Howzzat Cricket Lovers!
The round 8 of Cricket Pool has just finished and it's time we have a look at the results of matches/pool questions and pool standings.
(This post is published after every round of the pool to give you all a clear idea where you stand in the pool and form your strategy for the next round.)

The Results (Round 8)

Predict the winners
  • Winner: Thunder
  • Winner: Renegades
  • Winner: India
  • Winner: West Indies
Predict for Extra Runs
Q.1. Who will win the toss between West Indies and Bangladesh?
  • Bangladesh (Read the scorecard from the match link above)
Q.2. Will Kohli make Hundred runs (in both innings) against Australia? Answer with Yes or No.
  • Yes, he even made a century in the second innings.

Pool Standings (Round 8)

Pool Standings (Total Runs including Round 9)

Finally! Finally we have a jumbo! You all can see what a Jumbo prediction can do. All of a sudden @Undisciplined is leading @Carresan by 6 runs. Big win for him but @Carresan and stackers close to 30 points still have a chance. Who knows you get a Jumbo next round and @Undisciplined gets a big hit back to his stumps, you might be a winner in November. For all still much behind, you know your runs will carry forward for the yearly rewards, so it's just a month, the next month or the bigger prize is still achievable. (Also patting on my own back ;). *Hurrah! I've also got a Bingo!)

Pool Prize (Breakdown)

  • For November: 18685 Sats
  • For 2024-2025 Session (Annual Rewards: Distributed on Halloween 2025): 108685 Sats
Note: The reward Pool has included zaps from the round 9 post.
Thanks for playing.

Congrats @Undisciplined! But now, we are following you close!

Don't you remember "Watch your ass"? He actually made it a motive of his life to make you see his and now you're seeing. Ain't you?

Can I make an appeal to reduce some points for sledging? 🤣🤣
reply
No, but you can make an appeal for the opposite. The more you sledge, tbe better chances are there to get a wicket, you know.
Suppose, you sledge @Undisciplined so hard that he vanishes for a few rounds taking that on heart. Wouldn't that be a good strategy against him?
While playing Cricket for my university, I used to be a the best sledger and if not for my sledging skills they wouldn't have taken me in the team. (I also became captain at one point)

Hahaha, I will let the competition to decide the winner. Let's have some fun!
reply
No. You better sledge @undisciplined. Let me teach you why sledging is more important?
reply
20 sats \ 1 reply \ @Carresan 3h
Hahaha, I can see!
reply
Let's bring out the best sledging in the next 'I Predict Cricket' post against the boastful leader so he'll lose his control and ends up pickin all incorrect teams.
That's stretching the definition of "close", don't you think?

🤣, just to give you a bit of pressure. Though you have made a great come back and it's going to be difficult to reach you.

I'm dead!
reply
You shouldn't lose hope. We still have 11 months left. For every month there's a winner, you can win in any of them. You can also win the yearly reward.

Not for rewards, but damn my guessing skills! I lost the battle before it even started lol
reply
It just happens. It can happen to anyone. Guessing is just guessing. Anyone can be better or worse.

You're getting bigger and better with every round. Have you found some magic prediction maker pill that you swallow right before making them?
reply
I'm sure this is just an enormous buildup to a spectacular fall from grace.
reply
Showing modesty now! I'm gonna teach every player how to sledge to get you out in frustration.

I demand a recount on @Undisciplined's score. Something untoward is occurring.
reply
Oh come on! Please don't talk like Trudeau. This isn't untoward @Undisciplined has forever been like this. In the Olympics pool he was sitting at 4 till the very fag end but won it by making back to back correct predictions. If you want I can issue a "Code of Misconduct Notice" against him. It may be that he's fixing allor some of these matches with the teams.

I will give him credit. He seems quite good at predicting sports he doesn't know much about. Take his soccer betting as an example. He lost all his sats betting on Football and Basketball but won a lot sats betting on soccer.
He has won a bunch of pick 'ems but hasn't won any of the North American 4 major sports pools.
Maybe we need to do a podcast segment on why @Undisciplined is better at picking sports he doesn't know. Is he less biased, less emotionally attached, more driven by pure statistics and probabilities? The world needs to know.
reply
Btw, thanks to that new betting app that Blok recommended, my NBA losing streak is likely to resume.

Which one is that?

It looks like their odds on the Bucks got even juicier. They're almost 3-1 now.
reply
Credit to him for giving you an idea, yeah sure. But no credit for he's on top. You should better learn the skills of sledging.
We frustrate the set Batsmen by sledging him and that's how we take wickets in Cricket.
reply
That's a great idea. Remember when I was sweeping the UFC pick 'ems?
reply
46 sats \ 3 replies \ @grayruby 4h
Yes. I will bring back UFC pick 'ems in the NFL offseason.
@Kaffi was dominating the first few but then he disappeared and you took over as reigning, defending, undisputed champ.
I think @Coinsreporter will give you a run in UFC.
reply
I think @Coinsreporter will give you a run in UFC.
I don't like to run against the weak.
reply
You just said he was a great picker and now you are calling him weak?
reply
Hopefully I didn't learn too much about UFC from that guy telling everyone to read Mises.
reply
less biased, less emotionally attached, more driven by pure statistics and probabilities
This!
reply
Let's not forget my heroic near-comeback in the MLB pool. I allowed that one to get a bit too far out of hand, though.
reply
32 sats \ 0 replies \ @grayruby 4h
That was pretty impressive. Although I completely tanked the final week picking a team with 8 games in a week. Haha. But that was an awesome run.
reply
Maybe I just decided to stop holding back.

If that's the case I expect we will see hall of fame performances from you going forward.
reply
Not if it leads you all to improve. Iron sharpens iron.
reply
Nice, the first jumbo! I was wondering if we would get one this month. Hopefully I'll get the second. 😉
