That's some bright-eyed and wishful thinking there,Soccer. Lots of stiff competition up against you to be so confident.

The competition is so tough on the UFC cards especially. It seems like pickers come out of the woodwork every time we have one.

I've invited plenty. They sign up, but I can't get them to really participate. I guess it's an acquired taste.

@greg just out of curiosity, since you and skellier have both mentioned an influx of new users around ufcs, and i know ive got a bunch of people with letting them know about the 500$ for best picks, what is the theoretical limit of users at this point?
