I still think FaZe would win the 3rd map, so I took them live -2.5 for the 3rd

EZ money 


Where you fellas at ? Post some predictions. I'm locked on FaZe vs Team Spirit, the odds had jumped from the initial 1.4 isssh to above 1.60 Trap or Bluff ?

FaZe weren't performed as expected yestetday if not more as per the squad rotation, but will they be able to see out Team Spirt who played brilliantly against fnatic ? I need some insights @Tomahawk

I went with Spirit +1,5. I watched whole FaZe match yesterday and I wasn't impressed with their T side at all. They are just running as fast as possible and relaying on individual quality to come on top in the duels. It looks very good when it works but as soon as it stops working they continue on the same path without plan B. I am thinking Spirit will be able to capitalize on that with few free rounds which should be enough to at least win their own map pick.

I have Spirit handicap as well they look more reliable recently after the impressive form they had on road to rio while Faze's new roster could take time to mesh with their new player. Honestly they might even take this series 2-1 if they continue to perform well.

1.60 for the handicap is not bad, if you want higher odds betting on each map would be better since lower ranked teams get the first map pick afaik.

I think i will completely shift my bets towards +1.5 backing dogs to win, because O 2.5 and -1.5 has been very inconsistent for me thus far.

That's why i went with Trofo on Spirit +1.5 and GODSENT +1.5. I don't trust fnatic after what happened yesterday.



Did someone from Spirit's team crash (mir), the game is stuck at 15-14? (edit; they are back and playing)

[tomahawk9]

@rand1919  Good luck, man!

FaZe weren't performed as expected yestetday if not more as per the squad rotation, but will they be able to see out Team Spirt who played brilliantly against fnatic ? I need some insights @Tomahawk

Just got back =) but i have Faze vs Spirit over 2.5 @1.90 they're in OT in map 2 right now but looks like there's some technical issues...FaZe with the hacks lol   And it also looks like "mir" is fulll on carry mode :/  Clown Spirit, ffs!!!

EDIT* phew! FaZe won map 2..thought mir was gonna mop the floor with faze again (:

My other pick is: Godsent +1,5 @1.65  
no Dota as i'm waiting for some Bundesliga action today (:

I think i will completely shift my bets towards +1.5 backing dogs to win, because O 2.5 and -1.5 has been very inconsistent for me thus far.

Like i said yesterday, online matches are a different challenge to a lot of teams, bottom tier teams have been stealing maps from the top tier teams, and it's mainly because of online.

Wow!  I'm pissed man, I saw these all too little too late with everyone backing Team Secret 1.5

It could have been a really easy ride for me, I already lost one decent parlay to FaZe to win the first map, and now the 2nd with just FaZe to go is in jeopardy too  

EDIT:

That was intense, but in the FaZe delivered for me  I'd rather be more cautious with them next time :|

I have Spirit handicap as well <...>

since lower ranked teams get the first map pick afaik.

Good to know if thats the case, I had not noticed.     I think the Dreamhack maps are alot more exotic then I remember being regularly the case years previous.

shift my bets towards +1.5 backing dogs to win

I said similar, betting on 3 maps seems to be happening paying off more commonly.   The back and forth between teams right down to near tie or overtime seems to be higher, perhaps its due to online games not sure.    Both Faze and Spirit today had last minute stand-in players, the ongoing theme continues to be chaos.
   Another option, betting 2-1 scoreline and getting the winner correct can have much higher payoff and I think I did that after game start.  Always preferred the live type bet rather then being cut off prior to start.

[Harkorede]

Tomorrow is the Veteran's Day, I'm so confused about which team to go with between fnatic and FaZe, both team are far from their usual/expected best, struggling a lot versus the underdogs.

The odds are almost even on ML and Over/Under, so going for anything other these options is a no brainer for me, In the other fixture I've got Team Spirit on ML.

[morvillz7z]

^ Do you remember what happened a couple of days ago in Group A? Astralis (FaZe) started with two wins, whereas G2 (Fnatic) lost their opener and nearly lost game two. The decisive match between the two, Astralis surprisingly fell short and lost. FaZe are the favorites according to the bookies, but i won't be surprised if they lose. Deja vu anyone? Though i'd probably bet again on GODSENT +1.5 (edit; GODSENT v Spirit 30th May, but why? huh)

Who's taking part in FJ Dreamhack promo, how many correct picks do you have? I'm currently trailing the leaders by two games, 93rd place.

Not bad rand, you're always more in winning. How much you made for all of these games in total?
Matches for this date, I'll wait what you will be picking. I guess it's easier to bet for today's matches base on the line up of teams. What do you think rand and everyone?

[tomahawk9]

pff, just wth are those odds?    I can't pick a winner so i'll just with the following:

CSGO
fnatic vs FaZe O2.5 @1,90 ✘ i'm expecting the 1 map winner to choke in map 2...that's my big brain analysis  
Gen.G ML @2.05 ✓
Dota
Vp.Prodigy ML @1.75 ✓
Natus Vincere vs Vikin Over 2.5 @1.90  ✘

Though i'd probably bet again on GODSENT +1.5 (edit; GODSENT v Spirit 30th May, but why? huh)

Mir was having problems with a power outage in his city yesterday so they probably rescheduled the match hoping that nothing happens on the weekend.

[Trofo]

Gen G. ML is my pick of the day. I found odds @2.20 at my local fiat bookie which sounds like a good value to me and that goes on high stake ticket with some German football.

From the rest of esports today I picked following but all those are for small stake
OG ML - had this one as VPP before but Rand analyses turned me around, should have skipped it now that I think about it
Viking ML - they started this tournament really impressive and I expect them to continue until they meet Secret
FaZe ML - fnatic just looked flat to me and Niko and Coldzera are having a good time and are able to take down anybody

I never listen, and always ending regretting, sometimes. I had FaZe ML on one parlay and over 25.5 rounds in the 1st Map

I am, I'm currently at 7 correct picks, I haven't edited any of my picks since day 1, though.

Gen G. ML is my pick of the day. I found odds @2.20 at my local fiat bookie which sounds like a good value to me and that goes on high stake ticket with some German football.

I'm going to tail Gen G ML with you and tomahawk...

[tomahawk9]

1W 2L so far, not looking good, need me another win plz Gen.G  

CSGO news: Xyp9x (Astralis) takes leave - Source

i'm gonna drop my picks early today:

LoL
T1 to WIN vs Funplus @1.60 ✓
Dota
Nigma -1.5 @1.65 ✓
VP.Prodigy -1.5 @1.85 ✘
CSGO
Vitality ML @1.80 ✓

[Harkorede]

need me another win plz Gen.G  

It's an intense game, it's 12 -13 in the 3rd map for Gen.G, fingers crossed on this  

Dota
Nigma -1.5 @1.65

I'm probably going to stay clear of taking these heavy favorites on -1.5 Handicap especially in Dota, they always get too comfortable! Nigma cost me both my sweet picks on fnatic vs FaZe  



EDIT:

Gen.G did it 

That was a nice 2x ride

[batang_bitcoin]

I haven't seen someone covering the matches on the China region, NA/SA and Sea. Last 1 match for this day, IG vs. Ehome and as I type this, it's the first game. Playoffs on this region will be resumed after 5 days whilst for the other regions, there's no much attention that's being applied.
I guess I understand now why most of us are getting into EU/CIS region, there's ton of actions there rather than the other regions that I have said and they're boring. 

Dota
Nigma -1.5 @1.65
VP.Prodigy -1.5 @1.85

Congrats! nice streak.

[tomahawk9]

3/4 wins today. VP.ProdiClowns with the choke  

Man, T1 got KO'd from the Mid Season Cup. They won my bet but still feel kinda sad that Lord "Faker" won't even make it to the knockout stages :/  now who do i root for?

I kinda get it, especially with the huge upset yesterday with Team Secret losing versus a bunch of who?, anything could happen...but i still went with Nigma because Unique's win yesterday was 100% a fluke...


gotta love it =)

Congrats! nice streak.

Thanks (:

I was kinda busy the last two days, didn't have time to look up the games hence couldn't place any bets. No bets, no losses they say.  

So i heard NiP have a new player and that didn't go particularly well against Vitality (7-16; 4-16).

Na'Vi ml parlayed with Vitality +1.5 gives a decent 1.90 odds, my go-to bet for today i guess. Slightly tempted to try Na'Vi -1.5 and ViT O 2.5 that gives around 4.75...what do you guys think?
