I agree you need a good setup to make a WD core similar to how B8 last picked the hero against Nouns and I think he's in a similar position as a Rubick core that falls off later on if he doesn't snowball. Then again, he's better off as a support than a core because there are still too many good mid heroes to choose from and the only time I saw a WD core win was when Gaimin Gladiators picked it as an offlaner.

Hopefully, it stays that way for a while because it's fun to see the teams cook up different drafts on every map.

The Chelsea vs. Luton Town specials are up for another 11 hours and I have to go with the Chelsea special (boosted from 2.40 to 2.70) since they're playing at home.



The only bad part about this special is Raheem Sterling hasn't scored a goal yet but I still think there's a good chance he gets one against Luton Town, who conceded at least three goals in their first two matches.

I also overlooked some matches, but I don't know if the Galatasaray match was a good example when it was a tight match with Galatasaray winning at the very end. Seeing key players could encourage bettors to back a specific team but they can still underperform.

Same, i'd look for alternatives like team totals or bet builders because the draw no bet market is tough to hit when your team is playing on the road, and for me, it leaves a bitter feeling when the game ends with a draw.

Even if we play on casinos that don't require verification, they can eventually ask for verification because they update their terms and conditions.

I agree with you as well, there are still risks in passing KYC both early and late, and I only wanted to point out that it doesn't hurt to be cautious because passing KYC at the start doesn't always mean you're in the clear for withdrawing large amounts of money. Also, they could still ask for more information in the future because some casinos have different levels of KYC.

I guess some teams prefer to stay because there are more slots available in their region and moving to another region means they'll lose the opportunity to scrim against some of the best teams.

I'm also interested in the upper bracket matches of the EEU qualifiers but I have to back VP in this series because the h2h favors them and they've consistently placed 4th in all the EEU DPC Tours this year.

Most of us almost failed that Inter Miami question but they answered back with a goal in the 97th minute to tie the game and force ET.  

I had a similar tactic and picked the ones at the top of the rankings.  

Edit: They seem likely to advance now that they're in the lead 3-2.

I saw the partnership announcement between Sportsbet and Newcastle on the promo page and it's great to hear that all of their matches will have a super boost. 

I'm also interested to see what specials they have in store for the Newcastle vs. Liverpool match on Sunday. 

I prefer dealing with the verification part later on once i'm sure i'll be playing regularly in the casino I picked because, as one of the earlier posts mentioned, gamblers have several accounts, and verifying every single one could put your information at risk.

Getting verified too early also comes with a risk. What if you suddenly go on a heater after your verification and the casino doesn't want you playing on their site anymore after making too much profit from their games?

I was close to making the same mistake as well but i'm lucky I decided to include the full name in one of my snooker predictions after double-checking the bracket and seeing some of them have the same surname.

Same, I thought we'd see a low or high-scoring match because it's only the first leg, and somehow, it ended with no goals.  

 

I'm starting to like them less than before but I have to mention Stake as the casino that stands out the most IMO. As yahoo mentioned, they spend a lot of money promoting their casino and streaming platform. They still give out tons of VIP rewards that can be claimed in your preferred crypto and their forum has a bunch of contests and promotions.

Their VIP system is the feature that made me pick them. Other casinos could offer a better VIP experience, but you still can't go wrong with Stake's VIP.

Only the common issues like phishing through emails.

B8 crumbled so hard in the next game even Dogchamp didn't lose that fast against Nouns when they fought in the upper bracket. I wasn't expecting a clean win from Nouns, but at least B8 made the third game interesting with their Chrono and Death Ward combo that almost worked. 

The only rule I saw in their rulebook is this and I think it's good enough if it means we'll have more competitive teams in the majors and TI.

Back then, you'd have no problem picking any crypto sportsbooks since most of them don't require KYC but now it's a bit different. Not all crypto sportsbooks only require an email when creating an account because they can always change their terms and conditions. If you check the table in this thread, there are only a few crypto sportsbooks that don't require KYC, while half of the sportsbooks listed can potentially ask for KYC.

Casinos could potentially leak or sell our information, but as Oshosondy mentioned, it's best to pick the top casinos to reduce the chances of it from happening. Picking crypto sportsbooks also works but unfortunately, most gamblers still prefer to gamble with fiat.

There is a significant effect but it still depends on the sport because I remember betting on the NBA regular season last time and teams that didn't have their star player still played well and won the games they should've lost.

Recently in esports, there was a team who are always one of the big favorites in their league, and suddenly, they became mediocre, losing most of their series (from 6-2 to 9-9) after their star player injured his wrist. Thankfully, he recovered in time and got to play during the playoffs to push the team back to their top form.

The software providers could manipulate the games, but the games they create usually go through inspections and testing. I doubt casinos can cheat through the games made by the software providers, but I know they can adjust the RTP and payouts of certain games.

They're not wrong about casino games coming from casinos because it's true, and the casino you're promoting also released their own games.

The table for the MOTD promo got updated, which means the promo is extending. 



I also missed the Crystal Palace vs Arsenal special but at least I got a win from Arsenal. I was close to cashing out my bet in the final few minutes when Arsenal got a red card because Crystal Palace started putting pressure with a man advantage and I thought they'll score a late goal. 

I'm glad they won since I had Azure Ray to win the series @1.4. The odds are a bit lower, but it felt closer than after watching the first few games were decided by a mistake or an overextension.

During that series, Brewmaster seems like a solid offlaner pick. It might become a priority pick after watching him survive several gank attempts despite being the lowest networth core. Clockwerk support is decent as well I watched the NA grand finals (Nouns vs B8) earlier and they're making this Clockwerk look busted together with the Grimstroke combo.

If it's only between the number of series, it's probably the shortest since I can't recall a CSGO tournament that goes straight into the playoffs with a single elimination format.

In my case, I don't bother checking the license of casinos because it doesn't say a lot about the quality of the casino, and I prioritize other factors when picking a good crypto casino.

I know there's nothing wrong with checking a license of a casino you're using, but even if they have a gambling license, gamblers can still have bad experiences.

For what others said about gambling licenses, here are a few threads that asked a similar question.

Gambling License
Crypto Gambling Licenses - What they actually mean

The casino games I always play are live dealer games and maybe slots because I enjoy the small talks with the live dealers and the different game modes offered by the software providers. With slots, you always get new games to try and play, but the downside is the betting limits set by the providers. I used to try to aim for those big wins, but eventually, I stopped chasing because it's starting to feel like a chore when it takes a long time before you hit something decent again.

Nice to see a snooker question this round, I don't follow it as much but i've watched a few matches before since I remember a couple of familiar names mentioned in the question.

The switch-up on the multiple favorites question (question is nice since we always have it as an all-in-one question in the previous rounds. Now it's tricky and punishing as a h2h question.  

The Gamers8 tournament ended earlier today after Vitality edged out ENCE in the decider map. I thought this would be ENCE's series to win because they looked clean throughout the tournament compared to Vitality, but Zywoo went ham after they lost the first map.

The LCK playoffs also finished with Gen G sweeping T1 in the grand finals. I would've thought it'll be a 3-2 win by Gen G, but T1 looked like a different team in this series.

I'm rooting for Xtreme Gaming to win the lower bracket finals, so we'd have decent odds for the grand finals.
