I'll be on the Nuggets' side for this game seven, last game they shot like 30% and I don't think it'll happen twice in a row. Don't get me wrong the Timberwolves are still a solid team, they're probably the value play here but I can't bring myself to fade the Nuggets at this point of the series.



Also congrats to you guys who took the Pacers, the Knicks had signs of life in the third quarter, but it was only a matter of time until the Pacers stabilized their lead.

Edit: I almost thought the Nuggets had that after going up by double digits in the first half, but their lead didn't last that long as the Timberwolves offense came online in the second half.  Lips sealed

I guess we got our winner already huh for the entire tournament and probably for the next DreamLeague. I was actually expecting Falcons to win lol
Yup, XG is too good and Team Falcons aren't the same without Malr1ne.

Later, we got two grand finals (PGL Wallachia and MSI), and I hope we get a three-game series between Team Spirit and Team Falcons so I can fully tune in to both finals.  Grin

Both strong team but I think this is going to be Team Falcons that shall go to the grand finals against Xtreme Gaming but I hope that I am right, it's been so long since we've seen Team Spirit goes back to the grand finals after winning TI.
Before they took out G2.IG earlier, I also thought Team Falcons initially had the edge, but after that win, it could go either way.

Yesterday, the Pacers and Knicks missed countless shots in the first three to four minutes of each quarter, I thought it would go under but eventually, they picked up the pace and started landing their shots within 10-15 seconds of each possession to cash my over 215 bet.  Cheesy

On to the next match, i'll be on the Mavs spread (-3.5) since they have the advantage to end the series today, and the winning team usually wins by four or more points.


Edit: The Mavs failed to cover the spread, but what an intense finish. Shocked
605  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2023-2024 betting on: May 17, 2024, 09:02:59 PM
I had a hunch that regression was coming for the Nuggets after shooting the ball for almost 60% in that other game, but I still fell for it.  Tongue

I'm changing my bet with the totals since the Knicks could end it on the road again and they had a good chance to snag a road win during that game three. Also, the Knicks spread is tempting since six points is a lot, then again I wouldn't be surprised to see it go the other way and the Knicks lose by double digits.

Two Chinese teams facing each other now, Xtreme Gaming and G2.IG. I don't understand if there's something to do with the points and standing on the group stages for the placing of teams on the playoffs.
Unfortunately, no points are given out for this tournament, but the prize pool is still big enough for teams to take it seriously. XG right now is on another level IMO, they've been rolling with off-meta heroes and it's working while the others are strictly picking the most contested heroes.

Now all is left is to see Falcons losing as I'm really tired to watch them winning without having a great performance during the game because all they do is to play together on the map and always have good vision + other teams they need to stop giving them favorite heroes and start to push them outside of the comfort zone because without beefy heroes , Falcons will lose for sure.
We might have to wait until the upper bracket final before that happens since XG is looking like the strongest team so far in this tournament.
607  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2023-2024 betting on: May 16, 2024, 10:52:47 PM
Later, we only have one game.
Here is my pick.
Minnesota Timberwolves - Denver Nuggets - Denver Nuggets ML @2.09 - They broke the confidence of the Wolves, it will not be easy to recover from that. I think it will be different today, adjustments. They will try to stop Jokic but will make a big mistake in the process, Jamal Murray will come out to score for the team.
I'm on the same pick too, the odds for the Nuggets match-winner are too nice, they've already pulled off two road wins so there's no point in doubting them.

The Timberwolves can still make this close since elimination games can sometimes bring out the best in certain teams and it's always possible for the Nuggets to have a bad game like the ones during games 1 and 2.

However the map results were horrible for Vitality. I don't know how they managed to play this poorly after all that effort until reaching this stage...

By this huge victory, MOUZ have captured a place for the IEM Cologne tournament on this August. Even if Vitality don't manage to win the IEM Dallas they would easily join the IEM Cologne thanks to their ESL ranking so no need to worry for them. But still they should have been more competitive in the final series here.  Sad
Vitality had an off day while MOUZ is just clicking more than usual, always dominating the first half to not allow Vitality to recover in the second half.

Currently, they're playing in BetBoom Dacha Belgrade and might win another tournament since their form isn't slowing down as they already qualified for the playoffs and Team Spirit is the only strong team in the other group.

Im not sure what the heck happened there but they lost after winning the 1st map, kinda weird.
They might've lost that series to a bug as Arteezy mentioned that his BKB didn't trigger properly in game three.

https://twitter.com/Arteezy/status/1790716429638959553

Anyway Im assuming that some team played not as good as they usually are because they are saving strats for DreamLeague season 23 though. There are alot at stake on this DreamLeague especially the EPT points. Alot of the leftover teams would be willing to get their hands on the EPT points to be invited on the next Riyadh Master
You have a point there since it's the last tournament of the EPT Season 2, and we also have the regional qualifiers for the Riyadh Masters after DreamLeague.

We have the playoffs later, and I guess all favorites should win this time after that underdog day yesterday.
610  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why People Naturally Chase loses in gambling.. on: May 16, 2024, 02:37:55 AM
So, from your own understanding, what do you think makes people chase loses aside greed which I believe many of us are already familier with?.
I'd say the feelings we get while gambling, and we're not always aware of our winning/losing chances. Others can't always suppress their feelings while playing and it's easy for gamblers to get caught up and make some of the worst decisions like rage betting during a losing day. While playing, we forget that it's easy to lose everything and start to realize what went wrong after we've lost it all. Most of us also lack the consistency to control ourselves and it's why it starts to become a cycle.
611  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2023-2024 betting on: May 16, 2024, 01:20:03 AM
I'll back the home favorites today to cover the spread (OKC -4.5), after that collapse from the Mavs in the last game, i'm losing faith in their players to step up and fill in the gaps.

If Luka doesn't show up again, OKC could take over to lead this series and SGA will probably deliver another big performance.



Edit: What a letdown from OKC, most of the players missing their shots while the Mavs are stepping up big time.
612  Economy / Gambling / Re: What is the Worst online Casino you've played on so far? on: May 16, 2024, 12:31:44 AM
The worst gambling site i've played back then was girlbtc, they're an on-chain casino so there's only one game and eventually, they started scamming their players.

I remember losing my money to their site because I was so greedy with their promotions and that kept me coming back for more until I got ripped off by the sudden change in their promo rules.

There's still another site I want to mention, but I can't recall the name, after playing on their site for the first time, I got lucky enough to make some profit, and their withdrawal process took more than a day. All I can remember was that they gave out tokens or a portion of their monthly profit to their investors.
613  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Be careful with people's money on: May 15, 2024, 03:51:28 PM
We've also had a similar case in the collectible section where one of the many known physical wallets got swept by a single user and then gambled all the coins away.

It rarely happens, but it's scary that the possibility for someone to gamble your funds away is always there, and the worst part with these cases is that most of them get away with it.
614  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🕹️ Esports 🎮 Prediction & Discussion Thread on: May 15, 2024, 04:06:58 AM
Heck yeah, grats on winning this and thats a very reasonable reasoning you have there. I would have jumped in on SR to win though, Im glad I skipped this one after I read your post lol. I might be abit biased whenever there are Nigma's player in it, totally would love them to win because Im a sucker for them especially Miracle and GH lol

3 spots left for 3 teams tomorrow. Im totally digging SR, Team Liquid and BetBoom on my parlay tomorrow
Thanks, Cheesy I was also initially leaning on SR because having Sumail is always a plus for their team, but there's still GH and they've always struggled without his Tusk.

I'm only rolling with Team Liquid to sweep Team Secret, they're better overall with the team fights and the individual players. Team Secret can still get a map but Team Liquid's wins so far have been only 2-0s.



BOL on your three-legged parlay, SR could disappoint out of the three teams you picked, but I still think they'll push through.

Edit: Just when I cashed out my bet they started winning the first map and Team Secret crumbled from that one mistake. 🤦‍♂️
615  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Did gambling losses are traps to new game on: May 15, 2024, 02:56:45 AM
Did you guys trust on gambling algorithms or do the random betting in the gambling site to check the current luck in the gambling sites…
I don't believe in the algorithms because the probability is always on their side to do most of the work and gamblers always make the worst decisions while playing. I used to play in every other casino I could find back then in hopes of getting better luck, but i'd say it's more or less the same when our luck can easily flip like a switch.

Losses aren't necessarily a trap. Well, gambling is already a trap itself, but what I'm saying is that losing doesn't necessarily push a gambler to bet more. It's all a matter of discipline and control on the part of the gambler. Other gamblers stop even if they're losing. They don't even try to get back at the casino or recover their losses.
That's true, it's more about how we react to these losses since we're not forced to play after every loss. Some still fall for it because they get carried away by their emotions and struggle to take the hit in these losing situations.
616  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ESports betting -CS:GO, DOTA 2, LOL, Valorant - Sportsbet.io discussion thread on: May 15, 2024, 01:31:37 AM
Well Im not trying to be discriminate or whatsoever but I probably wont bet on SA dota2 teams though. Their performances are inconsistent most of the times and yeah I'd bet my shot on another team or probably just skip the match. Anyway on the next game between SR and Boom which is literally NA vs SA, this pretty much screams NA dominance for me though so Im betting my shot on SR obviously
I won't bet on that SR vs. BOOM series, but I agree with the SA teams being on and off with their performance. Good luck with your SR bet, I also think they should advance if they can get their key heroes like the Tusk, Hoodwink, and Leshrac.

As for the round 5, we still have 6 teams to compete on the last day later and then only 3 will be able to qualify. So good luck to all of these 6 teams;
BetBoom, Shopify, and Team Liquid should be the last three teams to advance unless they start to tilt and pull some questionable plays again like yesterday.
617  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2023-2024 betting on: May 14, 2024, 11:19:30 PM
Anyone who thinks that the NYK will make a comeback in the next game as MSG?

I have them at -1.5 this early at 1.88 odds, I think despite that they lack personnel, they will have to bounce back in this game and the Villanova boys will have to find a way to win and get back the momentum in this series.
After that underwhelming performance from the Knicks in game four, i'm thinking they'll make it up by winning today's game. The Pacers can keep it close because their bench players can always put up points while the Knicks depend on their starters to have a big game. Then again, something might be up with the Pacers because the Knicks are barely the favorites this time compared to the first two games.

I'm also on the Knicks because I doubt they'll underperform two games in a row and this looks like it could go to a game seven.

618  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Accessing gambling sites only on desktop as a means to prevent addiction on: May 14, 2024, 04:34:51 PM
That's a good solution if you're starting to spend more time using your phone to gamble, and one of the things that helped me is a bit similar. In my case, the solution you mentioned wouldn't have much impact because I can easily switch through both desktop and mobile. Instead of reducing the ways I can access gambling sites, i'd limit the ways I can access my wallet so that I can't deposit any more once I lose my current bankroll and unnecessarily spend extra because of impulse gambling.
619  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🕹️ Esports 🎮 Prediction & Discussion Thread on: May 14, 2024, 05:00:51 AM
Team Secret got it done, but it was so sloppy that they almost lost it in the late game despite having mega creeps. VP nearly pulled off that game-ending backdoor, but Team Secret's Lifestealer was quick with the infest disarm on Lina.

Today, i'll go with Aurora to beat Shopify Rebellion, my main reasoning here is because of their matches against BetBoom, I know Shopify did look great during their win against Team Liquid, but there are still limits on the type of drafts they can roll with their stand-ins.

Max Win Baby!!! Thank you Stake.com.
Congrats on getting that x5000 max win in Lab of Lunacy. I've never had one in any slot game, but the potential winnings from a good bonus round can always be surprising.

Also, don't forget to claim this month's monthly bonus link through their telegram channel or email. I've reduced my wagering and deposit in the last couple of weeks, but i'm still surprised that the bonus they gave went up from $14 to $22.  Cheesy
