Diaz vs. Daley Predictions

This is the official prediction commentary thread for Diaz vs. Daley. Let's see what you've got.

@Giosanti .... Holy **** 90%?

Giosanti's 89% is awesome.  If you look, he's got a specific strategy, like he said:

Carefully only picking fights that he knows about.  Nothing wrong with this, in fact it's cool.  But of course you need to look at that 89% differently from a member who is picking all the random undercard fights.

There might be a "comprehensiveness" metric that we can add to everyone's profile.  Picking above 60% if you make a pick on EVERY single fight is equally impressive. Maybe we can find a way to display this, so that it's easier to get a sense for everyone's picking strategy.

Again, it's not a knock on giosanti's strategy.  Why should we pick fights we don't want to? 89% = like a boss.

Or now that he's got Christopher Moltasanti instead of Tony Soprano, he's picking like a captain, not a boss.

maybe have a percentage stat of fights picked that are available on the site? 

I like favorites, I like -220.

Not sure we will see a finish tonight.

I think the penalty for not picking all fights should have to do with the leaderboard. If you don't pick many fights you aren't gonna top the leaderboards. That way people have a choice to either go for a high pick %, or go for topping the leaderboard. To go with that, maybe you could find a way to make topping leaderboards more valuable. I believe there's an award that you can unlock for topping a leaderboard isn't there? Well, u could add more awards, or maybe add a stat to profiles to display how well users have fared in each leaderboard.

good ideas giosanti!

good stuff to think about.

Yeah, I do the same thing as Giosanti. I pick all UFC prelims, but I'm not going to pick between a 2-0 guy vs a 0-0 guy, in a fight where I might as well flip a coin. I'd rather my pick percentage reflect my knowledge of fights and fighters, not my guessing ability. I'm very happy with my almost 70%, and I don't want to drop down to like 60, just because I don't do well guessing. (not that it's all guessing on the SF/Bellator prelims, I pick on a few of the fights, like tonight I lost on picking Takaya, props to those who can maintain good percentages picking all the fights.)

We'll see how my percentage holds up as I pick more fights....

Game plan to beat Daley. Talk **** to him, get under his skin. He will fight stupid via soccer kicks or punching after the bell....you win.
