Here's my picks for Round 1 of the tournament. (feel free to use this format)
I also hope the prize distribution is similar to the NFL multimaster where a lot of people received free bets due to the ties at different placements.
San Diego State - Creighton Bluejays Iowa Hawkeyes - Richmond Spiders USC Trojans - Miami Hurricanes LSU Tigers - Iowa State Cyclones Seton Hall Pirates - TCU Horned Frogs Houston Cougars - UAB Blazers Colorado State Rams - Michigan Wolverines Ohio State Buckeyes - Loyola Ramblers North Carolina Tar Heels - Marquette Golden Eagles Murray State Racers - San Francisco Dons Texas Longhorns - Virginia Tech Hokies Boise State Broncos - Memphis Tigers Connecticut Huskies- New Mexico State Aggies Michigan Spartans - Davidson Wildcats UCLA Bruins - Akron Zips

Expected loss on Tundra as they somehow got outdrafted on the first map, even though they held on pretty well their cores barely did much as CK fell off mid game as Entity had so much aoe to kill off his illusions.
Also on the CSGO side, I didn't expect to see Faze go down against ENCE and with that starting loss, they pretty much have to win every series from here on out if they want to take the top spot or at least win three series to avoid elimination.

Tough choice but I ended up voting for Bitcasino, what I like the most is that they offer instant deposits you can easily send a deposit with very low fees and usually it comes through within a minute. I enjoy the casino rewards they put out that involve esports (skin raffles) which you don't see much on other crypto casinos. They also have free withdrawal fees which is a nice plus knowing other casinos tend to charge more and their minimum withdrawal amount is reasonably low.

I'm betting on the Raptors to win vs Clippers, the Raptors still have a couple of players that are still questionable but I think they can still get the job done since the Clippers are playing their 6th game within the last 7 days. Even if they have the time to rest fatigue might become a factor as they played one too many games this week and the Raptors are closing in on that sixth seed spot. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FPw3Th1K.png&t=663&c=8xnwFUMUR2nuJw)

I went for KT Rolster @1.56 they'll be going against Nongshim Redforce, the only reason why I like KT in this position is that they showed some signs of life, and even though Nongshim have one solid roster that should've qualified for playoffs as well but they got hit with Covid and losses came on piling. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FGdzaJVo.png&t=663&c=kVUW502e7Bfbaw) Also liking Tundra -1.5 vs Entity, not sure how well Entity would go against Tundra but i'm expecting a sweep since they looked good during the Gamers Galaxy tournament.

Speaking of the monthly bonus it looks like they already released the link but they haven't announced it yet in their telegram or email. You can claim it by opening the support logo at the bottom right. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FNTHBOao.png&t=663&c=qR0VDtDNAc9Y3g)

Liking Detroit +14.5 today since their games are close when they're not winning and even with Cade out of the lineup I still think they can cover the spread. With that said I expect Miami's to win by 8-10 even if they have a healthy lineup. Taking Suns -4.5 as well, McCollum is now confirmed in the Pelicans starting lineup that's why the spread is this close, even then I still prefer Suns to get the win by a couple of possessions. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FqEGNKOr.png&t=663&c=7QE1DHGzUXGHeA)

^^ Excellent pick for legends again @ralle14 ! They won both maps in Tecent today and are looking strong. Have anymore selections to share for LDL?
Thanks ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Yup, I got IG +1.5 and LNG +1.5 both of them are fighting for playoffs so I doubt both underdogs would go down in a 2-0 fashion that easily. I just see both series as a coin flip since IG took down TES recently and LNG's opposition is struggling as well since they lost against a weaker team. https://sportsbet.io/sharebetslip/eb84d6a0-59b4-4656-8c28-83f0e398971f

I knew he'd come back at some point as I still think he could get another one if he really wanted to and at the same time, I wonder how much the future odds on Tampa Bay shifted after that announcement. Also, unfortunate to the person who got the final touchdown ball that went up for like $500k. ![Lips sealed](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/lipsrsealed.gif)

I'm skipping the Sixers after their horrendous performance yesterday, I can't believe it ended up that close against Orlando and i've noticed that they usually tend to have slow starts. Cavs -6.5 vs Clippers seems pretty solid now that the lineups are confirmed. Cavs only have Wade missing from their current lineups while the Clippers won't have Jackson and Morris from their starting lineup which is crucial if they want to have a good chance at winning. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FfoVov0E.png&t=663&c=5Cf6H9CMLBjEYg)

I haven't tried Vivo Gaming's blackjack the only ones i've played is Evolution, OneTouch, and eBet but if you're having an issue with Evolution Gaming then I suggest using another casino because i'm also in a similar situation where one of the casinos i'm using suddenly restrict my access from evolution for the past three months or so but on other casinos, it's still accessible so it's not on the provider's end. Try asking on the blackjack discussion thread maybe dimonstration have some experience when it comes to other blackjack providers.

I went with V5 -1.5 @1.50 as my pick, V5 have one of the best understanding when it comes to teamfights but they lack drafting and laning that's why they tend to drop maps. They'll be facing Thundertalk Gaming today instead of Anyone's Legend and TT is currently sitting at the bottom of the table, they have the capability to snag a map against good teams but I don't think it'll happen against V5 as long as they get decent comps and play their lanes as usual. https://sportsbet.io/sharebetslip/1b141d77-3d93-4b9d-9afb-f72abe4aad8c

This is a big news again, these players never learn from the mistake of other players in the past. What are they thinking for being involved into a match fixing?
Yup, it sucks to see them go down just like that since some of these guys have the potential to beat the other top teams when paired with a good team. For a G2-NIP match, NIP might be a good choice. They have a good series of 4 matches and they can continue it.
Good thing I skipped this one as NiP already secured the first place spot and as expected it went in the way of G2 even though they have nothing to play for it's still better for them to end on a good note

I'm also taking the Sixers -10.5 even though Magic is showing some decent performance recently the Sixers should still win by double digits since they're much better on the road given they've blown out teams like the Knicks and Timberwolves a few weeks back. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FE5EW06c.png&t=663&c=FiQOCjt78GRz5g) Added the over 221.5 as well since their total during their past meeting ended by 230 points.

How would a bookmaker be able to exchange information with another about a particular player? Only if that player uses the same nickname in both houses or has KYC in both houses as well. And even then, I think it's unlikely that they talk to each other about players.
I also don't know how they do it but it's certainly possible as i've seen a couple of cases before even with different nicknames it won't be enough to hide their actions since if they have some suspicions they can easily look for every account that placed similar bets or on the opposite side. If you are searching an arbitrage bet you need to use a scanner enable to find for you these options. Scanners are not free. Create a scanner or check bookmakers requires a lot of time...
From my experience: you need a LARGE bankroll in both sites you're using for arbitrage (but there are dozens of bookmakers that could have an opportunity for an arbitrage bet so it's become a LARGE bank roll "no limits funds" in all available site). Higher odds are available (generally) in exchange markets but there is not enough liquidity for a large bets... At the ends there are just few real options suitable and even if you are able to found the real advantage is just a little percentage. Time and efforts doesn't justify the work for such bets.
There are websites that offer arbitrage opportunities like Bitodds for example they have alerts that mention which sportsbooks to bet on. I agree with the large bankroll part, to make your effort worthwhile you really need a huge bankroll since the profits you get aren't that much and it could only take a couple of bets before the bookies catch on with your betting activities.
