Unfortunately, we got cooked with those red cards and Son's goal was removed(offside) in the first half. I thought one was still doable for Tottenham and then the second red came in during the early second half.

This week was rough with all these upsets and unexpected results, but hopefully, we can bounce back tomorrow with the UCL matches.

Somehow, my best results are always during these low-scoring rounds but I might struggle in the next few weeks as four of my players are in a questionable spot.

Also, I was on pace to win another free bet until things ended unexpectedly in the Tottenham match, pushing me back by a few points. 

If i'm taking the underdog, i'll cash out once the amount is close to 80-90% of the payout, but it's rare to find a good crypto sportsbook with good cash out for all sports. In UFC or MMA betting, you're lucky if you can find a sportsbook that offers a cash out because, during my betting experience with UFC, all or most sportsbooks don't offer live betting for these sports. Anyway, that's what I would do if I somehow find myself betting on an underdog and the sportsbook I use found a way to provide cash out on UFC bets.

I caught this at the final minute before it got removed from the specials page. This one looks promising when Chelsea has been on and off recently while Tottenham plans to extend their streak.

I also have another bet on Tottenham's team total over 1.5, but this MOTD is the value pick when all three can align if they make at least two goals against Chelsea.
 

These past few months, my wagered stats reached around the thousands, so I doubt i'll stand a chance to beat the records of those gambling streamers anytime soon. 

With the way gambling streamers get their balance filled endlessly like they're spending play money, we regular gamblers don't stand a chance aside from a couple of high rollers because there will always be a few users who will gamble away a lot of money on casinos unless Trainwrecks gambles every day to maintain his wagering record.

I had to vote for the third option because not all casinos are in a position to sponsor or donate to these sites. Then again, as the others have said, it's rare to see casinos go the extra mile on gambling addiction when most of them have links on where to seek help (GambleAware, GamCare, etc.). If the question is only limited to those big casinos, I would've changed my vote to "Yes" because there's no specific amount and these casinos would easily make back what they donated within a week or less.

Congrats on the win, and I finally got my first loss this season. Fiorentina failed to make the most out of their chances, only getting 1 SOG in the second half, while Juventus got two.  

The Eagles took back the lead in the third quarter and should win if they can hold the Cowboys in the fourth.

It's time for me to go against the Bills for the SNF match. The Bills struggled more than I expected in the past few weeks, and the Bengals have more impressive wins than the Bills. I guess the bookies want the trend to continue since the Bengals always have tight results at home (4-point win vs Seahawks, 3-point win vs Rams, 3-point loss vs Ravens).



Edit: Winner, Bengals got the win as expected.

I agree it sucks, plus the gap between the quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals is a week apart, which is unnecessarily long compared to TI, where they squeezed the main event within an entire weekend.

Yup, BLG showed up in a big way, and Gen G didn't adapt from their mistakes by allowing BLG to pick the same jungle champ throughout the series. 

I've had a similar experience before when Sportsbet released their Telegram bot and you can start placing bets once you've linked your account. I'd say it's good because logging in through the mobile browser can be a hassle with the 2fa and with their Telegram version, you could quickly open Telegram if you plan to start a short gambling session. I guess the bad part is the need to frequently update their Telegram casino because it'll have missing features from the start so most of their players might prefer to gamble with the browser.

I agree we can't gauge the difference between the two except for the deposit and withdrawal method. I don't spend much time observing other fiat gamblers, but I still see a lot of crypto gamblers who fall for these bonuses and then post a complaint or accusation later on. I think OP is giving more credit to us crypto gamblers when we're not that different from fiat gamblers overall. I also see a good bunch of them who make helpful guides, templates, and other stuff that helps new gamblers.

With hundreds of players placing bets on Stake, there could always be another bettor winning on the other end, so I wouldn't say it's straight-up rigged. I've experienced the same losses whenever i'm upping my bet size, but I think it's more about the house edge tipping the numbers in favor of the casino than the game being rigged. Also, slots have one of the worst win probabilities, so it's expected to see gamblers lose frequently. I've heard a similar discussion where they said the developers can cause bigger betting sizes to lose more, but I can't tell if it's true.

That's how they usually schedule their matches to squeeze the best viewership possible and one of these teams will get swept or lose one-sidedly anyway.

Later, I have Gen G beating BLG by 3-1 or 3-0 since BLG didn't look that solid against T1 and their concerning form might continue heading into this series. BLG can still show up to make this series more competitive than expected, but I still think Gen G will close it within four maps.

I'm guessing it's due to the paused/postponed esports rule because the match wasn't completed, and it was interrupted or stopped around 70' based on the YouTube VOD that OP linked.

I also think OP should've won that because, in other sportsbooks, they'll settle those total bets while the game is still live. Maybe their postponed rule has a higher priority over everything else and it's why his ticket got pushed in the end.

That Raiders game was tight at the start because the Lions couldn't get anything but FGs until the near end of the half after the Raiders got the first TD.

The match for today seems like a battle of the defense as the Steelers are one of the teams that shines more through their defense and the bookies expect it as well due to the low totals(36.5). The Titans still have the potential to take this game away from the Steelers, but everything points to the home team winning when I think they are doing slightly better in offense and defense than the Titans. The Steelers also have impressive wins against teams that I think they shouldn't be winning against and it's why i'll be backing them today to cover at least three points.

It depends on the situation because there are times that i'll be using altcoins and the withdrawal fee doesn't cost much so you can quickly withdraw your balance within a minute to make the switch. If i'm using BTC to place bets, then i'll most likely stick with the sportsbook because switching from one to another would cause me to lose more when the fees are significantly higher than altcoin fees. The difference in odds isn't always significant, but I recommend shopping for the best odds until it becomes a habit because it'll help later once you have a bigger bankroll.

Yes, that was the MOTD the other day, and congrats on the win. I almost went for the BTTS on that match, but I still lost the other bet.

Today's MOTD is for the Euroleague, and it's best to pass up on this because Fenerbahce can always have a bad start, and the homecourt advantage might not matter as much when looking back at the previous Euroleague MOTD.

I picked the "others" in the poll because I prefer a promotion or reward system similar to what Stake offers with their VIP and ryzaadit mentioned the type of rewards you could obtain from their VIP. You'll even see other casinos offer a similar way of rewarding their players because that's how effective their system has become. If that doesn't fall under the others, my next choice would be tournaments and contests. I sometimes find betting competitions enjoyable as long as they're not mainly about wagering but more about hitting a specific objective.

Without knowing all the details on your side, we can only speculate, and i'd say gambling is more likely going to make you addicted before you become lucky enough to win big and affect your life significantly.

Starting with a low budget is great, but you need to remove those high expectations in gambling because most of the time, you have to go through so many losses and you have to prepare against those scenarios when they are usually the trigger point for an addiction.
