Match 1: IPL โ Kolkata Knight Riders vs Chennai Super Kings
https://me.webcric.com/ipl-2025-live-cricket-streaming.htm
Chennai Super Kings won Match 1
I didnโt copy-paste. Haha!
Well, one question rose in my head. What if the main playtime ends with a draw? I have no idea about the NBA, but in Football, itโs often happened. In cricket, a tie is not rare.
If a match ends in a tie, no points are awarded for that match. Hockey games end in ties as well, but not in the playoffs.
With football, draws are quite common so in my opinion, it should be available as an outcome. I think that PSG v. Arsenal will end in a draw.
To avoid that, you could make it a "handicap" market so it could be Arsenal +0.5 - meaning that if it ends in a draw, Arsenal +0.5 is the winner.
That's a fair point. If you predict it, though, it has to end in a draw, or you won't be eligible for the bonus either. I'm not sure if everyone will grasp the handicap idea, but I'm open to discussion on what works.
If you're happy to accept draws, then there's no need for the handicap ๐

I rarely Resteem anything and don't like this as a mandatory element of entry.
I've found that without the upvote element, not everyone will upvote the post, but will do everything else to enter the contest in hopes of avoiding it. I've posted a pretty hefty prize pool and three equally hard-to-predict matches/games, so I hope no one views this as spam.
I've never used the resteem element before and was trying it out. I've removed that as a requirement, though...you're right, that should be optional.
I can't understand why anybody would do that. I suppose that the best counter to that is to put a portion of each post into a prize pool - incentivising people to vote rather than making it mandatory.
Come to think of it, I can probably guess who those people are.
I didn't even look at the prize pool - I just want to win ๐
I heard that. Any winnings I have, I'm donating to the community for further growth. I'm with you, I want to win as well.
Sounds good - I don't think I'll be winning this week ๐
Yeah, me either. However, we do have a chance to climb back into it today. Only one person even scored a point in round 1.
Well I can't imagine anybody predicted Southampton to get a draw without conceding a goal! They haven't kept a clean sheet all season so that came as a massive surprise!
