The odds have started shifting to the Cavs now that Mitchell is confirmed to be playing so now the match could be a toss-up if Mitchell performs well.

I'm still backing up the Knicks to win because the Cavs are still without their other key players. The only part I don't like about this bet is the Knicks are one of the teams that usually disappoint me whenever I bet on these guys.

I missed the last two football MOTD that somehow won and tomorrow's MOTD might end the streak as they're offering the cup game between Newcastle and Man United.

Several cup games will start within a few hours and I made this small double multi with a total of 2.1 odds. I'm only putting a small unit on this since these types of matches always have a bunch of favorites performing worse than expected.



Edit: Parlay lost, St Pauli won but it required extra time to find their second goal.

The other posts from the previous pages already mentioned some good points. It'll depend on your friend's financial situation because if money isn't the main issue, it might be worth waiting longer to see what other offers show up.

Then again, as you've mentioned, finding a replacement won't be a problem for the lotto agent, so i'd say it's mostly your friend missing out on a potentially long-term source of income when you also pointed out that lotto is popular in your country.

I see that more than half of the team in Division 2 already have their logo and it's starting to look like the ones I usually see in live scores.

I'm also hoping we'd have a Worlds question in one of the next few rounds since their playoffs would last around three weeks, with the semis and finals scheduled every weekend.

I noticed that today's MOTD would be the Diamondbacks vs Rangers and caught the markets with only a few minutes left before it gets taken down.

I had to back the Diamondbacks here as they field Pfaadt, who looked impressive during his start against the Phillies. Hopefully, the over won't ruin the ticket as this series might be due for an under after going over in the last two matches.

Most promotions and bonuses won't give you much profit, and that big of a goal might require a big bankroll. IMO it's too big of a goal even if you have several strategies to help you slowly make your way through it and the time frame makes the goal unrealistic. I've seen others hit their betting goal mostly without a time frame, so if you're serious about hitting that goal, you might have to remove the time limit because there's no need to rush things and put pressure on yourself when it could hinder you from reaching it.

What an end to our h2h, I thought i'm about to get my first loss until I saw my opponent didn't take the Dota question seriously to even up the scoreline and steal a point.

It's nice to see MLB in the mix this week, and hopefully, I picked the right team because in MLB, there's no such thing as the favorites.  

We've had a recent thread that asked a similar question and you already answered your question. To me, there shouldn't be a specific age for gamblers to retire from gambling when it's one of the few activities they enjoy and look forward to. Instead of age, time might be the better way to answer the question because change can happen at any time and gambling can become less entertaining than it used to be if you suddenly find other hobbies more entertaining than gambling.

I thought i'll go down a few spots in the rankings once again but the automatic substitution saved me from losing a few points after one of my five midfielders didn't start.

Same here, I always have Haaland as my captain and recently removed it because he's been getting not many points these past couple of rounds and now I missed 9-10 points for picking a different captain.  

Congrats on cashing that CMC ATTD slip, but the 49ers still can't end their losing streak after the Bengals held them off to one TD per half.

I'll opt for the team totals on today's SNF as I don't have the confidence to go for the spread or totals, thinking it could go either way when the Bears are starting to show up in their past few matches. Two TDs in the first half shouldn't be too hard of a task for the Chargers when they're one of the better teams at scoring TDs.



Edit: The bet hits in the first quarter. 

Weekly Update(link)

Removed Sherbet from the table.
Moved Bitvest from PNYC to OFNP.
Moved CoinRoyale from OFNP to CFNP.
Moved Shuffle from CFNP to FLUX.

It's frustrating at times because most of my accounts have 2FA, but i'm okay with that extra inconvenience if it can save me from losing my account in the future. It does bother me a bit when I get logged out or my previous session expires because it sometimes gives me the thought of logging in at a potential phishing site, so I always double or triple-check before typing my username and password. In casino apps, it's easier to log in and out since they can use your fingerprint to store your login info but only a few casinos have a mobile app.

Same, today's MOTD is a no-brainer when Tottenham is one of the few teams that are raking in a lot of points on the road and we get better odds than yesterday's best MOTD.

The only downside with Tottenham's MOTD is that it could end in a 1-0 win for them since Crystal Palace held Arsenal to a 1-0 win in their first home match.

Also, some of the markets for tomorrow are already available, and the EPL multi-bet (Arsenal, Chelsea, Newcastle) looks more interesting than the next MOTD(Real vs Barca).

Thanks, I got lucky with that BTTS bet as AEK got a goal before receiving a red card. 

At least it's not permanent and he mentioned that he's willing to play again if there's an opportunity. When Navi wasn't doing well with this new roster, I had a hunch someone would give in, but I wasn't expecting the first player to be simple.

Also, Worlds and TI is back again later today. I couldn't place a bet on the outright markets for TI so I might just roll my Worlds bet if it hits. 

I've got LNG @1.5 to win against KT Rolster for the qualifying match since there's no good reason to bet on DK vs GAM series when the odds are close to 1.1 or less.

I'll always pick live betting over virtual games because those simulated sports can't replicate the experience I get in actual sports betting. I do agree that live betting is unpredictable if you're going to bet on every live match. The same can be said with virtual games when they rely more on luck due to how it works, so you can't back your bets with information compared to live betting. Live betting doesn't give me constant wins but it's still worth using when it gives you the option to jump in on matches you've missed and sometimes you could get good value bets through live odds if you learn how to wait.

It's the best play to go for since Mayfield might not be at his best for today's match, but I remember getting cooked on my last bet builder and I saw a lot of bets being placed on the over.

I still can't forget how the Bills disappointed me last time and i'm backing them once again to cover the spread. Their mediocre performance can continue, but i'm hoping they're due for a dominant win after a close loss against the Patriots.

That's what I initially had in mind when I looked at their matchup, but the longer I thought about it, the more I liked PSG to win.

Thanks. 

Today's MOTD looks more of a trap as both teams don't have the best form, with Brighton slightly on the better side since they're playing at home and most of the risk comes from Ferguson's ATGS, which is currently at 1.8 on the match page.

We better avoid that trap and bet on something else, i'm rolling with a BTTS on the Marseille match since these teams like to score and concede goals.

Yup, in other bookies, they're offering Fnatic around 2.10+ and i'm surprised when I think they're the slightly better team over Cloud9. I went with the over 2.5 and hope we'll see a competitive series as both teams are fighting to survive another round.



In the second series, if it was another EU team like BDS, maybe there's value, but with Mad Lions, I think the odds are accurate enough when they can't even beat the NA teams.

Even though i've tried both of them, i'm mostly a bottom-up bettor because I noticed there are only a few different providers that most crypto sportsbooks use. I could still spend a few minutes shopping to get better odds but the best ones are always on the fiat sportsbooks and betting exchanges. Those usually require KYC and that's a pass for me, i'd rather stay with the sportsbooks and take the juice on their markets than get verified when I don't wager that much.

Changing the way you view something isn't simple for most people. It could take time before they can adapt and for other gamblers, it might not happen because they can't remove the thought of making money or chasing losses. I used to play for profit when I started and the entertainment part is only a bonus while i'm winning. After countless losses, it shifted the other way because it's one of the few ways that helped me from spending more than my budget.

I agree, it's not the best comparison when the others already mentioned a few good reasons, but it's enough to understand what OP is pointing out.
