Well now I don't know which way to go for game 3.  Literally zero clue or feeling of what will happen.  I think I'm just going to bow out and enjoy the rest of the series.  Might throw some on jokic props because no one can stop that dude.  Crazy game.

I didn't expect Denver Nuggets to still be the bookies favorites for game 3, but as things currently stands, they're the favorites as per the bookies, I'll expect multiple rotations and changes to both rosters, so I really can't also pick a side too, as the game 2 went both ways and both teams had significant lead they could both bank on to win the game, so I would agree your assertion of not being able to pick one side, as for I'd just stick to my player props and settle for perhaps medium lines with decent chances according to my risk analysis and enjoy the game.


However, I would still give the Nuggets the edge here if I were to pick a side because they've a better performing bench players compared to the Miami Heat, aside from the veteran maestro Kyle Lowry who heavily impact these games despite is high minutes restriction.

Miami Heat just proved again that eliminated the first top seeded teams in the Eastern Conference and those two teams also being the teams with best record for the regular season,  I mean Milwaukee Buck and the Boston Celtics wasn't a fluke, they were just that good and deserved their winning.

They were a completely different team today, but then even though being unable to stop Nikola Jokic completely they did a huge load of work to restrict he's general impact, Kelvin Love was an influential addition to the line up, he did lift some duty off Bam Adebayo's shoulder and Bam was just as impressive as he was in the first game, Gabe Vincent continuing to join Bam in race to be a potential MVP candidate (IMO), while Max Struss was also able to find some rhythm for himself early into the game too.

And finally for me, I got to hit a betbuilder on some Player Props and lines, it's been a while for me to be honest, there have always been one sucker that doesn't get to play the entire usually minute either due to foul or a blowout scenario, it was a close call tonight too because Jokic almost fell short off the 11th rebound.

Top 5 as it stands.

Harkorede came back strong in the final round to clinch first place. Congrats on the win! In the three Serie A editions of this pool, we've got three different winners.

It was great fun playing with you all! Many thanks to Trofo for making this pool happen, as well as to our generous sponsor, Sportsbet.io

----

Spezia and Verona will get their playoff after all, late drama in Rome.

Bologna with that late winner could get to play in Europe next season, that's of course if Fiorentina wins the Confs. League and Juventus gets a one-year ban from UEFA.  Grin

Crazy stuff buddy!

I'm not gonna lie, I didn't expect such a come back, and to be very honest, I had the slightest changes that resulted to me claiming the first position, I changed Napoli to from 3-0, to 2-0 and Roma from 2-0 to 2-1, and that extra 3 points is all that end counted towards my victory, and funny enough I've watched Serie A match the least compared to La Liga and Bundesliga this season.

It's been one hell of a ride with you all genius sport freaks  Wink

the calculation is very simple. you have 2 matchday wins (day #28 and #31) and bullrun2020bro could get the most points on matchday #27 and #31. but the difference is that bullrun2020bro was the only winner on day #27 and didn't have to share the matchday win with other participants, like in your and bro's case on day #31.

In addition to that, if you check the scored points on these match day wins. I won mine with 22 points, while you scored 12 on yours (and tied also!). The other one we both did 14 points.



Source: Kicktipp

If the points had been equal, Kicktipp would have automatically put us both in first place, but for obvious reasons that was not the case.

Yeah, that's exactly the points and it's been stated on kicktipp rule that there are several criteria that defines who gets the advantage when there is a tie in cases such as this, I noticed over the course of the season that there are times the kicktipp have multiple users with the same position number and others take the next available position in such a case that there be 4 users positioned number 4, and after that the next user is regarded as number 8th.

So in this case you have clearly interpreted it wrongly, and the edge bullrun have over you is indeed the "W" rating, so if we had to use kicktipp for the season and followed their grading system, we must adhere to every of their decision in the end too, because as the saying goes, in for a penny, in for a pound.

^^  Serie A has a new/old rule regarding relegation teams, specifically 17th and 18th. If both Verona and Spezia finish with 31 points (which seems likely), there will be a one-off match played at a neutral location. H2H, score difference does not matter. A playoff to determine who stays up and who gets relegated. I kinda root for that to happen...

I'd also love for that to happen, and I must confess I have never been aware of this up until this post of yours, this a relegation battle I'd fancy over the Bundesliga-esque promoted team vs relegated team offs to see who stays or who get promoted / relegated in the league.



So much for my bets today, I had a parlay on all the matches for this round on Over 2.5 goals, but it's as though they've all decided to go the other way round, and all just want to go for their summer holidays already.

Well, not the best of starts for United Grin

City to do a treble this season? Seems quite likely right now.
Not even the best start for both clubs. Manchester City's performance has reduces drastically. They are not playing in the manner of Manchester City I once knew. I'm not sure if it's because their key players have been on the bench(not playing in their last 2 matches) in preparation for FA Cup and the champions league finals. Manchester City may win the triple crown this year, but they shouldn't utilize the same strategy they employed while playing Manchester United to defeat Inter in the champions league finals. If not, Inter might defeat them and win the Champions League.

Right now, Manchester City has a 2-1 victory. Six minutes into the second half (51 minutes), Gundogan once again netted the second goal with a left-footed shot.

It's well deserved win for Manchester City and not too bad a final match, intense for majority of the time, but then what a way to end your last season with a club for Ilkay Gundogan, he's been an absolute menace for Man City in these pass few weeks, and a very important piece for this Man City side.

On the game itself, I would say a couple of injuries might limited Man United and Rashford to be in good shape too, but then Garnacho really should started the game, I really don't care how young he his, but he's got the talent to take on City defenders which he did conveniently after being subbed in, aside, I however believe that the penalty against City was a really harsh one to say the least, in a match as sensitive as this the referee shouldn't have made such call but then in the end it is what it is, so it's 2 down and one 1 to go, a win in the CL final should be an icing on the cake of Guardiola's legacy as a Man City coach.

Regarding Boxing and MMA - there was 1 question. We'd like to put more, but never know what are big events because there are simply too many.
You can help us with this - just let us know when something really important is happening there and we'll try to fit it in the questions.

I think you can draw a conclusion from @jeremypwr threads too, but those just do come some later than the question deadline, but he often post the big MMA or Boxing matches.

About "esports", I think the Oxford definition for sports must change also to fit in esports and chess and whatever other "Games" who want to be classified as sports":

activity that you do for pleasure and that needs physical effort or skill, usually done in a special area and according to fixed rules

My friends argue you need physical skill and effort to tap a keyboard, and to press the timer for chess, so I guess it counts Tongue

Yeah you do need a physical skill, for football it's not just about physicality being a player like Ronaldo, Messi and Neymar require a high football IQ which in my opinion psychological, while eSport other than pressing the keyboard require a vast IQ level to be able to compete at the high level of IQ as well.

I did believe that Heat actually have a chance but after first game...Denver are really a class above them in this series and on Sunday night , I think the score will be 2-0 but I do see Heat taking at least 2 games until the end.

Also, if somehow Jokic will be guarded which is almost impossible and Murray won't have a big day , Heat might get this to game 7 and that would boom the odds all over again  Grin Grin

I might have a slight different perspective to the game generally, The Nuggets were the better team obviously, individually and collectively as team, but It wasn't the Denver Nuggets defense that kept the Miami Heat at bay, but rather a really poor shooting night, while The Heat might have been force to take a number 3s, the missed way too much of them and even open mid range jump shots, Max Struss 0/9, Caleb Martin 1/7 and Jimmy Butler with only 14 shot attempts showed how disoriented the Miami Heat really were, The attempted at least 17 more shots than the Nugget and at least 12 more 3s too, but had only 2 FT attempt, that showed how unaggressive the Heat also were, they'll need to take the game to Denver aggressive and not just settle for the most open shots but rather the most likely to score ones instead.

What does this have to do with crypto?

It's got nothing to do with crypto but everything to do with sports streaming and as such is gambling related.

The site was the easiest way to get to stream all sort of football for, although considered illegal, that's about the 3rd streaming site I've witnessed FBI take down, and according to the some news I read earlier yesterday the owner(s) of the website was said to have been sentenced to a 30 years imprisonment, I'll update my post with the link If I'm able to remember,.

It's quite the same that happened to the all-sport streaming site score808.com, a few months back, FBI are taking it any lightly with these streaming, we might soon run out of options of where to get some live events.

One more suggestion is to create bonus points for people who send answers earlier, that would be positive incentive instead of punishing people who post questions late.
Some people are waiting last moments to submit questions because they are waiting to see injured players and news, that is why people who send answers first should be rewarded.

I think it is essentially part of the game and that really makes it different when someone is actually trying to play to win compared to someone that play for fun. If there is actually extra merit on submitting early then everyone would submit in early which is kinda weird. I dont think its fair to 'punish' someone that done their fair share of research then submit answers in the last minute.

Yeah, I don't think there should be any punishment for those who submit right before the deadline, so far it's even just a second before the deadline, neither should there be a reward for submitting a early the essence of the 48 hours is do proper research and submitting early might eliminate a lot of information which in the end basically just gives some free point/advantage that is not so different from submitting late as well.

I believe it's best not to overcomplicate things and just go with usual rule of deadlines as it works in all the sports betting we are accustomed too, you don't get any advantage for submitted your predictions early and even in FPL making a transfer way too early could even be detrimental to your team.

After waiting for the line up, I settled for a 3-players props parlay, Caleb Martin Over 14.5 Points + Kyle Lowry Over 3.5 Assists and Nikola Jokic Over 13.5 Rebounds at 7.08

https://prnt.sc/59jQsViFaZKW

Caleb Martin have been red hot for the Heat from their conference and I expect the confidence shouldn't drop tonight, Kyle Lowry off the bench have been very inspirational for Heat too and his experience in the finals would need for Heat here, 4 dimes shouldn't be more off an issue, Jokic have been very dominated off the board in the playoffs and if Miami Heat have let guys like Tatum afford double digits rebound almost all the 7 games of the conference finals, 14 board should be an easy reach for the Joker.

GL everyone.

Looks like Serie A or Lega Calcio has decided to deprive us of the full final game day drama, like Bundesliga and the EPL did last weekend, I know there are are quite a number slots and position stil not decided yet, and the most fun part of the day to be watching a getting all results simultaneously, from being nervous to being very hope and how the standings in the pool could fluctuate from kickoff to the final whistle is some kind feeling that doesn't come by so often, so I really would have preferred all the games being played at the same time.

I wonder what the odds would have been for the likes of Brighton, Aston Villa, Newcastle and Man United to finish well above both teams that we picked, who could have seen that coming huh ?

I literally should have back Arsenal, but I didn't see Chelsea sacking Thomas Tuchel that early into the season, so it's all good, let's look forward to next season.

There was a certain hype around Newcastle (although they had a rather modest line-up), so I don't think that their success surprised anyone much.
As for next season, I don't even know what to expect - there are so many contenders for the top lines that I just can't even think of a "logical" order of teams for how next season should end so that everyone takes "their place" and no one is shocked. Anyone can do it?

I don't completely agree with you about Newcastle, the main narrative most people had was that they have rich owners and a blank cheque, but we were still looking to them to make those huge signings before they can be this good, but they made a couple of transfers but those transfers didn't bring them here because Isak for instance after his first game when he was signed for the got injured and played for just the latter part of the season iirc, I believe that most people, at least myself was expecting the transition to happen over a period or 2-3 years, but Eddie Howe did a pretty solid job and I can agree money is the part of the motivation for the players in general too.

play-off match is underway between Stuttgart and HSV, two prominent teams in Bundesliga decades ago, but now fighting for next season
Stuttgart leads from first minute, missed penalty, but one cannot say that they are better than HSV, and it could end up different, as well as there is re-match in Hamburg

would be nice to see HSV again in Bundesliga


Left to me, I would say HSV would have to try again next season, or at least overcome an almost impossible 3 goals deficit over Stuttgart in the second leg of the tie, coming in to this game, Stuttgart were the favorites but a 3-0 advantage isn't what they'll have expected but since it's come their way, one thing I'm sure about is that regardless where the second leg would take place, the advantage is not going to be thrown away.


That said, I hate this archaic Bundesliga style of 3 placed relegation team playing against 3 best team in the Bundesliga 2 to decide who gets promoted or who retains their spot in the top flight division, finish 3ed to last position is enough reason to get the team relegated not being giving a second chance against a lower tier that obviously would have have less revenue or spending capacity than the team in top flight, I'd rather the 3rd and 4th team in the Bundesliga 2 battle it out, than give a second chance to a team that have performed woefully all season long.

The last edition was near perfect for me, but as the saying goes there is always room for improvement, my only observation would have been proper wording of each question, but as I've noticed sometimes that decoding the question itself is part of the answer so, I'm good with that and given the penalty for those late submission is another good implementation imo, I've seen potential several sports that are likely to be added, from the conversations here so far, but there haven't been much or any talk about eSports like CS:GO, I know for a fact here some of us from the forum do switch to those eSport during off season of football and I remember having Dota2 question during one of those weeks, can we expect some of the same in these periods too ?
1598  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: June 01, 2023, 03:56:30 AM

I'm also on the Jimmy Buckets bandwagon so let's see how far he can make this series against the Denver Nuggets teams. Again, they have been underrated since game 1 of this playoffs and yet Jimmy proved his MVP mentality since the series against the Bucks. So it's going to be Jimmy against Jamal Murray, and let's see if Aaron Gordon can somewhat stop him.

I'm considering taking the handicap in game 1 because I'm afraid to bet on the ML. There's a chance that the Heat will cover the spread even if they lose, especially if the game is close. Jimmy Butler has been unstoppable, and not even Gordon could stop him. Jimmy is quick and knows how to pass the ball to his open teammates. I don't know what their specific strategy will be in game 1, but I'm confident that the Heat will always be competitive.


I'll pass on the game one ML, If I'll have to bet on the Heat, it will be based on the odds not what I'm expecting of the Heat, the first game is usually where to draw a decent conclusion about certain match ups and other stuffs about players and how each team/players would approach the series.

That said, there are a lot of easy props for the Miami Heat players, especially in terms of the assist, the lines are very low and worth a gamble over and over again.
1599  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season on: June 01, 2023, 12:22:42 AM
I wasn't expecting this much bad performance from Roma in the penalty shoout-out stage of the game. Bono saved one with his feet and technically touched the other one with the tip of his fingers and the all came back from the post. Sevilla were nearly giving a second chance to them. But thanks to Patricio's encroachment the penalty was repeated and Sevilla put an end to the game to win the title.

This is the first ever time Mourinho loses a finale in a European cup such as the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League. Sevilla are still finding a way to win the Europa League title even when they don't have a very good season in general.


I'm glad that Sevilla won the Europa League and it was well deserved for a team that eliminated Juventus and Man United in a single season in the QF and SF respectively, and I'm much more glad that the Mourinho has never lost an Europeans final, as though winning those finals were down to him being a tactical genius especially with his awful style of play, and he showed it today again, no tactically smart manager would have had Dybala being subbed of first in that team today, he was Roma's best player in terms of chance created and passes when on the ball, but that was the player he subbed off first for Wijnaldum who I can't remember if he actually touched the ball at any point of the game.

Tactically outclassed, but I'm sure when the next press interview comes, he'd have quite a lot to cry about, as usual as the referee will never be fair enough whenever his side losses a match, a final for that matter.

The second half had just started and now it looked like the game would get even more interesting after a sleepy start to the first half.
The second half started with just the kind of response that I expected from Sevilla. The Coach made two changes and the changes have added tempo to the team. Sevilla have scored against Roma which is not something easy and most team have not been able to do in the last couple of games. The goal came from a well played cross into the penalty box of Roma by Jesus Navas that caused an own goal from Gianluca Mancini. The goal gives Sevilla the boost to know that they can still win the Europa again with pressure now on Roma to try and not concede another goal.
I am experiencing a very interesting Europa League final this night unlike what I expected. I just expected a very dull Europa League finals, especially if Roma will be able to score the first goal, but Mou is able to sing to score the first goal yet they stillplay in a good football and unfortunately Sevilla has to equalise. Now and the match is still interesting and well-balanced as it stands now any team can win?

It's just a typical Mourinho final in my opinion, scores a goal and hoping to ride on that luck on game long, since it's not working so far today he's become his usual cry baby over any call whatsoever, I mean for as little a call as a throw in from the middle of the pitch, to potential offside, request for cards for what isn't even a simulation but would have been a soft penalty to give, even though there was contact.

Now both teams cannot be separated at halftime so, the game is headed to extra time as expected, but the match has not been boring at all, as you would have expected of Mourinho's team in a final.
