So the results are out and winners got between 11 to 13 correct picks. I got a measly 8 (also lost the toss like you guys above me haha), so my lesson is: if I pick randomly, I can get about 50% of them right haha. 49ers won, I can see from trending hashtags, but I'll never understand the game.

Well done @JinKuang whoever you are in the leaderboard;)

My picks, for posterity:

Unlucky buwaytress,

We have a few more Watford promotions coming up.. you are on red hot form with those!

Steve!

I really should start to learn more about Super Bowl and how to play it. It looks so confusing,,, but the half time shows are nice to see;)

Other than football/soccer,,, what is the most popular team sport in the world in terms of watching views and of gambling? I always wondered if it was cricket or basketball. I just watched the latest movie from Adam Sandler: Uncut Gems. He bets all on basketball.

The most popular sport in the world is football/soccer and the second most popular one is, like you guessed is cricket.

I'll be honest. I haven't got a goddamn idea why cricket is so popular. I always thought the second most popular sport was basketball till I see that list few years ago... Didn't even know cricket existed before that.

You are right Cricket is like a religion in India and IPL their T20 league which is among the Top 6 leagues in the world. Mzhansi Superleague of South Africa and Big Bash League of Australia all got inspired by the IPL. BCCI the Indian cricket board is the richest cricket board in the world even than the ICC which is the International Cricket Council similar to FIFA in football. The major cricket playing and following nations are South Asian countries apart from it Australia, England and New Zealand.

Yeah,

Participation wise, Cricket is huge! Ive played a bit myself and its a unique game!

If you want to see a funky Indian sport... youtube : KABADDI
