Now, I don't think Daxak had a great run with Quest at all because this team is focused on pushing hard from first minutes , not playing for farm and late game and I think they made a right call by giving up on Daxak who I'm sure will find a team to coach soon.
It took them a while to officially announce his departure and one or two of the players could also leave because that's what he mentioned in his telegram post(reddit thread).

Usually if it's with captaining, what I have noticed with pro players. They like to be captained but as for another captain to secondary captain, there's the beef starts for one having ego of not being commanded.
With Kuroky that's probably the last thing to happen when he seems to be the guy that would easily de-escalate those heated situations.

I'm also on the Suns spread (-5.5), as the Pacers would have less firepower in their lineup now that Haliburton is confirmed out.

The Suns might be one of the worst teams in covering the spread, but with the Pacers needing time to adapt after their loss against the Blazers, i'd better go with the team that could take advantage of that.

How do I prepare myself for my first gambling experience?
What are the things I should expect as a first time gambler?
How do we react to my first gambling results be it winning or lose?
Thank you all for your helpful opinions.
Some posts above mentioned the budget, and on top of that, you should check the deposit and withdrawal limits of the casino you've picked because, at some casinos, they only accept specific amounts.

Depending on your luck, you could expect your first session to end within minutes or last for more than an hour.

I'd recommend holding off your emotions whenever you gamble so you don't make rash decisions like going after your losses.

Today, we got one of the best daily specials, and it's for the Liverpool vs. Bournemouth match. I already placed a slightly bigger bet on Liverpool's side, as that's how i'm confident about Liverpool winning by at least two goals, assuming Bournemouth can likely score one.

The difference between the regular odds isn't much, around 1.88 via the betbuilder, so it's more like a free odds boost.

There are still two questions left in the spreadsheet, but i'll need some insane luck to hit those two for a draw, so advance congrats on your sixth win. @vivekdkhyani

I need to stop falling for the underdog bait once more, as I always get too confident after winning the previous round.

What are your thoughts on this? Do you mind when dealers in your table change? Or does it not bother you at all?
I used to care about it because I also experienced those coincidences from having a hot streak to suddenly going cold. Now, I don't care as much because the dealers are only doing their part and some factors also change during the transition.

As the others mentioned, when dealers change, you'll notice that other players would do the same, and that could be one of the few examples for you to start losing because having fewer players on the table can sometimes shift your luck the other way.

Who is agreeing with me that Kuroky needs to retire? Just look, after rebuilding the roster of Nigma Galaxy and falling short to the qualifiers for the Dreamleague in Mena region. Ghost and RMN have departed ways with the team. I know that it's just like a part time contract for the two but Kuroky needs to give that spot of his to someone else who's better and has more quick and active reflexes.
As much as I agree, he probably won't step down since he has the power to do what he wants for the team, but I hope they've already found a decent replacement for the next qualifiers.

They don't have to find a support player with good reflexes when those are better for the core roles. IMO, they need a support player who can influence the team as a whole and maybe become the secondary captain for the team to help Kuroky fix their long-time problems.

I've got this parlay cooking with mostly the match-winner favorites and should be down to three legs, with the Ravens likely closing out with a win against the Texans.  Cheesy

I expect the first three legs to come in, and then it gets dicey with the Bills vs. Chiefs match tomorrow.

The Lakers with an unexpected loss yesterday, they were doing well in the first half then it became a disaster in the third quarter getting outscored by 16 points and losing to the Nets by 18 points.

Rockets vs Jazz -  Jazz ML @2.07, their winning streak was broken by OKC, they put good defense on Lauren early. But I think they will try to make a comeback and be on the winning form again.
BOL. I'll be on the other side with the Rockets spread even though they've been performing terribly in their last five games, they still have a decent home side that can take out good teams.



Edit: I can't believe those unlucky free throw misses cost me the spread.  Lips sealed

Every player on my bench won quite good amount of points this week and this made me even sadder. Watkins has been out of form for long weeks. Do you think that it is time to sell him?
I feel you on that bad timing as i've made a similar mistake of not trusting Palmer in the previous gameweek.  Tongue



I'm also at the point of replacing Watkins (for maybe Haaland), but still, he could potentially bring in some nice points in the upcoming weeks.

Anyway this new season with new rules from Valve totally sucks because there is alot of gap in between these huge dota2 tournaments. iirc last year, those gap were literally filled with online tournaments so there wasnt any long breaks like this season

Its going to be around 2 more weeks before we get to BetBoom Dacha tournament
The DPC schedule was nice back then since it was spread out throughout the month. The substitute we have now is DreamLeague and the qualifiers, which isn't as long, but we'll take every top-tier match we can get.

At least for me, the gap opens up more time to keep up with the other competitive scenes like League and Valorant.  Wink

Gonna try to call all 4 winners, just straight up moneyline. Immediately I like the 49ers, Chiefs, and Ravens. Gonna have to really think about it when it comes to the Buccaneers vs. Lions matchup.
I'll probably make a parlay for those three since I also like them, and i'm surprised to see the Chiefs being underestimated when they're a team that could thrive even more in these playoff matches.

For the Bucs vs. Lions match, i'm liking the Lions to win only because they've been tested against different teams, and they already beat the Bucs in the regular season.

That fourth quarter in the Clippers game yesterday was a rollercoaster ride from OKC going on a run to lead by a point to suddenly the Clippers covering the spread through the defensive plays of Leonard and PG.



I'll be playing the Knicks spread against the Rockets, who have one of the worst performances on the road with only four wins out of the eighteen matches they've played. And I assume the Knicks will try to get back in the rhythm after a rough 39% FG against the Orlando Magic the other day.

Today's daily special between Everton and Crystal Palace would've been worth betting on if it didn't include the total goals (over) because the last time they faced it ended with no goals.

I'll go against today's daily special and hope the match will end with little to no goals if possible since it's still leaning in that direction after Everton drew against Aston Villa.



-1.5 for the Denver Nuggets @1.90 is my bet. Wink
The Nuggets looked like they had it when they led at the start of the fourth quarter, but it all fell apart in the last five minutes.

Edit: The under hits with Everton winning 1-0.  Smiley

2.play it safe:. Betting on a draw can be a bit riskier, so it's best to stake a small amount or pick the draw no bet option which gives you
a refund.
In terms of playing it safe, it's sometimes worth even going as far as taking the double chance with the underdog if you can bear betting on odds around the 1.50 - 1.60 range. That's what you'd get if you pick matches with close odds, which is your third tip.

Having a probability comparison is very good but sometimes we forget about luck when betting accidentally.
That's true, even if we've done all the research possible and found the best match to bet on a draw, it can still turn south if one of the players has a bad day(weak defense, turnovers, etc.).

The LCK is finally back and will kick off later today, as we have one of the best matchups on the first day, which is T1 vs Gen G (World Champs vs LCK Summer Champs).

I have no idea who will win this series, and that's why i've bet on the over 2.5 maps. I'm hoping for Gen G to keep this as competitive as possible since they've upgraded their lineup even further as they now have Canyon as their new Jungler.



Edit: The 2-1 came in as expected.  Wink
659  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's your thoughts on VIP Programs in casinos? on: January 17, 2024, 12:36:06 AM
1. Is the VIP program important to you when choosing a casino?
The VIP program is important because of the rewards you can earn through playing normally and it's available for all bettors. In another view, it's like getting more mileage out of your gambling budget.

2. Do you use the benefits of the VIP program consciously (i.e. check the requirements for level up, check level up rewards, etc.)?
I don't use most of the benefits available because I rarely play casino games and mostly do sports betting.

3. What information about the VIP program are you most interested in? What do you pay attention to when deciding whether to participate in the VIP program?
I'd say how the rewards are distributed because one VIP program can be underwhelming compared to others when you've been spending the same budget.

3)Clippers-5.5

Clippers loss to Wolves on their road games, now playing at home and will try to bounce back. So I think it will be a big win by the Clippers against OKC who suffered a loss against the Lakers, also OKC is on a b2b game.
I've also got the Clippers spread because of the home advantage, but still, OKC can keep it close if they can have a better shooting day compared to the Lakers game, as they're one of the teams that continues to find success while they're at a disadvantage(4-1 on b2b games).

I hope OKC can make it easy for us, but they're still a team that can surprise us with an upset on the road despite losing games they could've won.
