This surprised me

Most Picked Fighter: Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone
  • Picked 13 times
  • Correct 12 times

What most surprised me about this was that all the picks I made on Cerrone ended on 2015. I have not made a pick on him since.

A fighter I have a lot problems picking correctly is Damien Maia. I'm 0-6 with the guy.

Strange even if you picked the opponent it still counts as picked fighter and correct if the opponent wins!

If you think that's bad, it used to be Eryk Anders.

Tim Means 

19 times 
10 correct 

That's weird. On my profile it says Tim Means 19 but I checked Cowboy and I've picked 27 of his fights.

so it's actually Cowboy 

27 times 
13 correct

I’m in the same boat ShakeAndBake, mine says I’ve picked Tim Means the most at 19 times, but I’ve picked Cowboy 29 times. Makes no sense to me.

I'll have to look and see if there's a bug in the code for this.

Answer


Okay, it's sort of a bug, but not exactly.

The fighter that is selected is the one that you picked THAT fighter the most.  Let's say you picked Cerrone to lose 100 times, and never picked him to win.  In this scenario, the system says you've never "picked" Cerrone, and therefore he will not be listed as your most picked fighter.

If Cerrone isn't your pick, he's not included in the tally. 


This ought to be changed, but we probably won't get to it for a very long time. The database queries needed to do it differently will be much more complex, and we have more important features that we need to build for you!!

@Greg that's just bad coding TBH. I mean.....it's the sort of thing that can be fixed with a when loop.

@fishrat no other way to put it than you have no idea what you're talking about, and no idea about the complexity of this database and website
