How terrible do you feel you added a relatively small-odd bet to your single bet to boost the total Odds a bit and then bang! You lost the bet because of that ? It stings right ? I still haven't come to terms with myself, I took Mbir ML live during the 2nd Map they were around 2-6 up (not sure) @2.44 and I really don't know what I was thinking, I looked for another live game to increase the Odds to at least 3x, the rest they say is history  

Ouch!!, That's hard. Happens with me as well. I also know the feeling of getting tempted with low odds in order to push the bet a little further and boost the odds. Sometimes it hits and sometimes it doesn't. Hope you didn't had quite some money on that one... otherwise gonna sting more.  

Haven't tried betting Costa Rican football but corners are really risky especially outside the major leagues. Also wasn't there any other major league going on like bundesliga at that time? (game wasn't that good but still you would have found some good markets to bet on to boost the odds on the betslip).


Now Thorin vs device @tomahawk9: https://www.essentiallysports.com/csgo-thorin-lashes-out-at-astralis-members-on-twitter-coldzera-dev1ce-mibr-twitter-esports-news-2020/

What are your betting selections for today?

My high stake ticket has:
PSG.LGD -1.5  @1.45  -this one already started, first map was a bit of the scare but PSG managed to take it
Aliance-Secret - over 3.5 @1,45 - hopefully this one should go over easy, Aliance now knows that they can take Secret, and Secret will be gunning for some revenge.

My low stake ticket has the two above plus some football and following CS:
Mad Lions ML @1.8
Vitality ML @ 1.5

Don't trust the CS selections much today but it would be bloody nice if it all goes according to the plan

@Avirunes  Damn! Thorin with the disrespect lol BUT he's been attacking Astralis for a few days now: https://twitter.com/Thorin/status/1268265683147788288

dev1ce should've just ignored him tho, I mean, Thoring called him a loser in what way is God Dev1ce a loser? Thorin wanted attention, he threw the bait and Astralis took it...smh.

What are your betting selections for today?

Dota
Alliance +1.5 @2.32 ✖
CSGO

I don't know why Thorin is so mad or started beef with dev1ce though. Is there a history between them? I do agree that he should just ignore this guy, it is true that he is a good analyst but that doesn't mean that he should call dev1ce a loser. They won multiple majors, consecutive wins even. If dev1ce is a loser, what am I?

He doesn't have any previous beef with device and we all feel like it was a publicity stunt from Thorin. As analyst I think you should note all the things. Astralis is going through tough time and its gotta take time to build on. Seriously wasn't expected from such senior analyst and commentator to lash out on twitter, seems kinda immature.

Aliance-Secret - over 3.5 @1,45

Man, Alliance did not show up today at all :/  they had a couple of good team fights in game 3 but that's it...

Well, that's enough Dota for me, gonna go ahead and take a long break just chill and wait for the BLAST Bounty Hunt...which starts next Tuesday  

No picks for tomorrow, CSGO matches on DreamHack are meh (Complexity vs Fnatic, Mad Lions vs Spirit, Heroic vs Vitality)

Alliance didn't show up ? I think it was more like Team Secret being "Team Secret" freaking terrific! I also had the Over 3.5.

Elsewhere I've got Vitality ML looks like they'll complete their come back after the sloppy 1st Map.

I wasn't able to watch first 2 maps but this 3rd one was all the time in Secret favor. As you said Aliance had a few nice team fights and nikobaby did good job on that PL but that was nowhere near enough to turn the tables on Secret. Really thought that Aliance will manage to take at least one map but in the end it was another bad day for my bank

I checked the drafts a bit and it seems to me that Aliance lost all the maps in the drafting stage. To win against team Secret you need both perfect draw and perfect execution and they weren't even close on either point.

ENCE and Vitality are the two teams to qualify for BLAST Premier EU Finals. I was rooting for MAD Lions to advance, but they lost in a very competitive/close game vs ENCE in two maps. They still have a chance though, play-in match vs NiP next week. To be seen...

What do you guys think about complexity +1.5 and vitality ml totals at about 1.99....or simply go with complexity ml?

[STT]

Its his job to critique so he'll pick a fight with everyone but its not especially valid to evaluate performance right now as online is alot different to LAN for most teams.    I've heard him come out with far worse, its true enough teamwork is key to csgo consistent wins but we already know they dont have their full team.   Turns out they need the full team, he is not getting a cigar for this one.  Thorin has had a go at just about everyone in the game, he puts alot of bias to IGL players who typically under-perform while doing that job.

[tomahawk9]

Hmm, i wanted to skip today's csgo matches but now i feel like trying some live bets...

What did you choose?

And they lost Xyp and gla1ve for the time being, and they've been playing with the new guys for like two weeks. Thorin was just being an oportunist jerk.

I was late to the Complexity Gaming vs Fnatic party, I just joined in, It's currently 4 apiece.

I took Fnatic to win the 2nd Map @ 1.99, elsewhere I'm with you on Vitality and as for Mad Lions I went overboard with -1.5 @ 2.9 odds.

[Avirunes]

Complexity just won their first map (Nuke) as they picked. Fnatic are good today , have to say. Kinda had my good amount of balance on Complexity +1.5 . Glad they were able to win on Nuke in OT. Next map is Mirage, I am kinda want to bet on Complexity but Fnatic are playing quite well today. Fnatic might not have good records in Mirage but I've gotta feeling that its gonna change here maybe/

Anyway will pass.

[morvillz7z]

Complexity just won their first map (Nuke) as they picked. Fnatic are good today , have to say.

Fnatic indeed played very well, i thought they would push it to double OT (Nuke) and end the game in two maps. Glad i stayed away from the moneyline.

Waiting on Vitality later today as almost everyone has them win, hopefully we are not all wrong about it.  

[tomahawk9]

I took Fnatic to win the 2nd Map @ 1.99

we are such losers lol great way to start off my some live betting adventures =)

gonna back Spirit now, let's see if i can get some nice winnings..

EDIT* let's stick to pre-live bets, shall we?

[Avirunes]

[...]Mad Lions I went overboard with -1.5 @ 2.9 odds.

Joined a bit late but got in time (picked when Mad lions were 1 round in Map 1) and picked Mad Lions -1.5 @2.8x odds  . Lovely win and acoR and Bubzkji really played well, others also.

Yeah that was really sick on Nuke. Fnatic did a good job pushing it to first OT but Complexity got a two round early lead on OT. Still it was very close.

Waiting on Vitality later today as almost everyone has them win, hopefully we are not all wrong about it. 

Vitality are again back on track. Zywoo is doing perfect, rpk and shox are also playing very well and picking up some amazing shots. Also Heroic is not much of a threat here so I think it should be an easy for Vitality. Will go Vitality ML on this one...

[Harkorede]

GG Ez money!

That makes up and more for my loss at fnatic, but it's all expectations on the Vitality, I just hope we bettors don't put to much pressure on 'em

To be honest, I'd rather have this BO3 than the one map bull crap we had during last week.

[tomahawk9]

[...]Mad Lions I went overboard with -1.5 @ 2.9 odds.

and picked Mad Lions -1.5 @2.8x odds   .

Nice job!

my picks for tomorrow:
Dota
Nigma ML @1.58 ✔
CSGO
Na'Vi ML @1.72 ✖
BIG - FaZe O2.5 maps @2.04 ✖

Alliance -1.5 @2.63 vs. NiP is hella tempting.
And I still won't include Astralis in my picks, but i'm hoping that they win tomorrow, they really need a win asap...anyways, i'm off to watch Vitality wipe the floor with Heroic =P

Hopefully, no floor wipe. I have heroic +1.5 and it started really well with 11-4 for heroic on T side of Mirage but I am still a little worried how it will end. That CT side economy can be a real bitch sometimes.

I like your Nigma and Alliance picks for tomorrow. Will probably play them.

Edit: Heroic managed to take first map after giving me a little scare and losing first 4-5 rounds in the second half.

[ralle14]

I missed some slightly better odds on NiP yesterday they're 1.7 but i'm still taking them later today at 1.55. As much as I like Astralis' I think their losing streak won't stop here.

I also like Navi against G2 for the next series, G2 have a better win rate on other maps but in terms of the recent form Navi have the slight advantage.

Alliance -1.5 @2.63 vs. NiP is hella tempting.

That's a trap.
