@owengtam09
Watched the end of the first half and the Liberty were leading by only 2 points. But the momentum are in their favor being on home court and their backs are against the wall with a must win or they are out and Aces are champions. Correct?
I think I viewed at statistic of the playoffs in the WNBA and when teams are 2-0 of a series they go on to win their title 17-0 which means they had never lost a series once going up two games.
By those statistics the Las Vegas Aces are championship bound at this point.

Talon once again proved to be the kryptonite of GG because even if GG won first map , Talon did a comeback and won the series by 2-1 and pushed GG into Lower Bracket. Now , I honestly think GG will be eliminated on the next series against EG ( even if EG looks awful right now and some changes would do good to them ).

Today , a lot of great games in front of us and we might have a lot of surprises today as so far we only got 1 with VP eliminating TSM.
TSM hasn't been what they were just a few months ago and from what everybody else has been witnessing so far in this TI tournament, Team Spirit seemed to have replaced them as the team to beat now.

Some big money going into them finally dropping a map seems to be the play going forward in this tournament.

Well, I guess not many gamblers are betting for the preseason yet. It's fine because it's still risky.  Grin But I am positive they will be here once the regular season tip-off starts.

We have 6 games tomorrow I love to watch just one game per day. My pick for later will be the Sacramento Kings versus the Golden State Warriors.
The other games will be watched through game highlights only.  Cheesy

I'd like to make a bet just for fun.
Sacramento Kings - Golden State Warriors - Sacramento Kings @1.72 Not much, just to put some spice while watching the game.
The Warriors are also scoring huge numbers this season so I am betting for another one.
Over 226.5 @1.85
I just wish the Kings could win this one and also help hit the total over score.
Good luck everyone.
Been putting some preseason matches on a few accas I've had yesterday and over the beginning of the weekend and they seemed to go over on points.
Had GSW vs Lakers over 232.5pts and yesterday Jazz vs Trailblazers 221.5pts and those were well over what the bookies anticipated they would be. Think last nights ended up being 270+ for the total amount scored by both teams.

Thanks @stadus for the warm welcome back for the preseason and the new season starting!

Have another NFL early game for week 6 with the Baltimore Ravens going against the Tennessee Titans in London.

https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/american-football/usa/nfl/tennessee-titans-v-baltimore-ravens-645ba89ac45a0fd5a84fc19d

The heavy favorites are the San Francisco 49ers @1.20x against the second string quarterback of the Cleveland Browns as ralle14 had mentioned with Deshaun Watson being ruled out to play for Sunday.

And Miami Dolphins @1.10x going against the Carolina Panthers @7.91x should be a clear win in taking the handicap.
825  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io Betting discussion thread rev on: October 14, 2023, 11:30:38 PM
That was a nice win for those who took the special as Mbappe scored both of France's goals for the victory over the Netherlands.
Too bad I missed it for an easy 4.10x bet special which I would jump at the chance.
Of course I missed this.

I always missed the 'golden ticket' ( reference from Willy Wonka chocolate factory in case if you dont know ), my luck sucks.


Im totally unsure about this, first of all I dont think Norway is going to win let alone to score over 1.5 goals. Aside from that, Spain looks pretty bad on their last game against Scotland because the game could have ended with a draw against Scotland so personally Im going to skip this

@ralle14 : what do you think about this mate? You seems to be having tendency to keep on winning this MOTD specials though
This is true, ralle14 is on a good run for his pick or miss on the MOTD specials so I would listen to his advice when he shares it with us.
Without EPL thought this was today as they are offered for 24 hours but I guess I selected the future markets as the link shows so they had the only one offered which was a match on Sunday. So still time to choose to play or pass as you had mentioned already you might do.
These teams have had their off days so you are right it will be a tough one to predict.

@ralle14 : what do you think about this mate? You seems to be having tendency to keep on winning this MOTD specials though
I also prefer to skip the MOTD, but I see Spain as a value pick when they need the win to widen the gap against Norway in the standings.
I'm not confident like the France MOTD because I still remember Spain failing me before, but it's more worrying for Norway when they already gave up four goals at home.
They picked Morata for the ATGS, which should increase the chance of the MOTD to hit, as he's the top scorer for Spain with four goals. I'd bet on the Spain MOTD only with a small stake because Morata can still fail to find a goal when it's a road match.
That is the thing.
I usually put a team that I had wagered on and make my prediction on that past bet.
I remember Spain's last match and Morata scoring late at the 73rd minute. If Norway is to win then Haaland would need to score early and the whole team would need to continue the pressure or Spain will win with those late winners as with Scotland.

USADA had announced in a statement earlier than president Dana White intended they would not longer be doing the drug testing for fighters.
So of course this had made alot of noise by fighters in the past who were cut out competing in the UFC made their voices heard. Especially Mcgregor.

Edson Barboza had a photo a month ago showing how big he can get and at his age had people wondering if he was on the same training regiment as the Notorious one.


With the next UFC Vegas 81 starting in about 7-8 hours from now, there was a fight which had been scheduled to happen due to a controversial stoppage ending in a no contest was cancelled right after the weigh-ins:
https://cagesidepress.com/2023/10/13/ufc-vegas-81-loses-edgar-chairez-daniel-lacerda

The cancelation wasn't due to either fighter missing weight but due to a non-disclosed medical condition for Lacerda.

Scotland failed us yesterday, but still, it's a decent attempt when their expected goal was higher than one while only having one SOG.

I like today's MOTD (France vs Netherlands) now that the ATGS they picked for France's MOTD is Mbappe, who currently has four goals and is the top scorer for their team. Earlier this week i've heard the others mention hopping on France before the odds go down because the Netherlands squad won't have some of their best players.


That was a nice win for those who took the special as Mbappe scored both of France's goals for the victory over the Netherlands.
Too bad I missed it for an easy 4.10x bet special which I would jump at the chance.
Ah well it is the weekend so will put my bits on today's MOTD special with a victory by Norway and this time Haaland to score:

https://sportsbet.io/sports/sportsbet-specials/matches/future

Better odds too so might as well jump on it for a nice boost in profit at the start of the weekend!

Here  are the  standings after Day  1,

As i mentioned earlier,  spirit are at top as expected,  however they did  not drop even a single map which is pretty amazing.\

For me the surprise is LGD as i didnt expect to be at top in a group  vs Gaimin glad

Very  surprised  to see both the SEA  teams at bottom,historically  there is a always one SEA dark horse that shows up at TI and makes some big upsets.

Talon still has 4 maps to  play so i am hoping they can  get some wins in and progress to phase 2  Roll Eyes
Taking Team Spirit and riding with them all tournament seems to making you look like a prediction wizard of this DOTA2 tournament.
Starting off 3-0 is a perfect start.
But maybe it is time to bet a different route because it is more than likely when a team is on a roll they will lose atleast one match.
Don't know if there were ever a team going flawless in these TI tournaments or not but I would tend to lean towards a different market at times like this.

Doesn't anybody else think Kansas City odds are deceiving or are the Denver Broncos just that bad to have them heavy underdogs priced at 5.54x?
Chiefs at 1.17x is even a bet to make because the profit margin is a sliver.
Maybe a betbuilder or even a high odds spreadline is worth it but not the ML on the Chiefs.

Here are the markets so you can make your selections and pick something resembling a valuable play:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/american-football/usa/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs-v-denver-broncos-651c6b52f2779c0001b80a36
I hate betting those lower odds, you win barely anything and super exposed to an upset.  Denver is terrible but any given Sunday anyone can win its the nfl.  Those odds seem about right not sure how the books can offer more money on kc straight up this game should be over by the third quarter.
Well the odds did increase just a bit an hour ago to 1.18x so a micro movement on the lines but everybody is on the Chiefs to win and by a large margin.
Broncos are terrible and there was even talk about Jeudy trade rumors right before the game is not a good look for Denver's chances either.

I somehow think the same after the Chiefs looked shaky in their last two matches, but I don't see them being bad enough to lose against one of the worst teams like the Broncos.

The spread on the Chiefs felt too much for me and after watching the Jets game, i'd better buy some points to avoid stressing out on the spread, so I whipped up a bet builder and took the -3.5 spread together with the under 51.5 @2.10 (odds boost). I imagine the scoreline for this game would look similar to the Bears game and pray that the Chiefs' defense would hold the Broncos to maybe a couple of TD or field goals.


I also took a betbuilder bet on this match but went with the passing and running yardage for Kansas City instead. Ended up with a 7.00x odds betslip so it is good enough for me to take the risk.
Was going to also add the over on points for this match to tack on there but then I remembered the last time I put too much confident in a Chiefs domination earlier in the season and that was the only thing not to hit on that betslip.

Not familiar with league Worlds tournament either but if it is on the same level as The Internationals of DOTA2 tournament event status but in the LoL realm of play. Those who are well versed in the tournament and teams are welcomed to discuss here while they are getting underway.
As from what ralle14 had already posted, they seem to be a major since markets are available to place bets on.

These last few UFC main events of the year are up in the air for who the main card opponents are going to be.
Was just watching something earlier yesterday about how Volkanovski was going to fight Topuria for the beginning of new year. But now hearing from the post conference interview of the Contender Series last night it seems that he will be the replacement fighter for the UFC 294 event.
Even the fight against Paulo Costa doesn't seem to be going forward as it doesn't look as if he will be fully healed enough after having surgery on his elbow so from the looks of that replacement fighter Kamaru Usman is primed to take on the challenge.

Correct the NBA preseason is already starting but many bettors don't like gambling at this time yet because the unpredictability of the game is too high due to star players in minutes restrictions so they would rather not bet and leave it alone until the regular season starts.

But the WNBA Finals Game 2 will be tomorrow and this should not be missed.
2 teams remaining and very soon this will end especially if the Las Vegas Aces sweep the New York Liberty.
I am just waiting for the odds to come out so I can put my bet as early as possible and won't forget it but there's no doubt the Aces will be the favorite here again.
For history purposes only, Liberty lost Game 1 at their own home to the Connecticut Sun and then won the next 3 games. They adjusted pretty quickly and I hope they can do it one more time against the Aces.
Was looking for the next game but didn't see it as NBA preseason were the only ones showing.
So had to manually type in the WNBA league to see the sole match show up so can place a bet on the game tonight.

We got the 2nd game for the Finals of the WNBA and here are my bets and prediction

Las Vegas Aces VS New York Liberty

The odds are 1.44 for the Las Vegas Aces and 2.60 for the New York Liberty, in this game, Candace Parker has an ankle injury and Riquna Williams is out as well because she was suspended while the New York Liberty doesn't have any injuries for me even though the Las Vegas Aces does have 2 injuries and the Liberty does not have any injuries for this game but the Las Vegas Aces win the 1st game for this finals so my bet for this game is the Las Vegas Aces



And I also Bet for this game with a total of Over 171.5 score will be my 2nd bet for this game


Picked the exact same picks for this match between Aces vs Liberty game 2 but placed them in a combination bet so the odds are a bit more juicy.
So received the Las Vegas Aces over 171.5pts @2.75x

Good luck to both of our bets!

Anyone else see something about Paulo Costa getting surgery on his arm?
Glanced over something about it earlier yesterday and was thinking this meant another cancelled fight for him.
Luckily I mistaken and it doesn't seem to affect his next scheduled fight with Khamzat:

Something about the next UFC Vegas 81 during the weekend.
Edson Barboza is in the main event and remember seeing something around a month ago to start the hype machine on this fighter with a photo of him training:

Edson is 37 years old and looks better than most fighters in their 20's are of course going to get these sorts of mentions on their socials.
He has fought the likes of Dan Hooker, Bobby Green and even Khabib so this fighter is among one of the best there is.

Do you know when CS:GO will be left finally and they will pass to CS 2 in official tournaments as well?

Because some time ago they said that it was the last tournament in CS:GO however there must be a few more tournaments which have been organized since then. I assume they are waiting for CS 2 to be fixed more for some more time. I saw even s1mple saying that this game wasn't playable yet so there is still a need to make it much better.

I have been seeing big updates regularly whenever I launch Steam. I hope the game would be ready for tournaments as well soon. 

That's actually their plan. They are to abandon CS:GO to move forward with CS2. There's not many tournaments left for CS:GO while it's still being the official game for CS and major tournaments, although we can't say that CS2 is polished enough to be a platform for huge tournaments specially if there are still some bugs here and there that could potentially destroy a team's strategy.

And now that this is mentioned, the movement still feels off whenever you try to walk or run in CS2. It's as if your character is using rollerblades or something because everything feels so slippery.
They had made an announcement of which tournaments were to transistion to the new Source 2 engine and Sydney's tournament was one of them.
But they had some dates which fell this week of others who would be having the update incorporated into theirs as well.
From the looks of it the match between BIG and The Chosen FEW in the ESL Challenger Jönköping EU Closed Qualifers were already using it.
And why not since everybody else being non-pro players are already playing on it! Since CS:S2 was released to the public late last month.

Raiders beat the Packers unconvincingly with a 17-13 score to what many would say was a very slow game.
Several interceptions by Love and even one made by Jimmy G had it a very low scoring game.
I had the over 43.5 and thought it was an easy one to hit with both quarterbacks having a high percentage within the 20 yard line.
That is football.
Better to put more trust of scoring touchdowns on the teams with better records such as the 49ers and Eagles.

Max surely wants to beat all the records on F1, including the world championship one, now in hands of Schumacher and Hamilton in 7, so i can see him here for a few years more.

Plus i see him enjoying being lonely in the top of the race without so much battling.
This is true since he has a competitive side around him so of course he will more than likely want to beat those records. He won't retire until he comes close and eventually smashes them.
He began driving in the F1 at the age of 16 so in a span of 10 years has accomplished so much. I wouldn't doubt if he drives for another 10 years from here.

Funny how the Green Bay Packers were the favorites just a few hours earlier but now it is the Las Vegas Raiders. They flip flopped the odds.
Might be due to the Packers running back Aaron Jones having hamstring injury so won't be available to play tonight.
I was going with the Raiders -2.5 with the over anyways. Just can't go against Jimmy G at home turf.
Jordan Love still has alot to accomplish first going against the veteran Garoppolo and the Raiders offense.
