MMAjunkie.com has an eight-part guide about betting on MMA. I don't gamble (but I've always been interested in reading about MMA and football gambling/handicapping), so I can't really assess if it is quality information, but I thought it was a good read for someone who doesn't know much.

MMAjunkie used to have a writer, Eric Foster aka Performify, who would make picks before big events and whose columns I usually enjoyed. As far as I know, his last column was prior to UFC 121 where his one pick was betting 7 units on Lesnar at -140, so perhaps he died from shame. Does anyone know if he writes a similar column elsewhere, or of any other sites that currently feature similar columns?

My interest in the MMAjunkie/Performify columns wasn't about how correct he was in his gambling picks, but rather that he attempted to analyze the fights from a gambling perspective, rather than just simply making a pick as to who he thought would win. I know all MMA "journalism" is pretty terrible, but I'm just curious if there are any other sites that regularly analyze fights from a gambling perspective.

Just wanted to pop in and wish jase1 well.

I stopped following MMA probably 7 or 8 years ago, but I kept this thread bookmarked and check in on it regularly. On a Sunday morning when I'd know there was a big UFC event the previous night, I'll check out the results and jase's bets to see how it went. It has been a fun ride and jase has been a great main character for this thread. Best wishes to jase and family.
