I'm impressed that JDG swept BLG this time, and BLG almost had game 2 in the bag, but it only took one wrong fight in the baron pit to give JDG the win. BLG tried their best to focus on Ruler, but JDG is too good at keeping him alive in most team fights. The upper bracket matchup between T1 and JDG will be tight, but i'm hoping for JDG to win since Gen G will probably have no issue getting to the lower bracket final to guarantee an LCK vs LPL final.  Cheesy


The balance patch for Dota dropped just before the DPC Tour 3 kicks off within a few hours, and Quinn's heroes (Void Spirit and Pangolier) got nerfed, but that'll only mean he can shift to other good heroes like Puck, Leshrac, and Ember Spirit.  Tongue
1622  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Where and How Do you watch live boxing and MMA matches on: May 15, 2023, 12:37:02 AM
Sometimes, I join MMA Community.

Example Like "Discord" I also do the same things on F1. I don't pay for a subscription, some people are really kind to re-broadcasting the match to "Discord" so everyone can watch. However, there has some maximum people who can join the stream in "Discord".

Maximum 50 people. In-case all room full, need to wait some guy opened another room and re-broadcasting ~LOL.
It's the same for me i'll head over to the sportsbook discord server if I want to watch one of the matches because they always have a few people willing to stream all the matches. And they have a voice channel for that purpose since everyone joining the voice channel will always be muted.

If no one's streaming in any of the Discord servers then my alternative would be watching streams on sportsbooks like Stake. Before that, i'd use Reddit to find live streams, but they're not as good as the other options i've mentioned.

That's what I think as well. The parade didn't look that effective, or at least the one from the video, because you can't quickly understand what they wanted to point out. And it only made sense with OP's initial explanation on the motorcycles. I admire their effort to make a parade against gambling addiction, but it should've gone through more planning, or they could've shifted to a different method so their effort won't go to waste just like that. It might've even backfired because they used the actual slot name in the last part of the video.

1625  Economy / Gambling / Re: Sportsbook offering VAR market on: May 13, 2023, 12:01:11 AM
I thought VAR is used in a live game so is there any way sportbooks can offer VAR? Online casinos have not offer that in their sites so I don't know for that. And I don't think they will even implement VAR in their sportbooks because bettors might not like it because of it complicated nature. Op your accusation of betnomi there no water tight evidence on the accusation so we should keep that side aside and let focus on the VAR. VAR can not be added to online casinos sportbooks for now.
Betnomi already offered it, so I don't see why the other sportsbooks can't, and they only have to do is get the same odds provider.

Most gamblers wouldn't bet on VAR, but others like to make bet builders and would probably take them based on the stats. If anything, it's a plus for both the sportsbook and the gamblers as it's similar to betting on offsides.

I believe JDP will win 3-0, do you want to bet on the score?  Tongue
The odds got worse when it closed (from 1.54 to 1.35), but I still took it, knowing it was close to a free win. The second game was the closest out of the three and got me worried when GG led for almost 5k before throwing it back to JDG.  Grin



My next play might be to take every over 3.5 maps because we're having a grand finals rematch on three out of the four series aside from G2 vs Mad Lions, and this season all four matchups went over four maps.
1627  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Advice when you are going a bit far in gaming and betting on: May 12, 2023, 02:19:20 PM
Playing other games on Steam can be a viable alternative when your girlfriend or friends are unavailable.
That's one good way to make yourself busy, and it's an effective option to soak up most of your free time so you can shift your focus to something else instead of gambling.

Question is; how would a gambler see if he/she is betting too fr than they suppose to? Problem is lack of awareness.
I agree, and one thing I did to increase that awareness is to track my bets and transactions through a spreadsheet. It requires a bit of effort, but it's worth the extra step if it can help me maintain my gambling activities from going overboard.
1628  Economy / Gambling / Re: #1 RATINGS of BITCOIN SPORTSBOOKS : poster book discussion on: May 12, 2023, 12:40:36 PM
Just a small warning for gamblers planning to deposit, some crypto sportsbooks like Sportsbet and 500casino bumped up their minimum withdrawal ($50-$100) due to the rise in miner fees that happened these past few days.

Other sportsbooks might do the same, so be sure to check their current withdrawal before making the deposit.
1629  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ESports betting -CS:GO, DOTA 2, LOL, Valorant - Sportsbet.io discussion thread on: May 12, 2023, 01:00:55 AM
that seems to be a test of the new lineup they want to use in the future,
They could get away with it against the weaker teams, but against Gen.G that won't be easy to pull off.

The Cloud9 series earlier today was a letdown, I thought this would be the first competitive series we'll get in the playoffs, but I was wrong.  Tongue

If the best NA team can't win against the second-best LPL team, then Golden Guardians need to brace themselves for the worse because JDG could speedrun the series if they want to.

That is an old thread but I think it deserves a spot on the list. It's a compilation of his gambling investment between different crypto casinos that used to accept bankroll investments.

There's also tomahawk9's esport's overview that's similar to Darkstar's house edge overview.

But you know what's the most exciting match in my mind? After Gaimin Gladiators won the Lima and Berlin Majors, it seems that they're unbeatable. What match I'm talking about of making me excited? It's this match between them and Team Secret. This is going to be on May 19 in the Western Europe region of this DPC tour 3. So, mark your calendars and don't miss that match.
I see that series ending with a quick 2-0 for GG, but we'll see how they hold up. Right now, I don't have high hopes for Team Secret in beating the top teams, but I think they can squeeze their way through the top 4 similar to how OG did last Tour.

For Dota ...I'm waiting 15th so the next DPC Will begin again and I do hope GG will be nerfed by Valve in a way or another because it's really not funny to watch a single team to dominated like that. If they cannot nerf them , just disband them by buying 2 guys from them as we all know , big teams tends to do that just because of this reason. We have many examples in the past about this strategy.
I'd say the nerf would be more likely to happen than disbanding the team since I don't see any players from GG moving to another team when this is their best chance to win TI. We'll probably get a balance patch sometime soon, but I still think that won't be enough to put GG down.
1632  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🥇BEST CASINO IN 2023 - Community decide🥇 on: May 11, 2023, 12:13:50 PM
I'd suggest Bitcasino, 500casino, and Wolf.bet to be added to the qualifier list. i've linked all their ANN thread and they're all good casinos, but they're not mentioned as much though.

If you plan on doing this, I suggest just picking those people that should cast their votes. The voting should not be open for all but only to eligible voters who meet the specified requirements (it'll be best to be transparent about who has voted, which casino they had voted to, and the results and numbers). Otherwise, the gambling community may not accept the results as legitimate or trustworthy.
I agree it's easy for others to include fake votes, and to avoid that from happening, we'll need to have a few requirements so that every vote will matter.
1633  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🎰 What software of online casino slots do you prefer? on: May 11, 2023, 12:38:27 AM
I haven't tried every single provider, but my top three slot providers are Play'N Go, GameArt, and OneTouch. My reason is similar to the others Play' N Go has that high hit rate so you don't lose as much and they're good for clearing wagering requirements.

It can become stressful for new gamblers who just want and is interested in having fun to begin to concern themselves with the software of the online casino slot they are about to play. Old gamblers who have played slots a lot will have a preference for some specific reasons, maybe the one they are most lucky with, but for new gamblers, it will take some time to discover.

 It will take some time before a new gambler will notice and have a preference as I am sure it did for some gamblers here who now know the various softwares and have settled for a preference. New gamblers only get to observe and notice the difference in softwares after they have been playing for a long time. I am still in the process of discovery.

I agree, I used to be that way as well, but after playing more slot games where I landed some profits, it encouraged me to know the name of the providers as i'd want to try the other games they've made. And it's easy to remember because they're usually next to the name of the slots you're playing.
1634  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🕹️ Esports 🎮 Prediction & Discussion Thread on: May 11, 2023, 12:05:35 AM
MAD Lions' end was even more painful as they couldn't even win one game in the series.

I wouldn't even be surprised if we see a finale between these two Korean teams. But I would like to see some different competition instead. We have already seen a delightful final series in LCK between these two.
After T1 completed that comeback during the first game, they might've destroyed Mad Lions' morale since the next two games quickly snowballed out of control. And they made it look like one of the fastest series so far.

We have no choice if it's another LCK final because that's how far ahead the LCK teams are in terms of performance while the other regions are falling off or the gap is starting to grow farther apart compared to the previous seasons. I'd also prefer to see a different grand final but that'll depend on the performance of the LPL teams. IMO they're the only ones that can go head-to-head against the top two LCK teams.
1635  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ESports betting -CS:GO, DOTA 2, LOL, Valorant - Sportsbet.io discussion thread on: May 10, 2023, 01:27:51 PM
T1 with one hell of a comeback against Mad Lions in game 1 as they tried to go for a similar composition that Gen G did and made it work. They might do it again here in game 2 as they're now 5k ahead and Mad Lions look hopeless atm.

Maybe both of you guys could pm Steve to look into why you can not participate in such promotions as these are for CounterStrike and shouldn't be any sort of problems with being region restricted as some have reported were their problem in the past.

You should be able to have your bets within the Esports hub as the Place your bets button at the very bottom of the screen redirects you there so to put in your bets for the contest.
It might be geo-restricted as I remember one of their previous CSGO promo was like that as well.  Anyway, appreciate the help though, I will still continue betting as usual once this network overload is over.   Smiley
1636  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What kind of rewards/bonuses do you prefer? on: May 10, 2023, 12:31:20 PM
To each their own, am I right? Maybe free spins or welcome bonuses make your heart race. And who am I to judge your taste in excitement?
That used to be the case for me but after experiencing all three i've learned how certain bonuses would hold less value like the free spins and welcome bonuses for example, you would have to rely on luck for the most part to get the best value but hitting a decent multiplier to clear the requirement is rare enough that you're better taking other bonuses or just play with your own balance. Also, some of the top casinos realized how ineffective these bonuses are that's why they've shifted their reward system to a long-term one which some of the posts above already suggested.
1637  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ESports betting -CS:GO, DOTA 2, LOL, Valorant - Sportsbet.io discussion thread on: May 10, 2023, 01:30:39 AM
Remember there is a pretty good promotion going on right when the tournament started yesterday and runs until the 21st.
It's unfortunate that I can't opt in for this promotion as it automatically redirects me to the promo page when i'm logged in. Good luck to those who opt in though.

Gen.G really met the expectations by a solid performance today.  Smiley  G2 Esports are normally a really capable team but it is just really difficult for them to compete with a strong Korean team at the same level. It was like this many years ago and there is still a huge gap between European and Korean teams in terms of team play on League of Legends.

It could have ended by 3-0 instead of 3-1 as well actually. It was due to Gen.G's being a little complacent in the 3rd game.
The individual matchups were too far apart for G2 and I agree, it should've been a 3-0 if it weren't for their unusual draft on the third game as they only had Peyz as their heavy hitter.

I was hoping I could place a bet on the T1 series but with these discouraging odds, it might be best to just watch the series.  Cheesy

Speaking of Old G, it seems that PuckChamp has taken the entire roster. So coming from Old G, they're now Puckchamp. Will still wait for the official announcement.
It looks like they had enough of it and just decided to pay their way back into Div 2 this time though Ceb will be the offlaner and Aramis will be the soft support for the team.

The old LGD squad is looking to return as well after they took the slot of YBB gaming, I don't trust their carry player as much though since he wasn't that great during his time in XG but I still hope they get at least top 4.

1639  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you prefer Original Slots or slots from 3rd party Slot providers? on: May 10, 2023, 12:07:55 AM
The original slots are great but for me, nothing comes close to the entertainment level of the slots from the third-party providers. There are so many games to choose from and i'll always lose my deposit before I can even try the other games they have on their list. Their house edge is one of the highest but I don't mind it since my main priority is to have fun.

Out of curiosity, is there a crypto-casino currently that not using a service provided by third-party providers?
Yes, a few of the old casinos that started with a single game like Bustabit, Primedice, etc haven't used any providers.

Since my deposit is still ~10 blocks away and my bets are getting rejected atm i'll just share this Sportsbet special that'll expire within 3-4 hours.

They're the League Cup semi-finalists from the BSFL and you can check the previous results here. BOL to all that has a bet on this event and the semi-finalists.  Wink
