I totally agree with you guys on the Butler topic. He is really inadequate on the offensive side in this series which can lead Heat to lose easier than most of us expect. Butler needs to be more active with his steal attempts and scoring many more points than this at the same time. He has been the main factor in Heat's reaching this round in the playoff stage in the first place.
As you know Heat finished the regular season in 7th place in the Eastern Conference. As a result not many people including me were giving them a chance to have a run like this. Butler has done the biggest work in this time period by scoring a lot of points and carrying his team. He has become like Lakers' Lebron or Warriors' Curry.
Therefore Butler needs to be aware of the seriousness of the situation and do something. It's definitely a gameover If Denver Nuggets should win this game 4, which I think they will unless Jimmy Butler choses to either step up today or sit out, and I really don't know when next he get a shot at winning a championship, should the Heat win the Championship this it's pretty obvious whose name would make the most story and it's that of Butler's over everyone else on the Heat roster, he's stated really with the Bucks and Celtics, but all that would have count for nothing if he folds now! What NBA story could possible better than the 8th seeded team and with the most undrafted playing winning a championship while beating the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th best teams of the regular season enroute to the victory, and that'll make Jimmy go down as the first to have done it, I know they're some many record that have been broken this season and post alone by various teams or individual, but there is still a few more that could get broken too. |

I hope Lautaro Martinez can steal the trophy from Guardiola's hands by managing to show an extra performance in the final match. As the final match is in my city, Istanbul I tried very much to buy a ticket but unfortunately I couldn't. It will be a disappointment for me to watch a Champions League finale to be played in Istanbul on television. You probably didn't pay attention to it or who would make it to the finals, If you had known you would have gotten the ticket as early as you knew the match was going to take place in your city. I can only imagine what kind of experience it would have been for you see the game live, I mean crowd and the number of superstars you'd get to watch live all for the price of just a ticket, It must indeed be hurtful to have missed out on the ticket. The ticket was sold out two days ago, on the 7th, and if he was serious about getting it, he would have bought one; it's been almost a month since the ticket was available for purchase, and the cheapest one was roughly £61, while the most expensive one was £599. I can't ever imagine missing such a major game in City. A great opportunity to keep a close eye on some of your favourites. Some memories last a lifetime, and the CL and World Cup finals are among them. It would seem that easy bro, on paper at least or officially, only 47,200 tickets were available to the entire public and each team in the finals gets 20,000 tickets each, leaving the rest of the neutral fans over the world with 7,200 tickets, how long do you think it would have lasted before being sold out, or the chance of getting one from millions of applications and how much do you think it would cost on the black market, most tickets are often gotten through black markets or third party websites and would cost almost 10x if not more than they would according to the official prizes bro. Tickets specifically for supporters of the two finalists are generally distributed by the clubs themselves. The identities of those two teams will be confirmed on May 16, when the semi-finals conclude.
The 2023 Champions League final tickets was on general sale in April 2023, and ticket applications were closed by UEFA on April 28. Successful applicants will be notified by email soon.
A total of 47,200 tickets out of 72,000 are made available directly for fans and the general public. The two finalists are allocated 20,000 each.
Champions League final tickets have already begun to appear on resale sites such as StubHub, with prices starting at just under €2,000. |

Is there some other scoring system other than 3 points for a exact score, 1.5 for a close score, and 1 for a simple score? This can be interesting as it is possible that with a different scoring system, other guessing strategies will be more profitable.
It's possible that using multiple sites isn't that hard, but it seems to me that the chances of forgetting to make a forecast on time are higher than using one platform that constantly sends you notifications. Will see.
There are a number of options like Kicktipp which was used for the Bundesliga pool this season, it has an entirely different scoring system, but then I wouldn't want the current pool to be transitioned into another platform, I like how the current pools are split into different platforms for now, and I'll like to leave it that way to keep everything separated, to make the competition more worth while being spread across a couple platforms it helps have some level of fairness to people who would prefer this over that and are participants of major pools. |

Damn it! I see that I have put Đoković and Alcaraz to fight in the finals in the Q9. I found this odd when I last checked because these two were on the same branch and were never going to meet in the final, but sh*t happens. But for you to survive this one is if Djokovic comes up with an upset using some old tricks that come with experience of the game as his still rusty but still a threat. This is for sure is an upset according to bookies and the seedings, but the scores and score line suggest completely otherwise, Alcaraz was completely neutralize, I mean losing 6-3, 6-1, 6-1 from just for 4 sets of play is way short of the expectations of the match, especially if Djokovic is to be returned as the winner of the match up, he showed us how much of a veteran he still is, can either Rude vs Zverev stop him now, I guess not! |

I think the Denver Nuggets will win the next game.
I have the same thoughts Nuggets win but with a closer winning margin. If we want to be on the safer side and get good betting odds, I think live betting is the answer. Assuming that the game is a close contest, the Miami Heat are expected to have a strong start, which will make the Nuggets' odds quite attractive. Currently, the Nuggets are -3.5 with 1.90 odds. If the concept of a "safe side" truly existed, sports betting would indeed be much easier. However, there are always unpredictable scenarios that can occur in sports. Another possible scenario is if the Nuggets dominate the Heat right from the beginning of the game. In such a case, we would lose the opportunity to win because, honestly, the current spread is not difficult for the Nuggets to cover, especially if they are the ones controlling the game's tempo. What the Heat really need is for Jimmy Butler to perform at his best, just like he did when the Heat played against the Bucks. His playoff performance can significantly impact the team's chances of success. Denver didn't dominate the last game from the beginning of the game, but Denver Nuggets got the better edge when Kelvin Love went to the bench and was not properly introduced back into the game, and Gabe Vincent getting foul issues too, but if these factors were eliminated it would have been a much closer game than this. Jimmy Butler was just as terrible as you could have imagine and don't let the numbers lie to you, he was awful and play more like coward that isn't built for a NBA finals, zero assists and 2 rebound from a player that's supposed to be the tea leader, minimal fouls drawn while very careless and sloppy with the ball, and unlike him his counterpart Jamal Murray stepped up big time and complimented Jokic and he didn't need to do it alone, I would say a couple of Butler's team had a rough night especially Gabe Vincent with those cheap and awful foul calls, but Jimmy Butler was also not a leader enough to inspire his team imo, he looked really carried away.
My take, Jimmy Butler focused too much on the offensive attack, he had not been gaining steals anymore unlike how he did it against the Celtics where his numbers on the defensive end are way high that it's unbelievable. In the series against the Celtics, he gained a total of 18 steals and 3 blocks in 7 games. Now, it's Game 3 against the Denver Nuggets and he only gained 1 steal and 2 blocks. That's not the Jimmy Butler that I knew. Maybe all the bashing against him affected him mentally and he forgot how balanced he is on both ends of the floor. He is defending Jamal Murray all the time and yet Jamal scored 34 points and better, with 10 assists and 10 rebounds. I don't want to put the blame on him but as I said in my previous posts, when Jimmy plays better, the whole team is sucked into that portal and everyone will do the same. But he must also do it on the defensive end. Maybe Butler focused more on the defensive duties, but he sucked at that in game 3 and one could have known from the very first quarter, but being Miami Heat's most dynamic shooter, he should focus on outscoring the Denver Nuggets to win a because there is no absolutely way to stop the Jokic and Jamal Murray duo partnership on the court, but an aggressive Jimmy Butler can easily draw fouls against if not Jokic, but Jamal Murray and force the Nuggets into an unintended rotation. |

I got a 1mbtc freebet in my account I assume this was the final BSFL reward? Thank you jeremypwr and Sportsbet again. It was all I could get for relegation lol. Perhaps it wasn't for the BSFL, IIRC BSFL weekly payments rewards and other prizes apart from the main prizes were paid in USDT, but I stand to be corrected if I'm wrong. It's highly likely that the 1 mBtc reward you got is for being joint yellow cap winner for the final round in the Serie A, I guess you weren't even aware that you were a yellow cap round winners as well, were you ? That's how transparent any CRO2 team organize pools, you even don't get to remind them of any for these prizes. |

then a Jamal Murray PRA 36.5 @ 1.86 on local Sportbook, but If I'm able to get a similar result from the players like they did in the first half, I should have a very decent amount of winnings. 🤞
Nice job! Murray had an outstanding game today and was able to showcase his MVP-level performance. He scored 34 points, recorded 10 assists, and grabbed 10 rebounds. That kind of performance is truly deserving of the MVP title, and it resulted in an easy win for his team. Congratulations on the victory! Jimmy Butler was just as terrible as you could have imagine and don't let the numbers lie to you, he was awful and play more like coward that isn't built for a NBA finals, zero assists and 2 rebound from a player that's supposed to be the tea leader, minimal fouls drawn while very careless and sloppy with the ball, and unlike him his counterpart Jamal Murray stepped up big time and complimented Jokic and he didn't need to do it alone, I would say a couple of Butler's team had a rough night especially Gabe Vincent with those cheap and awful foul calls, but Jimmy Butler was also not a leader enough to inspire his team imo, he looked really carried away. |

∆ N. Jokic Over 50.5 PRA @1.90 ∆ Jokic had 51+ PRA in both games v. Miami and 9/L10 in the postseason. With him at least, i know what i'm getting and don't have to worry about my guy going 0/9 from 3pt or having a terrible day like with Strus or MPJ. Jokic has been Denver's best/most consistent player...so i guess i'm rolling with him today. Looking pretty solid a bet so far at halftime Jokic having 14 + 12 + 7 after the first 24 minutes, 20 PRA for 2nd half should be a really easy reach for the only con could be those two fouls he's got, if he's able to stay off foul troubles, then it should be a bang hit.
I don't have any singles bet on the just my usual multiple props betbuilder on SB, then a Jamal Murray PRA 36.5 @ 1.86 on local Sportbook, but If I'm able to get a similar result from the players like they did in the first half, I should have a very decent amount of winnings. 🤞 |

Anyone watched Europa Conference League final? It was a great night in Prague tonight for West Ham as they scored a winning goal in last minutes of the match against Fiorentina. English teams are usually better than Italian in European competitions and with that logic Manchester City should easily win against Inter right?  I wouldn't say it would be an easy game for Man City, especially due to Inter Milan style and approach to football, but that's something you'd expect Guardiola to have done his due diligence on. The Uefa Conference final was quite an amazing match from the beginning to end with both teams very attack minded, It was pretty much an even game in my opinion, but I was right to have gone with West Ham in the thanks to Jared Bowen with late into game master class goal. Elsewhere in the tennis game with Casper Ruud with a 3 - 1 win over Rune, makes the semi finalists as follows; Djokovic v Alcaraz, Zverev v Ruud. That been said, I think those 2 results gives me a great advantage for the first week ahead of my opponent, so I'm more of looking forward to game week 2 already  |

I'm definitely in business. Next season I will probably even participate in random leagues (like Ligue 1 or Bundesliga).
we actually do not have Ligue 1 pool but it would be too much, I am almost regular in all pools, and this season proved that it is too much, when counting Fantasy as well but for La Liga I am here for sure, it is a my favorite league probably, and until this season, one with best results so far, have to bring back some good incentives on results If there happen to be a Ligue 1 pool for the upcoming season, I'm definitely going to be in for it, all things considered, I believe it only broadens my knowledge and awareness about this leagues too, It was definitely a handful of task to behold last season participating in all those pools and the kind of awareness and strategy that is required of FPL was the most draining not going to lie, but it was always fun down the stretch, but extremely strenuous if don't do the picks in advance and just review later, I mean spending the whole of Fridays doing those or Thursdays, if you've got Friday fixtures, this is a much needed break to be honest. |

Those who are expecting to see Herro, here's some news for ya all.
At least everything is clear now, but there haven't been any changes in the betting spread. Most popular sportsbooks still have Miami at +2.5. The spread is relatively low, which shows the respect the bookies have for the Heat. When some thought the Heat would be swept, they managed to steal a game on the road. As a result, there are now bettors who believe the Heat will surprise everyone again.
Regardless, both teams had already made history I believe. Even if Tyler Herro was supposedly to be cleared for the game 3, I think bringing him into the roster in such a rush would appear as desperate measure for the and would definitely alter the team's chemistry, imo Herro would fit in more like Trojan horse down the stretch of the series, he should be introduced into the series as an alternative measure that the Denver Nuggets wouldn't have accounted in their adjustments and what have you. |

Honestly if Murray never blew out his knee they would have been top contenders for the last couple of years. The heat have been the most underrated team the last couple of years. They look terrible during the season then turn it on in the playoffs. They have no superstars (yeah I'm not buying Jimmy is a superstar) but are the epitome of a full team. Denver is set to win unless Miami can stay hot from beyond 3. If they aren't a 3 point threat it will be tough for them to spread the floor. I understand they're quite very underrated a lot especially in the regular season despite their impressive record, that's 3rd best record in the regular season, but it was just the same thing that happened to Golden State Warriors when Klay Thompson was also out injured for that long spell and the Warriors struggled a whole lot, but it took them less than 2 years after Thompson became very fit to claim another championship, I really do respect this Denver Nuggets team, because Jokic makes them a every dynamic team, he's actually the main reason they look terrific, If you double/triple team him he makes top quality passes with relative ease, having good shooters wide open and when you don't close in on him quick enough he's also able to shoot table in a terrific whether mid range or from behind the arc, he's also a monster in the paint. So, stopping Jokic would be the only way to first limit the Denver Nuggets, and that's almost an impossible task to handle. |

Will we continue on Kicktipp again next season or do you think of changing to Superbru?
After my first year using Kicktipp, I would say it's not that bad at all and it's very light compared to SuperBRU that's lags quite a lot... If there will be another season, I don't season a reason why we shouldn't stick to Kicktipp. Just my opinion, but the lack of consistent response or is going incommunicado by the Sponsor from the forum and its representative here very often the right word to use in this context, is what is likely going to mar the interest for the upcoming season. |

The Serie A pool was really my worst performing pool this season. Especially in the first half of the league I couldn't predict Napoli to show this good performance. Congratulations to all prize winners. I hope I can also finish in the prize area next season.
Thank you very much! Payment received! Once again, congratulations to all the winners and hope to see you all next year! Just to echo @icopress's statement. I've received the prize and it's worth the while for me, due to the nature of the competition and Saint-loup dominant personality in almost pools, being able edge him to the first position in the final moment was the highlight for me. It's as though Saint-loup took the every pool as a fulltime job this season, he took it very personally this season |

The hideous twins....   LOL! Ain't that just about right, it's actually funny how our paths just can't seem to be parallel, I just hope you're not my opponent when I decide to run for president of the country.
Damn! I'm playing against LTU_BTC, whom I know is very though opponent, but I just gave him an extra advantage by not answering the NBA questions about Jokic completely, I omitted the FG% option.  |
