Okay so yesterday I really wanted to win big on that MUL vs LAH Dream11 contest. Kept seeing ads for “winning prediction guides” everywhere. Thought maybe one actually works? Figured why not test it properly and write down everything I did.
Started with dumb Google searches
First I just typed “mul vs lah dream11 tips today” like an idiot. Got flooded with sites all screaming “100% WINNING TEAM!!!” in pop-up colors. Clicked three. First wanted payment upfront. Second asked for WhatsApp number. Third made me solve captcha forever then showed last week’s team. Wasted like 25 minutes.
Found their “mistake avoidance” section
Finally saw this guide claiming “avoid 5 common mistakes”. Their big warnings were:
- Don’t pick expensive wicketkeepers if they bat low
- Avoid out-of-form allrounders just because they’re cheap
- Check pitch reports BEFORE finalizing bowlers
Made sense honestly. Saved these points in my notes app.
Checked player stats manually
Guide said “trust recent form over past reputation”. Opened two tabs: MUL’s last match scorecard and LAH’s. Cross-checked bowling figures. Noticed two bowlers everyone hypes actually got smashed recently. Swapped them out for cheaper guys who took wickets last game. My credits felt balanced now.
The pitch report panic
30 minutes before deadline, saw tweets saying the pitch was dry as hell. Guide insisted spinners win on dry tracks. Freaked because I had only one spinner. Dropped my favourite fast bowler last minute for this random spinner dude. Felt risky but followed their logic.
Match time stomach ache
LAH batted first. Their expensive keeper got out for 2 runs. Felt smug avoiding that trap! Then my spinner pick took 3 wickets while fast guys leaked runs. Actually jumped off my couch shouting! Finished with 832 points – won 1200 bucks. Best part? Didn’t max out credits stupidly like before.
Would I trust guides again?
Maybe… for common mistakes part. But no magical “winning team” exists. Had to cross-check every tip with actual stats. Still spent an hour researching. That guide’s real value? Pointing out where I usually screw up. Next time I’ll skip their dream11 codes or captaincy traps though.
