Yeah it was pretty close and I ended up losing again because of that. You know what, I feel stupid betting constantly on Dota and I have been losing ever since the last Major. Well its not actually that much but losing bets like that makes me feel dumb especially when I already have a good pick then somehow parlay them up therefore I decided to bet on Blast Major which ended up winning it without actually doing much research on it ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) It's the same for me i'd have that one good betting day, then the next few days would all be losses. I got baited by GG thinking they'll sweep Team Secret, but Team Secret surprised GG with a solid draft to win the first game then the next two weren't even close. Pre-live betting sucks right now, and watching the draft first might be the best move or skip. ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) While for their 2nd map, having a Windranger again for their mid. It seems that they want Stormstormer to have it mastered and be tested. Well, I remember Bulba wanting Abed to keep on playing with Storm Spirit for five times straight IIRC.
Or it might've been one of the best picks in scrims because Team Liquid picked it once in one of their series, but they couldn't make it work.

Now I see that there is this JDG - T1 series in the semi finals tomorrow. I think it can be one of the most delightful series in the tournament. Because JDG won the latest LPL Spring Playoffs against BLG and their playing style has been quite impressive so far. I don't think T1 can win this by not giving any game to their opponent. But still it would most probably end up with a 3-1 or 3-2 T1 win.
Unfortunately, i'm on the JDG train, and the series felt like it was close to a grand final. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) When T1 was up 2-1, I thought we'll see a 3-1 result because whenever JDG lose a 5v5 team fight T1 always sprints it down mid and destroys their base before they can defend. Luckily, T1 had a bad draft in game 4 similar to game 1, then in game 5, it came down to who will make the more costly mistake, and T1 starting a 4v5 fight hoping to get a pick off backfired and cost them the series.

but I am taking the Over 225.5 bet for this game
The public is all on the over as well, but i'm leaning on the under because both teams are hitting most of their shots (almost 55% from the last game). It can still hit, but it's rare for both teams to maintain these percentages. so for this game my pick is the Denver Nuggets,
I also took the Nuggets moneyline hoping for Stake's promo to bail me out in case it gets dicey like the last game. The spread is tempting, but they're shaky in holding their lead, and it reminded me of their game 2 against the Suns. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.vgy.me%2FdaIGVC.png&t=663&c=24QPHKZ-17lOQg)

Instead of chasing the next level, i'd suggest taking it slow because it might lead to more losses. Participate in their regular promotions and wait out your monthly rewards so you don't lose as much while closing in on your Platinum 3. I dont know what to think about this guys, seems like a gambling addict or a complete liar, you can see the other threads he had created.
How any guy who play nearly 1.000.000 usd its gonna ask for strategies?
OP might be in desperation mode, and I don't think he's lying since dice is one of the good games to grind your VIP progression. There's nothing wrong in asking for strategies because others might've found a better alternative that doesn't require much budget. I remember sharing mine on another thread, and it helped others avoid unnecessary losses because it was costly to wager on most of the required games. Also, gamblers can still reach that amount even if they don't have a big gambling budget.

I've never heard of this Aviator Crash game before but I'm even more interested if you say that this game accepts cryptocurrency deposits, so what crypto is available there because right now I still haven't installed it, maybe I'll try to install it tomorrow to want to know more carry on. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) There's no need to install an app as you can quickly play these crash games on most crypto casinos since these games are from third-party providers (Spribe, Turbo games, etc.). Check the casinos you play on because there's a good chance that these games are on their game list. Iirc a few casinos back then tried to promote the game after it got released, and at some point, it used to be the trending topic on ANN threads. I still haven't played it, as I assume it'd be no different from any other crash game.

Yeah the odds was great and my only regret was parlaying that with Entity +1.5. If only I hadn't do that then I would have racked in decent amount. I've done this numerous time, getting some good pick then somehow think that the odds was not enough therefore parlaying it onto another bet then somehow lose the ticket FFS ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Im starting to think getting OG-1.5 should be a good option to recoup what I've loss today I feel so dumb taking Entity as well because they killed their draft instantly by going with Windranger twice, and they included an unusual Magnus pick in the second game that only made their team fight execution much harder. OG almost made the Windranger carry work to get the 2-0, but they got punished by their unnecessary buybacks in the late game.

There's a possibility that we can see it in the future because I remember there were exchanges that would allow you to borrow money, and other exchanges are recently starting their casino.
Then again, casinos prioritize making profits, so if they plan to start a lending business on the side, then the rates are probably worse for the borrowers. That would mean their side business won't get that much success, so it's better if they don't do it and use their profits in another way.

I'd like to share some thoughts about the game. Personally, I'm considering betting on the Heat. They have a history of surprising as underdogs, so at the moment (though I haven't made a decision yet), I'm leaning towards taking the Heat +7.5 on the spread and considering the moneyline as well. What are your thoughts?
I'm leaning on the Heat spread as well, as I think they can easily cover 8 points since they can thrive in the second half, and it's not easy to trust the Celtics in covering the spread if you've watched their home games previously. I'll skip the spread on this game and instead go with the over 210.5 because the total seems too low, and all of their meetings (in Boston) during the regular season have gone over. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.vgy.me%2F3bkmnO.png&t=663&c=69Om7gtDsjHcZw)

Please do contribute on what categories would you like to see to compare sportsbooks.
I checked your old thread, and i'd suggest replacing the first deposit bonus for VIP programs that most sportsbooks have. Aside from the minimum withdrawal and deposit, that's the next thing I always look for whenever I visit new sportsbooks because they count your bets towards a reward, and it's based on your wagers and losses. I support the KYC category that the others already mentioned, as that's one of the reasons why gamblers use crypto sportsbooks, but it's best to keep them simple so your table doesn't stretch far off the side.

500casino gives you something to earn from betting?
Yes, they have a VIP program similar to Stake, but I haven't been betting enough to experience it. Their sportsbook only boosts your VIP progression by twice though, unlike others that are usually 3x. If you want to know more about their VIP rewards, I suggest visiting their VIP page.

I also have put my bet on Faze to win and I hope they turn around things in second and third map to win this now. Navi surprisingly are playing better than the matches they have played in Blast but I guess given the situation they have to now.
That comeback from Faze in the decider map was a miracle, I never thought they'll wake up when they're down by 6 rounds to force OT and eliminate Navi. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Also going to put my money in Talon, best team in SEA rn imo but yeah they could win 2-0
Those odds on Talon to sweep the series are good (I might grab it as well). Blacklist is performing better with kpii now in the offlane but their 2-0 win against BOOM wasn't as impressive compared to what Talon had to go through against SMG. Edit: The odds went up, so I had to go for it. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.vgy.me%2F9bAMWX.png&t=663&c=3klJoL1zYrUoHw)

I'm guessing they tried to release games with higher RTP so more gamblers would be encouraged to check out their games, but it's not that effective since people are still playing the old game due to how popular it got.
Those who play the old version probably have the game bookmarked or listed in their favorites since not everyone likes to test or check the newly released games every week.

I had a similar problem last week when I made a deposit to place a few sports bets. Instead of the confirmation stopping me from cashing out, it's the minimum withdrawal amount, as they increased it way too high than I expected. Using BTC to deposit and withdraw between casinos is the worst right now, and it's best to temporarily use altcoins until casinos adjust the fees and minimums back. On the other hand, there are casinos (for example, Duelbits) that would let you cash out your balance through another crypto regardless of the crypto you sent to your account.

Why are some online gambling platforms having high withdrawal fee?
The recommended fee might seem low, but your withdrawal transaction can quickly get pushed back by an hour or longer because tons of transactions are still being sent, and some are willing to pay higher than $1. It happened with one of my transactions yesterday after the fees went as low as 20 sat/b. you will see this only after you have enough wins or funds for withdrawal.
If it's not mentioned on the withdrawal page, you can always contact their live support, so you don't have to risk making a deposit and letting it sit at their casino for days. So far, withdrawal fees are probably the least of my worries when i'm using altcoins because even if they don't show the exact amount, it's always smaller than their Bitcoin withdrawal fee.

Thanks for the final tag of the first season. I already answered all the questions yesterday and wanted to submit it today since I want to see the remaining results of the tennis matches just before the deadline. all need to lose their matches, and I need to win to be highest possible position, easy-peasy ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) My chances of losing this round are slightly high since I always struggle when going up against the top 5 (0/4), but we'll see if luck is on my side this week. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

The odds for the +1.5 handicaps on the WEU DPC matches later tomorrow are pretty decent. I've checked another sportsbook, and all three handicaps are at 1.50~ at the minimum, so i'll probably place one or two single bets since I don't trust any of the favorites to sweep atm. While waiting for the DPC markets to come up, i've put a unit on Faze ML @1.87 since I watched some of the Blast major matches earlier, and they almost lost to BNE, but they look better than NaVi. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.vgy.me%2FdPpOAE.png&t=663&c=nMf66mLmY0x9Yw)

I also want to mention a few casinos since they recently upped their minimum withdrawal by twice or thrice. But after what Pmalek said with the miner fees, it's better to wait it out for now since the same probably applies to the minimum withdrawal amount, as this might be their way of reducing withdrawal transactions temporarily to avoid spending unnecessary amounts of fees and would only go back once the network is back to where it was before this transaction spam.

Based on the matches that I bet on, the best timezone would be around -3 or +1, as I like to bet on esports that are always scheduled in the EU or the US. On top of that, I also bet on the top sports leagues in the USA (NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL) and some of the major football leagues (CL, EPL, Serie A, etc.). In my timezone (+8) it's not the best if I have to consistently watch and bet these matches throughout the week because they'll start at the earliest around 7 pm then the next set of matches would be around 1-5 am while the later ones would be around 8 am to 12 pm.

From what I know, some casinos already require a selfie when going through KYC, but I guess the other casinos aren't doing the same because having fewer requirements would encourage gamblers to play on their site.
Some form of time restriction seems unnecessary for casinos, but as swogerino already mentioned, most casinos have self-exclusion, which is the better alternative to what you're asking for.
Receiving notifications about your playtime would be a good idea, but I doubt casinos would add such a feature when they prefer their gamblers to play as long as possible. I remember some games have this feature, but i'll ignore them anyway.

The fight to avoid relegation here in div 2 is so intense five of us only need one win to be safe or one loss from getting knocked down. Congrats to vd309 and mitchr4 for reaching the finals. Coincidentally, they will also go up against each other this week. ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) I hope Sportsbet will again create betting options on website for Cup final.
And for the third place match as well. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
