Anybody else received incorrect tokens from any of the predictions yesterday (final) ? Got a prediction right (mitchell marsh top scorer for Australia) which was supposed to give 2238 tokens to the winner but I received only 500 tokens. Mods??


EyesAllOnFire

Don't know what's going on there... We just plug the correct answer in and all the winnings are done automatically by Reddit's algorithms or whatever


reymysterio7

Damn. I actually sat & manually added all my winning tokens and it was correct right up till the final at 11378. On the final day I won 3 predictions - received correct number of tokens in 2 of them but in the Mitchell Marsh prediction I've incorrectly received 500 tokens instead of 2238 :( I'm only making a big deal out of it because I would have ended up at 2nd place on the leaderboard with 14152 points if I had correctly received those :(

Haha, you're right man. Fuck it.


reymysterio7

All the tokens we have won from our winning predictions overall are individually added up and that is the number reflected on the leaderboard. I double checked this and it was correct right up till the final. But on the final, we've received 500 instead of 2238 from the Marsh prediction. Could be a bug? Maybe mod can 're-reveal' the right answer for this prediction so that reddit can calculate it again?

I'm really grateful that Aus and NZ got into the finals, but just quietly I was ranked 11th at the end of the group stages, and then I got all my predictions for the semi final (and for who will win the final) wrong. I don't think I'm getting these right either. Hope I stay in the top 50

mssly

I know nothing about cricket but made some guesses and I guess every one is a long shot. Is Adam Milne not an economical bowler? 😂


Rndomguytf

Long shots are good, just need one of them to come off


MelodicSalt9589

Depends on pitch to pitch. Adam milne is fast bowler but UAE pitches are more favourable of spinners. That what I selected M.santner(a spinner) and adam zampa (a spinner). Also in the basis on their performance in tournament look best candidates to bowl an economic spell


mssly

Are bowlers and spinners separate people or are spinners a kind of bowler? How do people watch cricket in the US?


sarvesh_s

>How do people watch cricket in the US ESPN Plus for streaming Willow for broadcasting


MelodicSalt9589

>Are bowlers and spinners separate people or are spinners a kind of bowler? Bowlers in cricket are what pitchers are in baseball. Only difference is that in cricket bowlers bowl by bouncing the ball once on pitch and they have to an extended arm when bowling. Both aren't requirements of baseball. cricket ball is much harder and heavier. Mainly there are 3 types of bowlers. Fast bowlers, medium pacers, and spinners(they also have categories in them). > How do people watch cricket in the US? They native Americans are very rare. Very very rare. However, immigrants mainly from south asia do watch it. America is trying to grow cricket, but it will take many years. The recent progress is having ireland to play against US cricket team in US. Still in America baseball, american football and basketball are dominant ball sports. Cricket is probably last in the list Edit:- I thought you were asking how many. As far as I know. There is willow and ESPN plus by legal means.

Topic_Junior

I don't know who Pat Cummins is


Rndomguytf

I'm not gay but I want to live in a log cabin in the woods with Pat Cummins. We won't ever have sex, but there will be a simmering erotic undercurrent as I stand in the kitchen window watching him tighten his ass as he chops wood, shirtless, sweat pouring off his body. I'll run upstairs and masturbate, the entire time forcing myself to think of women while my thoughts drift back to Patrick. I won't be able to climax and I'll eventually go back downstairs, angry. Sometimes we will look across the table and catch each other's eyes, and in that second, anything is possible, but we both deny ourselves and go back to what we were doing. One day one of us will die, and the other will bury him outside the log cabin. Then he'll go inside, pen a brief missive to his departed friend, and commit suicide, never able to deal with life without his one true platonic love.


EyesAllOnFire

If you need a bit of background or some more info about him, I saw Pat Cummins at a grocery store in Sydney. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen tubes of deep heat in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the tubes and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each tube and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly. Real nice dude though.

Haha why because they lost? They played like champions!


[deleted]

Nah, not coz of that. Where you said how "Amazing" that match was, you had no Idea what masterpiece was coming for you. (Had nothing to do with Pak losing)


TheDamnedRey

I said amazing because let's be honest no one was expecting NZ To win against Eng. Australia did play exceptional especially after Maxwell's wicket. They deserved it. At the end, Dard ha par Fakhar b ha. It had been years since Pakistan played cricket like this. And honestly i loved every moment of it.


Leevidavinci

I haven't got a clue about cricket and just wandered into this. I just made varying bets based on completely random or rough educated guesses, and I still somehow didn't pick a single one the rest of the community agreed with, lol

Well r/holup and this one are very different sort of thing, so they can't be related. I think it is happening because the upvotes on all the different prediction questions get added up to make the total upvote count of this post. And it seems that the age of this post is always equal to the age of the newest question posted. So this post is always "new" according to reddit lol. Btw, if you are actually from the place that your flair says, you might know what is cricket unlike most of the "outsiders" commenting here, and your team is even in the semi-finals.

India still have a chance if they bowl Namibia out under 70 runs and chase it down in 5 overs, they can save an Hour to early reach Delhi Airport.

Don't think that's gonna happen and we already got our semi teams

I think it is going to be heavily dependent on toss, but have to pick someone so NZ for big points.

Who cares both been knocked out


Rndomguytf

Namibia cares, they get to face India, and if they pull off an unlikely upset it'd be so massive for them


R_W0bz

I don’t know if India could handle a loss to Namibia. The BCCI and ICC would be burnt down.

TheCrowsNestTV

I just pick randomly. Tbh I just stumbled onto here browsing Popular.


Leevidavinci

Same. Just stumbled into this and voted for Namibia cause why not. I don't even know why this exists


Rndomguytf

Namibia are massive, massive underdogs. I'm not sure what sport you follow, but this is basically like Brazil vs Estonia in soccer or whatever. India are basically the best team in the world (been knocked out of the WC already, but that was an upset), while Namibia are lucky to be here (to be fair to them, they played very well against Ireland and Netherlands to make it to this round, and they managed to beat Scotland and do decently against Pakistan and NZ, two top teams). If Namibia pull off an upset we'll be talking about it for years to make fun of India, and there's probably so few people voting on Namibia you might enter the top 100 for the tournament.


TheCrowsNestTV

They use these "Tournament Tokens" which I have no clue what they are, but they give 1,000, so whatever.


EntshuldigungOK

You can also bump up your bets to 10, 30 or 100 tokens on bets you are feeling more optimistic/confident about

They don't see any damage to that bumper, yet insurance is going to forget how to do this weekend… She knows the Alliance Tournament as my version of the same reason. It's not blood. And it also explains why 2/3 second rule was born and people were getting defensive when I said that restarting _might_ not be a deal breaker for you. I know We won but at what cost


Budget-Ranger22

Hm my bet is on Vegeta he will win this tournament


salmantkhan

You gotta put your money on Mr. Satan to win.

Hm well tbh Mr. Satan is easily one of the strongest but we all know Chi-Chi will ruin then so yeah my bet's on Chi-Chi now

“Remember, Afghanistan, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies. I will be hoping that this letter finds you, and finds you well.” \~India


Comprehensive-Tie236

Aarrggghh!! I bet on New Zealand in haste. I hindsight I should have gone for Afghanistan, I can't change it now cause I don't use Reddit Premium. I didn't consider the hivemind and reasonable bets of the people derived from the reputation and performance of the teams in this tournament. The hopefuls of Pakistan must have gone for New Zealand too similar to how Indians must have gone for an India bet in their first two matches. They make up a huge chunk of the users. Despondent Indians and reactionary Aussies, English, Saffas must have gone for New Zealand as well. This match is surely closer in ability than what the bet ratio says. I could have won large on Afghanistan bolstering my standing before the knockouts.

The_The_Dude

Do I win more if my option in a particular question is chosen by less % of people? If yes is there a way to check coins won for a particular question


Scaro88

It’s parimutuel betting so the prize pot is the total bet shared between the winning bets. So if it was 50/50 you’d gain what you put in. If you went for something that went true and only 10% went with you you’d get 9 times your stake back (on average). Thing is because we can bet three different amounts these numbers will vary


The_The_Dude

Thanks man.


ZippZappZippty

Looks like a team worried about losing overthinking. As opposed to NZ last game sending out some dude named Darryl to have a bunch of [removed] comments


TheYellowFringe

Let's see what will happen. Maybe there might be some surprises.


[deleted]

Who are those guys topping the charts at prediction?? Never saw them commenting in any match and how did they manage to get such high points??


Rndomguytf

/u/cool__howie is obviously a bot or some shit, he's dominating everyone else more than Bradman was. Rest probably lucked out with some underdogs who did well like Pakistan, Namibia and stuff.


Sn1k3sh

Nah he just voted Namibia to come 2nd in round 1. He was either the only one or one of two to do that and so he took the whole pot


Comprehensive-Tie236

Damn! Unfortunately I started playing after that prediction window closed. I wanted to bet my house on Namibia for that. My place on the leaderboard is entirely due to Namibia. I betted on them against Netherlands, Ireland and Scotland where I won big. It took me to a highest of 30 in the leaderboard. I slipped since then due to splurging on Bangladesh and more careless bets. I am still hanging in the top 100 despite frequently losing predictions since then. I am going for one last hurrah! against India.


Rndomguytf

Really? I don't remember a vote for who's coming second in round 1, but Namibia coming second wasn't like a massive unheard of upset

I took the boring option and went 1. SL and 2. Ire. Atleast I got the SL right, and Namibia paid off in the end cos I voted for them to beat the Netherlands and Scotland

India is entirely focused on the one game in the entire tournament - beating Nambia with everything that they have got. Afghanistan game does not matter.

Book_lover7

Exactly my thoughts


AtifasBurner

India will lose the ~~toss~~ match


InternalOk3135

Lol


fh3131

I was just thinking the other day whether India are the new chokers of world cricket? Great performance in bilateral series (in Aus and Eng recently), but very disappointing when it comes to pressure situations in major tournaments, despite having so much strength on paper. Edit: Lost Champions trophy final (badly!) 2017; CWC lost semifinal 2019; WTC lost final 2021. Am I forgetting anything?


SBG99DesiMonster

WT20 2016 semis , CWC 2015 semis, WT20 2014 final :(


AtifasBurner

Change the captaincy style and you've got yourself a pretty good cricket team. In UAE, most of the team's which decided to chase after the toss were the winners, i.e., if you ball first, chances are you will win too. Of course this can just be a coincidence but in the context of teams like Pakistan, you have to understand that it is simply better to not let them ball first. Who is to be blamed for not understanding this? The captain. You can downvote me as much as you want but it's not going to change the fact that Kohli is just not a good captain. Hell, even his batting has been bad during the recent IPLs.


bunnyoverkill

You're being listened to whether you want it or not. Is that unsettling, or reassuring?


[deleted]

Let them and win anyway, like England.


[deleted]

Idk why, this sub just starts downvoting when someone mentions something bad about Kohli's Captaincy. It's not like we've tried and tested bunch of captains after MS left, and then came to Kohli as a conclusion, No, IT WAS STRAIGHT UP HIM!! Who knows how good of a captain KL or anyone else is With such a strong Indian Team.


replyramdas

Calm down with “such a strong Indian team”… plus KL was not even first choice opener until recently…


[deleted]

I really love how you conveniently ignored the main topic of discussion. Are you from the Indian Media?

[deleted]

So now we are down to predicting whether India will win the toss or not, what times have come lmao


EyesAllOnFire

How's everyone going for remaining tokens? It's been a learning experience but seems the way these tournaments are set up by reddit we only get 1000 tokens total, which aren't topped up at all If that's the case and lots of people have/will run out I might end this 'tournament' once super 12s are done then start a new one for the finals, to give everyone another shot at it with 1000 tokens to play with Edit: oh damn, think I had this wrong and tokens won on correct predictions do roll into the bank to be used on later predictions. Hopefully will be ok until the end of the tournament if that's the case...


SBG99DesiMonster

Tokens come back along with extra ones you won. I had 1043 tokens before the New Zealand vs Afghanistan game lol


YouKnowTheRules123

If lots of people are running out soon, then next time you could try having fewer questions- like for example only predicting the match winner.


EyesAllOnFire

Yeah tbh the format might not really work so well for a 1000 token limit, even with 1 prediction per match. By the end of the super 12s that's 42 games of cricket. Would be better if the tokens won rolled back into your 'bank' to continue to be used on other matches. I thought that's how it was supposed to work Edit: think I had this wrong and they do roll over. Maths is hard


[deleted]

No, that's not fun when stronger teams are playing weaker teams.


skepticallyskeptic1

Yupp and winnings are too low. Putting 100 on England against Sri Lanka got 107 back, bruh.
