Nice one mate, I did really well today as well. Took your FTM pick and safer Liquid pick as ML and added Winstrike ML + Heretics ML(their first game today, odds 1.45 BO1). All on same ticket for high stake.

I really like that you started posting the picks day before actual games. That way I manage to see them before playing my ticket. I usually play my ticket first thing in the morning while getting fully awake. Gambling adrenaline is my substitute for coffee

You are right sadly I cashed out a few of my bets in self protection mode, when they were flapping about. Still ended 50%  up overall.


Good job

*edit* looks like those cash outs were good cos VP would have sank them*    phew

[rand1919]

Seems like today was a dream day. CS:GO 2/2

✅Heretics - G2: Heretics 1.5
✅Espada - NaVi Junior: NaVi Junior 1.5

Keep up the good picks rand that FlytoMoon pick was so good I thought the series would go to a third after a close first game but they abused their power spikes perfectly on the next and forced HR to call the game very early.

The games today might be a little risky as there's a new charity tournament and the upset potential could be higher after what happened on the last charity tournament hosted by weplay.

I have been meaning to ask something.

What does it mean when they say one player tipped another? are they transferring gold? or are they tipping cash outside the game or what?

They are tipping points, battle pass points to be specific. They need those points for their battle pass to level up.

I should have just copied outright all of your predictions. You've done a perfect job this time! Congrats!

I opted to bet per game, risked for HellRaisers for game 1.

You got any thoughts on FaZe Clan vs Astralis ? I think FaZe are somewhat over valued 2.6+ odds.

I'm looking to put a few bucks on them, what do you think ? Worth it ?

[turkandjaydee]

risked for HellRaisers for game 1.

HellRaisers started this OG tournament very badly, both their draft and gameplay are bad.


By the way, there is surprising not really surprising news from China: Newbee has just been banned in every Chinese Dota 2 Tournament because of Match Fixing.

[rand1919]

Welcome to Chinese Dota 

https://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/gk5ih4/newbee_banned_from_participating_imbatv_events/

"There has been much speculation about various teams the Chinese tournaments fixing matches, and Newbee's success as an organization has dropped significantly since early 2018. Sources have said that the match fixing has been going on since the departure of Sccc, and Fenrir, with the organization losing swiftly in some Tier 3 events in the playoff stages. With everything returning back to the online tournament environment, the spread of match fixing continues to be a rampant issue within the Tier 2/3 Dota 2 scene."

[rand1919]

[CS:GO] My picks and bets for some today's ESL One: Road to Rio matches:

Vitality - G2: Vitality ML, 1.73 @ MY BETSLIP
FaZe - Astralis: FaZe +1.5, 1.57 @ MY BETSLIP

Vitality beat today’s opponent last time but it was over a year ago and these organizations are in a very different place right now. The favorites seem to rely on ZywOo a lot more and mounting a good collective effort has been an issue. However, they did that against NiP, and with the way G2 struggled in their tie against lowly Heretics, I’m inclined to back Vitality to clinch another win. It will be tight, of course, but ZywOo and his guys will be confident they can deliver in the clutch after winning two overtime rounds against the Ninjas.

Astralis has been pretty good! They are on a six-match winning spree, which isn’t half bad either. Truth be told, Astralis played against slightly tougher opponents than Faze Clan, but that’s only my subjective opinion, I guess. The real question is – if Astralis can finally reach another grand final of a notable event. The last time they reached the final stage of an event was back in December 2019 when they won BLAST Pro Series Global Final. Since then, two of their campaigns ended with semifinal elimination. Seeing as this is somewhat of an equivalent of a semifinal match (with an extra chance AKA the LB finals), could Astralis’ curse hit again. For this matchup, betting on both ends seems quite risky. The bookies are aware of that too, but they’re still placing Astralis as the favorite. Well, the value is in my dearest special – total maps over 2.5 or handicap FaZe.

OK guys, I never come in here but there's a new 5 BTC free competition at FortuneJack so I want your opinions. I already put in my predictions, heavily backing the home team (there is a home team right haha).

It's called CS:GO dreamhack. And I guess you can sell the skins if you win them: https://beta.fortunejack.com/promotions/cs-go-dreamhack

Dang, one big news in Chinese doto.

The glory days for Newbee was already done. I don't also understand why they've become a weak despite being one of the best in the world. This will be very hard for them once Valve steps in and gives them another hammer.

What if Sccc and Fenrir have already smelled this before that's why left?

Avengerls have a huge lead but instantly lose the fight to Newbee, how is that possible?

I guess they already knew about it 'cause if they're really pro players, definitely it will hurt their pride since they're always doing their best for the team but realizes that there's a match-fixing happening. After that, newbee was banned but why Avengerls is not banned?

There's a thread about the existence of match-fixing these modern tournaments and this news is the answer to that.

There's no home team or favorites in CSGO since it's played online. I don't know the veto phase in dreamhack but on other tournaments it's usually the team on the right side that bans and picks their first map. Sometimes the first pick and ban priority goes to the team with the lower rank or it could be done with a coinflip depending on the rules.

Anyone know whats going on with liquid? did they win?

I believe in comebacks but when I have watched this match of Newbee and Avengerls, I didn't think of it at first. But after realizing that Avengerls could have ended the game or at least take some racks with their line up, they should've won the game.

Morph + Void could literally have destroyed the tier 3 towers with their supports, enchantress army, and tiny. The plays were obviously staged if you will try to take a look at those chronos and misplays. I haven't read anything about Avengerls but let's wait if there will be a translated version of their statement.

[Globb0]

I cant recognise many games today, they are all spread out in different competitions and leagues (below the ones I can recognise) I remember you said some teams have a first second and even third team, but that is not really clear. Are these all the proper teams?

Cyberbet cup - EU    

Viking.gg vs OG.Seed 15:30 UK Time


Isolation Cup

Nemiga vs Team Unique 16:00 UK Time
