We have two final four games tonight.
Florida vs Auburn and Houston vs Duke.
There are markets for both games up on Predyx for those of us that want to live bet the games. Thanks @mega_dreamer

A lot of people on Houston in the Points Challenge! An upset could upend the whole contest.
Enjoy the games!
Houston Stuns Duke with the best ever comeback in (my) Basketball History.
But seriously! The market was closed about 2 to 5 minutes before the match ended.

Yes. I got stuck with 35,000 No shares. Haha
Come on don't go whinning, I also had full bag stuck there... Haha.
@Undisciplined has sold everything I guess?
Not whining but I did lose all the profit I made on the first game.
Haha 😂 the same here. I too lost around 1k I won in the first match.
Anyways it was a very interesting game. I never thought basketball could be so much unpredictable. I've to agree it's so close to cricket in this regard.
Both of those games were really good. I like this idea of a game of the week when we can all get together and watch at the same time and bet on predyx. We have to do a cricket match one day
Yeah, it's quite fun 😊
Cricket match is no lesser interesting than BB. I guess @mega_dreamer has already given it a thought.
There's just one big problem that most matches will be early in the morning by your time. The sports from US are also very late for me but I'm too good at managing my sleep.
I was trying to buy more Yes, when it shut down.
Same here. And I kept trying till the last moment then looked up to find the market was closed!! 🤣 I'm feeling dumb..
Sorry guys that the market closed 2 to 5 earlier. Once we have our real-time sports markets ready, these problems would not occur.
I resolved this market to YES.
It was an incredible comeback.
BetPlay is letting me down for the first time. Hopefully they can find a stream.
It's not on regular television?
I'm not some Boomer who has regular television. I watch all my sports through a shady online casino.
There must be a free stream of these games somewhere.
I haven't looked yet.
Edit: BetPlay has a feed up, but it froze after a couple minutes.
Zoomer on food stamps
edit: I mean EBT
Who can say?
so you are a boomer with black/white TV, let me guess RCA
I will neither confirm nor deny any of these allegations.
12 turnovers by Auburn in second half
Florida's depth and Auburn fatigue were also factors in the second half
Definitely. Florida D was much better in the second half.
can florida beat duke? I think so but duke has a very strong roster and defense
Can Duke beat Houston? Probably but they have to do that first before they can play Florida.
I picked Duke so they will probably lose lol
I plan to get a perfect zero
That would be an accomplishment.
a singular achievement in futility
Two other players have 0 and stillstackin didn't pick so he will stay at 0. Car has 0 and Houston so one of you will be staying at 0.
I feel like the white sox
Haha
Spoiler Alert: (By my one match experience)
Florida will only be chasing Auburn in the 2nd half.
My another 0 is confirmed.
Florida can come back but they need to play much better D.
My experience says Florida have already surrendered ; )
This match isn't live so I'm not watching. It seems this has longer half time than the NBA match I watched.
Both are 15 minutes.
Seeeeeeeems longer!
So, Bathe sketball schedule is like 20 (15) 20, which mean 49 minutes of gametime. It's pretty less
They play 2 20 minute halfs in college. In NBA they play 4 12 minute quarters.
Thanks.
Florida seems to habe made a come back already!
Yes close game now.
can you tell us about your experience?
I like how Auburn's looking so far.
Florida can't stop Broome.
It's not good if you can't stop an injured 6'4" power forward. Unless Broome is the next Round Mound of Rebound, of course.
I think he is 6'10
The camera must subtract 6" (I'm sure there's a joke in there somewhere).
That's what she said.
Very generous of her.
but they did in the second half
Broome got hurt or tired in the second half
double jinx
Entertaining first half. I just wish the fouls were consistent. Granted I don’t know much about basketball
I think Florida was playing a bit out of control and it cost them a couple calls.
the officials were terrible in the last 9 minutes, 3 terrible calls against Florida
Brutal.
It felt like the officials were pulling for auburn
or the powers that be gave the order
at least 3 terrible calls against florida
the one replay flagrant foul challenge by florida's coach was dumb, lost a timeout but didn't matter
I can't believe Duke lost and I have 0 points lol
You know, the Iditarod has a prize for the person who makes it to the end last.
You called it.
Did @Undisciplined miss the deadline?
Let's go Florida!!
You wish
Haha no. He picked early after he saw my miss in the T20k

Isn't this a football school lol
Clayton already making his presence felt.
he is the best player on the floor
Looks like we might have a high scoring game on our hands.
Holy shit
And you are now in first place.
Wow
I will pick Florida
I have zero points after 5 games
Unfortunately I missed that game, hopefully there will be another time.
