My bets for today:

FaZe vs Spirit - MY BET

Vitality vs fnatic - MY BET

Astralis vs NiP - MY BET

Vitality and Astralis are clear favorites. Recent form od FaZe is terrible but it's still a team with skilled individualities and imho it's worth a try especially at 2.38 odds

[turkandjaydee]

Seems like they're adjusting the odds now that I can't find any markets on that series. I'll still take them as long as the odds stay within even. Fnatic's roster won't go that far without iceiceice.

Come on Gambit Youngsters! going well

FaZe going to the decider vs. Spirit rn, impressive...but Mirage is one of FaZe's weakest maps :/

i'm waiting for VIT-FNT, i have O2.5 maps on this one https://i.ibb.co/ynYPQ6X/ayaya.png
Both teams have been kinda meh lately, winning comfortably here and there but also losing to lower ranked teams, have a feeling this is gonna be a hard-fought battle

My bets for today:
<...>

nice rank & username/avatar in Thunderpick lol   good luck

[morvillz7z]

FaZe going to the decider vs. Spirit rn, impressive...

 

Tough stretch for FaZe (#punchingbag), 5th straight loss for them in ESL Pro League and no chance to make the playoffs now.
At least they got one map this time, 1st and only one in the tournament  Lol, i really needed it for my main bet today though, FaZe O2.5 + Vitality ML (i hope the french don't stink up the joint against fnatic)

What are your thoughts on the Astralis vs. NiP match later today?
Over or Astralis in two? Last three meeting between the two, NiP have three wins (5-1 maps), i'm leaning towards the O2.5

Vitality took Fnatic map pick and I am thinking they are finishing the job here on Dust2. Fnatic has really poor record on that map. One just 1 from last 4.

I had a bet against FaZe from couple a days ago and I was afraid for a moment when they looked good in the first map but that was all they showed today. After that it was Spirit all the way.

Im running good again. EG is just to finish my last parlay I think.

Got this on for today, just a fun one.

Thanks for sharing the screenshot, when I was checking the odds on loot bet yesterday it's bugging out for me if I scroll down to the bottom of the page the same matches appear over and over.

I also have a similar parlay with only the three heavy favorites.

[docdiss]

My bets for today:

COL vs mouse - MY BET
OG vs ENCE - MY BET
FURIA vs EG - MY BET

2/3 yesterday, today I'm going mostly for underdogs, mouse at 2.68 and furia at 2.60 are imho definitely worth a try, og vs ence should be an even matchup although I think that ence is slightly better team and considering 50/50 odds it should be an easy win

Dota 2 fans here? We have some surprising roster shuffle from Chinese doto with the teams of Vici Gaming, PSG.LGD and EHOME.
For PSG.LGD, Xiao8 returns to PSG.LGD and brings with him the majority of EHOME roster
I'm surprised that xiao8 is back as a coach.  

For EHOME, Sccc returns as EHOME announce a new roster

While for VG, Vici Gaming recruits 23savage, old eLeVeN to new Dota 2 roster

This is like there's a swap of players for these teams.

New roster: Vici Gaming
1. 23savage
1. Erica(sub)
2. Ori
3. old eLeVeN   
4. Pyw
5. Dy

that's what i get for expecting something from swedish bots    at least Vitality looked good yesterday, i think they'll put up a good fight against Complexity tomorrow

mouse at 2.68 and furia at 2.60 are imho definitely worth a try

? ? ?  Mouse are FaZe tier of bad and Furia have a mental block whenever they face EG, i don't see any value there but, good luck,, i might throw some mBtc on Furia +1.5 at 1.56 edit* fair play, bruv

that's a lot of changes ahead of the Pro Cup Season 1...might be a good idea to skip these three teams in the bet slips while they get used to the new changes

The new roster of PSG.LGD will have their debut match with Team Aster which is also a good team. I guess it's good to test some bets for Team Aster than the new roster, just saying.
If 23savage isn't playing for BTS pro SEA, we've get to see his debut match with his new team too.

[ralle14]

Good thing I didn't place my bets too early on Fnatic now that they have a decent offlaner. They just announced that Forev will be their stand in offlaner with iceiceice and eyyou officially out of the roster. Now that the support is the only difference in their lineup they'll probably end up drawing against BOOM.

My bets for today:

COL vs mouse - MY BET
OG vs ENCE - MY BET
FURIA vs EG - MY BET

Good job on taking those underdog picks. That 2-0 from mousesports was unexpected.

Thanks pal, kinda surprising that furia and mouse have won while ence which was my most sure bet lost but that's okay since I have my winnings

[Globb0]

Aha I cashed out my stake yesterday, so Im playing only with gains for a while.

Here is my Dota for a change ticket

[docdiss]

Good day yesterday, 2/3 including two wins of underdogs at odds over 2.5 (mouse and furia), only ence kinda disappointed. Bets for today:

NaVi vs Heroic - MY BET

Gen.G vs 100 Thieves - MY BET

Vitality vs COL - MY BET

Continuing my strategy of betting on underdogs in decent form (at least in comparision to their opponents) by placing a bet on Gen.G (2.60 odds). NaVi and Vitality should play even matches although I think they are slight favorites in their matchups

[Trofo]

Following the news that NiP has put nawwk on medical leave and that their coach will take the position is it maybe time for FaZe to finally get their first win in the competition? I think so and will place a bet on them for the match tomorrow. I hoped for better odds but @1.6 is not that bad.

I will play several singles today as way to test new way of betting on the matches I am not comfortable enough to put high stakes on. I will put 1mBTC on first match and if it wins I will continue down the list and see what I will end up with in the end. Second match will have a stake in a way that I return that one mBTC to the bank and if they both pass all other matches will higher stakes (50% of winnings to the bank, 50% added to base stake of 1mBTC). If first bet looses I will get 2 free bets on Sportsbet (their new promo) anyway so I see it as win-win

For first match I have chosen Gambit - Godsent over 2.5 @2.0

Some of the other games I have been looking at are:
Viking.gg ML @2.2
Heroic over  2.5

BYMAS GODLIKE 1V3 CLUTCH FOR MATCHPOINT https://clips.twitch.tv/AffluentTenaciousPigSmoocherZ

Wow that's good. Bymas didn't had any professional level experience before Faze and to clutch 1v3 so quick shows how quickly he is making progress. Good for him and mousesports.

That's indeed. Complexity are a very good team and beating them 2-0 sounds like a very good sign from mousesports.

Yeah saw the news of nawwk being out on medical leave. Quite a bad news for the team and is good opportunity for Faze to capitalize on. Faze is also going through bad form recently. So I am still not sure about winner tho, could go anyway. I usually go with over 2.5 maps in such matches tho.

[tomahawk9]

yesterday was a good day, Furia finally won vs. EG and i got my biggest win in the last couple of weeks in a single bet



Vita-COL is the highlight today...i got O2.5 maps in this one. The french boys haven't looked too convincing in the tourney but seems like they found their groove in the last couple of matches, i can see them winning their pick. COL have been looking a little shaky lately but they need to bounce back from tha loss yesterday, no? they have to ban D2 today and pick Nuke/Mirage, VIT have been poor in those maps

odds went down to 1.5 in some books, suspiciously low for a team with a 0/5 record, but then again, NiP are the 2nd worst team in Group B, and nawwk has been instrumental in the maps NiP has won so far, i smell a win for faze too...Best of luck in that single bet strategy

in the meantime, FaZe Clan are wondering who was the smartass who let Bymas go 😭🤣

Bad luck  The odds is already decresed by half now. I was looking for Among Us vs Fnatic too but its not there yet.

However, Forev becomes a standin again, so Fnatic has a better roster now. But still I hope Boom will 2-0 them

Vitality was so bad  . They lost on the map they picked.

Anyway, where do you guys see live score and team status such as map win percentage? I see HLTV still has a delay.
