I'm rocking with 3 maps today and I'm picking the winner on each of them. I went with Talon on 1st map as the draft was easy to read from their side. Now , on 2nd map , I chose PSG because their draft is simply a monster in late game and I do hope they will get there.
The second map was tight and got me hoping for a third map but unfortunately, Talon's advantage was just too much in the late game.

Hats off to PSG.LGD for holding on for so long because I already thought the game was over when Talon was building up their lead nicely around the 20 min mark and they're putting pressure on PSG.LGD in every part of the map.

There goes our bet because Liquid screwed up the 1st map. XG was pretty lucky to actually make it to the playoff then we have Liquid that seems to have found their momentum since few days ago in group stage and it seems most sane people would go for Liquid -1.5 but oh well I guess something are kinda unpredicted
Unfortunate loss for us, if only they got a better draft it would've been a 2-0 because they stomped the next two games with ease.

Not that confident about my bets today but I still expect these to hit, even with MC pushing OG to their very best I still think this would be a sweep for Gaimin Gladiators. The Tundra series might go to all three maps if they troll their draft but this is just my alternative bet as I would've taken Talon +1.5 if they were available on Stake.

I got baited by Medvedev again Sad I was contemplating between him and Tsitsipas because he went all the way during the Barcelona Open only stopped by Alcaraz in the finals.

And my picks for the Dota question aren't looking good after Shopify got eliminated, I need an upset from Talon later so me and my opponent would both have three remaining.  Wink

If a online casino claims to be a decentralized platform does this mean that their games are fully decentralized too?

Do you guys know that some casinos regulates their own slots machines themselves, can you gamble with ease of mind on such casinos?

If slots games is all you are good at, are you really good at it or you are just lucky? Can you use the word 'good at it' with slots game?

What is the most convenient games you play on gambling platforms?

Is using leverage about luck or skills? Or even a rigged game?
I'd assume the games have to be decentralized so yes, but I don't have that much experience with these platforms though.

I'm aware of those kinds of slot games and I don't mind as long as they've been in the gambling space for quite a while because usually, their reputation builds up if they can continue to release high-quality games.

With slots, it's mostly about luck and being knowledgeable on these games so you'd know what kind of bonuses to choose and that word shouldn't apply to slots.

The live table games are the most convenient for me since I can easily sit and go after a round and each round lasts for like a few minutes or less depending on the number of people playing at the table.

I've seen trading being offered in a casino once so i'd say it's more about luck than skills.

I already bet on the Warriors at -4.5 as well, I like their chances in game 1 specially at their home court. They lost a game here against the Kings, but I doubt that they can go 2 home game lost specially in the playoff. Curry has taken over and he is putting performances like he was trying to proved his doubters wrong. Lakers has the advantage of having a rest, but they could have ring rust, while the Warriors have the momentum right now. Lot's of game match up, inside with Looney and Draymond against a healthy Anthony Davis.
I got the same bet, my only worry is their ATS aren't that great as they had that one close win against the King and a home loss.

The good thing going for us is that the Lakers aren't that much of a threat on the road though based on their performance against the Grizzlies last time as they've been losing by at least double digits so I think the Warriors can cover comfortably here.

Are we also going to see that Zeus that Micke has been practicing in the pub as a pos1 with that shard/chain lightning talent? That's interesting and I haven't seen someone has played that on this new update and on this major.
Hopefully not because i've seen it in my pubs and the hero is vulnerable in team fights like drow or sniper but IMO worse since the right clicks don't dish out that much burst damage. I still think Zeus is better off going for the usual magic build.

Surprising Gaimin Gladiator is still performing very despite every team is crumbling to have a very consistent gameplay.
This is because every player is pulling their weight no one is underperforming compared to the other teams like Team Liquid where one or two players would keep on making mistakes like overextending. In Tundra's series yesterday they were limit testing to see how flexible they can go with their hero pool and it caused them to drop a map.
1667  Economy / Gambling / Re: List of crypto casinos with high wagering requirements on: May 02, 2023, 08:30:25 AM
Researching casinos without regular incentives is uncommon, and betting on these online casino games without bonuses is an absolute no-no. As consequently, bonuses encouraged players to put in more effort when playing casino games, checking out the odds that makes the double fold of the capital invested. Adding to the list mentioned, if something goes wrong and it is not disclosed in the thread, the OP will hold you liable because you are the one who recommended a gambling site with bonuses. Casino with wagering requirements are plenty, all you have to do is to follow the mentioned ones already and sort out the alternatives.
I'd agree, now that most of the top casinos are offering so many rewards, gamblers would prefer to play in casinos that have the same characteristics. There's nothing wrong about gamblers playing without bonuses because not all gamblers are mainly gambling for the bonuses and not all deposit bonuses are worth risking as sometimes it can even hold you back if you're not careful. Anyway, I don't see the need to blame OP as much when he's doing his best to increase the visibility of these requirements since it's a hassle to go through the casinos one by one.

Well atleast this looks like you are going to win something. All my parlays got busted today because of SR  Roll Eyes. For some reason I include over 2.5 maps on all of my parlays for the day lol, I was pretty sure that it was going to be atleast 2-1 either way
Thanks  Cheesy  I also had SR in a single bet and they were the first ones to give me a loss. In the first game, it felt like they were on a timer as they were starting to fall off the longer the game drags out. Then in the second game, it was a draft win for 9pandas when SR had to last pick veno offlane.

OG is a different team with these two stand-in, its kinda feel like cheating because two stand-in totally change your whole team gameplay. I actually cant believe that they win against Liquid. Well yeah Liquid is not that favourites anymore ever since the patch changed but OG was awful with their original roster though
Also, Nisha underperformed during that series and MC had so much impact roaming throughout the map not allowing any space for Team Liquid to catch up.

Now that they're in the lower bracket I hope they sweep XG as I have them in a parlay together with Team Aster +1.5 and i'm surprised Team Spirit is this favored because in my view Team Aster is performing at a similar level.

I was participating in a dice contest or promotion and I remember being so close to winning one of the upper-tier prizes but I suddenly got a stroke of bad luck losing two to four rolls. It was so bad because I was rolling at 98% win probability which is the max win probability you can go for on most dice sites and it's one of the better strategies to use for the contest i'm participating. With the kind of luck I had that day I can't forget how unlucky I was even though I had bigger losses than this.

Date/year: 2016
Amount or Figure: ~$50
What Game: Dice

The Suns had the better shooting last game but the Nuggets are getting more opportunities which might be the same situation for them here in game 2. We could see a tighter game as the Suns can still put the pressure against the Nuggets but I simply can't trust the Suns with this tight of a spread when they barely took down the Nuggets during the regular season and that's when the Nuggets didn't have Jokic.



Another shocking loss from the Celtics as their second-half struggle continues and the Sixers won't be needing Embiid if they can't fix that issue in the next game.
1671  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🕹️ Esports 🎮 Prediction & Discussion Thread on: May 01, 2023, 08:50:42 AM
Abit optimistic on GG here but I personally think they are the favourite to win The Major based on their group stage's performance
I also think the same, if they're not the team winning this tournament then it'd be Tundra because of their current form.

Going with the GG sweep as well plus Tundra for a total of 2.53, I should've placed my bet right away after the odds were released because earlier today the initial odds on Tundra ML were sitting at 1.78.

Considering that the winning margin will probably be bigger, please send me your revised answers through PM and I will change them manually.

Thanks for reporting this and sorry once again. I wanted this type of question so bad for Monaco, doesn't look as good for the Miami race but is the easiest fix I can make at this moment.
Thanks for the tag, i've sent my revised answer through PM.

My answer is still similar to the previous question as I think i'm better off relying on luck when I notice that the results can change significantly from the previous season.  Tongue

I'm guessing the F1 question will be voided if it's scheduled several weeks from now, at least that is good for me.  Cheesy

Also, i'm glad that we didn't have to answer the Dota question in order because the competition is much tighter than the last major tournament where there are enough hints on who's going to win.
1674  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you blame someone for your gambling losses? on: May 01, 2023, 05:34:55 AM
Could this be a case of making someone pay for what they didn't eat or a case of double standard.
Yup, this case seems similar to the ones that i've seen in online casinos where the gambler would put the blame on the casino rules so they can get their deposit back even though they lost their money already.

However, it seems that this woman does not blame other people, she is just trying to cover up her gambling activities by telling false stories, it is indeed not easy to cover up our identity when gambling using funds transferred through a bank account, so gambling with crypto might allow us to maintain personal confidentiality because it is not no identity connected unless doing KYC.
I was going to point this out as well, if it was a different payment method it wouldn't have been easy to verify the information and they could possibly get away with it.
1675  Economy / Gambling / Re: Can we trust 3rd party Slot providers? on: May 01, 2023, 04:49:56 AM
My question is.... can we trust these 3rd party Slot providers? Who are auditing their games and who are checking if the advertised RTP are being configured on their servers?
As you've said, it's up to the gamblers to trust them at their own risk. If it doesn't fit the criteria then we can always avoid them similar to how other gamblers would stick to playing on low-edge casino games.

But, I don't why the casino still use it today if don't have regulations.
Maybe it's because they thought having more games would give more success to their casino and it's one more reason to play in their casino knowing they have all the games and more when compared to their competitors.

Aside from the threads that were linked by the other posts, there's also the sportsbook subreddit I've mentioned them countless times before but you can find a lot of good information there thanks to the bettors on that sub. They have a weekly UFC thread (example) pinned at the top of the sub but sometimes you have to search them manually.

How do you bet on such games? What are the things to be on the lookout for?
Whenever I bet on UFC, i'd try my best not to go that deep into the research part since there are days when the favorites could lose more than they usually do.

Another result for my betting slip I haven't made a screenshot of the result but these are my betting tickets,

Invictus Gaming vs OG 1 - 1 - DRAW
OG got me as well, I had a similar parlay and they were the only leg that ruined my bet.

So many one-sided odds for today and there's not much value to take aside from the underdogs winning at least a map.

I was thinking of continue fading the bottom teams but i'll take TL to beat PSG.LGD since they need to go 4-0 today if they want to qualify for the upper bracket.

1679  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why we should play on minor gambling platform? on: April 28, 2023, 05:18:15 PM
What is the name of that big casino so that we can avoid it now before the same worse experience happens to us. If it's only about the rules then maybe you violate it? And they are not really a scam. There are casinos out there that are strict like they don't allow a VPN. Once you accidentally connect a VPN and access them, automatically they will see your account as suspected and any money on it can be confiscated.
They're nitrogensports but they already moved on to nitrobetting though and there's no need to avoid them. They had to do it because of an unexpected error on their end, the markets had the wrong starting times, and instead of just voiding the late bets they voided every bet related to the match. I remember others complained but it shouldn't happen anymore as they now have one of the best odds providers on their esports section. They're strict with VPNs too, I tried them once as I got blocked by their Cloudflare restriction and quickly got flagged by their support asking how i'm related to other account numbers and I had to explain why I did it and they were nice enough to unfreeze my account.

I'm surprised that he lasted for more than a month while spending that much because I can't imagine how he managed the days when it wasn't profitable for him. He's also lucky that his friend is willing to give a helping hand when he's in a tight situation. I used to view gambling in a similar way back then but good thing i'm already past that point and now it's more like a group activity for me where I don't have to focus on winning and simply enjoy it regularly together with other fellow gamblers.
