I think I will risk again on OG but I will check the odds first. If it is good, I will put a good amount for OG to win.

I was not able to make a bet on the game because I was busy but it is good that OG won the game.



Ooredoo Thunders was great on their match but sadly, they'll be the one who won't be getting the slot.

Congratulations to OG, the game 3 was intense and it's a comeback. I thought that OT was going to get that game and it was looked that they're winning the game. With the line up of OG, it's hard to see them win that match anyway.

But then, those crucial moments made them capitalized the win and turn the favor on them. That smoke at the top near Radiant's first tower, that actually was the turning over moment for OG.

The set of teams for the Berlin major is now complete!

It looks like it is an exciting game. I'll watch the replay later. I am glad that OG was able to take the last slot for Berline Major. It does not feel like it is a major if OG is not in there.

I'm excited for the WEU tiebreakers later today and the first one will be Tundra vs Gaimin Gladiators, without looking at their recent results I would lean on Gaimin here but their recent performance isn't the same after they dropped a map against Nigma during their last series while Tundra is looking like the better team as they went 2-1 in the last week.

Tundra would be a value bet for today's tiebreaker matches as their odds are hovering around 2.10 at the moment and I don't think GG should be the slight favorite @1.68 when they lost 2-0 in the previous matchup.

For the second tiebreaker (OG vs Ooredoo Thunders) OG @1.55 should win as they finally got their stuff together and beat Entity Gaming in the last series to avoid relegation and even potentially take the last spot for the Berlin Major.



I don't have any bet for the remaining tiebreakers Monaspa vs Nigma Galaxy as these will all be a bo1 and I think both teams are performing at a similar level but if I have to pick one of the two i'll side with Nigma Galaxy as their results look better.



I am excited as well but I will not be able to watch the games later. I got to be somewhere, and I will not have a chance to watch it.

I think it is logical to bet on Tundra since they won against GG the first time they meet on this tour but I do not think that GG will commit the same mistakes they did in their last meeting. Anyway, there is not much at stake in this match since they are both qualified already for the Major.

The tiebreaker games between OG and Ooredoo Thunder though have a high stake. The winner of this match will go to Berlin Major and some DPC points that is heavily needed to qualify for TI.

The lines are not yet open in stake.com so I will post my bets later. I will most likely go for GG and OG depending on the odds.

Got a nice win on my bet earlier. Cleveland cut it too close to my handicap but still got the win. And Denver had good defense on the last possession of the Warriors to secure the win. Klay got a look on 3 points but did not go in on the first try and got blocked by Jamal Murray on the second. It is good to see that the Nuggets can win without Jokic on the floor. Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr stepped up to push the win.

Have been in crypto just over a year now so have yet to experience a bull market and up till now I have just bought and held.

Currently my portfolio is 10% down and am not planning on selling any until I 2x at least.

Bitcoin takes up 30% of my portfolio with the rest in altcoins.

What is everyone expecting in 2024/25 bull run? Is a 10x a good return or should we be hoping for more?

The current price of bitcoin is just a third of the ATH of the moment. And I expect that price will easily be overthrown as the ATH in the next bull run. I expect the bull run in 2025 will easily double the ATH. So, you can expect at least x6 of your current investment. That is given that it follows the usual trend when Bitcoin is on the bull run. But do not put too much on this but take as much profit as you can on mini bull runs so you won't regret it when your expectation does not happen.

The Berlin major is about to get full, only the last one slot from WEU is being waited on to fill the whole stack of participants. So, the last slot is either going to be taken and will be fighted for by OG and Ooredoo Thunders.

Honestly, majority of us here would like to see OG participate the Berlin major and take that last slot but OT won't just allow that to happen easily and we'll get to see it happen later.

For the list of participating teams, you can see it here guys --> https://liquipedia.net/dota2/ESL_One/Berlin_Major/2023

When Yuragi was interviewed after their win against Entity, he said that they have a good chance to get into Berlin Major. It means that he is confident that they will beat Ooredoo Thunders in their tiebreaker game for the Major slot. There is a reason he is confident though. They easily beat Ooredoo in their first match on this tour. There is no reason they will be beaten unless they slack off and failed to prepare for the series against Ooredoo.

I think I will risk again on OG but I will check the odds first. If it is good, I will put a good amount for OG to win.

Okay na din kabayan at di tayo itlog haha. Anong nangyari naba sa Clippers ngayon, andyan naman si Kawhi pero parang di talaga nila kaya. Kahapon ay pumabor ulit ako sa kanila laban sa Miami Heat, ganun din, olats ulit kaya safe distance na muna ako sa Clippers ngayon. Masyadong on/off si Broody.

Mukhang di nila kaya magpanalo kapag wala si Paul George sa line up. Malaking tulong din naman kasi talaga ang production ni Paul George sa Clippers. Maganda naman ang performance ni Kawhi at WB sa mga games nila pero natatalo pa rin sila. Pero malamang pagbalik ni Paul George sa playoffs, mag iiba ang laro nila at maganda ang magiging resulta.

Ang next game ng Clippers ay laban sa Lakers. Magandang mapanood ito dahil ito ang first time na makakalaban ni WB ang previous team nia na Lakers. Hirap manalo ang Lakers sa Clippers pero makikita natin kung nag-improve nga talaga sila ngayong wala na si Westbrook sa kanila.

  Hanggang ngayon ay hindi parin malinaw kung legit nga ba o scam ang naturang site na ito ngunit aking susubukan at lalaruin ang mga laro sa online gambling site na nabanggit at aalamin ko kung talagang mananalo ako at aking maiwiwithdraw ang aking perang napanalunan.

Okay din naman na subukan mo para malaman natin kung legit o hindi. 200 yata minimum na deposit dyan kaya mura lang naman kung gusto mo subukan.

May kawork ako na sumubok na dyan at nananalo naman. Pero nagkamali siya ng lagay ng G-Cash, typo error. Hanggang ngayon di pa rin nia na withdraw kasi ang tagal daw palitan yung g-cash which is supposed to be madali lang dapat kung gusto talaga palitan ng customer service.

Pero yung nagrefer sa kanya, nakapag withdraw na daw.

So, di ko alam, baka legit sa "ngayon" at may balak maging scam in the future itong app na to.

Cleveland Cavaliers vs Indiana Pacers
The Indiana Pacers (34-44) will visit the Cleveland Cavaliers (48-30) tonight at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse. It is good to bet on Cavs to bully the shorthanded Pacers on their home tonight. It is good time to bet for the spread to go on favor of the Cavaliers.
Pacers key injuries: Chris Duarte (ankle) out, Tyrese Haliburton (ankle, elbow) out, Myles Turner (ankle) questionable
Cavaliers key injuries: Jarrett Allen (groin) questionable, Isaac Okoro (knee) out

Milwaukee Bucks vs Philadelphia 76ers
The Philadelphia 76ers (51-26) will visit the Milwaukee Bucks (55-22) tonight at Fiserv Forum. The Bucks should win this game at home. The moneyline odd is good for parlay but you can also take the spread because the Bucks should win and cover.
Bucks key injuries: Jevon Carter (knee) questionable


Denver Nuggets vs Golden State Warriors
The Golden State Warriors (41-37) will visit the Denver Nuggets (51-26) tonight at Ball Arena. This will be a good match up and should be a close fight, but seeing the Warriors are really bad on the road this season, I put my bet on the home team to win the game.
Warriors key injuries: Andrew Wiggins (personal) out
Nuggets key injuries: Nikola Jokic (calf) questionable, Jamal Murray (knee) probable, Michael Porter Jr (hee) probable

Blast Premier Spring Finals are looking like it will be Cloud 9 as they are just massacring a very deflated Big team on their determining map.
https://www.hltv.org/news/35902/cloud9-to-clash-with-big-for-blast-premier-spring-final-spot

Pain gaming are up next against Imperial Esports to see who is going to the Finals happening in Washington DC between Europe vs Americas qualifying teams.

Take your bets on Sportsbet.io official sponsored esports team Imperial Esports at the link below:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/esports-betting

Imperial is looking to crush the first map as they take the lead 13-9 and crush the eco of Pain. Pain has to make a comeback on the second map. Imperial is really good in inferno so there is no question they will win this map. Pain has beaten serious competition before so they may still tie the series on the next map and go to a third. We will see how they will perform.

Slowly the discussion will come up if Kyrie is actually a winner.

Before lebron returned to the Cavs they were really bad ( obviously without Kyrie they wouldn’t have won that chip though), in Boston he didn’t win anything, we all know what happened in Brooklyn also.

No doubt he is super talented but it seems that’s not enough.

Teams pay him a lot or trade previous assets for him just to get disappointed, this rental ( I doubt he will sign with the Mavs) was one of the worst deals for them in this era. Front office panicked to get Luka a co star and it totally failed .

They throw too much to get Kyrie and they left their defense wide open. No one is left in the Mavs to do the defense for them. They are now mostly offensive teams and we know in NBA that defense is very important and mostly, a defensive team has a better chance of winning than a mostly offensive team.

With their loss earlier against the Clippers against the Heat, their tunnel to participate in the play-in becomes more and more smaller as days goes by. I'd choose the Jazz over the Dallas right now to participate in the post-season games because they certainly got more chances to reach further and it's not impossible to happen.

It seems to me that both teams have almost no chance of even making the play-in tournament. The Jazz has one less win than the Mavs, and it's unlikely they will be able to beat all of their opponents in the remaining games of this season. Same thing with the Mavs, and I don't really believe they can be ahead of the Thunder in the battle for the last play-in tournament spot. Honestly, I don't know the exact reason why the Mavs have performed so poorly, but it's obvious their management made a big mistake as the Luka-Irving duo proved ineffective.

They still have a chance to join the Play-in tournament but they have to win most of the 4 games left they have. It is hard to do but it is still doable. Maybe not for Jazz since they have 2 Lakers games and a Nugget game ahead of them. I do not think they will make the play-in but Mavs still has a chance to get in. They have Hawks, Kings, Bulls and Spurs as their remaining games in the season.

TNTs chances of losing per game in the series will depend on the support of their local players as no question on their import that will surely always have a best performance per game.

If either Pogoy or Williams won't be able to provide good contribution, they are doomed.

Unlike in Ginebra that if one of their key players is having an off-night performance, there are players who can cover what is lacking.

That is actually a good take. All Ginebra has to do is make sure that they will force Pogoy and Williams to make mistakes and put them on a slump to win the game. But that would not be too easy to do since these guys when on a roll are also almost unstoppable.  They can score outside and force their will inside. It will still be a lot of work for Ginebra to force them to a bad game. Especially how they perform at this conference. In the last few conferences, there is always someone injured in their team which is why they can't win a championship but now they are all healthy.
672  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🕹️ Esports 🎮 Prediction & Discussion Thread on: April 02, 2023, 09:23:04 PM
I thought OG is a bad pick in general right now because they are underperforming? Lots of people have said this and I kinda think it's true. They are in the brink of being relegated to Div 2 if they do not get enough wins for this DPC tour. Would have been nicer for them anyway so that they can get their shit together and hopefully renew their outlook in Dota 2 and grind it harder.
I was hoping they will perform better in this match since they are on the brink of getting relegated.

And it worked. They won against Entity with ease. They are down on the second map, but they recovered nicely through Midas. They beat Entity 2-0 and were very dominant in this game. They are now heading tomorrow for the Major tiebreaker against Ooredoo Thunders. They beat Ooredoo in their first match so I think OG will have the upper hand tomorrow and could potentially still go to the Majors after a bad performance in this regional. We will see tomorrow if they can keep it together and perform like how they perform today to qualify for Major.

673  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: April 01, 2023, 10:52:46 PM
Let's just face it. Even if they reach the playoffs, the Lakers are in no condition to be competitive in the playoffs. They will be knocked out in the first round. Davis can be very competitive but he is a glass cannot. You cannot rely on him to be consistently available since he is very fragile. Even if Lebron stays healthy during the playoffs, his age prevents him to carry the team like he used to.

Of course, the current Lakers roster doesn't look like a championship contender. And if they make the playoffs, they'll have a tough time because their opponent in the first round will probably be either the Nuggets or the Grizzlies. However, I don't agree with you on LeBron. He averages 29 points per game this regular season, and I think he is still able to carry the team during the playoffs despite his age.

Hopefully, you are right with your take on Lebron because the Lakers need that. I do not see that Lebron could still carry his team even though he averages 29 points. The real carry of the team is Davis when he is healthy. If he gets injured, Lebron will not be able to carry this team.

Heat vs Mavs tonight and oh , this looks very interesting because both team needs the W and I don't see either of them backing up. With this , I do think we will have a tight battle with maybe low score because I do see both defenses putting up the work.

Heat are having 3 straight loses , while Mavs have a 4 lose streak , a win and another lose in their last 6 games.

Surprisingly or not , bookies do see Mavs as favors with odds being @1.78+.  Smiley

The Mavs are favored in this game because Bam and Kyle are questionable to play tonight. But if Bam plays, that will rapidly change. I made a bet on Mavs and hoping the Heat will preserve him for the upcoming games. The Heat is a defensive team which is the weakness of the Mavs but hopefully Luka and Kyrie will be able to abuse the absence of Bam in the paint. I am expecting the Mavs to force it to be a scoring game because they have the advantage in that type of game.

Dude just had a lot of beef against Filipino dota players. He was asked if he'll ever want to be teammates with Filipino players, and responded that he's okay with 1 max, but not with 3 or more of them in the same team. Idk what prompted him to say those words. Probably bad experience with his old mates in T1. 23savage back then never really achieved anything great, not without Karl and the gang. Idk what transpired on their stay together, but it's definitely not that good if he ended saying those words against Filipino dota players in general.

Oh, so that's what happened. That is actually justifiable. I am a Filipino and I curse every time I play DOTA on our server. I think it is not so different with the Pro players after all if he comments something like that. The toxicity just carries over to the professional players. I think he should have not said it publicly because he is professional and should keep negativity to himself aside from getting backslash from lots of Filipino fans. But I can forgive him since I understand how he feels.





Taking a risk on OG on their game later against Entity. I know OG is not performing well this tour and they could be relegated to the 2nd Division but Entity is not so great as well. I think they could just be toe-to-toe and either could take a win. OG had a good rest and hopefully grind enough to bet Entity.
675  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup on: April 01, 2023, 10:25:39 PM
Moving on, a good experience with their new head coach and let's see if the management will keep him or ask Coach Leo to return.

The result could have been different if Coach Leo was spearheading the team. He is way more experienced and could adjust his team accordingly. I have nothing against the new coach, but he is no Leo Austria.

TNT was able to beat them during the elimination round but that is not enough going into the finals since I also believed that Ginebra improved a lot and their local players are stepping up so they can help their import. TNT should also activate their local players, they have to start playing as a team here if they wanted this championship so bad.

We should not base anything on the elimination round. It is just 1 game, and the Finals is a best of 7. I do not think that TNT solely relies on their import to carry them. The locals are doing great, and the ball rotation is exceptional. They are really good except that Ginebra has been playing with their import for several years now. They have very good chemistry with Justin Brownlee which could be lethal when it comes to clutch moments. This will all boil down to the coach and coaching staff. I think we will witness a very exciting PBA Finals.

Just two games for today but surely these two games will be exciting.

Miami Heat vs Dallas Mavericks
The Dallas Mavericks (37-40) will visit the Miami Heat (40-37) tonight at the Miami-Dade Arena. There is a possibility that Bam and Kyle will set this one out. Given that, there is a chance that the Mavericks can still a game from the Heat and with the odds given on Moneyline, it is worth the risk.
Mavericks key injuries: Frank Ntilikina (knee) questionable
Heat key injuries: Bam Adebayo (hip) questionable, Nikola Jovic (back) out, Kyle Lowry (knee) questionable


New Orleans Pelicans vs Los Angeles Clippers
The Los Angeles Clippers (41-37) will visit the New Orleans Pelicans (39-38) tonight at Smoothie King Center. The Clippers is slightly underdog but they might want a revenge on their last week's lost against the Pelicans.
Clippers key injuries: Paul George (knee) out, Eric Gordon (hip) questionable, Marcus Morris Sr (illness) out
Pelicans key injuries: Zion Williamson (hamstring) out


677  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: April 01, 2023, 04:06:38 PM
Yes, I thought that the favorite Cavs are going to win this match, as the Knicks doesn't have Randle in the lineup.

But Brunson carry the team and had one of those games that he no one can stop him, probably the Mavs are kicking themselves for letting Brunson. Although they got Kyrie, it was very different when Luka and Brunson play.

Anyhow, not sure what the Mavs will do with their current roster because it's evident that they need to change something to be competitive again.

That is also my take that is why I bet with the Cavaliers on this one. But I did not expect Brunson to carry the team against a better Cavalier. I guess I should not underestimate the Knicks. They can still ball even with an incomplete roster.

Agreed. Another problem might be injuries. Lebron and/or Davis can go down any day again so you never know what to expect. And if that happens who will step up ? Other than Reaves ( I actually say they ) who can you rely on? Deangelo Russell is inconsistent, Rui Hachimura does not reach his potential and the rest is also just a gamble.
Schröder can play like an allstar one night and like a Gleague player the next.

Gonna be hard in the first round, if they reach it.

Let's just face it. Even if they reach the playoffs, the Lakers are in no condition to be competitive in the playoffs. They will be knocked out in the first round. Davis can be very competitive but he is a glass cannot. You cannot rely on him to be consistently available since he is very fragile. Even if Lebron stays healthy during the playoffs, his age prevents him to carry the team like he used to.
678  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: March 31, 2023, 10:45:39 PM
Philadelphia 76ers vs Toronto Raptors
The Toronto Raptors (38-38) will visit the Philadelphia 76ers (50-26) tonight at Wells Fargo Center. The Raptors will be coming with all they might to end their road games losing skid but the 76ers are a hard team to beat.
Raptors key injuries: Will Barton (ankle) questionable, Gary Trent Jr (elbow) questionable


Brooklyn Nets vs Atlanta Hawks
The Atlanta Hawks (38-38) will visit the Brooklyn Nets (41-35) tonight at Barclays Center. The Hawks are bad at the road but the Nets also just 2-4 in the last 6 home defense.
Hawks key injuries: De'Andre Hunter (knee) questionable
Nets key injuries: Ben Simmons (back) out

Cleveland Cavaliers
vs New York Knicks

The New York Knicks (44-33) will visit the Cleveland Cavaliers (48-29) tonight at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse. The Cavaliers is favored to win this game and the odds is attractive as well especially I am putting it in a parlay.
Knicks key injuries: Julius Randle (ankle) out
Cavaliers key injuries: Jarrett Allen (groin) doubtful

Amazing performance by Boston Celtics, but we all know the true no?.

They destroy bucks but if this game were for Play off nothing of this happen, Bucks wake up and slap Celtics if the match really matter, because this celtics always fails in the important situation.

Have you seen the latest playoffs where the Celtics defeated the Bucks? It's possible for them to do it again. In fact, if you check the championship odds, you'll notice that the Boston Celtics are the clear favorites to win the championship, which proves that they are a serious contender.

When it comes to playoffs games, it all depends on the coach. How fast his adjustments are and how effective they will be. The Celtics have a new coach this year, unlike last year. They are strong this year but will the coach be ready for the pressure of the playoffs games? I know Tatum, Brown and the boys are already seasoned players but if there is no right guidance by Joe, they may not duplicate what they have accomplished in the East last year.

That Celtics game was something else. They really focused on shutting Giannis down and forcing him to take bad shots. At the same time their offense was incredible behind great games from both Tatum and Brown. They’ve been figuring out how to beat the Bucks for years now and tonight it looked like they had it figured out. The playoffs are going to be great this year.

These two teams are neck and neck and no clear winner on a playoffs match. Hopefully they will meet in the finals of the Eastern Conference.

What can you say about what 23savage said about Filipino Dota 2 players? He's truly savage about that statement or he's just being bitter with what he has experienced after being kicked on his former team and was replaced when he's still with T1?

I thought that it's just an April fools but he really said that on his stream but then deleted it but he said that he's firm with that statement. And he's got no issues with his Filipino friends and he's still intact with them.

Anyways, his team - Talon Esports ended as the 1st place on this DPC season and will go to Berlin major with 400 DPC points earned.

I am not updated with what he said about Filipino DOTA players. Can you share a link if there are copies of his stream before it was deleted?



The match between OG and Entity will be important for both of them. The one who losses will have to go through a 3-way tiebreaker to who will be relegated to the Div 2. While the winner will have to go through a two-way tiebreaker for who will go to the major. It is the last day of the regional qualifiers, but it will still be full of action.
