Also Sportsbet have added betsy as their seperate esports provider, now they're offering cashouts and alternative handicaps, totals, props etc.

That is quite big news at least for me, can't believe I did not read something about it in the main thread. Can we use these markets inside our regular multi bets?

I guess now we know why Sportsbet page had some problems yesterday and this morning.

That's a good development in E-sports area. Glad that they worked it out eventually regarding eSports cashouts and more betting markets. Just tried out placing bets and seems to be working quite well so far. Would have been better if SB gives some idea about out balance in crypto equivalent in Euro's to help us out with staking on Betsy.

Just picked up TL Dota2 against Team Secret on Betsy. Don't know if it's good or bad since I don't know much about Dota but it was live and TL were 1-0 up by the time I put the bet on.

I haven't tried making multis with other sports but I think it's not possible since they're using a seperate UI, still a big improvement though.

This is my issue as well, good thing they have a convenient btc to euro converter at the bottom.

And Fnatic are trash, but I need to check it 1 more time whether they're still trash or not  

they're still trash   They need to take a break, it's just sad to watch them play now, they're probably tier 3 or tier 4 right now, should be playing in Spring Sweet Spring or one of those crappy cs tournaments no one watches lol

Well that's a nice surprise. Bookmarked!

Right off the bat i can see a shit ton of markets/lines in Dota and CSGO (LoL not so much, at least for now), way more than SB's classic sportbook. Margins also look way more competitive, they seem to be 2% lower than the usual book, this makes betsy the better choice by far, even with the Price Boost the classic one offers lower value

UI is also miles better, as expected from a platform that targets esports punters. You can easily sort by tournaments, inplay or prematch, very intuitive, good stuff.
Huh, i wonder what made them add this, do they want to compete with the esports books? if so this is a step in the right direction

next go tomorrow in flashpoint
Ninjas in Pyjamas vs Anonymo Esports that should be very easy for Ninjas tow in.
FunPlus Pheonix vs ex-North FunPlus should win this match

Did not go your way in the end but it was great match. I watched most of it and there was some amazing plays and lots of turnarounds from both sides.

What works best for me in DOTA betting is playing that outsider takes one map before the match and taking live bets against the run of play. For instance after favourite looses first map you take them to win the match. Those odds usually have lots of value in it.

Too bad I just watched Secret yesterday, both my favourite selections would end up winning if I played them.

We got an interesting game on the CIS upper division between VP and Team Spirit both teams tied for 1st place only dropping one map.

Last season Team Spirit is the only team to get a map on VP and with both sides taking down every single team they've faced it's likely we'll have another close series.

With that i'm taking the o2.5 maps @2.25, some nice value compared to the +1.5 Team Spirit handicap that's currently sitting @1.7. I could also see it going under but it highly depends on the draft.

I am on Team Spirit +1.5 but I only got odds about 1.65, still good value for me. I hate playing over maps since then I can't cheer on the first map. This way I can cheer for Spirit form the beginning

If Spirit gets first map I'll probably take VP to win, those odds get nice and juicy.

Understandable, I also went small on the handicap incase my over backfires and what a comeback from VP on the third map nearly thought they'll lose the series since Team Spirit manage to snowball a good lead during the early game. Another sweet profit day. 

Looking forward to MSI tomorrow and maybe go for some DWG vs RNG action since that's the first game of the Rumble stage.

i've got DWG to win. I was thinking of going for 'Total inhibitors detroyed over1.5' but i'm not sure if this is gonna be a slow-paced match or an over 30min kind of match. Also, you don't see DWG with such odds very often so why not?

i also booked MAD Lions to win vs. Cloud9. Couldn't find any value in the alternative markets, so i'll back the lec team

Rest of the matches look like they're gonna very one-sided so perhaps there's value in 'total kills handicap' for the main fav, no chance for pentanetgg and psg.talon

I'm on the opposite side unfortunately, not feeling too high on Damwon after their performance during the group stage but I doubt it means too much since RNG faced the weaker teams on their group. I also placed a side bet, RNG first blood @1.9 since they always like to make the first move early game.

I like this pick as well, might include the over since they always have a high kill count.

[tomahawk9]

⌃ you were right on the money. DWG got outclassed in spectacular fashion. Baryl, Cayon, Ghost, they were just so bad, painful to watch honestly. Now it's up to MAD lions to see if i can recover from this loss or kick off the Rumble with a 0-2 record

NIP vs Anonymo is ongoing right now in Flashpoint 3 and this is the debut match for device with NIP after the transfer from Astralis. So excited to see how well he will do today and adjustment with his teammates. Anonymo shouldn't be a tough opponent today and in the next they will face FPX/Hyenas (FPX likely) so yeah the real test of team will pick up slowly and slowly so good way and tournament to test their new team.

[hanspeter77]

next matches:
Sproud vs FaZe clan that gone be a hard match for Sproud im wish they win butt dont think.
Ninjay in pyjamas vs HYENAS  very easy for ninjas they should win this match.

[Jackl87]

Some good games are happening today in the Dota 2 dream league. First of is Chicken Fighters vs. Level UP. Chicken fighters are the slight favorites here according to the odds but the game should be pretty open. Then in the evening there are 2 games that have 3 of the best dota teams involved with Alliances vs. Hellbear Smashers. Here Alliance is the clear favorite and should be a safe bet. The other game is OG vs. Nigma, here OG is the slight favorite, but i think everything can happen in this match also. It all depends on OG if they are doing crazy things in the draft and during the game or if they play serious and more conventional.

Didn't thought NIP would lose against Anonymo and drop to lower brackets in Flashpoint. Plus I slept after watching 16-3 on overpass and thought that NIP would be easily winning the second one as well but couldn't believe the result that they lost 2 maps straight after that. Anyway they've spoilt device's debut but NIP would be going away with lot of lessons and fixes and adjustment they need to make inside the team.

Cloud 9 outplayed DWG in the early game but almost 30min and DWG are slowly recovering, could easily snowball into a win    regardless, i'm feeling pretty confident about my Cloud 9 moneyline @1.66 against PSG.Talon https://i.ibb.co/M20mwxV/ticket.png placed two units on that one edit* me watching Cloud 9 in late game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TWVGHtRWAY

Alliances vs. Hellbear Smashers. Here Alliance is the clear favorite and should be a safe bet.

i think Alliance will take this one very easily, -1.5 handicap at 1.6 seems good. But i'm going with OG - Nigma over maps at 1.9. Gonna be a close game, imo

Wow, that's great news because I stopped betting on e-sports at sportsbet.io since a while for the same reason that cashouts were not there and we all know the nature of esports is such that it can change within moments and as a frustrated gambler you have nothing but watch the game and your fate.

As far as markets go, I think they always had a lot of markets so more markets must be crazy! I am going to visit and play some bets tonight for sure, thanks for the great update. I haven't played for a while so can someone tell me whether that amazing 1-leg parlay promo still exist? Where we get a free bet in case our multi-bet fail because of a single leg.

You mean the multi insurance ? It's still up and running since they have it on their promo page but i'm not sure if you can apply it on the other UI.

I'm backing OG later, I think whoever wins this one have a good chance at taking the major group stage spot and OG is probably more desperate to get every win possible since they failed to qualify last season and need to get every points they can get if they want to secure a spot to TI.

The game is about to happen within less than an hour, I'll be with OG too. They've only lost two series on this DPC season since the start of the tournament and since week 1. Although Nigma is also a strong team and one of the former TI champs, their roster has also became stronger with ILTW and good thing that they've removed their weakest link which is w33ha. He's not that effective anymore and that made them tie with OG in terms of the rankings in this tournament but whoever wins this series gets a better ranking.
