Who would've thought all home favorites (Liverpool, West Ham, and Arsenal) lost earlier today?  Shocked 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.

First , let us assume that someone discovers a vulnerability on a website or game that he will invest in it for himself only and will not reveal it because he knows very well that the news will reach the officials and they will take the necessary precautions and he will not benefit much. Also, we must not forget the role of security systems and developers in those games and websitesand nothing will go unnoticed by them.
True, now most gambling sites have layers of security to avoid unnecessary losses from these vulnerabilities.

Gaimin Gladitors started their journey with a 2-0 but Tundra Esports surprisingly lost against PSG.Quest but I am not saying that they're strong not to lose but Quest is also a strong team and they've proven that in the past tournaments. It's now PSG.Quest and XG while for the Gaimin Gladiators, it's not yet final but there's now a 1-1 score for Team Liquid and Azure Ray and whoever losses there will go to the lower bracket and will be against GG and the team that wins will face Falcons in the semi finals.
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.

Well not for G2.IG for sure and I didnt expect GG to beat the 2-0 up. I guess GG is back onto their playoff mode? they rarely dissapoint in playoff though but Im not really expecting them to be able to get to the final considering that the current upper bracket teams are pretty dominant

Anyway, got my bet on Falcons to win 2-0. If they dont troll then they should be able to take this 2-0 up
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.  Tongue
286  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would a gamblers statistics in graph and chart form, be of any help? on: April 12, 2024, 02:57:36 PM
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 Cool 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.

Never really liked this play-ins format when it was first announced, I think during covid.
But it is what it is. Miss the regular season then straight to the play-offs.
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.

What do you see for the Sportsbet.io Special section for today?
There should be something available for the Champion league matches scheduled for later on today.
Haven't had anything available under my tab for months so just stopped looking under them and hoping to see something worth the wait.
Will probably take Barcelona @3.65x to beat PSG as there can't be another set of draws today in UEFA, can there be?
I stopped looking a few days ago after my bankroll quickly dried up due to my bad luck.  Tongue

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

Impressive run winning seven matches in a row during this competition before Fluxo finally managed to win one later in the day.
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.

It's interesting that two good teams are found in the lower bracket, Gaimin Gladiators and Tundra Esports, do you think that one of them will have a cinderella lower bracket story making it to the finals?
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.

Have my betslip made for this UFC 300 including all bouts with a huge amount of odds over 558x.
Betslip was too long it didn't show all the selections.
They can be viewed on the share betslip link here provided by Sportsbet.io:

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.  Wink

I guess its time for Team Spirit to get another member for replacement huh.
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.

Anyway, whats up with these china region top seed teams, all of them are still proceeding through to the playoff stage. They are not probably not the best team around right now compared to some teams like Falcons and Team Liquid but those 3 are still pretty good though
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.  Cheesy

Guys I went with the bonus bet for the Bayern Munich - Arsenal game, saying that there will be a penalty shootout after the 2nd leg. I can't recall the wording exactly, but the pick would win if the 2nd leg ends with a penalty shootout is that correct?
After checking the Excel spreadsheet, that is correct you should get the points if they somehow get to a penalty shootout next week.

I've used the same method back then, frequently switching to a new casino every other day and i'd say it becomes risky depending on what kind of games you're going to play.

From my experience, it's not that different from most strategies that can hit or miss since it still relies on luck.

It may not very well apply in crypto since there are only a few crypto casinos that are reputable. If you hop from one casino to another because you won $100 each from them, you may end up in a scam casino soon.

As for now while there are only a few Bitcoin casinos, we are trying our luck on the same casino because we don't want to end up being scammed over and over. But sure its a good strategy.
As long as OP takes the time to do a quick search on the casino he plays, he could easily avoid the questionable casinos. We now have a lot of websites that do crypto casino reviews, and I think he'll eventually move on to another strategy before he runs out of reputable casinos.
294  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you feel when you experience violence while gambling on: April 10, 2024, 03:58:55 PM
If i'm betting physically and there's a fight about to escalate in the same row as i'm playing, i'd quickly stay away from it because you always never know if those people brought a weapon with them.

I've never experienced it before, and hopefully, it stays that way knowing it can get out of hand.

What on earth will result in a gambler fighting his fellow gambler when he knows that they are in for a bet to know who plays better than the other?

I call it stupidity when a gambler refuses to accept that he is a loser to his fellow gambler, fighting will then be the only option that comes to their mind. Like fighting will make them have their lost money back.
Unfortunately, there are always stubborn people who can't take in their losses and become desperate to fight back even though it's the wrong thing to do.

Despite the good games that OG has got. They're still in danger if they're not going to win the last day match that they have tomorrow.

Two series for them, with Heroic which was already eliminated but can give them headache and the same goes with Azure Ray. And as we speak about OG, they've got a direct replacement by ESL due to the visa issues of 1win.

What a way OG, after this, they're going to ESL Birmingham.
The 4-0 win from PSG.Quest and the 2-0 win AR earned from yesterday's matches reduced their chances. Now they'll need at least 3/4 map wins to secure a tiebreaker and lock one of the lower bracket slots, or 4/4 win for the second upper bracket slot.

That sudden replacement for the ESL Birmingham was a blessing for OG, and I don't mind if we can see them again pull another miracle win against the currently hottest team.  Wink


I'll temporarily move to League bets while waiting for the Elite League playoffs on Friday. TES knocked JDG down to the lower bracket last weekend and i'd assume they'll do better now that they get to face a weaker opponent.



Edit: What a throw by JDG, it should've been a 3-0 but they let NiP push it to a fifth map.

It feels good to have an early lead with the Real/City question, but that exit from Alcaraz was unexpected, and now I gave dbshck a free point from the tennis question.  Tongue

After comparing our predictions, I guess our round will end on Thursday or Friday, possibly with a low-scoring outcome depending on how the remaining questions pan out.

Champions league quarters start in just about 45 mins and for some reason im feeling a draw on both matches  Grin

Dont agree with bayern odds at 4.7  Roll Eyes
City gonna win at home anyways so they might be just comfortable with a draw todaay  Shocked
Nice shout on both matches ending in a draw, I didn't expect Bayern to come out swinging against Arsenal on the road, I had low expectations from them due to their poor form.

I was close to pulling the trigger on Man City's special, then had the same thought on Man City being satisfied with a draw.

They covered the spread and then some so everybody was content with their performance no matter how much over a handicap you had on with a 75-60 score at the end of it all.
The under also covered which has been the trend with UConn's matches.  Cheesy

The Suns failed me last time against the Timberwolves, Beal tried his best to keep them in the game, but Grayson Allen missed a lot of good looks that cost them the game.

Today they should return to their winning ways since they still have a chance to take the 6th spot from the Pelicans, and the Clippers won't have most of their starting players.



I'm not inclined to bet on these kinds of wagers. Five legs and only a small odds payout. I'd rather stick to single bets with low odds than that; I'm not comfortable with this picks. I think there's always one pick that will fail, just like with your picks before. Lol Anyway good luck again!
Same, I used to make similar parlays before realizing that it's too risky than what the odds suggest. Then again, there's nothing wrong with taking moneyline parlays if it works.

Edit: Never mind, i'm starting to think my bet is already cooked if the Suns consistently brick while the Clippers are making every shot count.

Is there a reliable website for soccer predictions? If yes, what is it called?
I'd recommend this subreddit(SoccerBetting) over a prediction site that might sell you their paid picks.

On that subreddit, you'll always find some bettors sharing their free predictions through the daily threads, and if you're lucky you could even catch bettors on a heater sharing consistent winners.

One thing to note is that the predictions you can find there won't always be reliable, but it's better than buying picks if that's your plan.

I rarely hit anything big from my bets, but I got lucky by participating in one of Sportsbet's promotions back then the next few days my account suddenly had a whole bitcoin. I quickly spent most of it to buy a good phone because my old phone was on its last legs.

That's probably the best thing i've achieved with my luck as my next big win is half of that. My second big win only happened after I went on a couple of lucky runs that lasted for a few weeks. I used those winnings to upgrade my desktop, and I remember encouraging myself to spend the winnings because I kept overthinking if I should keep pushing my luck or walk away.
