Hey hey beloved members
Lol sorry for the title, just thought it would draw your attention
But the question is real and I will explain why.
I participated in many MMA-Torrents competitions for the last 10 years (under a different username) just for fun. I never had great success, never won the belts nor did I win any league or competition. Still I am above average, and improving every year...
So I didn't win any big prizes in 10 years and have noting to boast about but I'm still super-hooked on the competitions.
Why?
Because it turns out that when you have made a bet, you picked a winner, it changes EVERYTHING! Suddenly fights with fighters I hardly knew, didn't normally care about, and fights I typically would have watched with one eye while doing something else in the past suddenly became incredibly important and got my full attention. Because, I had picked a winner, so competitive as I am, I of course wanted that fighter to win. Suddenly each and every fight had more meaning for me.
And if I missed entering a competition I felt like the fights where meaningless lol, I wouldn't win anything so I didn't care as much.
Event a stupid point in a silly competition is enough for me to see the fights in a whole other light. And I must say I love it!
It simply makes it much more fun to watch the fights!
Add to that the fact that I have had to start to research the fighters before each event to try to pick the winner to improve my stats, and that made me more knowledgeable and MMA-wise in general. Plus it's a great practice for betting real money.
If you have not tried entering a competition yet I strongly encourage you to give it a shot! It is a lot of fun and it does test your MMA smarts!
Why not start with this one:
And if that one is already closed, be sure there will be a new competition soon so dont blink
Have fun guys!
Great reply!
