Man I should have listened to you ! It would have been 3 consecutive MOTD win if only I had picked that PSG MOTD as well. I know for sure that Milan is not going to win this game but they are pretty good in defending though thus I had a hunch it could be a draw or probably a close 1-0 win from PSG so I decided to leave that one out but gosh Mbappe ended up scoring as well
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.

Grats on winning this mate
Thanks.  Cheesy

In today's MOTD we have a match in the Europa league with Brighton & Hove Albion taking on Ajax Amsterdam:

So maybe this isn't the best time to backing them due to them going through a restructuring of their team management.
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.

LOL worlds main event resumes in just about 12 hours
We have Cloud9 vs Fnatic and then Weibo vs MAD Lions

I dont think there are many times u will get a EU team at 2+ odds against NA so i love the Fnatic play tomorrow,
For second game odds are too skewed towards weibo but maybe mad can finally do something  Sad
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 really wouldn't compare gambling to visiting a cinema still, because while we relax with pop corn or some soda during movies, gambling in a casino might require some drink with a stronger punch like Martini or vodka.
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.
985  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you keep a record of winnings and losses in gambling? on: October 26, 2023, 12:15:08 AM
I used to do it, but not anymore because I sometimes forget to track a couple of bets until they stack up to a hundred. It was helpful at the start so I could keep myself under control after a few losses and then I got a bit lazy as my betting went on through the year.

If you lose your bankroll too quickly and gamble again the next day, it might feel like a chore and even a waste of time because gamblers don't always look back at the mistakes they've made from their previous bets.
986  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io Betting discussion thread rev on: October 25, 2023, 03:53:08 PM
For some odd reason I got a hunch that this match is going to end with a draw. I even put 0-0 on this match for the UCL's pool so yeah I think I might skip this but Im abit tempted with Newcastle's MOTD but Isak might not even make it to the scoresheet. I probably will throw in few usdt later today if I dont forget about them before the kickoff lol  Roll Eyes

I picked this for now because Im pretty sure that Dortmund will get higher booking points so that leaves the corner for Newcastle so I hope I hit this
The others are doubting as well, and a few are taking a shot at AC Milan's odds as they think it's a bit high after PSG got rolled last time. I'm only hoping for the best since PSG is playing at home and Mbappe made me a bit of money during the international break. To me, it's one of those matches where they have to win if they plan on moving on to the knockout phase.

I've also added Porto as my second bet since Shakhtar beat Antwerp last time and i'm expecting Porto to get all three points when Antwerp is becoming the weakest team in their group.

Grats man!
Thanks, i'm lucky to get away with that loss due to the promotion.  Grin

When I thought GSW had a promising third quarter, I thought they'd have no problems closing it out, but the Suns immediately went on a run to take back the lead during the fourth quarter.

Tomorrow, i'm looking at the Celtics since they've prepared another similar promo, but this time, it requires two threes instead of one.
988  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2023-2024 betting on: October 25, 2023, 02:00:10 AM
I have my trust for the Nuggets, but I'm leaning towards the Warriors on opening night. KD is undoubtedly great, but in this game, I think either team could win. What I'm considering here is the home court advantage, nothing else. Also, the noticeable line movement is interesting – it opened at 232 and is now at 235. I have a feeling this game could reach 250 points, so I'm betting on the over as well.
I agree, the value is on the Suns, but we can't underestimate the Warriors at home when they're one of the few good teams that won't simply drop a game at home.

Stake is also offering a good bonus on the opening matches. If they're the first team to make the three-pointer, it should be a sweat-free bet for us Warriors backers.



Edit: Curry with the first three to cash the bet.  Cheesy

Gratz on winning this mate !
Congrats to you as well.  Cheesy

We got a rare double MOTD for the CL matches later today and the more promising one is probably the PSG MOTD since they picked Mbappe for the ATGS. The Newcastle MOTD is the second-best after PSG since Isak only has one assist. The good part for these two MOTDs is they're both playing at home, so the ATGS should have a better chance of hitting but i'll take the best MOTD when there's only a little difference in terms of odds.

Chinese teams were not the favorites coming into this year as they usually are , its gonna be very tough to beat spirit but i think it will be LGD vs azure ray in the finals, giving china TI aegis back after some years  Grin
I would've agreed with you if both Chinese teams were still at their peak. At the moment, I have higher hopes with the other two teams that'll duke it out for the first UB final spot, so i'm leaning on a Spirit vs. Liquid finals.  Wink

Looking at the top match-up for Team Spirit and Team Liquid, I'm eyeing Team Spirit on this one. Both have been so good during all of the run on this TI but if we talk about consistency, it's always been Team Spirit no doubt. But what I like about Team Liquid is they always surprise us with something new. Whoever makes these strategies, either the captain or the coach or analyst or anyone from their team has a huge set of mind because of these new set of strategies that they make like the IO + WD combo.
I'm also expecting Team Spirit to knock Team Liquid, and I might take them to win outright at 2.70 because if they can survive against Team Liquid, it might be smooth sailing for them to the grand finals.

Going in for another MOTD on UCL today

Obviously this is going to hit if it is a league match but on UCL, it could be a different story as Kane has only scored 1 goal out of 6 goals scored by Bayern Munich
I was also eyeing the Bayern Munich MOTD earlier today and then passed on it when the odds for the ATGS were all over the place. Anyway, BOL on the bet.

I've placed a parlay including them and Inter Milan @1.86 since they're the only two early matches starting in less than an hour. Once this parlay hits, I might roll it over to Real Madrid since they're the only favorite I trust to win on the road(and Bayern Munich).

992  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ESports betting -CS:GO, DOTA 2, LOL, Valorant - Sportsbet.io discussion thread on: October 24, 2023, 03:46:34 AM
It will bet BetBoom and Virtus Pro and I think that BetBoom is better than them and they know more counters and gameplays against VP.  On the lower bracket, it's gonna be Gaimin Gladiators and BetBoom that I am thinking of but there are still other 2 teams coming down on it from the top bracket.
Those two should advance if they can still perform at the same level but the next round becomes impossible for GG when they could be facing Team Spirit or Team Liquid, depending on who loses that upper bracket series.

As for Tundra and Topson in the second game with Zeus, it was terrible. Let me remind that many thought that they would win TI12, but this didn't happen. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are more changes in the team. Although, in principle, this happens after every TI.
Tundra will probably roll back with their original squad since Topson is only filling in for TI and Saksa can still return with the team if he can recover before the next tournament starts.

Surprisingly on later interview to Sneyking about the team tundra, He had mentioned about having on Topson on the team which it is a bit late of making adjustments? No, its not really a valid
reason but i do still respect with those words that with those recent patches and game changes which it did really affect out their performance but in general then its not a solid
reason for you to tell considering that all teams are experiencing  the same.
It's reasonable enough when Topson has a different hero pool than most mid players and maybe Nouns made them adjust too much than they should.

Thanks for the last tag, i've submitted my picks for Pot B and might make some last-minute changes to my score predictions.

Even though I like Pot B much more I'm still in 46th place. I assume that betting all your money on a single match isn't always much of a good strategy. Galatasaray are going to host Bayern Munich tomorrow. It is said that it is difficult for Icardi to play as well. I still want to try my luck in favour of Galatasaray.
I enjoy Pot B as well but i'm finding more success in Pot A since i'm not that good at sniffing underdogs that have potential. I might've opted for the underdogs if there's an alternative option, but i'll keep riding with the favorites and hope I can catch up.
994  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fake casino streamers! Why such streamers are very popular? on: October 24, 2023, 12:44:26 AM
Having little experience playing at online casinos, I can't be sure that everything written in this article is true. What do you think about it?

It's very interesting to hear the opinion of experienced players and people who are versed in this subject.
Unfortunately, most of what they mentioned is accurate once you start watching several gambling streams. The only part i'm not sure about is the fake RTP with the providers because i've seen streamers drain their balance quickly and it's only a matter of time until they hit something big after countless top-ups coming from their sponsors. It's still possible for the RTP to be manipulated because casinos can adjust the payout, but there aren't enough hints to confirm the fake wins when they can also brute force their way to a max win (with an endless casino balance).

I'll try to go light for today's MNF as i'm not too confident with the Niners covering comfortably, and like you've mentioned, they have a few players out. Even though the Vikings always lose by a single possession, they might get exposed if the Niners pull ahead with their defense consistently getting stops or turnovers. I was debating if I should go for the over, but after what happened yesterday i'm starting to imagine it'll go under if both offenses can't get a quick score in the first quarter.



Edit: The Game isn't over, but the spread is dead now that the Vikings are the ones in control of the game and still in the lead by two possessions.  Tongue

The playoffs weekend just finished and i'm surprised VP somehow made it top 8 over Entity. I'm still wondering what happened to Tundra after the groups, from only dropping one map to suddenly getting eliminated after dropping the next two crucial series.

In the upcoming finals weekend, BB might have the best chance to reach the top 4 if there won't be any upset because they could be facing AR, and during the group stage, they already won 2-0 against them.
997  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NFL Sportsbet.io discussion & predications thread rev on: October 23, 2023, 03:29:13 AM
Almost forgot there was this huge matchup between these 5-1 teams happening tonight.
Just began watching the first quarter coming to an end but the score is quite low so far only 10-3 for the Eagles.
Things should get more interesting later in the second half as Philadelphia seem to always take sometime to get going in their games running up to week 7 of the season so far.
Tua seems to be not fairing to well in passing so we will see if he can get going later in 2nd quarter. As Tyreek Hill is his target for most of their offensive yardage and getting them close enough for their sole field goal.

So you betslip isn't dead yet. They usually turn it up in the second half of their games.
Close loss, they suddenly scored a bunch of touchdowns in the second and third, but when it came to the final quarter, the scoring slowed down because of that unfortunate turnover by Tua.

After that, the Dolphins got broken and failed to convert a first down, forcing a turnover to allow the Eagles to milk the last few minutes of the clock. I was praying the Eagles would've scored another TD as they were in the red zone during those final few minutes, but they chose to play it smart.
998  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's your nice hit to leave the casino. on: October 23, 2023, 02:12:42 AM
Doubling my bankroll was my main target back then if I wanted to walk away with my winnings, but that's only on a lucky day. Some of my sessions always end with me barely breaking even and i'll be doing my best for my bankroll to survive for the upcoming sessions.

If we're talking about a single bet in slots or other games that could give me lucky wins, then it's probably around the 50x-100x. It only takes one decent line of the same symbols for me to stop my session, withdraw everything right away, and do something else to fill my free time.

After a stroke of bad luck in the first round with zero points (excluding the free points), maybe my luck will improve heading into this week's second round.

On a positive note, no tennis questions this round, a much easier Dota H2H question, and no need to wait until the last few hours to submit our answers.  Cheesy

The underdogs covered nicely this week, and i'm lucky to avoid most of the matches after having a nice quick sleep.  Grin

With the Eagles losing last week, i'm starting to think they'll lose in this SNF match, but i'm still hesitating on the Dolphins because the teams they've mostly rolled over are on the mid to low side of the standings.

The over quickly caught my attention and I thought it was too low when these two don't have the best defense to hold one another below 20 or fewer points. Also, the Eagles gave up 30 points twice at home so it should hit again if the Dolphins can keep their offense going like in the previous weeks.
