That reminds me of an old story where an owner of a well-known business gambled the remaining portion of their funds in hopes of avoiding bankruptcy and it paid off once their bets ended up winning. I never see gambling as a bad activity unless you gives yourself up to it in controlling your emotions. So I think these two guys knew they were at the wrong side of it that is why they never wanted me to know they were into gambling.
If it's an idea expected to fail, they most likely thought you'd try to stop them, and maybe that's why they kept it a secret. It might've been a different story if he won, but still relying on luck, specifically through gambling, always backfires.

I am looking at ramzes profile, I haven't heard that he has parted ways with 9pandas but that seems so.
It happened during the offseason after TI and it was probably overshadowed by the other big players since there were too many roster shuffles at the time.
Surprisingly zai is back, but he's only behind the scenes now that Tundra took him in to fill the manager position. https://twitter.com/TundraEsports/status/1761028310862094844

I don't understand why ramzes has to stand on his own and build a new team with set of new and unknown players. I think he's a good mentor to them but if it's with this kind of tournament, he should be in a better team with better players.
That roster was probably formed at the last minute as they're one of the many teams that got invited, and with decent prize money, it's usually better to field a team than to withdraw from the tournament. That's a nice temporary boost for Falcons, even though it's only for the Blast Spring Showdown.

I've stumbled upon a tournament in SEA for Dota 2 named RES - Regional Series SEA #1.
IHC and Talon esports are the ones that have fought at the grand finals and it's just a best of 3 series game. Talon Esports made 2-0 against IHC and took home $25k prize as the champ.
There's this point that they've won too which is 100 but I don't understand for what it is. Maybe RES globally?
I guess they'll have a leaderboard similar to what ESL has done with their EPT leaderboard, where teams that accumulated the most points through smaller tournaments would eventually be qualified in bigger tournaments. It's like the leaderboards for tier 2 teams, but there's not much info on the tournaments or the points system. I only found some clues because they're also organizing tournaments in CS2, specifically the CCT online tournaments.

That's a recipe for disaster gambling, and drugs shouldn't be used together unless he doesn't mind losing the last bit of control he has while gambling. Playing in the morning half awake shouldn't be a big problem because if you can control your emotions and accept your loss, then it shouldn't affect you for the rest of your day. Doesnt matter whether you are influenced by drugs, playing early morning, being drunk or whatsoever things that happening on you. There's no way that it would really be able to affect out someones luck on the time that you do play gambling specially when you are dealing with luck based games.
I'd still say it matters because playing in a stable condition could impact his decision-making. OP's friend might still lose from the house edge of casino games, but it's better to gamble without other factors affecting your session and have a clear plan on what to do once he starts winning.

Have you ever tried something like this situation before? So what is your thoughts on this, 50/50 good for you or nah? Will you insist to have an ego battle if you are on the same situation? What are the things you would do to resolve the issue?
I've never tried sharing a bet with someone before, and I wouldn't let it happen. Splitting the jackpot would be the best case for both sides, but it's understandable why it only went to one person. I'd let it go instead of having a confrontation where it won't change the situation, knowing she owns the ticket. My way of fixing the issue is to give the guy a smaller chunk of the jackpot and call it a day since splitting the money is already out of the picture.

Unfortunately Dortmund and PSV ended in a 1-1 draw so the last leg didn't hit for you. Damn because then it would of been a good looking betslip.
It's still good enough for me since my other slip needed PSV to score and they only got one because of a penalty. If only the third goal came in, it would've been a great way to end the day. Sportsbet.io Specials section has a Match of the Day available for those who are interested in betting for UEFA league play today!
That Arsenal special would be a solid bet for today, assuming Porto can sneak one goal during the first half, while Arsenal would have no problems getting at least two for the win. I still have this multi from yesterday, and i'll just ride it out since I only need Arsenal left to cash the bet. Hopefully, Arsenal could pull through, even though i'm aware they could disappoint.

- is it right to sell ones casino account, most especially when the account is KYCed? - Do casinos have any policy against account sells?
Casinos most likely have rules against account selling and it's wrong to sell accounts when it's one of the many ways to abuse their casino. - If you have the opportunity of buying a casino account, would you buy or build yours from afresh? - Would you sell your casino account if you decide to leave gambling completely, most especially, your KYCed account? If yes, how do you trust the buyer? - Over all, is casino account trading legitimate? If yes, should I create a thread where gamblers can easily post their casino account sell ads?
I'll always start fresh because I prefer experiencing everything from the start instead of having a shortcut. Even if I suddenly stepped away from gambling, I wouldn't sell my casino account to anyone. I'd simply leave it until the casino deactivates it after some time. Buying and selling casino accounts are a thing because there's always someone willing to pay, but I doubt it's a good idea to open a thread here and encourage it.

Fun fact: PSG has been a sponsor of LGD before until it moved to the MENA region and chose Quest to represent them.
Unexpectedly, this is the only tournament they've been in so they might go all the way after seeing Xtreme Gaming and Azure Ray had an underwhelming performance from the previous BB tournament. On the other hand, 4 teams were out already and they'll go home with each of them $15,000 prize money ending with 13th-16th placers.
The only team i'm familiar with is the L1ga team (led by Ramzes) and they already failed before while they had kiyotaka in the lineup so it's expected to see them have another bad result.

I ask, has someone else noticed this same thing, as he said he has noticed in two different betting sites. I want to know if its a global practice to expect or a thing with the betting company or that the both betting sites were a coincidence.
Remember, he has series of wins that has been repeated for a long time and he has made serious profit from both platforms without betting with up to 3% of what he has won in total.
Maybe those two betting sites use the same odds provider, but it's unusual to see him being screwed over when sportsbooks would mostly put a limit on winning bettors. I remember reading a complaint from a gambler where he wanted to bet on the live underdog with the points and instead, the system somehow gave him a bet with the negative points. In the end, he got his money back after filing a dispute. I have not had this kind of experience before in all of my life on any betting platform.
OP also mentioned that his friend was a winning bettor, and it could be their way of stopping those winners.

I just got my free bet that I won from last week's BSFL round, and here's what I tried to cook. I combined Inter to win and btts/o2.5 goals for the Dortmund match. I'm expecting tons of goals in the Dortmund match and then Inter to at least win because they have to take the lead, as Atletico won't make things easy in the second leg.

The reward penalty is a nice update. We might still see a few people get punished, but the numbers should go down, at least in the top two divisions where there's more money on the line. Free Bets have been credited
Thanks, time to use these coupons for the Champions League. Great preview for each relegation/promotion match-up and congrats to everyone who got promoted.

It's easy to look at it that way because most of us lose more than we win, and I think it's only true when we're referred to as a group instead of an individual because that's how it is in casino games with the term RTP.
Still, some gamblers have lucky encounters and others could somewhat take gambling seriously until their winning record becomes the proof. These winning gamblers are only composed of the smallest percentage, so don't expect to see them frequently like it's attainable for the average gambler.

Missed all the opening games, straight 2-0 from most of the favourites so that would be decent profit if only someone had taken them
Same, I didn't realize that the tournament was ongoing and I was too focused on the CS2 RMR matches. I'll do both with my multi, only taking the match-winners for LGD and Astralis. I don't want to be greedy even though the odds are tempting on the map handicap. Another reason to bet against Entity is they're playing with a stand-in and I assume he could be the weakest link in the team.

The live esports betting caught my attention since I appreciate following and listening to tips from other bettors, but I don't think I would be able to watch the streams as much since I rarely tune in to kick streams. If there's a giveaway, people will surely tune in. I doubt there will be many viewers from the forum because gambling streams don't usually last that long. AFAIK, twitch is kind of difficult with these gambling related contents but you can probably also stream there at the same time.
It's possible if he's only doing the esports betting part, but I think he's better off sticking to kick if he's going to stream both casino games and sports betting.

The last time I ended up betting the remaining money I had in my wallet, I lost, and I started using that loss as a lesson because I would sometimes have the urge, and to suppress that urge, i've been using my losses to remind myself of what could likely happen. On the other hand, this winning moment from one of my older sessions was maybe the closest that i've got because I recall losing it all and the bonus was the only thing left on my account and it saved me with a lucky run.

I'd pick crash only because you can wait for the right round and use the current round to determine if the next one could go for bigger multipliers. If it's unavailable, my other choice would be the tower game since they're similar to mines, but less tricky in a way that you only choose between the three options and can cash out after a few consecutive hits. For live casino game I would choose blackjack.
I would've also picked blackjack, but it'd take a few more bets before you can hit your target.

I agree he'd be there with one of the best players if he somehow immediately stepped down from the scene. You rarely see those consistent performances when every other top team has been on and off. Also, we'll get to see him perform later today as the EU RMR B kicks off and they'll be facing ENCE in their opening match.

At least you got to walk away with a win because virtual sports are almost similar to casino games. Also, it's unusual to hear that new accounts must be 90 days old before they're allowed to use self-exclusion. So can anyone force you to make use of what you don't dislike?
Depending on the casino or gambling site, the worst they could force you to do is to comply with their requirements. It could range from KYC to deposit rollovers, which can be annoying if you don't read reviews and feedback from regular gamblers.
