It has been an exciting playoffs and we are finally down to two remaining teams who will compete for the 2024 World Series Trophy. The New York Yankees from the American League and the Los Angeles Dodgers from the National League.
Current Prize Pool: 14,223 sats
Here are our current standings:
There are 12 points available in the World Series. 8 points for correctly picking the winner and 4 bonus points for correctly picking the number of games the series goes. You must get the series winner correct to be eligible for the bonus points.
The World Series starts Friday. Pick submissions will be open until Friday at 6pm est.
Good Luck!
It kills me to make this pick and I can't win anyway:
Yankees in 6
reply
You're already out of the game with only 12 points remaining. Are you picking it to announce your favourite to win? I've also picked the same.
reply
Siggy is no quitter. He fights until the end, even when defeat is certain.
reply
Yupp! That's true. It'd be better if we had more than four players who are still living. But the fight has just come down to between @BlokchainB 24, points @Undisciplined, @DTom 20 points, me at 19 points, @supercyclone 17 points
It's easier for @BlokchainB he just requires his pick wins. Whereas I and @supercyclone will need a victory with bonus points and also it depends on others.
reply
The only sure defeat for me would be making the same pick as BlockchainB, so I need to wait and let him take the best option.
reply
You could pick the same team as long as you don't pick the same amount of games as him. I don't recall if we have a tiebreaker. Might have been an oversight by me.
reply
That's fine. This is my final entry. No matters what others do I want Dodgers to lose. They have given me and siggy a heartbreak.
reply
Exactly, but I need to see what he does before I can pick. Of course, he might have a similar thought and be waiting to see what we do.
reply
BTW. I sent you 4700 sats over fountain. That's the remaining sats I owed you from last weeks pod and the split from this week.
My only (really long) chance of winning is if you and @BlokchainB both go the same way and get it wrong, so I'm trying to wait all of you out in a game of chicken here.
reply
I'm not against 'winner takes all' but I like at least top three should be the winners.

๐Ÿ˜‚ What's gobbledygook btw??
My first zap failed. I don't know if it's you or me.
reply
Exactly. I have lots of practice.

I don't know. I'm confused and bitter about the Mets.
reply
Yes, it was a tough pill to swallow. If they had won, I would have also won this challenge. I'll still go with NY's team. I've a strong feeling Dodgers are gonna make it very difficult for Yankees but ultimately Yankees will lead to glory. Fingers crossed.
reply
Noted.
You can't win but you can still improve your standing. Moral victories.

Exactly.

Yankees in 7, god help me. Impossible to win, alas.

Dodgers in 7
reply
Thought you might forget in your effort to wait everyone else out. This is also my prediction so you are assured defeat. Haha
reply
I would have preferred Dodgers in 6, but it is what it is.

Dodgers in 6. Should have posted my NLCS prediction because I was right about it.
reply
No one has picked Dodgers in 6 yet so at least you will have bragging rights for being first if it is corret.
reply
Is this open to anyone?
reply
Yes but this is the final of 4 rounds so itโ€™s not possible for a new entrant to win as the leader has 24 points and the most you can score in the World Series is 12 points. But if you want to submit a pick for fun and bragging rights, have at it.
reply
Got it. Thanks

Yankees in 4, why not....
reply
Ok but you didn't play the first 3 rounds so it is not possible for you to win as the leader has 24 points and you at most could get 12 so all you are playing for is bragging rights.
reply
that's OK...

I've picked very early I think. To win I need to pick the opposite of all others. Can I change before the deadline?
reply
Yes you can
