I was thinking of holding bets on UFC events. For each UFC PPV, members bet a certain amount of their money. If they lose, tough that's how betting goes sometimes. But if they win, they get a payoff (I haven't figured out how the winnings would work out).
What do you all think? Any variations you'd like to add to it?

i guess u mean the odds on someone to win like
someguy is 2/1 otherguy is 3/1
so if you pay 1 for otherguy to win u get 3 back....so tht means if you pay5 for other guy to win u get 15
tht wat u ment? lol
u would ave to make ur own odds nd tht
and i only kno 1 person in UFC...
i think i justed wasted a post :s

I guess I get what you're saying, but I'm not real great at determining the favorite. I wouldn't suppose anyone else could figure it out?

Yea of course man. See, betting is done as followed: Betting starts out 1/1 ok. Lets say the contestants are Chuck Lidell and Sylvia, lets say 49 people bet on Chuck, and 7 bet on Sylvia. Ok that would make the bets, 49/7, which reduces to 7/1. Betting is just reduced fractions lol. like, if you say, 5 bet on Lidell and 10 on Sylvia, the bets are 1/2, or 30 to 2 would be 15/1. Meaning, betting has bid pay offs, or small pay offs. If the one less likely wins, than the amount they bet is doubled by whatever. If the person bet 15 dollars, and the odds were 15/1, and they bet on the underdog, and won, they would get a payoff of 15 times 15. If they bet on the higher, they would only get their money back lol. If they bet 10 and the odds were 5/1, and they bet on the more favored, they would get a pay off of 20 bucks, I do believe. Hope that helps lol

heh, if your going to set up a system like this you might as well grab the vegas odds to make it a bit easier for you. But yeah LRey you pretty much hit it right on the head. Problem is though I do not know how many people would be willing to do such a thing and if something like this was done you would have to have a way to subtract the money from the people who would be involved. I think it would be quiet a hassle to set up here as I also don't know if there would be enough interest to do such a thing.

I think this would be fun, but again, hard to implement. The cards would have to be posted in advance so bets on the fight can be made before the fighters post results! But pre-posting can also allow for more big pre-match build-ups. Perhaps involving the gigantic bets thrown down AGAINST them? lol...
Sorry, I didn't notice you were talking about UFC. I thought we were talking about GHW matches. I can't say I'd be interested in participating in betting on UFC, soccer, or any other non-wrestling event.

I like your thinking jh777. It would be sweet to do the PPV matches because most of those matches would/should be worked into with feuds, which should give ample opportunity for betters to "size up" the individual battles and make a decision on who to bet for! (Sorry, was that a run-on sentence?)
Hehehe s1ckem... too bad about that kneebar. I was sure Brock was about to rock that dude's world!
