On episode 25 we had a broad ranging sports discussion.

This episode has everything: NFL rule changes, fixing tanking in the NBA, March Madness, new baseball bats, cricket pseudo fantasy and MLB fantasy, Aussie Rules, and all our contest action.

Buckle in and hold on to your butts.

You forgot to mention this episode ends with a totally true @Aardvark sports fact.

Since we never forget to include one, it goes without saying.

freebitco.in is back and I had an extra 500 sats when it came back. I am guessing I won a soccer bet while it was down and it wasn't a free gift.

I was talking to @supercyclone this morning and we were bemoaning the Texas Tech loss and I realized that due to the structure of the contest it will only come down to the top two players in the finals. That's unfortunate.

Oh, yeah. That didn't occur to me either. Well, we should see more wild desperation picks, then.

It was better with football because the point total also got you points. Here there are only two options so first place takes one and second place takes the other and then it doesn't matter what anyone else picked because they can't possibly surpass either of the top 2.

What if we make the picks in secret and I just reveal them 1 hour before the game? At least then there is a possibility some of the top players will make the same picks.

That might be too hard for some international contestants. I like the idea, though.

Maybe keep the points for winning at 8 and then have 8 points for spread or total.

That might work.

Or maybe the finals should just come down to the final two but that kind of defeats the purpose of escalating the points to 16.

Seems like I'll have to listen your intelligent inputs on Cricket fantasy 😜 I was eying to improve my MLB fantasies though.

@Undisciplined did imply he has a strategy for cricket fantasy but did not reveal it.

And I won't. Last time I revealed my cricket strategy on the pod, my performance went completely to shit.
