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.

Ice Hockey is actually not boring, not as much as cricket or baseball, both of which I still don't understand how the games works or the scores are counted. I do find myself watching Ice Hockey a number of times, but that's only the NHL whenever my tv subscription provider decides not to air NBA matches and I can find a stable website to stream from. I've actually followed a couple of series from this current Stanley Cup playoffs, How I wish that was where the hockey question come from  

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..

Damn!

On question 6, I was hoping Benfica wouldn't win the cup, now it's 3 out of 5... PSG is no doubt going to win so it's down to Celtic losing, and I'm not sure that's happening easily as they are a winning machine.

Worse scenario is both lose and jeremypwr hits it correct with 3!

LOL at Slissy's answer for Ice Hockey:

Trofo,cryptofrka, Slissy, Winner Slissy

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

I didn't even know much about the points, but this seems like Brown is scoring more points than his average while Tatum is just keeping his high average. That's how I picked my decision. I added their totals then averaged per game, it came out to over

I know that's not how it works but if you don't know anything about NBA, at least it's some type of 'research' lol

I have the edge over jeremypwr here also, but you never know what happens!!

[ILuckyGuyI]

Yup, extremely expensive for mv1986. To shogun47 and ILuckyGuyI who are in the top 2 spots in Div 3B as well.
After the Cup rounds we always have a few that forget to submit, I seriously advise you to put some kind of weekly reminder fellas. It's always at the same time.

I actually had a reminder but didn't even notice that because of being quite busy lately. I realized that I had to make predictions later on Tuesday but the deadline already passed. 

A bit disappointed with all those people failing to submit. This was a chance for shogun47 to secure the title. Now with 0 points and -1 for penalty who knows.

Yeah if I didn't forget to submit I was going to have a chance to drop the point difference with shogun to only 2 and I had a match against them on the final week.    Now at least my place in the playoffs is secured.

@ILuckyGuyI what happened? I'm a little bit disappointed our rematch could have been epic

I'm also disappointed with myself because of missing the deadline, mate. Now you are going to be 2 points ahead of me after I get penalized by 1 point. I was also looking forward to our rematch but here we are. 

[buwaytress]

Boring week for me and Harkorede. Shame as there was plenty going on, but we'll soon find out from today who leads and who falls behind, hoping Rangers beat Celtic in the Old Firm derby. I actually watched their last one a few weeks ago and Celtic looked uncomfortable even in winning, but their H2H with Rangers is daunting... Harko already lost a point there so he'll be hoping either both remaining cup tie favourites lose together or win together so I also lose the point.

Every other answer we have is precisely the same, so we only have IPL to set us apart. Google odds on Sunrisers don't look good, RR chose to bowl first and have managed to keep SRH runs at a low 120 with only about 30% of the match to go. Harko should be happy as if SRH wins, then I win this round before the evening starts.

Sidebet, here I come!

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

No thoughts there. I'd be very surprised if I tuned in, but then again, I was spending an hour watching European cricket last week, so you never know what my brain will give in to.

I've actually followed a couple of series from this current Stanley Cup playoffs, How I wish that was where the hockey question come from  

I do get the action, but for me that's not always what makes something interesting to watch. I feel like personality really plays a part in sports watchability (which explains tennis or even badminton for me) as well as predictability (and why I tune off what I call 50/50 sports).

I live in such a shit country where the only provider doesn't offer English commentary and every other option (I say option, perhaps I mean alternative heh heh) is not stable in delivery. I miss my 3rd world offerings where you can get anything you want and highly reliable delivery.

Yeah, It's been quite a bore fest contest between us, I really didn't expect us to have that much similar answers, not even up to the H2H matches... We seem inseparable with ours answers, but then you do have the best advantage on the cricket and then the cup finals questions.

I'd be very lucky to secure a draw here to be very honest, I've not been the best when it comes to trailing or depending a particular question to secure a draw, but If your team is as shitty as you've been saying this season, then maybe there is a iota of hope for me to cling onto.

[arallmuus]

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

Flashscore actually showed 63 combined though with Brown 40 pts and Tatum 23 pts but yeah its still going to be over for sure. Atleast this wont be my concern beause I had the same answer as @imarios




@imarios : we had two games tomorrow on stake so yeah Im hoping to get one extra point from either of these two to secure atleast a draw. 3 points would be nice as currently Im also having an edge at question #10. Rajasthan Royals ended up not making it to the final, phew !

[Harkorede]

Im also having an edge at question #10. Rajasthan Royals ended up not making it to the final, phew !

I lost both my duel and the sidebet to Buwaytress due to the Rajasthan Royals failing to win, with a win from them, I could have been quite optimistic for a draw...

I guess I saw it coming all along...

Congratulatons @Buwaytress  you sure know I'm never going to let that slide right, too bad we don't have any possible matchup for the rest season 

[goodpunt]

A rematch is still possible but that would be a playoff final.
But unfortunately our playoff places aren't secured yet it looks like one team in 3B has stopped playing and if the results in the current gameweek don't go our way we will have to endure a thrilling season final ........which I wanted to avoid.

[Trofo]

@notblox1

just checked our answers, seems like everything will go down today for us. I have one point advantage on cricket if I look at that correctly but I like your answers for today better. Especially Barca-Lyon game. Picked that one just based on odds and today when I looked at it I think Lyon is closer to winning it. No way Barca gets that dominantly unless we see some red cards or what not. Placed my money on both to score here.

Also don't see City scoring 4 goals unless they start with 2:0 in the first 15 minutes. If it is close and it should be City will just keep the ball without actually attacking. Don't know what I was thinking here.

[cryptofrka]

Flashscore actually showed 63 combined though with Brown 40 pts and Tatum 23 pts but yeah its still going to be over for sure. Atleast this wont be my concern beause I had the same answer as @imarios

Yeah, must have just written it wrong because I calculated correctly - they are on 125 currently and need just 28 more.

Game 1 boxscore - 62 total (Brown 26, Tatum 36)
Game 2 boxscore - 63 total (Brown 40, Tatum 23)

I won a point on the cricket thing already and I don't know how I could lose this one so let's say I have a 2-0 lead. With 3 questions to go, I'd have to be really unlucky to lose.

[Rikafip]

Anyone watching FA Cup final? City has been so bad in the first half that they managed to make that shit ManUtd team actually looking good, as if they were been drinking since Sunday (which they probably were lol), celebrating the title. 

At least I got my automatic win so I don't have to feel stupid choosing Utd conceeding 3 goals.

I believe it's a different thing to be completely shit in game around, and then it's another thing to be playing against the wrong opponent, the latter seem to be my case for this round, If I were to be up against another player who isn't Buwaytress, I believe I should still stand a chance of winning the round or at worse get a draw, but the only question differences I have with him are those that I fumbled with, how unlucky could I have been, lol.

I even wanted to place a small bet on 5 the Cup finals selected, they were of decent odds and the remain 2 games looks rather better on paper than the completed 3, perhaps, that could have been consolation enough for me  

[Kokee44]

Unbelievable  woooowww Manchester united won 🏆,
I am very happy, I got 2 bet landed , btts also Man U draw no bet, woooow
Also My answer it's won in bsfl(0_2) goals

[buwaytress]

Watching women's UCL and... I am almost 100% certain I've seen much better games. Lyon odds suggested they were quite good but their defence is one huge uncoordinated mess you normally see me play. Don't know the names but what kind of CB sidesteps and dribbles in his penalty box, and just as the midfield and attackers are forming, blasts the ball clear up?

And then Barca defence decides to take over after 30 mins. Trofo's right. This is not going to be a dominant Barca win, without red cards or dumbass defender mistakes (the latter seems 100% likely right now).

I usually have good things to say about women's football but this is not the quality a final deserves. Nerves?

Anyone watching FA Cup final? City has been so bad in the first half that they managed to make that shit ManUtd team actually looking good,

I loved that. I need United to think they're better than they really are. Bruno as striker was... inspired haha. Also, Haaland's great but I think big games, Pep needs to stop being stubborn. Haaland/KdB is just too marked out in the biggest ones.

Unbelievable  woooowww Manchester united won 🏆,

Absolutely believable. Derbies are so fun, and this tie always favours United when the odds are 10/1 or so

I believe it's a different thing to be completely shit in game around, and then it's another thing to be playing against the wrong opponent, the latter seem to be my case for this round, If I were to be up against another player who isn't Buwaytress, I believe I should still stand a chance of winning the round or at worse get a draw, but the only question differences I have with him are those that I fumbled with, how unlucky could I have been, lol.

Don't be too down about it. I think we both made really good picks this round, and in the ones I didn't bother to look at odds, just relying on bracket probability, they've been working a treat. Thank you for taking care of my EURO fee

Also considered an acca on cups but odds were pretty shit for me. Also, I thought Besiktas and Celtic were in danger of tripping, now it does look like a perfect 5/5 is on the cards. Hope Lyon remind PSG they're an overhyped team... but if PSG do the expected, Spack17 will be the supreme player of this round, the only one who picked 5.

[cryptofrka]

I'm currently sitting at a respectable 0/5 but it seems I've won - a miracle would have to happen in the NBA game tonight for me not to.
I guess thanks is in order to Ulven for an even worse performance, this is one of the rounds in which you usually lose.

I was incredibly unlucky with relegation last season, so I guess some good luck is in order.

[Kokee44]

Goaaalll of the champion title , from Barça women's in the 95th minut, thank you Lady's,
This victory, by a difference of two goals, gives a valuable point, making my victory in the 3rd division league title almost certain for 99%.

[jayce]

wow Bonmati might win back-to-back Ballon d'Or this season

Needed that one badly after losing all others today in my duel. For once it was last moments luck on my side.

Did not watch it since my provider gives PL but not FA Cup. Was too lazy to watch on stream, except for about 20 minutes in the second half when I was on my PC. Those 20 minutes in the second half City were much better and I thought they can turn it around.

To be fair United played the last few months without almost all first-choice defenders and they got at least some back for this game. The difference was palpable as it should be. No team in the world can play without the first 4 choices in CB positions.

i still able to draw the match if Tatum and Brown have more than 152.5 points which is i believe ez for them to reach
but i just count it that i still able to get to rank 1 if next week i win againts charaf

Tbh, if City took this game more seriously right from the start I don't think that Utd getting some of the players back would make a big difference. Oh well, at least they will play in Europe thanks to this win but I doubt it will save Ten Haag from getting sacked.

but i just count it that i still able to get to rank 1 if next week i win againts charaf

If kokee beats you this round then there's no way for you to finish 1st in our division, or even 2nd as I'll be 4 points ahead of you and he 6. And since he is playing against navidart in the last round, that means he is the champion.
