    Would you all like me to do it? I'll select a good range of fights and I have a scoring system that would work best. I don't know what happened to 'Lbarrow', but he's been absent for a while.

    Here is the scoring:

    Wrong fighter: 0 points

    Correct fighter with wrong result: 5 points

    .........

    Then the results choices:

    'MD,SD,UD close' are all in the same class. 115-113 across the board is a close UD. 116-112 and above is 'clear'.

    Then of course stoppage.

    So -

    Correct fighter with correct result: 10 points

    Correct fighter with spot on result(Hitting the close or wide decision or 3 rounds within the KO pick): 20 points.

    Correct KO round prediction: 25 points

    A draw prediction that hits: 25 points.

    That would be great. I always wanted to join the prediction league you guys had but I missed when the new league started so I was too late to be a part of it.

    For the correct decision prediction, what if the scores are 116-112, 116-112, 115-113, is that still a close UD or do you only need to look at two out of three scores? Also, if a fight is a clear robbery like the Kid Diamond match recently where everyone agrees it was, do you change the result?

    Do you know what level of fights you'll be doing this for? I don't remember how you guys did it before. Would you put main events from FNF or Telefutura on there too?

    BTW, did you get any word back on the vbookie draw mess from saturday?

    Two 116-112's is clear. If it's a blatant, universal robbery(not a close fight or even a mild gift where there are disagreeing sides, I mean a universal ****ing joke robbery)then we'll just scratch it out from the scoring.


    I'll choose up to 5 fights per week, all levels, and I'll try to keep it varied as much as possible. Kind of like how we choose Vbookie fights, only we have to actually find market odds for them.

    Also, if a poster has a suggestion for a fight, they can PM me.

    I have a solution to this, but it needs to be discreet for technical reasons, I'll talk to you and Boyd in PM for this. That thing ripped my 1,000 off also.

    Sounds interesting especially since I like fantasy sports and this is basically the same thing.

    I'd be interested in this , I'd also like to point out I have the over option on the VBookie for Magee v Oakey which should be a winning bet for myself .

    I'm in!

    And maybe you should score 35pts for a predicted draw?

    I don't know about Witter by stoppage, but I feel it's Witters fight without a whole lot of trouble.
