Fight Sports and the Integration of Tech

Posted on May 31, 2020 by A. J. Riot

Sports organisations adapt, renew and develop through creative and novel ideas. The integration of tech has the potential to radically change how sport is played and viewed, reshaping and improving not only athletic performance but the experience of spectators. In this way, technology not only changes the way we live, work, and play: it is transforming the fight sports athletes train. Here are some of the technologies used:

Altitude Mask

An altitude mask is designed to simulate the low oxygen conditions of training at altitude, by restricting the flow of oxygen to your lungs. The product forces the lungs to work harder, improving the strength of the intercostal muscle and improving overall lung capacity, anaerobic threshold, oxygen efficiency and even mental focus. The acute shortness of breath also makes you more used to the feeling, more comfortable in competition.

The harder workout increases intensity, so the effects of the training are felt sooner, so you do not need to train for as long. This reduces the risk of injury and gives more recovery time when competing.

MMA vs Boxing: What are the major differences?

Posted on May 25, 2020 by A. J. Riot

MMA and boxing are both very popular sports at the moment. They even came to a thrilling head to head when McGregor took on Mayweather in Vegas. When they did do battle, pundits spoke of how McGregor would have to adapt to stand a chance. The reason for this is because there are so many differences between MMA and boxing.

Is MMA More Difficult to Predict?

The first difference on our list is not always true, but the law of averages suggests it is harder to call a winner in MMA bouts compared to boxing matches.  MMA matches tend to be more closely contested, with a higher number of fighters around the same level of ability. Add this that one strike with any limb, elbow or a choke can win an MMA fight in a split second.

New Feature Launched: Overrated / Underrated Icons

Posted on May 24, 2020 by Jason

On the divisional ranking pages, you’ll notice two new icons next to some fighters: AND .

The presence of this icon means that the fighter’s average ranking for the three purely mathematical systems we have (2 Elos and Glicko-1) are vastly different than the FightMatrix standard ranking.  As such, is displayed when the Elo/Glicko average rank suggests the fighter should be much higher ranked and is displayed when the opposite occurs.

To be more specific, if:

  • (Elo/Glicko/WHR < FightMatrix * 0.4) THEN
  • (Elo/Glicko/WHR < FightMatrix * 0.5) THEN
  • (Elo/Glicko/WHR < FightMatrix * 0.667) THEN
  • (Elo/Glicko/WHR > FightMatrix * 2.5) THEN
  • (Elo/Glicko/WHR > FightMatrix * 2.0) THEN
  • (Elo/Glicko/WHR > FightMatrix * 1.5) THEN

Examples:

  • Elo/Glicko/WHR #15 & FightMatrix #32 =
  • Elo/Glicko/WHR #3 & FightMatrix #5 =
  • Elo/Glicko/WHR #13 & FightMatrix #18 = [nothing]
  • Elo/Glicko/WHR #47 & FightMatrix #15 =

 

As of now, these will only display on the current divisional ranking pages.

UPDATE: With the addition of WHR, we are dropping the highest and lowest fighter ranks before performing this calculation.

Close Decisions and DQs… What If?

Posted on May 18, 2020 by Jason

Last year, we added support for a slightly modified version of the Glicko-1 rating system and I posted a pretty thorough article about it here.

I proved a few things that I already knew, but most notably that it’d be more accurate to treat split decisions and majority decisions as draws, than to treat them as full wins.  Prediction rates were highest when I assigned a win value (max=1.0) of 0.55 to split decisions and 0.61 to majority decisions.  This means that the loser in these cases receives the remainder of the win value.  The same thing very likely applies to close unanimous decisions, but we’ll keep it simple for now.  For the record, in a draw situation, 0.50 goes to both fighters.

Disqualifications are another strange outcome too.  After watching them happen in MMA, gut feelings tell you that in most cases, they are freak occurrences.  We have to count them in the official results, because if we didn’t, fighters would use them to bail themselves out of bad situations unless thoroughly penalized.  Unfortunately, there aren’t too many of them, which makes them a poor subject for analysis.

So, what happens if we run the rating system against the pro bout database where we treat split and majority decisions as draws and ignore DQs?  Well, wonder no more!

Getting bored in the lockdown? Try your hand at cricket betting with these tips!

Posted on May 18, 2020 by A. J. Riot

So it’s getting hard for you to kill time in this quarantine period? Well, it is obvious for you to get bored, especially when you cannot step out of your house for anything, not even a walk. You are not the only person stuck at home, as people in most parts of the world are following the same norms of locking themselves indoors as that’s the only way to survive this apocalyptic phase initiated by a killer virus.

Sports in the time of Corona

Most of your favorite sporting events around the world have been called off for an indefinite period. The IPL is halted, and all other championships have been suspended. At such a moment, you may be feeling very low and tense as you are not sure how can you continue betting amidst such a volatile situation.

Well, for bettors, there has never been a shortage of betting options and e-cricket betting is coming up to be a potential alternative. Since no real-life cricket event is being conducted anywhere around the globe, your only option is to bet on e-cricket tournaments. But what are the rules and how you can ensure your profitability? Well, we are about to discuss that in a while.

Online Gambling Tips to Know before Playing

Posted on May 18, 2020 by A. J. Riot

After a tiring day at work, it’s normal to relax. For some, relaxation is reading a good book or watching a TV show. For others, it’s online gambling. Whether you like online gambling for fun or for earning money, it is important to protect yourself. As such, follow these safety tips to make sure that your identity and finances are safe:

Gamble at Licensed Sites 

Online casinos and lotto games are required to follow standards set by the authorities. The government’s goal is to protect the players by regulating gambling websites. Thus, gambling on a website that does not abide by the rules will only put you at risk.

You can know if the site is not regulated by the authorities by checking the logos at the bottom of the page. You can file complaints if you have discovered unregulated casinos or those that operate against the law.

Another effective tip to find a safe place to gamble is to do your research accordingly. Check out the reviews or ask your friends for their recommendations. There are hundreds of gambling sites on the internet such as LottoPark.com. They all make claims of being the best in the industry. You can ask a friend whom you trust about what they say on the site that you choose. Make sure that you deal with a gambling site that has been operating for at least five years. They also must have a positive reputation on the web. Keep Reading
