I like sharing a portion of the prize pool with everyone because most gamblers would likely lose against the big players who always buy the most tickets. It's the less punishing type of lotto or raffle for the losers, while the real winners are forced to take the hit due to how the prizes are distributed. Maybe there should be an alternative prize for the losers because the reduction in winnings could push lottery players away when they can get a better payout by playing the regular lotteries.

- Do you honestly think running a prediction game (run with my own funds) would attract genuine interest in this and not just shitposting quota?
- Would let's say 1-2 mbtc (per event, about one or two per month) be enough for people here to at least open a few links and take a look at what hoses are running and what their timeform is?
- Is anyone here actually gambling on horse racing?
I only bet on horse racing whenever I see other gamblers share their predictions on the best horse to pick in certain races. If i'm on my own, I probably wouldn't have the slightest interest in the sport, and i'm thankful they introduced me to horse racing, even if it's only for a short while. If the prediction contest doesn't have a lot of requirements, then there's a possibility. It might be worth suggesting this sport for the next season of BSFL, but it'll depend on the schedule of the next big event. |

note: ralle14 while I was putting this up already posted the special on there. Well done on keeping up with the specials as I was busy watching Europa league earlier and did not check until just 5 minutes ago!  I only noticed it after checking yesterday's MOTD, and I was surprised when there were two of them being offered close to each other due to the schedule of the match. The MOTD for tomorrow is already up and it's one of the less interesting matches when Man United continues to disappoint at home. Hopefully, we get a spicy CHTV special, maybe another multi-bet with boosted odds like last week.  Now might also be the time to test the rapid betting feature since they released a new promo earlier today. |

In regarding on betting, then i dont bet on groupstages but im much more having the thrill on betting when playoffs start. This is where the fun do really begins.
I'm in the same boat, and i'll only start placing bets once we get to the next phase because the stakes are similar to a playoff match. Also, the balance patch just dropped. Several heroes received a slight nerf, the biggest ones were Pango and PA. I'm not sure if the nerf is enough to discourage teams from picking them but some heroes (Spectre and LS) that got buffed might go up in priority. |

We also have a MOTD special(link is in the image) for this match, and I immediately hopped on the Commanders' special because they were close to beating the Eagles last week.  TNF is happening in less than and hour and a half and everyone is saying there is a lock on this match up tonight!
It's scary to say they're a lock, but I agree they should win against the Bears. There's a bit of movement on the spread (from 6.5 to 5.5) and maybe it's a hint that the public or the sharps are going ham on the Bears. |

Well, here we are for the third consecutive season.  I also took the Orioles to win, but mine is for the entire series @1.96. The Orioles probably won't mind if the Rangers keep their momentum rolling after their WC win against the Rays since they tend to thrive under pressure. And for the other side of the bracket, I might add the Dodgers tomorrow once my price boost refreshes and i'm staying away from the Braves vs. Phillies when there's a possibility for an upset.  |

Only 7 days until Dota 2 TI tournament and I must say I'm already hyped for some majestic Dota 2 games. Also rumors are that Puppey will be with Team SMG on TI and he is already practicing for some days with them in order to be prepared so once again , Puppey will make it to TI.  I've also heard of the rumors and he'll possibly join with Mind Control when two of their players struggle to secure a visa. Both players would be a straight upgrade for the team and might even get a good placement if they're lucky enough with the group draw.
Aside from TI, there's also Worlds, which i'm looking forward to in a few days since I might focus on their group stage as i'm usually struggling with Dota's Bo2 format. |

The only ones I managed to predict correct on any of betslips were Atletico Madrid and Barcelona but those matches were close with cancelled goals being called on their opponents. So it wasn't easy to watch these two if you had anything on these matches.
I also had a bet on the Atletico Madrid match and was banking on them to produce a lot of goals as I had BTTS and over 2.5. Luckily, Feyenoord made the first goal, forcing Atletico Madrid to score one back and the next thing you know it's 2-2 in the first half. This is probably the only special that I didnt interested on taking before the match lol. I mean I thought it would be a pretty close game between Newcastle and PSG so I was pretty sure that it wouldnt be over 3.5 goals.
It only became my second option because three goals felt like a stretch and I didn't trust Newcastle enough to perform well against tough matches like these. |

GW 7 free bet winner is ralle14. Congrats man, this makes you the first person in our pool who got more than one free bet. Put it to good use and it is about time you make some bad decisions this season which will allow me close the gap Thank you. I'm guessing the bonus points saved me because I thought I would be the second top gainer this week when I saw my total sitting at 77 after the weekend, while Cryptofrka had 79. I also feel like i'm due for a bad week when things are going too well. I did make a few changes so we'll see if that's the price I have to pay. |

I thought i'll only get one or two points in the last six matches and then the late goals came in for Lazio and Man City giving me six points for both exact score. I gained a lot of ranks in the Superbru leaderboard but not so much in the odds-based leaderboard.  I learned my lesson after trusting PSV too much to get the win at home and underestimating Sevilla to show up on the road. |

Today we have some more juicy Sportsbet Specials and they are worth a look atleast:
I'm tempted to jump on PSG's odds, thinking they have the upper hand on this match, but I find the BTTS+ o9.5 corners combo to be the better play when I somehow see this one ending with a draw. I just hope they don't lack in the corner department once the BTTS hits.  Manchester United losing was the biggest shocker of the evening at the UCL matchday 2 encounters.
To me, their loss was expected after seeing them lose against Crystal Palace. The Lens win surprised me the most since I thought Arsenal patched things up on the road and then that loss happened. Edit: I can't believe the bet ended up losing by one corner. |

It's all about reminding yourself that even the best bets on paper can still lose once the match starts. I sometimes have the same regret when I have a smaller stake in an obvious pick, but I would just be thankful it won because you still can't count out the possibility of the bet losing. Once you go through a long streak of losses, you'll realize the importance of keeping yourself in check and understand that it's better to accumulate your winnings through small stakes. Instead of wanting to win more, you should view it differently and strive to prolong your bankroll.

That boy was trying to freeroll the sportsbook, if he won the bet, he probably wouldn't reveal his age and walk away with his winnings. After things went south, he's trying to find a way to get his losses back, similar to the cases that we sometimes see here in the gambling section.
I doubt he'd get a refund when it's already too late and maybe it could've been a different story if he was caught while the money is still in his account.

The last time this happened to me was a few years ago when Yolodice was still up and running. I was running an auto bet while hunting for low numbers and made a careless mistake in my betting size and started with a significantly bigger betting size. I only noticed it when my bankroll went down by a lot in the first couple of bets but i'm lucky enough to get a win (with a 1% win probability) and stop the auto bet in time before eating up more of my bankroll.

I was interested in taking one of the CHTV specials earlier and now it somehow disappeared as i'm about to place a bet. I would've taken the BTTS and over 3.5 for 2.80 as I thought it was the only special that could likely hit out of the rest. I can imagine seeing a scoreline of 2-2 or 3-1 since I doubt these two would sit back and hold on to their lead. I'm locking Arsenal @1.70 as my alternative bet for the day. I think they get away with a win on the road since Lens doesn't have the best form and only looked better after their draw against Sevilla a few weeks ago.  Edit: Disappointing loss, Arsenal dominated in shots but couldn't convert while Lens only needed one in the second half. |

Some gamblers had an habit of making small bets many times,which leads to the few dollars loss.If the gambler do gambling with the gap with the fixed money per month,So he won’t loss the money.Because he will gamble the free money every month,So the loss will not affect the gambler at any point.Some gambler start to target the loss,which is not possible sometimes because of your luck.So the luck based gambling only help the gambler to recover the loss if it was tried by the gambler.
That's one way to view small bets, but i'd say it's more of a disposable portion of your bankroll than free money when these small bets are still a part of your bankroll. This made me remember an unusual gambler who would bet a small chunk of their balance to round it up or down. One part that's missing from the guide is taking advantage of hedging through live bets. It might not be the best move for gamblers because it's -EV, but it doesn't hurt to cash these small bets out to secure a good chunk of profits. |

With watching the first quarter it was just a sea of yellow from all the penalties being given out by the referees.
There were no points put up on the scoreboard yet while I tuned into the game, but Seattle were at their own 30 yard line and was 1st and 20 then another flag thrown during the play and set back to 1st and 25.
So this seems to be a reoccurring theme for this Monday night match and possibly make it a low scoring one if more flags get thrown throughout the rest of the game.
Geno Smith was the favored quarterback to take the Seahawks on to victory against a poorly performing Daniel Jones and Giants team.
If I did have a bet on this match up tonight, I would of picked the exactly same as you did backing the Seahawks and probably put it as a combo bet with the points spread just to make it a bit more appealing to me.
Yup, the first half was so scrappy from both sides there is always a flag being thrown on every play and the Giants' QB was the real MVP of this match. Whenever they start to gain some yardage and close in on the red zone they somehow find a way to give it back to the Seahawks. I thought my Seahawks bet was in trouble when Geno Smith was having issues during the second quarter but the Giants still can't get their shit together.  |

In sportsbooks, it's common to see gamblers getting banned or limited because they win too much, but with casinos, you almost don't see it happen unless they catch you breaking the rules. I agree that the stuff we read from other gamblers should be taken less seriously because i've seen some of them explain their situation and make things sound like they've done nothing wrong until the casino steps in to explain their reason behind the punishment. I wish gamblers were more honest when it's their fault.
Unfortunately, it's the opposite since gamblers would do almost anything to get their money back even though they lost it fair and square. |
