I have missed the odds of Spirit v Vitality series. It is 1.70 for Natus Vincere and 2.00 for Virtus.pro now. I think it is worth giving Virtus.pro a shot. As a reminder, they already beat Natus Vincere once in last Major (2-0).
The pre-live odds are the same for the Spirit vs. Vitality, with Spirit hovering around 1.70 while Vitality is at 2.10~. In the end, Team Spirit took out Vitality on Anubis. Vitality had a good 4-0 start in the T-side, then gave up four consecutive rounds to Team Spirit which shouldn't happened knowing Anubis is very T-sided. I agree with Virtus.pro's value odds, but i'll take NaVi after seeing them show up during the groups.  |

My EURO predictions for the goalscorers are cooked with every player getting their goals.  It's looking bad now that my opponent is widening the gap, but it's still possible with the last two questions later on the Stanley Cup Finals and Le Mans. I don't understand anything about Le Mans as I haven't ever watched it in my life.  How is it going? It would be really nice if I answer that question correctly anyway. It's still too early to call, but I see that more than ten cars are on the same lap so there's not much of a gap for now. |

I'd pick the casinos with KYC, only because the ones i've used have been okay, even though there's always a chance for them to cause a bad experience.
I also agree with the others about avoiding KYC as a main factor in picking casinos because it only takes one wrong move, and you'd suddenly have a limited account with little to no option aside from withdrawing your funds.
Once you try both, you'll barely see the difference if they're decent in handling the other parts of a casino.

The only crypto bookie i've seen where you can combine multiple SGPs is Sportsbet. They have it as BetBuilder over there, but it's the same thing, i'm not sure if there's a limit on what sports are possible to parlay so it's probably best to ask it on the main thread. |

One of the local exchanges I used back then also doesn't allow gambling transactions, if they catch you sending coins directly through their wallets, they'll suddenly limit your account and require extra KYC before they let you withdraw the remaining balance you have on their wallet. After that bad experience, I always assumed that most exchanges are that strict with how they handle the coins coming from casinos. You'd be lucky if you could find another option since exchanges rarely care about how they settle these kinds of issues.

South America TI Qualifiers has started. I've got three countable teams in here, Heroic, Leviatan and Boom Esports.
But sadly, Boom Esports is currently on the low bracket and this is going to be a tough way for them. While the two others are currently moved on to the next bracket at the top.
And they're going to face each other tomorrow so someone is going to the lower bracket too.
I'd also put beastcoast as one of the few teams to look out for since they performed well on the Riyadh Masters qualifier after beating Boom Esports twice. Boom Esports will require a perfect run to qualify for TI, and so far the teams that qualified are from the upper bracket. They'll be the first one if they pull it off and it won't be easy as they could face Leviatan and beastcoast in the deeper rounds. |

Nice steal getting those high odds. In my bookie now, it's already 1.92, so you getting that extra is better than the current odds. Well, I guess you are right with your pick. It's pretty obvious that the Celtics are the better team now. Dallas had their chances but failed big time. So, it's okay not to follow your heart, as that's the right bet. Even if you were wrong, I'm sure you'd still get the Celtics in game 5.
That was from game three, I would've grabbed them without hesitation if the bookies still opened with the same odds. Now that the odds are slightly leaning on the Celtics, i'm taking the handicap for a better payout. I'd assume the Celtics will end it today, even though it's nice to end the series on game five so they could celebrate at home, they better finish it here before the Mavs gain some signs of life.  |

DOTA2 lottery didnt pay off for me, so now I have to hope high scoring Stanley Cup and De Minaur to win all remaining matches.
I'm also in the same boat, the unexpected results in the Dota qualifiers almost made me lose a point. The Stanley Cup finals match today ended with seven goals, we 9-10 backers are in trouble for the next game, it'll be a miracle if both goalies step up during the weekend and force the game to end with less than three goals. The next turning point for me is the Le Mans and EURO question on the weekend if I fail to get anything out of those three, then i'm dropping three points this round. |

and it's sad that the LGD won't be participating this year's TI when they've been participating it for more than a decade.  The org had some financial problems and it's why their squad hasn't been producing enough good results, but still, they qualified for the other tournaments. Earlier today, i've watched some of the CS2 matches from the Blast tournament, and it's nice to see Navi gaining form after seeing them always on and off in some of the recent tournaments they've been on. Also, their path to the finals seems the easiest as they'll be facing the winner of Astralis/Virtus.pro while Team Spirit has to face Vitality or Faze.  |

Have you had this experience before, and how were you able to manage/handle it?
My solution is the same as the others, take a break until I find a better match to bet on or force my way through the bad luck while betting smaller amounts. There are days when a regular losing streak won't be enough to stop me from betting because it still depends on how you spend your bankroll and sometimes you only need a few winning bets to bring yourself back in the same starting position. If I get the urge to go above my max bet, I always try to remind myself that it's not a race about recovering my losses and focus more on prolonging my bankroll. |

The 15th also doesn't seem too bad but it's too close to the weekly bonus on Saturday so the monthly bonus will drop on the 17th. It's a shame to hear that your monthly bonus is small, while mine has increased because the activity of the last few months has been quite aggressive so it increases the chance of bigger profits . In a week it can be up to 5 days in a row, the duration is also almost 5 to 7 hours. So the estimated monthly bonus this time should be quite large, but we'll see whether it matches predictions or not.
Speaking of the monthly bonus, it's already out now on their live support page. My bonus was reduced by half, but i'd still say it's a decent amount after lowering my gameplay these past few weeks.  |

As for the NA qualifiers, I picked Nouns instead of SR. Its kinda 50 50 at this point with Nouns winning the latest Riyadh qualifiers against SR so it was based on that I decided to go with Nouns. I gotta admit that the last SR vs Nouns games on the upper bracket totally shows that SR is better though atleast for now
Congrats, your prediction on Nouns paid off. I thought Shopify Rebellion already sorted out their problem, but I was wrong. They only looked worse, and that sweep in the grand final is probably a sign for their roster to change in the next season. I feel bad for the LGD organization/team which did not qualify for The International this year.
I feel the same for Azure Ray, they had two chances to qualify and still fell short. On a positive note, we'll still see these two compete in the Riyadh Masters. |

My heart wants to take the Mavs today, but the Celtics' match-winner odds are too good to be this high. Still, I don't mind if the Mavs win today since I prefer this final to go all the way.  @ralle14.. sorry mate, you loss on the 0.5
It's all good, I paid the price for being a bit greedy as I took the closing spread that was one point higher than the opening spread. |

Well, these two series' have been decided. G2 x IG and LGD is on the loser's bracket while Team Zero and Azure Ray on the last final match for their ticket to TI and as explained with these two latter teams, they've got better chances based on the bracketing win or lose.
The underdog train isn't stopping as Team Zero booked their ticket for TI after beating Azure Ray. Tomorrow's lower bracket series between Team Turtle and G2.IG will be a fun one to watch, i'm hoping G2.IG pulls through since I need them or Azure Ray to make it in.  |

Thanks for the tag once again, I remember getting tagged back then and somehow forgot to send my entry in. BOL to all of us and hopefully, the others also make it in time.  |

Here's a snapshot of the current bracket. Other notable teams, LGD.Gaming, Azure Ray and G2 x IG.
It looks like G2.IG should cruise through Team Zero while the LGD vs. Azure Ray series will be tough. I seriously cant wrap my head over the other teams aside from these 3. Personally Im more into G2.IG and LGD Gaming. G2.IG has proven that they are quite capable teams overall and LGD Gaming totally smacks AR's ass on the Riyadh qualifiers so yeah Im expecting them to do so again in TI qualifiers
I also view those teams as my top three in the same order since Azure Ray is underperforming or maybe KEV is just that good of a team. |

Recently i've had more success with the underdogs in the NBA, and my experience with the favorites is bittersweet now that more than half of the teams in the league are very competitive compared to the previous seasons.
Overall, there are a few factors that I have to check first before picking a side because the odds providers don't mind if they make mistakes in setting the spread, and it's easy for them to adjust the numbers as the season goes on.
