CWC2019 Prediction Pool - Win x BTC [Additional prize in every round]

[FIFA worldcup]

It's all over for India and as per my calculation I have lost around 0.1BTC in this world cup (F***, I could have set up my own book maker website with this money LOL). I am done with gambling except joining in pools and if there are any free bonus from the bookies I am with. I still have two bets alive.

Australia to reach final.
Australia to win the World cup.

I do not care about those to win or lose, already lost too much. This small return (if win) is not gonna make any change for me.

Anyway, back to the pool: Vishnu was the only one who predicted New Zealand will comfortably win this match and man(!) wow(!) he was f**king right :-)
Come on Vishnu! That was not fair :-P By the way, congratulations bud.

Also congratulations to New Zealand for the final. The weakest team of the top four is now the first finalist of the 2019 CWC. Australia and England both teams are just smiling and praying to win their semi. Whoever will win the semi will be the champion in my opinion. New Zealand just had a good lucky day today. Especially at the beginning of the Indian inning.

What do you say Vishnu? :-P

Gambling will mostly make people lose and this is one another example. I can understand the feeling on how you might be feeling on losing 0.1BTC and the hopeless comments of never returning back to gambling.

I also think that at the start of today  everyone was hopefull that India will easily win this match and much money must have been booked on Indian win.  Gamblers much have lost million billions today.

We can say this match change fortune of Bookies because we have too many punters with Indian won and many spent millions on this but at the end they have nothing just weed or some other time pass things for them.

It depends on you. No one will ask, at least no one has the right to ask, lol

I have seen a lot of merit police around LOL so, I think this will help them to get their answer and will not point finger to me :-P

I don't smoke weed, I occasionally smoke Benson  

You know I was making fun of both of you :-)

Dhoni played his best from the beginning till 2/3 overs before Jadeja got out. Jadeja had no choice but to go for big since the RR was increasing but if Dhoni would have a couple of boundaries, then Jadeja could have played if he got a perfect ball.

The perfect answer without any question and I left everything that I had in my bag. I am now out of sMerit :-P

By the way, that is it from me for today guys. See ya tomorrow. Finger crossed for Australians.

[erikalui]

I did not watch the semis as did not have access to the internet but heard people talking about it and keeping their all hopes on Dhoni. Checked the players scores and they say "teen tigada kaam bigada" which suits today's play. Rahul, Rohit, Virat all getting out for 1 which implies our loss was sure. Congrats to NZ and its fans as they truly deserved their win.

[bitcoinisbest]

Cricket at his best. What a contest and what a match which kept the hope alive for both team till second last over. Finally NZ was marginally better and due to which they won the match . Though rain effected ystd due to which pitch was little better to bowl as well.

Jadeja played extremely well on today's match but still not enough to reach the line and the heart breaking moment for Indian fans is the run out of Dhoni,if that didn't happens the result could be changed but finally kiwis into the final and going to up against Australia I guess.

Team selection remained poor for India throughout the tournament. Ravindra Jadeja was arguably the best all rounder available and yet he played only two of the 10 matches. Mediocre players such as Kedar Jadhav, Dinesh Karthik and Vijay Shankar were given opportunities instead. Another blunder was playing two spinners (Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal) against England.

[Pffrt]

Rohit was brilliant in this world cup. Probably best of his career. Here's his stats-

vs SA- 122(144)
vs AUS- 57(70)
vs PAK- 140(113)
vs AFG- 1(10)
vs WI- 18(23)
vs ENG- 102(109)
vs BAN- 104(92)
vs SL- 103(94)
vs NZ- 1(4)

Total- 648, with an avg of 79.75, SR of 98.33, fantastic performance by the hitman. Till now his achievements-
Most century in a single world cup (5), some player has 4 including Warner, he has great chance to hit the 5 as well.

Most centuries in world cup (6), along with Sachin Tendulkar

Highest run scorer of 2019 ICC World Cup, which may not last since Warner(638).

From now, I will keep praying so that Warner gets out earlier and can't break the record of 673 runs.

[Vishnu.Reang]

^^^ In case of Rohit, all of his centuries (6 in total were against test teams: two against Bangladesh, and one each against South Africa, Pakistan, England and Sri Lanka). Sachin scored 3 out of his 6 centuries against non-test playing teams (two against Kenya and one against Namibia), while only 3 came against test playing nations. For Sachin, 4 out of the 6 centuries were scored in India, and for Rohit 5 were scored in England and one in Australia.

Some stats of Sachin Tendulkar in 2003 world cup host in South Africa, Zimbabwe, Kenya-

vs ZIM- 81(91), the era of Heath Streak
vs NAM- 152(151)
vs ENG- 50(52)
vs PAK- 98(75)
vs SL- 97(120)
vs KEN- 83(101)

And against SL, PAK, he missed the chance of century.

Anyway, other than Namibia, no country was such bad. Kenya played semi in 2003 as well.

And, let me remember you that all of Rohit's century has a history of catch drop  I am not underestimating the level of Rohit but you know Sachin is thousand times better, I guess we had a discussion on this earlier with you.

There can be a lot to discuss about this merit police thing but this is how it works. Anyways Thanks. 

I think England will won the 2nd Semi final as it is already planned. (i have been saying this now for a while). Lets see how much i am right about it. 

Even if England reaches the final, The final will not be fixed and England will have to play better than NZ to win the WC.

If semi is planned for England, why not the final? And who is doing the plan, by the way?
That really sucks when you say like this. Nothing is planned, everyone is putting their best to win a match. Problem is we are not observing their effort.

That's right. Big tournaments like this can't be fixed in anyway. But at the same time, ICC would have preferred a final between India and England, which represents the largest markets available. In case England crashes out today, then it will be a disaster for the ICC. The final will be restricted to two teams from the smallest continent. 

[Haunebu]

Either you are stupid or didn't watch the match. I was not talking about earlier of the match, two previous over where Jadeja got out, Dhoni wasn't trying to get a big hit. He was still looking at single which is why Jadeja had to go for big.

You are one hilarious little dude. You clearly did not understand what I was trying to convey which is why we need to agree to disagree here. That is the best course of action here.

Guys, Discuss or fight about your cricketing perspective, its all good and very much appreciated but don't give each other new names.  
Or at least same name

Lol. Its all good.

Damn. Tough luck. Who would have expected New Zealand to defeat India even after posting such a low score? Also, the whole MSD no-ball controversy describes the pathetic umpiring standards currently which seriously needs to improve.  

[deadley]

Still heart broken, don't know what to say about yesterday match. 1 of the big loss of the year for me, but heart broken not because of financial loss but because India lost to New Zealand.

We can't do anything but feel bad about the loss. Till the 44th over, I still had hope but when Dhoni got out, all my hopes were shattered. I really felt they could reach the finals

They managed to win all matches except for the NZ one being washed out and one against Eng. Wish the openers could perform well.

Lol..how many times i have tried to explain it. Let me try one final time  

THE BIG THREE (AUS / IND / ENG ) who control the ICC have decided internally that they will allow ENGLAND to win but the 4th team is not in their control.
They thought NZ will be easy to beat than PAK, so India lost to England to allow NZ in. As per them the results should be

NZ vs Ind :  IND   (India would had to win this buz NZ is not part of plan)
Aus vs Eng :  Eng    (No worries as AUS will lose this )

Final:  IND vs ENG  ( India will lose this as part of plan)


Now NZ vs Eng......This match will not be fixed and England has to win it properly.

ICC did prefer a final between Ind and Eng but things went out of control as NZ was not part of the plan. They win Unexpectedly.  


Note: If Aus win today, all my theory will be false.  Lets see..

[AB de Royse777]

Archer's first ball and Finch gone :-)

After winning the toss, Australia decided to bat first but now they are struggling. I still believe them to win this match by the way.

You guys remember the two prediction I made months ago when the tournament just started?

Australia to reach final
Australia to win the world cup.


EDIT: LOL 2nd wicket gone. Warner GONE!

[JSRAW]

Guys if we are done with boring conspiracy theories then can we move into next game? or Umar you still want to play Mr. Basit Ali here


Oz team is in big trouble, both opener gone.

Then Proof my theory is wrong.  Australia 10/2.     Not possible unless you place my theory in place.  

Edit: 14/3    I hope now you may believe me
