Bitcointalk IPL Prediction Pool & Discussion

[Little Mouse]

Pay the fees LOL :-D

Okay, I will pay but I will not participate. I will add $20 worth of LTC to the pool soon. When I will have access to my wallet (my wallet is hidden on my house), I will send. I have participated in the last two pool. It would be great to join the pool and have some fun but due to some perosnal reason, I will not this time. But hopefully, I will join the next pool for cricket.
Good luck to everyone.

KKR's spin department doing heavy lifting for them and almost every batter in the Chennai is excellent player of spin so contest should be juicy.

The main strength of Kolkata is their spinners. Spinners have played an important role in every match in the past. Looking at the last few matches in Kolkata, it can be seen that the batsmen could not collect many runs against them. If Russell had been in the Kolkata squad, Kolkata would have been stronger. However, if Chennai wants to win against Kolkata tomorrow, Chennai's batsmen must play well. There is no alternative. But I think Kolkata will win the title this season.

But I think Kolkata will win the title this season.

May be yes but that's not going to be easy for any of them. If you consider overall strength, both teams are somewhat same. However, I think CSK has the better chance as they have captain cool who is far experienced as captain and the way the team combination they have in this season so far.

I think the two teams are of the same quality. But if Chennai bat first and lose the wickets of their two openers quickly, they will go after the problem. Chennai has scored 220 and 172 runs in the last two matches against Kolkata. Chennai has won both the matches. But Gaikwad and du Plessis have batted brilliantly in both the matches. Chennai's top-order batsmen have batted brilliantly. If Kolkata wants to win today, they must take the wickets of the top-order batsmen quickly.

Royse was just kidding with you. Why would he force you to pay the fees? Think before investing.

I disagree. Chennai has many great batsmen(Until 8th or 9th position) which is why they bat deep. Kolkata would need to consistently take wickets if they want to win this match. KKR is over-dependent on their top order batsmen which CSK bowlers will target.

I know he was kidding and I'm adding that $20 to the pool deliberately. If I would not have some personal works, I would participate in the pool and had to pay the fee. So, I will assume that I am participating  That's it. And why are you taking it as investing. Royse777 had paid double amount in the last IPL pool (or it was world cup). No one forced him, no one also forced me to do so now.

[JSRAW]

KKR won every single game when they batted second and Chennai lost every single match when they batted first.  . Same pattern emerge in the playoffs and i was confused which team should i back, went with the strong team anyway and they lost lol . Today once again going with our old dogs.

So Rapter is our winner, doesn't matter if he gets the point or not. Royse you should send him prize money in advance.

I guess you don't understand what investing means. Recheck the definition first. Also, I wasn't really serious about you being forced to pay the fees since it's logically not possible.

CSK are dominating the match currently. DK had an awesome chance to remove Faf early, but he messed up as usual. KKR will need to bat phenomenally in the 2nd half if they want to win this one.

Lol I didn’t get your joke then. I thought you were serious about the force. I'm just adding it so that the pool get little bigger, no other influence is there. It's a pleasure to be part of the pool, it's fun to be here.

KKR seems batting pretty well. I just got the feel of Devendra Bishu (wasn’t it Bishu who list them the trophy). They seem to be playing confidently. I need 4 points in this match to be in top 3 which seems impossible lol.

[teosanru]

Ah here we go once again, CSK takes the IPL trophy for the 4th time. Most importantly the critics from last year who were saying things about Dhoni, as well as the whole team, saying it's now an old team with no young guns, they need to change the captain and everything will now just shut up. Honestly speaking after playoffs, I wanted DC to win this year as I wanted a new winner, if not DC my second choice obviously was KKR. But anyhow CSK was a better team this year, and UAE which was like a rebirth for KKR this season couldn't fetch them the trophy, in the finals too KKR failed terribly both in bowling as well as middle-order batting, end of the domestic season let's get ready for the international season now.

[Haunebu]

MSD does it again. CSK easily won and secured a 4th title. KKR winning as the dark horse would have been more entertaining though. At this point, CSK and MI are dominating the league and they should rename it as the CSK-MI Premier League.

Every single CSK batsman were on fire and I expected them to cross 200, but just fell short. Faf and Gaikwad duking it out for the Orange Cap was entertaining. Also. Gill getting a life thanks to the cable was insane.

The post-match presentation with MSD was another highlight where he mentioned that he is not done yet. Lucky CSK fans. Good to know that he is the mentor for the Indian T20 team.

Including the way where he praised the KKR. He's very down to earth and ofc intelligent guy. Also his all press conference also very fun to listen. He's mentoring our team but still we're not winning the WC due to our panuti lol. I would be very happy guy if proven wrong tho

Congratulation @RapTarX

Congratulation @RapTarX

Congratulations to Rapter, Timon, Vishnu.

Thanks & congratulations to Timon & Vishnu. It was a tough one for all of us. We were very close in the last few matches.
It was a fantastic pool. I'm not so expert in predicting result. I don’t know how it happened & I managed to get the 1st place LOL. It is the longest pool I ever had. Hopefully it will be the longest forever.

I need address from Timon and Vishnu please.

Once I have the addresses, I will broadcast the prize. The LTC were converted already, but it seems the guy sent overvalue of the current price. I need to know if that was intentional. If intentional, then fine, or I would need to refund him the extra value.

[Vishnu.Reang]

I need address from Timon and Vishnu please.

Hi Royse, my address is 3KakYMjfxrgPe5DxZAiBeysT2oJs7SAjJH

Thanks for organizing the pool once again.

LDU QUITO helped me to exchange the LTC we had, however he sent overvalue, so I refunded him the extra coins he sent.

For Tx fees and other, we had 0.0004 btc allocated. It was having in mind that the fees of BTC could sky-high. But fortunately it's not now. So the remaining were sent to Project Covid-19 official address.

It was a good pool. I hope for the T20 world cup you all collaborate with JSRAW. I see he is doing his best to make everything right. Hopefully there will a sponsor for T20 World cup.

[RapTarX]

I have received the reward. Thank you Royse777 for organizing, managing the pool. It was fun to participate here. I will join the T20 world cup pool too after few hours. I wish we will have the same fun with the T20 world cup pool as well with JSRAW.

I missed your post here earlier pointing to the LTC conversion. Otherwise, I could have that filled as well.

[Vishnu.Reang]

Sorry.. I am a little bit late. Received the payment many days back in my BTC wallet. I express my gratitude for Royse, for organizing and maintaining this pool. It is tough work, and hardly anyone appreciates the effort and time he put in. Although the number of participants was lower than what we had last time, there was no dearth of excitement. I hope to rejoin the pool in a few months, when IPL 2022 begins.
