    EDIT: Going to limit this to the next 4 people who send me their email address. Will be $50 winner take all with 10 people

    Basically you get $1,000 fake money and you can wager on the UFC events using vegas odds that I will email to you about 1 week prior to event. You can wager on as many fights as you want and wager as much of your bankroll as you want. We are doing the next 5 ufc events so this will run through Sept. 25.

    I have rules all typed out and stuff, send me a PM with your email and stars account and Ill send you the complete set of rules. Or you can go here

    *SEND ME YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS AND POKER STARS ACCOUNT. COST WILL BE $50 AND I WILL EMAIL YOU WHEN IT IS TIME OT SEND THE MONEY TO THE ESCROW*

    UPDATE: One spot left, will still honor xquiz, chocolatecamo, or monteaz since they showed interest before if they pm me back.

    Interested.

    However, the OP does not lay out hard specifics or a detailed plan for the contest.

    Couple that with the fact that I dont know the OP makes my interest level at about 4 stars out of a possible 10.

    There, I said it.

    Ok everyone who responded before thsi will get a PM with more details. If you want to be in send me a PM with your email and how much youd be willing to play for. (Like give me a range such as $20-100 and ill try to put something together everyone will like) Maybe there will be more than one contest

    uggh p5s pms are stupid, only lets me send one message to one person every minute lol. Could everyone please pm me their email address and the range theyd liket o play for?

    Contest will be UFC only, probably 5 events, and thechemist is holding the money.

    I vote for UFC only events. I vote for next 5 PPV events main card only or next 10 events main card only. A deadline needs to be specified for each card. The odds will need to be set in stone in enough time for each person to make their picks. Odds fluctuate, so maybe a week in advance, we'll need to stick to whatever line from whatever site/place stated in rules. I'd vote for a bigger theoretical bankroll... maybe $1,000 or $5,000 (not like it matters ultimately, but it'd be easier to calculate probably). I vote for getting the picks of everyone emailed 24 hours prior to the event, which would make the deadline maybe 48 hours prior to the event. These are just my opinions. I'm in whether you use these opinions or not, and I'll hold the money. I don't mind taking money on any site and paying on any site, but that too is up to OP.

    or we could just do best win/loss record to make it easier

    The problem with win/loss is that you arent rewarded for picking a big underdog and having him win...

    I like these suggestions and Im gonna write up some rules and send them over email once enough people get back to me. Most sportsbooks dont even have prelim fights but I think they should be offered if they appear on the book. I Mean look at ufc117 the undercard has a lot of great fights.

    Also there is the problem that I can see everyones picks and if I was ahead I could theoretically take advantage of that in the last few weeks so if anyone has any ideas for this. Maybe ill make my picks before I send out the odds and I cant change them after that.

    I only suggested main card only to get more casual fans into the contest. I'm personally fine with all fights, but I assumed you'd get more registered with just main card. Send your picks to the last place guy each week before anyone else picks maybe... and he can then confirm that you didn't change them when sent to everyone else.

    Maybe everyone can send picks to the last place person (last place sends to me) and he can email me the picks one hour prior to the event, once they are final.

    Please send me PMs if youd like to be in, include your email, stars account, and the range that you would bet on this contest (ie $20-100) or something like that. were over 10 now just waiting for emails.

    Im looking at $50 for the contest because that seems to be in everyones range. There are a few people that asked for $100+ so let me know if you wanna put up extra money to go head to head with other people who want to play for more.

    I'm in. I will send a PM.

    Def think we should do a $1000 betting bank.

    Oh, and only in if UFC only. $50 is fine.

    Can we do 'multi' betting, or is it single bets only?

    money shipped!

    can you please answer if 'multi' betting is allowed. i.e putting a $100 on XXX to win, into XXX to win, into XXX to win, and therefore multiplying the odds.

    as in a parlay, all up bet?

    also, can you bet on how the fight will finish?
