Tune in for more "expert" tips from buway-non-expert-tress.

Yep it seems they lost by 2 runs

So yeah if I were to translate it into something that Im familiar with. Its pretty much like baseball but instead of taking turn after 3 strikes, the teams are given specific amount of balls to score as many points ( runs ) as possible before the opposing team hit the strikes ( wicket )

This is pretty much as close as what I understand it would be. Well now I need royals to lose on their next game or else Im losing point on question #10

Unfortunately for me, I had no idea that it was esport-esque upper and lower brackets kind of knockouts, that's despite the fact that I made my research, it just didn't occur to me  ... And thus, there comes Buwaytress advantage over me, except I'll be needing Sunrisers Hyderabad to lose their next game against Rajasthan Royals to get a draw from that question.


-------------------------------

Bayer Leverkusen impressive and surreal run of form have finally come to an end, I believe despite being below par today and defeated by a better team on the night, Xabi Alonso and his players should still be extremely proud of themselves. This loss has nothing on what they've achieved and the performance they've showed this season!!!

Congrats to those that seen the writing on the wall, Lever losing was a good call guys.

Bayer Neverlusen is no more after that loss against Atalanta, I hope they'll come back stronger with another impressive streak since they've been one of the best teams to bet on this season.

We also had two cup games that finished earlier today with Sparta Prague and Dinamo Zagreb securing their win. That means we 0-2 backers are now in trouble because it'll be impossible to see all three underdogs win in the other cup final.

I don't understand why they chose Atalanta as the winner even though we know almost all participants chose Leverkusen at least 5 of the 48 participants chose Atalanta, maybe they just hope for luck or have their own considerations? if it is based on considerations then they win the bet with good odds. This 4th season was pretty bad for me and I only won 2 times out of 9 predictions, instead of reaching Division2 even in Division 3A I couldn't compete and the most unlucky thing is that I missed the competition in the Cup

I think they just went against popular opinion, plus with the incredible run they went for the season it had to end eventually. Don't worry bro you'll turn it around, I'm having a terrible run of form myself it'll eventually turn around maybe switch up your process or your handicapping.

I just checked the ice hockey quarterfinal schedule and I'm in a little trouble. The only difference between jayce and me is that he went with Switzerland and I went with Czech Republic. Switzerland is up against Germany which is a much wasier opponent than USA who is up against Czech Republic. I hope that Czech can win despite the odds.

It is due to the way we phrased the question. You need to get exact way Leverkusen wins or just Atalanta to win in any way. That offsets the odda just enough to get decent spread of answers. This time not so much, seems we all put a lot of trust in Leverkusen not loosing this season.

Fair play to Atalanta though, they played excellent game yesterday.

[slaman29]

Congrats, 2 guys in 1 division picked Atalanta, that was amazing show.

Good summary I didn't know you guys watch cricket lol but also, if all the wickets fall, you won't be allowed to hit the balls anymore. So the idea is to hit the balls, hit them well (you get max points for a "home run"), and protect the wicket

My entire family know cricket very well, I'm a kinda outcast because I hate it and chose to watch football instead

Actually you have a higher chance, slackovic. While there is a possibility that all of my picks could be wrong, you have got 1 point already by picking either of US and Czech, no matter who gets through

Bayer Neverlusen...

Lol good one ralle14

Yeah, but you also have USA so it will be a point for both of us if USA wins or a point for me if they lose. But you have Switzerland and I think they will easily win over Germany so that's a point for you. We'll see tonight.

[cryptofrka]

Odds-wise, Atalanta was a better pick than any of the Bayer ones. I thought about picking that one, but I trusted this Bayer team without watching them properly.
I have to say that they disappointed me yesterday - a team with Xhaka simply can't be a serious team. I'm not taking anything from their season but based on what they showed in the biggest game of the year I don't see how they were undefeated so far.

Alonso's starting lineup was a bit weird as well - not sure how much it was affected by injuries.

Lookman stole the show with a great hattrick and I'm actually glad for Atalanta - they have been playing some great football on limited resources.

Yeah I didnt know that either hence I picked bengaluru lol I thought it would be like tennis-like bracket but oh well, both of us still had a chance to steal that point !

I didnt and I was curious with all those numbers then @buwaytress explained it perfectly. I just summed it up with an analogy to baseball because crickets seems pretty similar to baseball from what I've seen on youtube lol

All good things must come to an end

I guess this sums up Leverkusen perfectly after all those undefetable run. As for Xabi Alonso, he does freaking well so far but I guess no treble for him this year ! but atleast Im sure he will win those cup trophy for sure

Lookman had the best game of his life. He only score 2 goals for the whole Europa League prior to the game last night and yeah I guess even he was surprised that he would managed to score hattrick on final

[buwaytress]

So Canada are through (as expected) and Switzerland (the one I overlooked). Meaningless to me since Harko and I had the same ice hockey brain on, but from a glance at the spreadsheet, Czech-USA is the game to decide many outcomes. US the favourites but I'll want Czech to win this, just to throw up a pretty matchup.

Found out today there are three periods in an ice hockey game (I always assumed two or four). Does anyone here seriously watch these games? I don't think they're boring, from a few snatches of play I'm looking at. Just not sure I'll ever want to watch a game properly -- but I said that about cricket too.

I might be biased because I played ice hockey when I was younger, but ice hockey is far from boring. It's a fast paced game where players play few minutes and then they have to rest. That's why ice hockey teams have four lineups that change during the game.

Unfortunately ice hockey is a marginal sport in Croatia, especially after Medvescak went bankrupt so there's no way for me to watch the games. NHL games are usually played when it's night time here so I don't watch it. Plus I don't like the fact that Americans make a show out of almost every sport.

And I hope that Czech can beat USA because I'll lose a point since Switzerland went thought to the semi finals.

[CLS63]

What a good start for me to lead already 2-0 on questions 2 and 10 😁😁

Woow vd309 gets his 2nd ( I don't count Casper's 3 points) 3 points for free after mv1986 didn't submit his answers. Someone must have some luck😁

Good luck guys in this round😁

Hehe I think I had more points against @cls63 anyway when he didn't submit on time and vs @mv1986 we will never know.  

First of all I'm sorry everyone. When not making predictions I know that the order of the league breaks down. On the past weeks I was having momentary problems with my internet connection because of being in the countryside and I missed making predictions. However even if I made predictions vd309 was still going to defeat me. So here I just damaged myself by getting -1 points. I'm going to try to do my best to prevent such things from happening in the future.

Lookman stole the show with a great hattrick and I'm actually glad for Atalanta - they have been playing some great football on limited resources.

Lookman is the new and younger Joselu  
But that reminds me about Real Madrid and last match against Villareal, Joselu scored again, and I expect to see him score more goals against Betis in Saturday.
I feel market value going up slowly and my wallet balance going up together

Hockey is not boring sport like tennis for me, but I am ignoring matches when me and my nemesis answered the same, I dont have time to waste  

What do you guys think think about women Champions League final?
Only few of us are expecting Lyon to win against Barcelona.

[jayce]

Yeah, but you also have USA so it will be a point for both of us if USA wins or a point for me if they lose. But you have Switzerland and I think they will easily win over Germany so that's a point for you. We'll see tonight.

aaaannddd US lost..

[slackovic]

aaaannddd US lost..

Hahaha. Good GIF

I guess that means it's a draw between us on that question. I'd be a little sad if it weren't for a fact that I almost lost a point on that one. So let's see what other questions will bring us.

The next question will surely bring an advantage for someone because you went with Lyon and I went with Barcelona. I have no idea what's going on in women's football, but giving how Atalanta won against Leverkusen, maybe Lyon was a better choice than Barcelona.

[cryptofrka]

Hockey is one of my favorite sports. It's really fast-paced, offensive and dynamic.
USA lost so I drew, Czech GK had 36 saves in the game without conceding which is an incredible achievement.

Tatum and Brown scored 66 together again yesterday, meaning that 28 in the 3rd game is enough for over points. Should be 99% guaranteed.

Good point, slackovic! Well both of Lyon and Barcelona are the greatest women football team and dominating in european competition in last 8 years which they won 6 UCL while Barcelona got 2 and won last year. It would be a great final!
