Great job Sid, really comprehensive stuff.

Punters guide to season 29 continued

ThunderClap (107436) Cheapish roster with some gameshape issues and playing world number 1 first up. Looking elsewhere. 2500 to 1
Młoty Stargard (162788) sold a player yesterday and unless they buy another I cant see them winnning the tournament. Rankings out perform the value of the roster and the team needs to be respected 6 to 1
吉吉 (214561) Cheapish roster which lacks depth. Looking elsewhere 2500 to 1
I Love Tehran (146725) Proven past winner but has several players up for sale. Players might not sell given their asking price but even then the team would probably lack the depth to win this tournament 50 to 1
HGB Nerds (41937) solid roster with respectable depth and good game shape. Not sure that they have the class to win this tournament 50 to 1
Joué Basket Club (27378) Respectable roster with one injury but otherwise good game shape. Team is capable of some solid rankings but I cant see them winning this tournament 50 to 1
hopelessly addicted (38913) Manager hasnt recovered from loss to Boston Celtics in the round of 32 last season. Team has not been set for this tournament and has its most expensive player in poor gameshape which will probably cost it any chance of causing the upset in the first round. Playing a team with a 1.6 mill roster first up. 50 to 1
Eži (147335) 1.6 mill roster and obvious ambition to win this tournament at their first attempt ironically playing a team first up that tried to do something similar last season. one injury and one player with gameshape issues. Team is yet to put out the ratings required to win this tournament but has to be respected given the expense of the roster. Definite chance to go all the way if they dont run into insolvency issues 4 to 1
BK Astoria Lučenec (58545) Cheapish roster which although in good game shape doesnt appear to have the class to win this tournament. Looking elsewhere. 1000 to 1
the ragin stajans (33578) A 1.1 million roster with balance and depth and some solid player rating means that this team is in with a legitimate chance of progressing through the tournament. Likely to win through from the purple quarter of the draw. 7 to 2
Vottem Cowboys (37519) most expensive player has game shape issues which could expose their lack of depth. Cant see them progressing far in this tournament 40 to 1
Sokovichok (39417) Just under a mill in players salaries and has put out some respectable player ratings. I dont think they have the class to go all the way 20 to 1
Talentinho (92835) Not a hugely expensive roster and has one player with game shape issues. Had a wonderful draw in the round robin games which may have led to them being out of their depth at this stage of the tournament 1000 to 1
ESV Laim (26163) Past winner whos roster significantly falls away after the starting 5. Would need a lot of luck to progress far in this tournament but has a quality starting 5 in good gameshape. 20 to 1
|Sharpshooters| (24801) Moderate priced team with one injury and a little bit lack of depth. Dont think they have the quality of talent required to win this tournament 250 to 1
Minskie Parni (185844) Solid roster with good gameshape but possible lack of depth. Not good enough to go all the way 100 to 1

Quite sad to not be able to defend my chance against a legend team like Boston Celtics,

Thanks for the compliment and plus 1 to you

Ironic that the only 2 teams to have beaten me in B3 play each other in the first round.

Injuries have absolutely crippled you but I doubt that your team was good enough regardless. (To win the tournament)

Good luck with the rest of the season

Thanks for the positive feedback - plus 1 to you.

What do people think of the odds set, have I been too hard or too soft on any of the teams?


Have any teams made any last moment purchases or sales of significance?

Team salaries appear to total $1,031,596 which is up considerably from the salaries of $939,034 that they had at this stage last season . Edit after the sale of a player the team is down to $802,519 in salaries. Manager has probable cause to question my use of a calculator

I sell player 95k salary and my total salary down 1,031,596 to 802,519?
very strange

p.s. good job!

p.s. good job!

Thanks mate.

Your team is still capable of out performing a few of the teams with a couple of hundred K more in salaries.

Who are the 2 or 3 teams left that you rank the most likely to progress deep into the tournament?

Thanks for the outline and overall effort.

My prediction is Dutch Pacers, 猛牛, Mloty Stargard, the ragin stajans reach the semi-finals (If Dutch Pacers start selling players, replace Dutch Pacers with KS Goldena)
猛牛 and the ragin stajans reach the finals
猛牛 wins B3

Speculative odds and "punters guide" for this seasons B3

SUPERLIGOTA (55675) Respectable roster and good gameshapes. I dont expect them to beat airjordans.
33 to 1

KS Goldena (162456) Proven performer and solid roster. Roster is in good gameshape but currently lacks some depth- might struggle to get past the round of 16 unless they add to their squad. 12 to 1

Personally I don't any idea why Goldena has a lot bigger chances to win B3. Just look at BBB regular season standings and polish top division too...
Goldena has also lot of older players, I'm worried that this is their last campaign, and their value has to be much lesser than younger Superligota's. If Airsjordans will win their Top 32 match on Wednesday, we will probably see them in BBB quarterfinals at least.

However, Superligota can become a dark horse of this BBB season, and I can imagine their advance to QF, at least.
