


@Griffy,
