Bitcointalk IPL Prediction Pool & Discussion

Looks like IPL 2021 won't resume in India(If it resumes). UAE or UK seem like the best spots to resume IPL 2021. Personally, I would choose the UK since many Indian players will already be present there as Kevin mentioned.

And from what I have heard, the IPL players may not be impacted even if the tournament is called off. The franchises are likely to pay them the full amount.

That is tough to believe to be honest. Most franchises aren't even arranging proper transportation for their players in order to save money currently.

My query is who the Duck is this Kevin? (Kevin Pietersen?)

And i noticed that almost no-one followed "Vote Format". We definitely got nice bunch of peeps.  

I was surprised to see that. Some of them even gone with their own custom options that at some point I felt that I should have add something like "User the fund if IPL resume orfor  WC T20"

Anyway, good to see that we all are happy.

Not shocked but i laughed at it and thought yeah most of em are Indians or NRIs so its hard to follow any rules anyway lol. Pun intended of course, not insulting or mocking anyone.

Apart from Mumbai Indians, the other franchises were of the opinion that the BCCI should arrange chartered flights for the players. Now they are justified in saying so, because it was the ego and stupidity of the BCCI which resulted in this situation. But I read in an online portal that the franchises want to keep their players happy and are likely to pay the full amount rather than going for a payment based on pro-rata. BTW, is there any truth in the rumors of fight between David Warner and Michael Slater?

1. Reserve for resume or next IPL : Royse777, Vishnu.Reang
2. Use the fund to next big tournament for example: WC T20 : JSRAW, teosanru, Swordsoffreedom, Haunebu, BitcoinGirl.Club
3. Return the funds to the users.

Well it seems majority wants the fund will be used for the next big tournament which lead me to bring this conclusion that if IPL resumes then we continue with this fund or we will use it for the next upcoming big tournament possibly WC T20.

Thanks everyone to help me to make a good decision as it seems my own decision was against the majority.

See that's what happens when you let people votes, you never get your ways. One of the reason i'm against democracy and preach about dictatorship lol

And i noticed that almost no-one followed "Vote Format". We definitely got nice bunch of peeps. 

If you preach dictatorship you must be very happy with the political conditions of India currently.  Anyways IPL I think won't happen for at least a year. I don't think BCCI would once again take the risk of calling a league amidst this COVID Crisis and I don't see covid crisis going anywhere in the next 6 months. This is why I think everyone wants to adjust funds for next big tournament.

Officially they both have denied that there was any such fight between them in any Maldives Bar. Talking about the payments for players. I think as long as the franchises are in profit( Which they should be in), they won't really make the players sad. Moreover, after risking the lives of the player in this deadly pandemic they really want to give them the compensation to shut up.

They probably did get into a fight since we all know about Warner when he gets pissed and ousting him as the SRH captain could have contributed. However, they denied it for obvious reasons.

The BCCI are staring at a 2500 crore loss if IPL 2021 gets cancelled which is why I am very confident that it will resume after a couple of months in some other country as I suggested in my previous posts.

I know that Warner was not really happy about his firing. And he may have felt even more bitter, when he learnt that Kane Williamson has been appointed as the new captain. Warner had refused to include Williamson in the playing XI, during the first few matches.

BTW, I agree with teosanru. The players took a huge risk in participating in this tournament despite the ongoing pandemic. They deserve the full payment. And it's not just the players. Even the non-playing staff and the officials need to be compensated properly. Umpire Nitin Menon had to leave the tournament in between, when his family members tested positive.

What about the POOL? Are we going to have the pool started after the IPL resume again? Or this IPL pool will be stopped?
Asking this as I may miss the information up to date. I would be happy with waiting for IPL to be resumed.

ATM chances looking thin for the IPL so overall everyone decided through vote that pool amount should be transfer to the upcoming T-20 WC but if by any chance (Big if) BCCI got opportunity to resume the IPL before the T-20 WC then obviously this pool will continue with existing pool amount.

From what I have heard the BCCI is planning to conduct the remainder of the IPL just before the T20 World Cup. Because until September, the calendar is already jampacked. Now it needs to be seen how long it takes to negotiate with the Emirates Cricket Board and to bring all the franchises on board. The England players have already made it clear that they will not be participating in any resumption this year. I guess the other foreign players are also quite doubtful as far as the participation is concerned.

Thanks Jsraw for the mention. Otherwise, I would not even know about IPL getting restarted as I'm busy with some real life stuff. I just know that IPL will be resumed. Though I think I'm out of the competition, I will be picking and will look whether I can do the same as I did last edition.
Royse777 has a telegram channel for this pool. Maybe a shootout  shout out to that channel would let everyone know the pool is getting resumed too.

[Vishnu.Reang]

The last time I logged in to Superbru was many months back and I was afraid that they wouldn't allow me inside. Somehow managed to login and make the picks for the first set of matches. I just selected the teams, and didn't locked the pick. Right now it is RapTarX who is leading with 26 points followed by teosanru (24 pts). But it will take some time to regain the momentum and get adjusted. I was also quite busy with my full-time job and was following international and franchise cricket only intermittently.

Haha looks like we are back in action. I had uninstalled SuperBru, looks like I have to get things sorted once again to start with the IPL season, looks like our population has decreased from Last time isn't it?

The only reason I reminded JSraw to bump the thread was that it came to my mind yesterday that I was on number 2, otherwise I would never have it restarted. 

So, what do you guys expect now this IPL? Can RCB take home the cup? Especially after Virat has given up Indian captaincy if RCB doesn't win this edition, chances are he will give up RCB's captaincy too.

[AB de Royse777]

Let's restart! :-D
I am totally confused which sides to take, but eventually I was able to make my selections for the round. Who else is doing random selection?

[Haunebu]

Feels like IPL 2020 all over again. This gap could turn the tables around for some teams. Kohli stepping down as the T-20 captain after the T-20 World Cup surprised me and I am curious to see how RCB gets affected by this decision.

CSK or RCB felt like the best contenders to win IPL 2021, but I am not so sure anymore because of the gap. Excited to continue playing in the prediction pool with you guys.

[Little Mouse]

Possibly I will too as it will take few matches to understand who is going to perform how. The gap made me confused as well.
I think MI will be back as they do every time and there's a big chance for them this time too. And I don’t think RCB will be the champ. Though they have a so called great squad, their performance isn't. Virat Kohli will be playing free of pressure or more pressure

Definitely not RCB. Apart from Kohli, the other players are also not in form. I am talking about Navdeep Saini and Yuzvendra Chahal. But the players to watch out for are Singapore player Tim David (impressed a lot of people during this year's edition of the Caribbean Premier League), Wanindu Hasaranga and  Mohammed Siraj. I am hopeful about Devdutt Padikkal as well. For me, the teams with maximum chances to win this year's trophy are Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians. Mumbai is currently at the 4th spot, but I hope they can go up quickly.

Have no idea why some people don't think that RCB don't stand a chance at winning this particular IPL edition. They have played well in majority of the games so far and their prospects of winning are pretty high currently.

this is where we stand atm

Am in 9th position thanks to a streak of wrong predictions. Let's see how these rankings change during the 2nd leg of the tournament. Excited!

I agree, this year they looked excellent. Every player chipped in so far, even Maxy got his mojo back once RCB bought him.

I don't want to make fun because at start you, me and royse(i guess) were sitting at the bottom together.

Having said that lol its funny
