Australian Open 2013 Prediction Game - FIN (Drew. & IheartBB win)

[Marc]

Aw :( I hope the pain goes quickly!

[BigSister]

Thanks this is the second time so it isnt as bad. Just sore

[Locke.]

Hold up does your winner prediction actually count???? I was just playing about when I picked mine

Not giving me correct points not telling me the correct rules Marc am I missing something here?? Your nearly as bad as Andy

VERY TRUE LK I was not aware they were serious and think they should be discredited

[Legend killer]

Marc is the Sepp Blatter of the Prediction league very sneaky indeed my dear chap

Azarenka [1] vs. Stephens [29] - Azarenka in 3
Li [6] vs Sharapova [2] - Sharapova in 3
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Djokovic [1] vs. Ferrer [4] - Djoko in 3

[MTVN]

Have to agree with you LK, corruption appears to be rife

[MTVN]

I'm sure if my score was independently checked I would be somewhere near the top

[Jordan.]

Azarenka [1] vs. Stephens [29] - Azarenka in 2
Li [6] vs Sharapova [2] - Sharapova in 2

Djokovic [1] vs. Ferrer [4] Djokovic in 4

[Maia]

Chardy vs. Murray [3] Murray in 4
Tsonga [7] vs. Federer [2] Federer in 3
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Azarenka [1] vs. Kuznetsova Azarenka in 2
Williams [3] vs. Stephens [29] Williams in 2

Going against my instinct for the Federer match think that could be 4 or even 5 sets, but I never learn do I - hopefully it will pay off this time though!!

[Novo]

So in the Women's side.. Drew, Myself and IheartBB can win
On the Men's side.. pretty much anyone in the Top 7

[Marc]

I'll do a scenario thing now :laugh:

[Marc]

Women's Winner Scenarios

Drew. - will win if he correctly guesses the winner and number of sets or scores higher than IheartBB.
IheartBB - will win if Drew fails to score and he correctly guess the winner and the number of sets, and in doing so scores maximum points.
wannashag/Marc/BlackDagger/BigSister/Jordan. - all can not win, but are all fighting to finish in the top 3. Jordan will get a bonus 10pts if Azarenka wins
Novo - despite having a bonus 10 points if Azarenka wins, can only finish top 2 at the most (a total of 15pts available for him if Azarenka wins and he correctly guesses the number of sets that she wins in).
He will finish top 2 if IheartBB fails to score any points and the above scenario occurs
Wildcat! - will lose regardless..
MTVN/Locke - Both fighting to not be the losing (active) player, if Locke fails to score any points and MTVN scores the maximum 5 points, Locke will lose. If Locke scores 2pts and MTVN scores the maximum points, then it will be a tie and will come down to who has scored the most overall to decide. If Locke/MTVN score the same or Locke scores higher then MTVN will lose.

It's Drew's to lose here. It's more exciting at the bottom tbh

[Marc]

So yeah :idc: you can't win Novo :laugh:

[Novo]

Oh i thought it was 20 points for each Winner :idc:

[Marc]

Nope, it clearly states 10pts :idc:

[Novo]

Vika will still get me 10 points anyway :idc:

[Novo]

What about if you predict both outright Winners.. should be an extra 10 points on each draw for the double :pipe:

[Jordan.]

Thank you Nole for the full points :worship:

Still possible to win the mens as long as the Murray/Federer prediction is spot on and no above scores anymore points...

[Black Dagger]

What about if you predict both outright Winners.. should be an extra 10 points on each draw for the double :pipe:

Well you haven't put Li down, hard luck, maybe the FO will bring you more luck :pipe:

[Novo]

Prepared to Defend.
Ready to Repeat.

:pipe:

[MTVN]

I don't like this game

[Black Dagger]

Murray [3] vs. Federer [2] (4 SETS)

[MTVN]

Murray in 3

[BigSister]

I rather finish in top 3 than win ^_^

Murray [3] vs. Federer [2] Fed in 5

(BTW win win if Murray wins yay if fed wins i get points)

[Alf]

Murray [3] vs. Federer [2] Murray in 4

[Legend killer]

Murray [3] vs. Federer [2] Fed in 4

Head vs Heart moment.

Head say's Andy. Let's be totally honest Roger is not going to be 100% out there and if he loses the first set it's game over

Heart says Roger if he is able to reach0.00001% of GOAT mode even in his fatigued state Andy will be sent hope in straight sets with a couple of bagels beside his name

IN ROGER WE TRUST

[Marc]

Federer [2] vs. Murray [4] - Murray in 4

[Drew.]

as much as i want Andy to win, the predictions have taken over how i want the outcome to be.. do it for me Fed!

Murray [3] vs. Federer [2] the King Fed in 4

[Locke.]

Federer in 5

[Jordan.]

Murray in 3

[Marc]

Federer [2] vs. Murray [4] - Murray in 4

as much as i want Andy to win, the predictions have taken over how i want the outcome to be.. do it for me Fed!

Murray [3] vs. Federer [2] the King Fed in 4

My chance....

[Maia]

Djokovic digging my bloody grave :idc:

[Drew.]

My chance....

i think im the only one who predicted Federer to win the tournament so if he looses tonight then i'm out :p

[Alf]

i think im the only one who predicted Federer to win the tournament so if he looses tonight then i'm out :p
I'm the only one with Murray, so i'm in the same situation as you, iheartbb already has Djokovic there.

so it's likely the end of the line for one of us. your gonna win the woman's anyway.

[Drew.]

I'm the only one with Murray, so i'm in the same situation as you, iheartbb already has Djokovic there.

so it's likely the end of the line for one of us. your gonna win the woman's anyway.

One of us will be victorious tonight! If Murray beats Fed he will have my full support in the final
i'd love to win the woman's one, i hope i don't throw it away with the final game :pipe:

[Maia]

Murray [3] vs. Federer [2] Murray in 4

In 5 is very tempting but not going to risk it

[Alf]

what time do these scores get locked in?, iIheartbb hasn't posted the score yet, what time does the game start?, if iheartbb dosn't post i might make a tactical change to my score.

[IheartBB]

Nearly forgot again *facepalm* but the match doesn't start til 8am so :P

Murray [3] vs. Federer [2] Murray in 5

Hardest match to predict. I really wouldn't be surprised with any result.

[Alf]

get in Murray, gives me a shot at the title.

may the best man win Iheartbb

[Maia]

Murray [3] vs. Federer [2] Murray in 4

In 5 is very tempting but not going to risk it

Should've just bloody risked it :idc:

[BigSister]

win win again for me. Although im too out of contention to win in mens.

[Maia]

Too little too late for me could've done with some of those 5 pointers earlier on

Well done Drew on your first award!!!!! :D

[Marc]

Day 14 Picks:
Djokovic [1] vs. Murray [3]

[Marc]

Too little too late for me could've done with some of those 5 pointers earlier on

Well done Drew on your first award!!!!! :D

We're tied on the overall one but I'm alphabetical first so :idc: you should change your username to AAAAaaaaMollie or something

[Maia]

We're tied on the overall one but I'm alphabetical first so :idc: you should change your username to AAAAaaaaMollie or something

:laugh2: Think that might be an idea

[Marc]

If Novak wins it'll be the first time since 2010 Australian Open that both #1 seeds have won a Grand Slam

[Drew.]

Awesome! :hugesmile: im genuinely shocked i managed to win it considering i dont know much about woman's tennis

Too little too late for me could've done with some of those 5 pointers earlier on

Well done Drew on your first award!!!!! :D

Thanks Mollie!!! :love:


Congratulations Drew. you have fought back the challenge of everybody else and you will be awarded http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forums/images/medals/tennisicon.gif when the Australian Open is over.


Great stuff, thanks Marc :hugesmile:

[Novo]

Can't believe i thought it was 20 points for the Winner.. started predicted stupid results like Maria K taking a set from Serena, i have learnt my lesson for next time

[MTVN]

Think you will find the final was a 5 pointer for me Marc

[Marc]

Men's Scoreboard Scenarios:

IheartBB wins if Djokovic wins.
wannashag wins if Murray wins.

Pretty simple really :p

[Alf]

Well done Drew

[Alf]

If Murray wins then i win, so i may as well guarantee myself at least 2 points by going for Djokovic.

Djokovic [1] vs. Murray [3] Djokovic in 4

[IheartBB]

Well done Drew!

Men's Scoreboard Scenarios:

IheartBB wins if Djokovic wins.
wannashag wins if Murray wins.

Pretty simple really :p

Well there will be a silver lining to Djokovic winning for me then :joker: But I'm still going to be cheering for Murray :tongue:

[Drew.]

Well done Drew

Gracias my friend :)
Murray will have my full support tomorrow

[Drew.]

Well done Drew!

Well there will be a silver lining to Djokovic winning for me then :joker: But I'm still going to be cheering for Murray :tongue:

thanks :D
Good luck for the mens final :pipe:

[IheartBB]

Hoping for a repeat of the US Open final and going for - MURRAY IN 5 :dance2:

[Locke.]

Djokovic in 3 sets

[Realitybites]

Nole in 4 tight sets :)

Sent from my U8180 using Tapatalk 2

[Marc]

A late comer looking to score a maximum of 5 points :D

Make sure you join the French Open Prediction game in May :)

[Marc]

I want Murray to win but I don't see him winning, Djokovic in 4

[MTVN]

Murray in 3

[Marc]

Very good Matthew

[Locke.]

Are the points we've won here carrying over in the French Open? (or the overall ones at least)

[Marc]

No.

[Marc]

I may tot them up at the end of the year, if I can be bothered.

[Jordan.]

Djokovic in 5

[Novo]

Are the points we've won here carrying over in the French Open? (or the overall ones at least)

Would be a good idea actually

[MTVN]

Terrible idea

[BigSister]

Djoko in 4
Oh and thanks to marc for running this. Ill be playing the other 3 grand slams for sure.

[Drew.]

And it comes to an end. Murray in 5

[Maia]

Well, for my final prediction I am going to say

Djokovic in 4

[Novo]

Djokovic in 5

[Alf]

Congratulations Iheartbb


and thank you and well done to Marc for running the game

[Maia]

Nice to finish off the game with a couple of full rounds, feel quite proud

Thank you Marc for hosting this it has been a brilliant game <3

[Locke.]

Time to forget this ever happened, delete the thread MTVN

[MTVN]

Yep tournament's over, let's all move on

[Maia]

Let's not do that please thank you

[Novo]

Myself and Jordan were the only ones to predict both Outright Winners, does that make us the real Champions?

[Drew.]

well done iheartbb :) good job hosting this and thanks Marc it was a fun few weeks!

[Maia]

No

[Novo]

Poor Drew

[Drew.]

Poor Drew

What happened? :o

[Maia]

You have fallen from top 3

[Drew.]

top of the leader board for 2 weeks and iv fallen as the last stage. :(

[MTVN]

Think next time there should be less of a difference between the points you get for the right result and those you get for the right number of sets, a lot easier to get the right number of sets than it is to get the right score in the football predictions

[Locke.]

Very good point

[Alf]

The darts premier league starts in a couple of weeks, i hope someones gonna run a game for that (nudge nudge, wink wink), give us something to look forward to on Thursday nights.

[MTVN]

Would run that but not sure if it'd get enough interest
