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

Well that's a hard one you managed to win. EG have been running pretty hot for a while. Here is some fact from hltv twitter: EG were running on 14 match win streak until now and their winning streak also started with them defeating Furia at Blast Premier Spring 2020.

Well we can say that Furia took a sweet revenge. 

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

Maybe they didn't had much confidence in him. Faze have been changing their squads a lot. And with the performance they are giving, I am smelling a change again soon.

Some good wins yesterday, especially Gen.G, today I'm going for:

Spirit vs mouse - MY BET
FaZe vs NiP - MY BET
Liquid vs Cloud9 - MY BET

Apart from mouse bet which is even match my two other picks are clearly underdogs respectivelly at 2.92 and 3.40 odds. Seems kinda crazy but recently that strategy gave me some profits so for now I will stick to it  especially considering the fact that FaZe is in even worse form than NiP and Liquid is far from their greatness. Hope to hit at least another 2/3

FaZe vs NiP - MY BET

especially considering the fact that FaZe is in even worse form than NiP.

I also don't understand why the books still favoring Faze instead of NIP. Faze have zero win currently but NIP won against mousesports and atleast won 1 map in the other 2 series.

I think 2 unit on +1.5 handicap and 1 unit on NIP ML look good for me.

Probably because NiP is playing without nawwk who is on medical leave. Their coach will play instead of him. I wrote a post about it yesterday so check that one.

Yesterday I managed to get all my bets correct but I don't like the offer today. So I am skipping eSports and betting on tennis.

Here's an Esport event you guys could like:  https://liquipedia.net/starcraft/2020_AfreecaTV_Starleague_Season_10

Matches are aired live here:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCK5eBtuoj_HkdXKHNmBLAXg

I've been doing 2 leg parlays at plus money on the favorites.  Been doing good so far.    And the games are fun to watch.  It averages around 15 mins long, unlike Dota.  I don't think I have the attention span for it.  Lol.

Another winner yesterday.

And today I put on a CS Acca

Reminder that event though there are 12 esl pro matches today, only a couple actually matter: Vitality - Mouse and OG - Heroic. These are the only teams in EU that still have a chance to qualify to playoffs, loser is KO'd form the tourney. NA teams still have a few matches left so a lot can happen

i'll be following Heroic - OG (O2.5 maps), i'm expecting a close match, if both teams go with the expected bans&picks, then we'll see Inferno-Nuke (Heroic could prolly Mirage? but they've been shit in this map lately)-Overpass.  OG only lost once on Inferno in the league, same as Heroic on Nuke, so it could be worth it to throw some money (low stake, ofc) on each team to win their mappicks (IF we see those picks)
EDIT* OGarbage, ffs! go back to Nine to Five and Eden Arena

Same pick as you, and a third straight losing ticket this week for me (1-4 overall), previous two lost thanks to the unpredictable mousesports (who by the way beat Vitality today and qualified for the playoffs)...strange times! ESL Pro (EU) playoff phase will resume on 29th, so i think i will take that week off to clear my head. hehe

Been quite a while I made a bet on Esports with usual sports back to it's fullest, I however got an impressive 7 mBTC freebet from FortuneJack to gamble on esports (you all might wanna check, should in case you got it too)

Here is my small odd 3-game parlay

[docdiss]

Couple of bets for today:

EG vs Liquid - MY BET
Furia vs Chaos - MY BET
Gen.G vs Cloud9 - MY BET

Considering recent form of both teams Liquid at odds 2.22 is imo a bargain, Furia are clear favorites there is no doubt and Gen.G vs C9 will be an even matchup although personally I have placed bet on Gen.G.

Day 6 of the ASL Season 10 live in about 45 mins or so...  Parlayed Sharp and Action at 2.03ish.  Let's win some monies!

Edit:  Ugh...  What bad timing lifting his barracks.

I've updated the Calendar in the OP...only 3 more days for LoL Worlds 2020 play-in! also, OGA Dota Pit returns tomorrow

DreamHack qualifiers starts today, so here goes an acca, been a while since i placed one of those https://i.ibb.co/wLgCrKF/ezpz.png

@toke  do you know a bookie that's offering lines for the ASL Season10? the books that i use don't offer brood war events

Following you with very similar multi for low stake. I just took Sprout to win 2:0 and added one more game x6tence over 2.5 for boost. That way your ticket will be a wining one and that one game will screw me over 
Why did you take Sprout map 2. Do you know that map will be Sprout pick? If affirmative how do you know that? Usually underdogs picks first but that is not always the case. Is there some kind of rule? I usually wait for map picks and then place those kinds of bet live.

Try FortuneJack, I know he bets there often

to anwser the first question: I thought they were the higher ranked team and would pick 2nd map 😂😭

as for the rules: in some tourneys, as you know, the lower ranked team picks first, like in the ESL pro league. Same thing happens in DreamHack where they take into account the Regional Major Rankings. But, i forgot about RMR and i assumed that Sprout were the higher ranked because of the HLTV ranking, but, to my surprise, FATE are oficially the higher ranked team,, See here: https://liquipedia.net/counterstrike/DreamHack/2020/Fall/Europe/Qualifier (meh, low stake acca =P my main ticket will be on EG - Team Liquid later today)

but there are some tournaments where there's no ranking system and teams will knife before the match and the winner will choose which team ban/picks first

I'm very much disappointed with the run and performance of Fnatic Dota 2 on the BTS Pro series SEA. Execration has already been eliminated and Fnatic is endangered to be the next team. It's either Team 032 or Fnatic that will be out of the tournament. If Fnatic wins against Neon with 2-0, they are still in and 032 is out. But if not, 032 is in and Fnatic out.

DOTA pit returns today and I have already placed my bets on team Nigma against NaVi, I have them as basic ML @1.55 on my multi and I have a single that Nigma wins 2:0 @2.7 (SB boost). Should come easily according to the stats (latest form, recent H2H) and eye test. I am not touching the rest of eSports for now. Maybe I'll add another ticket later.

Heretic - c0ntact over 2.5 looks good for me and will be part of that other ticket for sure if I decide to play it.

[docdiss]

Today betting only on Dreamhack Open:

Heretics vs C0ntact - MY BET
x6tence vs mousesports - MY BET
North vs Endpoint - MY BET

Heretics vs C0ntact should be an even match although I'm going for Heretics here, x6tence bet is completely unlogical but at 6.28 odds I will give them a chance will small 5€ bet and North should be clear favorites and odds ain't that bad for such team (1.40) so at least that most likely will be a guarantee win even if other two bets will fail

Here is my small odd 3-game parlay 
https://i.imgur.com/st9VtWe.png

Betting on just one of the underdogs would have been at least 4x profitable than the odds of the favorites combined,

That's the point of betting indusrty =) Betting on underdogs with smaller amount several times gives same or even bigger results than wagering on favorites.

DOTA pit returns today and I have already placed my bets on team Nigma against NaVi, I have them as basic ML @1.55 on my multi and I have a single that Nigma wins 2:0 @2.7 (SB boost). Should come easily according to the stats (latest form, recent H2H) and eye test. I am not touching the rest of eSports for now. Maybe I'll add another ticket later.

I also have Team Nigma to win the series but I parlayed them with Secret (-1.5) for a combined odds of 2.1. Team Nigma faces the new roster of NaVi which is basically the FlyToMoon guys. In the previous Dotapit tournament they also faced each other right away and it ended 2-0 for Team Nigma.
