I'm also betting on the same teams (Lakers and Warriors), it's unusual to see the Lakers as a slight underdog, and i'd rather take them to win than bet against them. The Pelicans almost have an even record at home so there's little to no home advantage if you look at it the other way.

Plus, the experience of these two teams is a big factor that could easily decide who gets to qualify since we've seen inexperienced teams crumble in these crucial moments.

If he doesn't listen to your advice, then that's his problem for having high expectations in gambling. I'm more worried about his family getting caught up with the money he borrowed because you mentioned that he doesn't have a job, and relying on gambling to recover most of his losses is always a bad plan. I hope his losses will eventually teach him a lesson. If he doesn't want to listen to anyone maybe his bets would make him accept the reality and change his mindset before it's too late.

My monthly this time went up as expected ($13 compared to last month's $5) because i've been more active.

After losing most of my deposits these past few weeks, I was hoping for the monthly to be slightly higher ($20), but it's good enough if I can get the same amount from the weekly bonus.

I'll use this bonus to bet on the Champions League and the NBA play-ins later today.

They usually put up the specials half a day early and sometimes one or two days ahead. If you don't see them maybe you're experiencing the same unknown issue with rdbase and arallmuus.

Chelsea with the expected free win against Everton.

It looks like the Barcelona vs PSG match is the next daily special. The best option here would be Barcelona's special, they're in the lead with a 3-2 aggregate score, but I don't recommend hammering the special. It could still end in a draw as that's more than enough for Barcelona to advance and PSG always has the threat to force a draw.

Yeah, I somewhat recall the odds close to that since Team Falcons -2.5 was like 2.80 while I tried to add -1.5 on my betslip. It is what it is, XG came prepared, and Team Falcons got outdrafted.

It's time to hold on to our bankrolls for next week as we'll have two ESL tournaments kicking off in the same week and on the weekend we'll have the LPL finals between BLG and TES. That series will be a banger and the last big match until MSI.

That guy might have a shopping addiction if he spends that much on the things he wants, but I think it's not a bad alternative if he'll be gambling his winning at some point. It reminds me of an old topic mentioning your winnings and spending them before it's too late.

The lucky win probably gave him a lot of confidence and maybe that's why he couldn't resist playing again. I've experienced that same situation, and eventually, you could be giving back your winnings within a short time if you start chasing your losses.

After going down on the first map, they started forming better drafts against Team Falcons. Even though Team Falcons lost, they still made it spicy with the all chats, and it was a bit satisfying to see Xtreme Gaming have their revenge, like taking down the final boss. Hopefully, they won't lose momentum in the upcoming tournament and have a potential rematch.

I had -1.5 on Team Falcons thinking it was the safest leg in my parlay. This loss might be a sign to go small or skip online matches in the future. 

That standing got me in the first half thinking there was a possible tie on the matches. 

With four qualification spots per group, they should get at least one of them, the only question is the seeding (ro16, ro12, QF) they'd get at the end.

Unfortunately, their matches to secure the QF spot are difficult. They'll face Astralis at the start and meet Faze in the next if they win.

Who would've thought all home favorites (Liverpool, West Ham, and Arsenal) lost earlier today?  The limited resting time probably affected their performance since they also played in the Champions League and Europa League.

After a quick look at today's special, we could get a freebie on Chelsea since it'll be the Chelsea vs Everton match. With Chelsea scoring at least 2-3 goals per match, they could easily land both the match-winner and
team total over 1.5 goals.

Speaking of data, it's also why esports betting has become interesting. At the start of the tournaments, the odds provider doesn't always provide the best odds, and you could find a few good opportunities to ride these teams before they become one of the favorites.

Regardless of the TOs multi-streaming to other platforms, the betting experience in terms of live betting isn't always the best due to the live matches being several minutes ahead while the broadcast is behind. In sports, you rarely see the streams behind by much, and most of the time it's usually less than a minute.

If I see one of those videos, i'd report them and hope their videos eventually get demonetized. They shouldn't be allowed to get away with low-quality content and it wouldn't hurt to leave a comment to give awareness to the new gamblers that assume it could work.

True, now most gambling sites have layers of security to avoid unnecessary losses from these vulnerabilities.

Weekly Update(link)

Removed Jackbit(on hold) from the table.
Added Bons under FLUX.
Added HugeWin under PNYC.
Moved Blackjack.fun and EXch from OFNP to CFNP.

I'll add Jackbit back once they start accepting applicants for the higher ranks.

I forgot they always swap the teams that get knocked down to the lower bracket, and now it's more than possible for Gaimin Gladiators to go on a deep run unless Team Liquid prepares a better draft.

That's a question they have to prove for the next few series. I don't want to get my hopes up since we've seen Gaimin Gladiators always start strong in the playoffs before struggling in the next series.

Congrats on your Team Falcons map handicap bet. They might go on to win the tournament without dropping a map in the playoffs. 

As Sunderland mentioned, some of them do have it, you need to look around even further to find your stats, but they rarely have the ones with graphs or charts. They'd only provide the numbers, and IMO that's enough to help you look back at your losses.

I always think providing stats is a good feature in a gambling site and helpful against addiction because I remember mentioning a similar solution that helped me tone down my budget. Also, it makes tracking more convenient if you have a spreadsheet.

Another 3-1 win in the bag extending the streak to four in a row. With our round ending this early, I guess the team will have more resting time and preparation for the next round. 

Nice try dbshck, I almost thought this round would've ended in a draw, assuming I made a mistake on the Euroleague question.

It's the opposite for me because the other teams are given an extra chance and it's always interesting to watch the underdog potentially shock the favorites like what Miami did in the previous playoffs.

I stopped looking a few days ago after my bankroll quickly dried up due to my bad luck. 

At least yesterday's special should've hit regardless of the match they offered, and congrats on calling that Barca win.

Their current record for the challenger league is also impressive with only 2 losses out of 16 matches played. They're probably halfway through locking one of the top two spots for the Pro League S20.

Gaimin Gladiators have a good road to the finals assuming they face XG, and I expect the opposite on Tundra as they could be the first team that can get eliminated from the playoffs.

Then again the Chinese teams are on a roll right now and I think they have the better chance at grabbing that final spot from the lower bracket.

That's one fun multi-bet, and now i'm tempted to place a bet once my account gets topped up since I like a couple of the favorites you picked. 

I wouldn't dare to go for that many legs unless it's a multi-master, but I wish you the best of luck. 

Maybe they're saving their strategies for the other tournaments since there's only prize money in this tournament, and they could be shifting their focus on ESL Birmingham which is only a few weeks away.

Those three teams have at least one of the best LGD players (NTS on G2.IG, Ame on XG, and Faith_bian on AR), so it's expected to see them rise slightly above the rest.

Most of my points are so cooked for Pot B. I knew I should've gone for Atletico Madrid instead of wasting it on Arsenal. My only hope is getting at least a few points in Man City's second leg.

On the other hand, my Superbru results went better than expected as I gained a few spots from the Atletico Madrid match.  

After checking the Excel spreadsheet, that is correct you should get the points if they somehow get to a penalty shootout next week.
