Latest Odds Round 4!

Well all 7 of my picks made it safely to round 4 but 5 now face away draws in the last round where there is still HCA for a lucky 16 and 2 of them have been drawn together in arguably the tie of the round. (Asingratitos BC vs River Legends) With the worlds ranked 1,2,3,6,7,10 all drawn on the road, who will make it through to the sweet sixteen and the start of the Neutral court rounds??

81 Siam Paragon in the Land of Smiles v Dragons Back 181 - cant see Dragons Back wasting their HCA here despite Siams amazing defeat of Ice Storm last week.

2 Los Dragones 21/04/2010 19:00:00 Wanaka Warriors 11 - coin flip... great match up on paper and if Wanaka go outside again its going to mean Dragones may have to take a tactical risk or has he more power that we haven't seen before. I'm on the fence so I'll call for OT and then leave my prediction like this!

3 Sharman Globetrotters 21/04/2010 22:30:00 LUCKYJUMPERS 45 - no comment!

6 C.S Larrañaga 21/04/2010 22:30:00 Metallist Kharkov 54 - The Ukranians have enjoyed nice HCA throughout but I think this is a game too much for them. Larrañaga to prove too strong.

27 real-lima 21/04/2010 23:00:00 Legio X 141 - real-lima destroyed Hostivar last week and I think its fair to say they are the new team to want to avoid. I can't see Legio troubling them this week. real-lima to march on.

19 AJAX JAZZ 22/04/2010 HucJiaB 31 - Intriguing match up and I'll sit on the fence on this one too. OT.

72 C.B. Escanilla 22/04/2010 00:30:00 Shaq_ Attack 8 - Tough away draw for the Spaniards - HCA to prevail for Shaq.

167 eisen 22/04/2010 01:00:00 Nitra Corgons 26 - Another great match-up. HCA to sneak it for the Corgons - like many of the match-ups on a neutral court these type of games are impossible to pick winners from.

7 BC Törööö 22/04/2010 01:30:00 One Nation 37 - Swedes both at home again but you just can't bet against the big man from Canada!!

83 Luser 22/04/2010 01:30:00 bissy 20 - Coin flip again so I'll go for OT.

44 Gineitiskes 22/04/2010 01:30:00 Muljavci 47 - Muljavci won away by the narrowest of margins last week and got rewarded with a winnable home match against a very equally matched opponent and I think they will pick up the win based on the HCA.

10 BK TUKUMS 22/04/2010 01:30:00 KKS Chudzielce 112 - TUKUMS handed a tough away journey but this team is gathering speed and there are only a few teams that can match him now and a fighting KKS will I think come up short on the night.

198 Divos 22/04/2010 02:00:00 ESV Laim 5 - Laim were off the pace last week but at home I can't see beyond them this week. Divos had a great win away last week and didnt get the draw they were hoping for.

1 Asingratitos BC 22/04/2010 03:00:00 River Legends 21 - So, tie of the round. Can anyone dethrone the current number 1? This is about as close as it gets and Im not sure if Legends have maximum enthusiasm coming into the match but if they do and get this tactically correct then they can take advantage of the HCA handed to them. Asingratitos can score from anywhere so expect big swings and comebacks in this one. I'll stick my neck out and say Legends can sneak it by 2!

25 Atlético Bulls 22/04/2010 03:00:00 Ball Bouncers 137 - A team from Wales in the last 16 of a sporting event?? Well... quite possibly! Bulls have the experience Bouncers the HCA. Coin flip and OT to decide.

62 Mimino 22/04/2010 09:00:00 Heathens 39 - Awesome Outside defence from Heathens in recent weeks and I think this will snuff out the threat of Minimo who themselves with HCA would've fancied their chances but I go for Heathens in a very low scoring encounter.

Revised odds from last week.

BC Torooo - 7-1
BK TUKUMS - 15-2
real lima, CS Larranaga - 9-1
Dragons Back, ESV Laim - 10-1

Im not very happy with my GS. Despite taking huge care about my minutes i have to face triple proficient and strong GSed players without single proficient one. For ex. Swiatczak got 65, 61, 68 mins but remains at respectable. Finaly HCA for me ties this disadvantage i guess.. Eisen defeated Dragons back last friday so i face strong team. I am really curious to see how many top teams will win it away. What a day at BB today!

2 Los Dragones 21/04/2010 19:00:00 Wanaka Warriors 11 - coin flip... great match up on paper and if Wanaka go outside again its going to mean Dragones may have to take a tactical risk or has he more power that we haven't seen before. I'm on the fence so I'll call for OT and then leave my prediction like this!

What a prediction!

Well, no big surprises in this round in my opinion. Number 1 is out but he played with Legends in Spain, and i think that the greek isnt so powerfull than in the last season.

Now i am waiting the draw, only if im very lucky i will have chances to beat someone. All are excellent teams.

Yeah there really are no pushovers in the last 16. Although as you say there were no big surprises I was happy to predict 2 correct matches that went to overtime!! So with that it was 14/15 results on the money!!

Forecasting the final 8 will be fun - I can't imagine anyone getting the full 8 correct. When the draw is up perhaps a few others would like to make their predictions!

Well, now the draw has already happened..
Now it's the time of neutral arena matches. And still the favourites are going to meat in the further rounds.
I'll post my predictions on Tuesday, as the injuries and transfers can still happen.

oooHoo!

You think it's 14-1? Thanks!I think 32-1,maybe.
My team is the lowest world ranked team in the final 16.
But I don't think it's right.I've nothing to say about the world rank system.

Good luck everyone!

Go go,Asian power!

Your rank doesnt have anyone fooled!!!We got lucky this week that our game times mean we just have 1 enthusiasm update between our league and BB3 match. There is a healthy amount of teams from the West still left and despite neutral court we will still need luck! But I agree go go, Asian power!!

The ranking system considers your results of previous seasons, and doesn't consider your latest transfers :)

But last season I was the final 8.

I don't believe this...... :(

Khm, I see now, then it's really strange..
