Re: The Official Soccer (Football) Thread
Alright guys so there's two matches in the Copa America tournament today. I asked my HM if Mexico was gonna win vs Ecuador and I got a YES on my 3rd spin.
I asked if Bolivia was gonna win today vs Chile and I got a YES on my 7th spin
What's shocking is that Bolivia is a huge underdog in their game against Chile, but at the same time, they tied 0-0 vs Mexico, and Mexico tied 3-3 vs Chile, so at the same time it's not utterly impossible for them to win given that they've shown good form thus far. However, Vegas disagrees with this and thinks Chile will win easily.
The Mexico vs Ecuador game is basically a Vegas pick em. So I thought this was a good measuring stick to test out my HM because both games have very different odds in regards to the expected outcomes by Vegas. What was peculiar is that my HM refused to give me an answer when I reversed the questions. So when I asked if Chile was gonna win, I got no answer, and likewise for Ecuador. Anyways, we'll see later today.

You should do the same test that XC and I did...AgentSmith wrote:Damn, yours is lying too.

I found 3,000 on the HM side alone and I think XC found a lot more but let's not forget about the SM side too which also has 1000s of LBs on that.
Looks like we won't get it easy.

#34 on the 4th spin, so thousands, and #9 on the second spin, for a total of 9000+

At least I got a YES on whether I can clean them up with a NAP.

Lol no worries Merlin!
Well looks like both of my HM's picks were wrong.
