Alternatively, there are markets for betting on the series winner. That way you can remove the potential risk in case the favored team underperforms in one of the home games because it can always happen.

I wouldn't quickly count the Heat out, they have a good chance to avoid the play-ins and possibly face the Cavs. If they fall to the play-ins, they can probably beat the Bucks in the first round because they've been dropping games against teams they could easily beat.

Both of them landing in Group B is probably for the better because Group A is like the group of death with Team Falcons, Team Spirit, Heroic, and Azure Ray.

This is probably the farthest they can go IMO, and i'll be surprised if one of them advances to the playoffs. If they can get help from Team Liquid like what happened in DreamLeague maybe there's a possibility.

I also expected a draw, even a win for Man United would've been fine if they held on, but they just had to give up those two goals at the end. 

@slaman29 Now we're all tied up with that one hell of a comeback from Chelsea and it comes down to the F1 and Cup final on the weekend. 

If I don't get at least one point out of those two remaining questions this might be my worst loss of the season.

If I could suggest one thing for casinos and sportsbooks it's probably the trading bots or maybe something similar to an exchange feature because the transaction fees sometimes become a big deciding factor and one of the best ways to save on fees is exchanging your coins.

To be specific, something similar to this service, but on other casinos and sportsbooks.

It's still a toss-up and thinking this match would be more reliable than casino games is a trap given they've already secured their fair share of money.

Jake Paul might have the upper hand if we look at the odds, but you never know what the other side plans to do, and to me, it's always possible for Mike Tyson to step up even though there's not much on the line.

I'd rather bet my money on another match and betting on casino games doesn't look any worse.

I'm referring to the CS squad, but it's also nice to hear their Dota squad qualify for a tournament.

After taking a break for a few days i'm testing my luck with this Dota bet on Heroic. They're currently the best SA team, and only got here because they had tougher matchups facing three good EU teams. The odds are still close because all of Talon's series have gone to all three maps, and it's a decent alternative bet for 1.85 odds.

That's one of the many downsides of cashing out your bets too frequently, as i've been there at one point.
 
The cashout feature is always discouraged for a good reason like potentially missing out on a late-game winner when things could still change at the final moment.

I can relate to that, as I used to be one of those gamblers who prefer to prolong their bankroll and avoid losses when possible.

As much as I agree with you, gamblers would always fall for one of the two mistakes mentioned because they can quickly forget this advice while playing and only realize the same thing once it's over.

I assume he's referring to the feeling of winning because once you start winning most of your bets within a short period or have a winning session it always gives you the adrenaline rush. That kind of feeling might encourage you to return for more if you don't have any hobbies aside from gambling.

I didn't expect Nigma Galaxy to exit out of the tournament this early when there are a lot of weaker teams in this Swiss group. I thought they could've gone up 2-0 in their first two series since Talon had a stand-in.

On the bright side, their elimination put Team Secret one step closer to qualifying, and they might have a higher chance of qualifying with Satanic filling in for 23's absence in their decider series against Aurora.

It'd be amazing to see if all three SEA teams somehow advance and win their series.

Aside from what everyone has said, I guess it's because some people aren't satisfied with their source of income and find it fun to win money through gambling.

That's probably true to a certain extent because as the others already mentioned, casinos would always step up to provide the best experience for their best customers, and that's the high rollers.

IMO there are still high rollers who are addicted because of other reasons like struggling to stop themselves from chasing their losses.

My latest big win was probably $50~, it might not seem a lot to most gamblers, but to me, it's a big amount when most of my recent deposits have been 10x less than that. These big wins always boost my confidence and encourage me to take a few risky moves. Similarly, i'd increase my betting amounts when i'm starting to win more than usual so I can take advantage of my luck before it falls off. And if it does backfire within a few bets, i'd immediately switch back to my regular betting amounts.

I'll keep playing in the same casino because most casinos now have a leveling system and I wouldn't easily be discouraged by my bad luck. Even if my losses stack up, i'll eventually get some of it back through their VIP rewards.

I understand that those two go together, but there's not much change in switching through another casino, and it could be a coincidence that you're winning on another casino. If I keep on losing then so be it, i'd look for a different solution like taking a break from gambling or reducing my deposit to a budget-friendly level. 

You have to remove those thoughts about your losses and always shift the blame to yourself for going all in instead of the casino.

Regardless of the low probability of losing your bet, it's still a bad decision to go all in because you'll quickly lose more of your deposits before recovering your losses.

Sometimes that's how luck works, they'll hit you with a loss when you least expect it, and once you sink in more hours, you'll know these low-probability outcomes happen more often.

That might work if it becomes an actual rule next season, but I doubt it'll get approved by the Cro2 team when we already have enough punishments.

That's how my matchup ended in the previous round. It's quick and less stressful even when you're on the losing end.

I guess seeing a duel with both teams having the same answers from the first question until the final is more than possible. 

My thoughts are the same, aside from that unfortunate hiccup from the VP/G2 series, they handled this first CS2 major better than expected.

On top of that, they rose four spots from the world ranking. It's still unreal that this iteration of Navi would take home the trophy and beat them one-sidedly on the decider map.

Regardless of the standards, I would categorize it as gambling and put it on the lower end, like those games with loot boxes because you still win a prize, but the rates are worse than actual casino games. Luck is always a factor because claw machines can be modified to only work at a certain time and you don't know how many tries are needed before it hits that specific threshold where you can snag a prize. In the long run, the owner should always come out on top unless they didn't set it properly.

The games I frequently go all in are Dice and Blackjack because I always prefer to play with odds close to doubling my bet.

I don't recall my betting record specifically on going all in, but most are losses. Maybe my record would be like 1/20 if I had to give an idea and it made me realize that i'll have a higher success rate of recovering my bankroll if I stick to my regular bet amounts until the end.

It's mostly due to your multi-bet's last leg. The live odds are higher than the pre-live from 2.07 to 3.45, and can likely fail when you start to look at the situation of the match(85 mins in with only 1 goal).

The cashout amount would've been higher if that match just started instead of nearing the end.

IMO, that's still a generous cashout amount, even though the bet is only a few minutes away from being graded as a loss.

Our matchup quickly went down to the NBA question and my mistake in choosing the under on Curry worked. Anyway, good round, and good luck on your next match.

Also, it's great to see my name on the upper part of the standings, I just wish I could maintain that position until the end.

The set of questions this round is nice it's less complicated, even though I barely follow the other sports.
