Again rain disrupts the plans at Wimbledon but we have a nice match between Medvedev and Fucsovic just starting under the roof. Bookies made Medvedev big favorite but I think Fucsovic has what it takes to even win this match. My bet is on Fucsovic to take at least one set @1.6 for serious stake and then I have one more for him to win 3:0 at odds over 20, don't remember exact odds at the moment. That bet is just for fun anyway.
Thats a nice prediction though, thought that at first too but I wasnt that really sure if he could win a Set outrightly but he did, nice prediction 👍.... _______________________________________________________________________________ ____________ I am hoping on Rune to Win first Set and the full match, I predicted that alongside Jarry Nicolas under 14.5 total games.... That accumulated to about 3.2odds and I went all in.  Too bad for you, especially with Jarry winning that 2nd set, there was no feasible way for the Under 14.5 too play out, and Jarry is currently on the his way to probably draw the game at 2 set apiece, your rune bet is the only one left that could playout. The Alcaraz game is also interesting at the moment as he lost a close tie break but is now back to his form and dominates the second set. Zverev is interesting as well although I think he will again fall apart at some stage before the final in this tournament.
Quite identical to the Djokovic game, Alcaraz is also being kept on his toes, and it's not getting any easier for Alcaraz as the game progresses. Alcaraz would imo just end still being too much to handle for Jarry and would win the game eventually. |

but, my pick will probably go to Brighton finishing 11 and below, @3.75 I really don't know man, but the odd isn't worth it in my candid opinion, because Leeds, Leicester, and Southampton are not in the league, and these are the teams you can expect to fight for a spot in the top 10 positions and without them, I believe increases their chances of finishing top 10, I might understand that they've made some sales that could affect their performance, but average point to finish top 10 in the EPL over these years is what you need to consider, how many wins would be needed of Brighton to reach that threshold. We won't be playing many games next season, so I expect Poch to take advantage of this and make the top4, and if he doesn't, with the quality of players we have at the club, it will be a failure, putting even more pressure on him, as you mentioned.
I think biggest problem for Chelsea is Boehly. He does not understand football, the kind we play in Europe, and that was the main reason for that atrocious transfer window. I still remember you were happy with the signings but if you ask me his transfer policy is the worst I have seen in a long time. You pay 70M for Mudryk, 120 for Fernandez and let Kante, Jorginho and Kovačić for almost nothing. Then you buy Fofana for 80M and let go of Mount. I know they aren't same position but they are connected since they are both English and PL clubs must have them. Poch is a good manager, I just hope Boehly will listen to him and not do stuff his way. I can still say Boehly is likely laying the wrong foundation for Poch to fail, Kante, Kovacic and Jorginho are players that should be very valuable to the I understand the need to cut their salary budget, a situation Boehly himself put them in by purchase almost every available in the market. Look at Real Madrid purchasing very expensive midfielders but still kept Modric and Kroos for a years more, so that the new young prospect also learn a lot from them, I still think Poch can make his own decision and not just have a replica tenure with that he had with PSG. |

No way are you putting Lampard's problems on Chelsea's management! Tuchel took over the same team Lampard felt was not good enough and won everything, including making Rudiger into a world class defender. Lampard is not simply a good manager; he had everything at both Chelsea and Everton but couldn't do anything. English managers are terrible; none of them have ever won the Premier League. I'm not putting the Chelsea's failure during Lampard's tenure on the management, but the board needs to take some responsibility for hiring him the first place too, he was never qualified enough to coach Chelsea, at least not yet, what happened to David Moyes after his brilliant tenure at Everton he became an awful coach at Man Utd, and then his spell at was it Real Sociedad ? wasn't any different, but he's been not so terrible being back at West Ham, and you can say that the expectation are incomparable to what was expected of him at Real Sociedad or Man United. Even with Guardiola dominance at the premier league after 7 seasons in the league, he struggled in the first season too, finishing at the 3rd position and he's never finished out 2nd position since then, and no one pictured such a dominance from him, but here we are, it was easier for Guardiola to stand such pressure because of his experience as manager at all level of the sport as a manager haven managed two of the best teams in Europe. Poch does not have a title-winning mentality, but he is skilled at getting the best out of his players and developing young players, which is precisely what we want to achieve this season: get back to playing decent football and competing for a top-four finish. His goal this season is not to win the league, so I don't believe he's under a lot of pressure. I guess we can both agree he doesn't have a title winning mentality, and I don't that's what Chelsea is looking but we'll see, I guess. There is not going to be too much pressure on him, but if he's playing for the just the league and just the league cups, it'll will an utter failure to not make the top 4, wouldn't you think ? and that might be the every pressure he's going to face would stem from. Bring it on! I can't wait... |

@Harkorede the lower odd games are always the riskiest games in football betting these days.
Where is the lie ?! I've not been following the spreadsheet because I think I know the questions differences between me and my opponent, Cameron Norrie have been eliminated after just one round, so it's one leg in, one leg out for me on that question, however I have Hamilton to not finish on the podium as well, but the fact that the question isn't a H2H question is the reason why I'm not at a disadvantage. Spain U19 also settled question number 1 to my advantage just after 16 minutes, just a few more edges left for to secure this round, and Swiatek and Rybakina would influence have the most about it, I just noticed that the question of female tennis has quite a trick which I didn't notice until now, I have been rooting for Sabalenka being the world no. 2 thinking she's the one paired with Swiatek in the question, I didn't even notice Rybakina is world no 3 which technically means she is suppose to face tougher opponent before the second week, I might have had a different answer If had noticed she was not the second seeded player WTA, I think I still fancy my chances with my decision, there should be just a game left for Swiatek after today's right ? |

Inter Miami want Eden Hazard following Real Madrid exit? Could this be the resurrection of Hazard's career?? I doubt because he is old already and the strength is reduced, he wasted the peak of his career in Real Madrid. But then, seeing him in a new club, especially where Messi is will have rejuvenate his career a bit if only the media can hype him that much. In Maimi, I am sure Eden will see playing time and that is what is needed to pick form. Resurrection of Hazard's career ? at what age ?, in what league ?, MLS that's composed of other players trying to get the best deal out their old age as their retirement with a minimal level of competition. There is nothing left to be savaged off Hazard's career, to be honest he's way passed his prime and age caught up with him pretty fast, the Real Madrid transfer isn't what I would consider a mistake, but just a very unfortunate circumstance that made it seem like he didn't get to live up to the fullest of his potential, but the spell he had at Chelsea is still what some players would give very everything to have. So I wouldn't say Hazard's career was failure by any means, although at international level the infamous "Golden Era" performed very awfully and despite the stacked talents, there was nothing to show for it. Hazard is also just accepting the reality and knowing, it's time to make the most of the final few years that is left of career, bar the wages conditions, I'll say is decent enough a talent to thrive a mid-class European clubs, just like Angel Di Maria recently moving to Benfica, in the Portuguese league, Hazard would still be an great addition to such caliber of teams with some sort of presence at Uefa competitions, but his wages range isn't something I believe these clubs can afford. |

That being said, I'm 9/8 on basketball 1st half overs picks since last week, and I got some big money from the U19 championship. I cannot wait for the NBA season to begin.
I know good you are with risk analysis and your stuffs too, but NBA should considered as the 2nd devils sport right after Tennis (as regarded by Nigeria Gambling Twitter), I'm sure your perspective will change in the regular season, because the summer league is a completely different ball game my bro! It's a completely different ball game entirely. Nope, nothing would change. Last season, I got my first seven-figure payoff from NBA picks. Nigeria gambling Twitter players have been sucking millions and millions from NBA, tennis, and baseball; these are the most popular sports betting in Nigeria now, and football picks is on its way out; the odds are not worth the risk, unlike NBA and other stuffs. Most bookies with NBA lowerlines do not allowed Nigerians anymore, those guys wreck alot of bookies last season.  Yes, football is the becoming the most worthless sport to bet on due the low odds that doesn't get justified by the chances of occurrence, even the over and under are becoming the same thing, you can't comfortably have Barcelona, Bayern, Man City, Liverpool, Real Madrid and PSG on Over 2.5 as a parlay for each of the 38 game weeks and expect to win between 30-50% of the time, while they are the team that are expected to be score a lot weekly and the chances that you'll get up to 10 Odds for this selection is also going to be quite low. |

Someone tell me about Tour de France how to see? They have GRAND standings and also winner of each race. Is it points system for wins or just total time taken?
it is total time, so what you make in one round/race/stage whatever you called it and Vingegaard took the lead in front of Pogacar today, although Pogacar won this stage, mid-mountain stages usually decide whole race (and some mountain as well), and they are both good in mountain stages, not sprinters Ruud is out, my bet was on Medvedev not to reach his best Wimbledon score so far, 4 round, but Ruud happens to blow first Rybakina is also close to be out, on medical time-out, although she lead at the moment edit: she survived, but questionable can she do another win, after knee injury If I'm not mistaken didn't Cornet suffer the injury? Yes, it was Cornet that suffered the injury not Rybakina and her round 3 would be against Boulter, so she should be able continue with her streak and get a win again, and that could also be her last game for the week which would mean just Iga Swiatek left to look out for. Swiatek plays her 3 round tomorrow, although against a tough opponent Martic Petra world No. 30, Swiatek should get her own job done first then I can fully root for Rybakina to do hers too. |

3-0 is the default 'forfeit' result in football, that's why that one was implemented. We can think it over, but I really hope it won't be necessary. I hope it won't even be needed at all for this season, so there is no complicated issue needing you guys to make an uneasy decision.
Is anyone else watching the World no 4 getting RUUD out of Wimbledon by the No. 143 ranked Broady ? 6-0 in the 5th set, there goes the biggest upset so far in this tournament, and for everyone who went for No in the 4th question have their answers already  That being said, I'm 9/8 on basketball 1st half overs picks since last week, and I got some big money from the U19 championship. I cannot wait for the NBA season to begin.

Maybe England might really pull this off and lift the trophy, but It's not just as going to be an easy stretch and I don't know who even the bookies would have as favorite here
England @ 2.65 is the bookies favorite to win the final. That's just as I expected, that is for England to be the favorites even if slightly, but with the odds for a potential draw being involved, this is more like 50/50 odd for the bookies, upon checking on the Flashscore average bookies odds, Spain is the slight favorite now @ 2.75, while England to win is valued at @ 2.77, with a 3.46 Odds for stalemate. I might end up chasing the Odds for the draw, that seem like the most valuable of all 3 options so far imo, except I get extra insight or let's call gutsy inspiration to go with just either of them to win. We hope that we won't have to take that route, although even that would be more fair than this 'case per case' stuff that we are trying to keep in place just so that the penalties aren't too big for being a bit late.
I don't know about the others, but I absolutely wouldn't mind if you decide to set up a rule where being late to submit answers equals to losing the round (for example you can set up beng an instant 3-0 loss like in football). I think that we are all given more than enough time to answer those questions, and those who are willing to wait until last moment for a slight benefit will have to accept the risk as well. I think this have been discussed at some point on this thread before, but what I might not really like is it just been a 3-0, and 3 points too, I proposed 3 points, but just 1+ goal difference for the user getting the 3 points, because the points difference might end up being a very significant factor here by the end of the season, because the score line difference are often very marginal, for example there is just 3 goal difference between myself at 5th position and CLS63 at the top of the table, while he has 5 points advantage over me, so the 3+ SF might be quite a stretch in the threshold of having an unfair advantage, after getting 3 points which already isn't fair to other participants, while I understand that if the user that submitted their pick score is counted against a user that all their answers are void, it could be a lot more than the proposed +3 SF, I just think we should also be conscious about finding an even ground for other participants too, if such a change is to be implemented. |

and after almost having us relegated last season, Frank Lampard is close to be back in Everton
he could not succeed as manager, but as Sean Dyche is no magnet for any player, and Everton can't even sign Gyokeres from Coventry, not to mention any better, Lampard will be back as transfer lead, since players obviously like him, and have trust in him
unbelievable, but almost truth, waiting to see what will happen
This is a huge mistake. If this story is true, Everton were on the verge of relegation last season due to the state and level in which Lampard left the club. Everton are not a serious club if they are considering bringing Lampard back to further harm the team. Graham Potter would be an excellent pick for team development. It could be that Premier league is a very tough environment to start your coaching career from, but I really don't rate him as bad as almost all Chelsea fans hate Lampard as a coach, and in my strongest opinion, I think Lampard is actually a good manager if you ask me, but the relationship between the Chelsea board and these managers is often toxic and affects the players mentality at large too, still, that's the status quo at Chelsea, getting new players for a coach that hasn't taken over yet, and the coach comes want's them out which often leads to several media rumour. It's better much better now that Chelsea are on a selling spree mode, because the squad was just too large for no apparent relevance than just some white guy thinks that football is NBA or American Football that he can use money to get just every trending Tom, Dick and Harry to the club. Pochettino too might obviously be an upgraded tf Lampard, I won't disgree with that, but Pochettino doesn't sit with me like a coach that will always have that hunger for excellence or create identity for his team, he did a fantastic job with Tottenham to be honest, but Tottenham goal for every new season won't not be same thing that will be required off Pochettinno by Chelsea, I'll be surprised if he remain has Chelsea's manager until the end of season, but let's us see how it will go! |

What a riot from the Spain U21 team, 5-1 from being a goal down, I'm sure a couple of us with England to win the tournament would be having a rethink right now.
I actually chose Spain at first and then switched back to England; this is going to be an exciting final to watch, but I'm confident that the English youth team will add another trophy to their cabinet; this question means nothing to me because I and my opponent chose the same thing; I'm just looking forward to the F1 and cricket questions. Maybe England might really pull this off and lift the trophy, but It's not just as going to be an easy strectch and I don't know who even the bookies would have as favorite here, it's just that Spanish side does have really good individual talents that are a bell-ringing name in Europe as well, I understand why and how much we know about the English players because of the clubs they are playing for and the porpulaty that sorrounds them, but writing them off could be a very huge mistake, I'll surely have something on the line for the game, because it is indeed going to be an interesting game, clash of the young titans. |

England is first finalist, win over Isreal 3:0, rather expected to see that, and they haven't conceived so far on the tournament
Spain is playing Ukraine, odds are rising on their win, thinking about putting a bet on them, should odds reach @2, probably live
Ukraine is a good team obviously, but Spain is good at all age competitions, and will probably set stage for final with England
Really proud of my betting picks today. First I got correct all 4 DOTA games which was badly needed to boost my betting bank.  Then I made a stupid call and lost half on WTA side of the Wimbledon, not touching that one again. Really unpredictable but used that as inspiration to go for solid favorites tonight. Spain-Ukraine was both to score for me since the moment I have seen the fixture:  Damn mate! That's some huge winnings especially with the number and type of events available for gamblers currently, Congratulations! this winnings should disqualify you from this week freebet competition, and a couple of beers should be on you for the user with the most points for this week across all divisions together Congratulations mate!

I just submitted, I did it mostly on statistics but I do feel some of my picks will be different than the crowd's general direction. I really wanted to go with Ukraine against Spain in the Euro U-21's but eventually went with Spain. Let's see how it goes, eh? I must say I pretty much agree with you on the Ukrainian U21 side over Spain's, but I just had to follow logic over my guts this time, that's why I had England to win the final instead of Spain, because I'd rather err on the side of caution, should Spain to f**k everyone over as they often do. England have the over Israel in what is expected to already be a one sided affair, However, It's just a lone goal difference, with Morgan Gibbs-White making up for missing a penalty earlier into the game, just a few minutes before halftime. |

I went with them, I consider them as favorites here. Not sure how common draws are in cricket though They did a few shocks yeah so I hope they can beat Scotland. Draws seem to always be around 8/1 when I check, something like Bacarrat heh. The question is which two teams will make it to the final of qualifiers and who will win it? Provide your answer in the following form: Sri Lanka, Scotland - Sri Lanka. This is a H2H question." So my brain probably stopped functioning at the 6 teams are left and only 2 of them will make it to the World cup.
So yeah, 2 teams go to World Cup, but they will also play in a final to decide who goes... to some other competition. Don't remember what it was but this is apparently a new format, so there were 2 competitions to qualify for from this qualifier. Still can't believe I waited to submit. Then clicked submit when I was ready, without actually changing my picks. Def brain stopped functioning heh heh Fortunately for me my opponent, had I one of the finalist wrong, so I hope Sri Lanka doesn't win the finals so I can still the H2H question over my opponent, because he Sri Lanka to win and if that happens, I'll have to settle for nothing but a draw. We are live back at Wimbledon and am I the only who is now actually finding Tennis as a very interesting sport to watch, it barely gets boring regardless of the match ups, compared, to 1.01 heavy favorite match up. |

- we will have qualifying round first. Top 12 players from Div 1 are free
-snip
Schedule for qualifying round will come tomorrow probably.
So this is based on the current standings? I thought it will be based of the next standings but oh well guess I'll be going through the qualifying round. Pretty rough start from me because of my bad standings so far It might be for the greater good right now, with you saying you're having a rough start, If I were in the same state I'd rather the top 12 from Division 1 are free for the first round than me stand a chance of facing any of them at this early stage, 3 of them are still unbeaten while a couple of us, aren't doing so well down the mid table of the first 12.
Rain Delay is going to rob us from getting some early actions from Wimbledon today. |

Yeah, I also like to see how Ukraine is played, but decided to go with logic, rather than emotions and picked Spain.
common sense is to put Spain, I have put England on likeability, they were winning all without conceiving goal, but overall Spain is favorite in potential finals too will be an interesting round, a lot could be resolved during the week, especially in my duel with darxiomi where we have different answers on all YES/NO questions my boy Norrie won first match, but I don't think he will see second week on tournament, except from audience Is Norrie's second game schedule for the second week, because the Norrie's questions involves him winning his first two games, not reaching the second week like it was asked for top four 4 seeds, perhaps, your statement isn't related to the question asked, but just your making point, right ? I put Sri Lanka and Scotland, without even knowing the games was scheduled for today, but unfortunately for me, I didn't put who will win the finals, it still has everything to do with me reading the questions or interpreting it wrongly, and maybe not understanding the sport well enough to know there will still be a final between them, because these are the two teams that said is left to make it the world cup because question go thus "7. Cricket World cup qualifiers are going on, 6 teams are left in qualifiers and 2 will make it to the World cup later this year in India. The question is which two teams will make it to the final of qualifiers and who will win it? Provide your answer in the following form: Sri Lanka, Scotland - Sri Lanka. This is a H2H question." So my brain probably stopped functioning at the 6 teams are left and only 2 of them will make it to the World cup. |

I like new sports, never heard of the names or even understand the cycling but it's a great famous sports, well done Cro2!
Cricket too lol you guys must have been seriously busy breaking brains!
can't complain, asked for cycling, got it there it is really tough week looking at question comments, and would need a bit more time to answer it tomorrow cricket is probably a no-zone for all participants Aside from the cricket being my most hated sport, I still think about 8 of the questions looks quite easy to make a decision, there are certain cons that could it go from making the all No answers answers being a Yes outcome with very small unfortunate circumstances the reason for making go side ways. For the cricket, I'm probably worse player that have no clue about that sport, although I've played in a paid cricket pool here before but I have zero clue about how the scoring is being counted or any other of it's rules of playing it. |

Damn!
The draw still feel pretty much like a loss to me because, just snooping around this thread before submitting my pick would have totally change the outcome, but there's no point crying over spilled milk, finding out all possible info be any means necessary is part of the requirements of the competition.
Now, it's time to move on to the next round, which is playing against a very tough opponent in mitchr4 for the next round, I'm waiting for the questions already.
