Rags to riches, riches to rags. Never mix pleasure with business. Well this was my story.
Now the IPL. KXIP were seeming to be qualified. The first game showed that, strengthened the guess. Now the second game, GL had to cross the 10pts mark (DD already did). Anyone could win, but since DD had beaten GL previously in the innocuous match, I sided with GL. But no, DD comes and wins at awkward time. MI KXIP: Punjab victory re-energized the prophesy, Mumbai well on course to top the league still. Then comes the epic decider match DD-RPS. RPS was already crowned the champions by me, and since RPS had a next game with Punjab, who were also to qualify, Pune had to win this tie. But grace of the bookies unpredictably (before the game, but predictable during the game) fell again on DD, this meant high potential of Punjab disqualification. But you can guess the reason for my prediction in RPS Punjab: a Punjab win. My top 4 were Pune, MI, SRH, Punjab, because never have both the finalist of the previous IPL qualified for knock-outs in the next IPL. This is why I had left KKR out, and also it was a fitting piece to the growing IPL algorithm. But this was the biggest failure of my not-yet-finished IPL algo. So the loss of the possible winners, Pune, to DD, changed the result of Punjab Pune: a KXIP loss leaving them stranded at 5th place. And the final match, as predicted RCB gave their fans something to smile for, but at the last over (has to happen).
