Over-Under for Hatakikomi/Hikiotoshi by Eurasians

[Gusoyama]

Not sure if Eurasians is the proper term, but for lack of a better one, I'll use it to describe Roho, Hakurozan, Kokkai, and Wakanoho. I'm personally putting the over/under at 11 for the total number of wins by hatakikomi or hikiotoshi by these 4. Do you think there will be more or less than this?

edit: Shoot, the poll question only mentions Hatakikomi, not Hikiotoshi. It should reflect both.

I'll go for the under.

By way of decision-making aid, if anyone's interested: hatakikomi, hikiotoshi

[Washuyama]

Is that for the entire basho or just the first couple days?? ;)

[Kintamayama]

And I will defy statistics (My favorite pastime..) and say waaay over, over the rainbow.

[Asojima]

I am going with under 11 wins. Some of their henkas got pretty sloppy last basho, so I think there will be way over 11 attempts, but less than 11 successes.

[Shibouyama]

Over.

Ahh, a technicality (Laughing...) Let's have another side bet. If someone goes for a henka and fails, that still goes in my black book.

That's right, just wins. I really have to get moving on my sumo-bet game site. I love wacky bets like this, or "How many mattas by Kisenosato this basho"

[kaiguma]

out of curiosity, are you counting the distracted cousins of these 2 kimarite? sokubiotoshi and the like?

[Fay]

I say under cause they will not be successful at all with their trials.

And 6 matta for Kisenosato.

[Asashosakari]

Looks like the over/under was set well...through ten days our downslapping quartet stands at 8.

[Gusoyama]

For the record, the vote was 14-7 on day 1 for the over. on day 10, there was an additional over vote.

I think you can close the poll as you were the one who created the thread, ne?
