Bitcointalk IPL Prediction Pool & Discussion

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!

A few correct match with right margin will drastically change your #position. In last edition, I was in the same position as of you but luckily was able to get back.
In superbru, I have never seen someone getting a GSP point other than this competition. Can someone elaborate more what's it all about and how it works?

Forgetting ABD, Maxwell and gentle giant Kyle Jamieson ?

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.

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

Have the fixtures been rescheduled? I thought matches were starting off right from where we left the tournament last time but I see MI vs CSK match tomorrow which means all the fixtures were redesigned or maybe they have just pushed up CSK vs MI match as a starter to ensure the finalists of the last year playing the first match?
CSK team looks so old on paper, many senior citizens like Raina, Uthhapa, Dhoni, Raydu, Jadeja, and I think chances are all of them would play, Another question I have is that FAF du Plessis, Pollard, and Bravo arrived late on 16th September which means they didn't do the necessary quarantine of 6 days, are they eligible to play tomorrow or not?

I guess CSK will have to manage without Curran and Faf in their opening encounter against MI which is a big blow since these two have been in good form in recent times. Will be interesting to see how Uthappa performs in CSK.

Lol. Did you lock all of those picks? Personally, I would choose comfortable for all of them instead since it is usually the optimal option based on what I observed.

Did you run any statistical experiment for this prediction? Otherwise, why would you pick narrow for all? I haven’t looked at the previous stats but if most matches ended as narrow margin, you are likely to get a lot of points.
I'm not going such straight. I have picked MI to win with a narrow margin though I haven’t locked yet. I may change the pick depending on who is going to bat first. But for whatever the case is, MI to win will be my bet.

[Vishnu.Reang]

Anyone opted for CSK today? Not all of the participants have locked their picks, but I can see that 4 out of 6 have gone for Mumbai Indians. And most of the participants think that the winning margin (irrespective of the side) will be small. Right now, it is really unpredictable. I have made my prediction based on the fact that some of the important players are not available for CSK today. Their 4 overseas players are likely to be - Moeen Ali, Dwayne Bravo, Imran Tahir and Josh Hazlewood (last one is not confirmed, Lungi Ngidi may be picked instead of Josh).

Ok so this match is done and dusted already?  

Now let's focus on next match. lol

Oh wait i forgot about Sir Jadeja and Lord Thakur.

[RapTarX]

Great comeback by CSK!
Ruturaj was excellent; so does Bravo at the end in his style. I didn’t expect CSK to set a target of above 130. They were in trouble indeed. I had a bet for MI at the beginning and placed more amount with low odds. But this seems risky now for me. Target for MI is 157 & that's not going to be easy.

Ruturaj is now the highest individual scorer against MI for CSK.

Mumbai now needs 75 runs from 48 balls to win. Not a very tough match. Pollard and Tiwary are batting now. If Mumbai does not lose wickets and Pollard gets a chance to play some more overs then Mumbai will win the match. Still, Chennai's captain Dhoni. He is very experienced. He knows exactly when to decide to win the match.

[Haunebu]

Predicted CSK would win comfortably and they didn't let me down. They struggled at the beginning, but Pollard screwed up big-time by allowing spinners to bowl when their fast bowlers were on fire.

Rituraj was lucky initially since he survived a couple of close calls and he played fabulously till the end. MI seriously missed Rohit who could have made a big difference.

Next up is RCB vs KKR. My prediction is that RCB will win this one easily since they have been playing really well in recent times while KKR have been struggling in comparison.

Haha I sometimes feel it Should be illegal in IPL to have both Lord Sharadul and Sir Jadeja in one team, this is absolutely unfair treatment towards other teams unless you want them to merely participate in the tournament and not make any significant achievement. Good for CSK that Faf played the match but sheer bad luck for MI that they had to drop their captain and star player Hitman in the very first match, without him obviously it looked like a one-sided affair and a defeat in the first match means losing momentum very early in the tournament, Hitman needs to regroup moving forward in the tournament. On Paper MI looks so good, but form of almost all the players is quite untested.

Thakur saab again took his 1st wicket in his first over. lol

Why Rohit didn't play yesterday, busy with vada pav or what? And i noticed that you and couple of guys cheated yesterday by not opting for any options.

[Little Mouse]

Only webtricks and bitcoingirl.club had picked KKR to win. I had picked RCB to win along with a bet placed for them. But so far, RCB seems have lost the match already. 7 wicket down already. KKR should have the match won as the target won't be high. RCB has now again turned into unpredictable as they were in the previous edition.

[JSRAW]

I forgot to pick today. 

[Vishnu.Reang]

LOL.. I am really having a horrible start to the second leg. Received zero points yesterday and today also it will be the same. Picked RCB for today's match and they failed to make a three digit total. I went for RCB because Pat Cummins is not there in KKR playing XI. But then Lockie Ferguson and Andre Russell proved to be even more deadly. I think KKR will get a 10 wicket victory today. RCB really looks clueless and the captain is nowhere to be found. I don't know where he is hiding. Anyway, this is turning out to be the perfect debut for Venkatesh Iyer.

[Haunebu]

Looks like RCB will end up going to the bottom once again and Kohli will probably never secure an IPL trophy if they keep playing like this since this is his last opportunity. KKR blew me away through their improvements in both the batting and bowling areas.

I forgot to pick today. 

Default pick is RCB which is a loss which is why webtricks and bitcoingirl are the only winners though none of them predicted the correct margin.

[AB de Royse777]

Random picks does not pay off LOL
I am yet to get my first point in this 2nd leg.

Don't know if last game was upset or not but RCB did shit on their pants.

Dumb question but i ask anyway  How does this random pick works in general, is there any automatic option available in superbru to pick team?

Or you pick your option manually?

[Haunebu]

RR vs Punjab is turning out to be a high-scoring game. RR batted fabulously though they messed up towards the end since 200+ looked easy at one point. Shami and Arshdeep claimed majority of the wickets.

Punjab are off to a spectacular start thanks to Rahul and Agarwal though I have no idea why Gayle isn't part of the team. Exciting match.

[RapTarX]

Though RR was pretty strong, I picked KXIP. They are playing good so far. KXIP needs more 89 run from 63 balls which seems easy unless they lose wickets faster. KL Rahul and Agarwal is having good partnership.
I placed no bets today. Lost the last two matches and looking for a break
