For now i'm sticking with this dota multi Gambit and Yellow Submarine to win.

Spider Pigzs with the upset  (not gonna lie, that's a cool name lol)
i'm sticking with CSGO while i wait for the EPIC league to return. I have MIBR to win at 2.60 odds vs. OG today.

That third map was just pure outdraft from Spider Pigz props to them for stopping YeS' streak.

Congrats on the MIBR pick, OG choking once again.  

Trying out this small multi (mousesports to win, Liquid+1.5, G2 to win). Mousesports slowly gaining some form, Astralis consistently dropping a map then a toss up between G2 and Furia.

[docdiss]

Won 5/5 yesterday, feels good. Bets for today:

Liquid vs Astralis, mousesports vs GODSENT - MY COMBO BET

Furia vs G2 - MY BET

Doing combo on favorites to multiply the odds, don't really see Astralis nor mouse losing it. When it comes to Furia vs G2, it should be rather even matchup although I think Furia has tendency to choke so I'm going for G2 here, GL!

i figured this current OG would not stand a chance against MIBR who have been playing really good CS since the roster change

I also have the same matches (minus Mousesports) in a multi but i went with O2.5 maps in Furia - G2 (could be a close match) and Astralis ML at 1.38, although, this line moved to almost 1.50 in some bookies right now, i would've gone with this one in a boosted single ticket at those odds, but i pulled the trigger a little too fast today :/

Now live furia eSports vs G2 Esports and they give even nothing Second round now first round win Furia eSports.
BAM i have bet that G2 wins, butt im must say furia play realy good 
Later in the German ESL play Cowana vs Kolossus here im realy dont now who will win the teams are new.

Another winner you're on fire I should follow you on your next picks.  

My multi failed as expected but manage to hedge in the first leg after Liquid dropped their map pick I immediately slammed the map 2 live odds on Astralis.

Going back to Dota now that epic league is back Na'Vi to win vs Mudgolems the odds are only this close for Navi because they've lost three in a row I still think they're good enough to take down Mudgolems. The over might be a good alternative pick since 5/6 Navi's matches went to all three maps.

[docdiss]

Bets for today:

Cloud9 vs Spirit, FaZe vs Complexity and Astralis vs G2 - MY COMBO BET

North vs GODSENT - MY BET

Doing combo on favorites to multiply the odds, it seems to be rather low risk and at over 3.00 odds it's imo definitely worth a try. When it comes to North vs GODSENT I consider it to be rather even matchup so I'm going for much better odds by betting on North, GL!

[tomahawk9]

I've updated the Calendar in the OP! I finally added Overwatch and Valorant!

yeah, i got pretty lucky tho, Furia were fantastic in Map 2 and were close to the 2-0, but NiKo was in the form of his life near the end of that map, absolutely destroyed Furia all by himself with some otherworldly plays

Anyways, I also have Navi - mudgolems but in a O2.5 maps single, i find it really hard to go for moneyline in these matches lol and same as @docdiss, i have Astralis to win, should be a good match vs. G2.

Good luck everyone

[hanspeter77]

come on Faze you can win  .
later Astralis vs G2 Esports that would be an great match have bet on Astralis

Secret -VP
Just took juicy odds for this Secret game (to win), hope they win that 2 maps 2-1 )

[ralle14]

Going against mudgolems once again as they face Team Liquid a win here secures them to the play ins and a chance to take one of the last two spot for the play offs. Skipping the other series since VP and Vikin.gg already qualified. Combined it with mousesports for a total of 2.2 since they've beaten C9 recently (blast qualifiers).

Secret -VP
Just took juicy odds for this Secret game (to win), hope they win that 2 maps 2-1 )

I got baited by Secret as well I had them pre game with terrible odds at 1.4, VP is just too good.

[docdiss]

Bets for today:

Heroic vs GODSENT - MY BET

mousesports vs Cloud9 - MY BET

FURIA vs Complexity - MY BET

Gambit vs Astralis - MY BET

One rather safe bet on Heroic but wanna risk with the rest. Cloud9 is starting to play really good on Dreamhack and odds are great. Furia vs CoL - imho even matchup, going for Complexity here at 2.20. Also gonna give Gambit a chance, kinda crazy but they are playing incredibly well recently and have't lost a match since October, imo worth a try at those odds even against Astralis, GL!

I just saw there is a new operation available for CSGO. This will likely draw new attention to the old game again and we might see some teams coming out. I didn't read anything yet about a new tournament yet, but it might just be around the corner. What is your take on new competitve maps? Will we see some new teams dominating the old teams on these maps? It would be nice to bet on an underdog team who is very specialised in these maps.

[DOTA 2] Only 2 more days until the end of the EPIC League Division 1 group stage. The situation is getting pretty hot. Bottom 4 teams are fighting for survival, while on the top there is a fierce battle for the 1st seed. Here are my picks and predictions for Friday matches.

Liquid vs Mudgolems: Liquid ML

Team Liquid are straight favourites here with a nice odds on their win. Mudgolems are the last ranked team in the division. With 2 wins out of 8 matches, they are not looking good currently. They are fighting for their survival and this is their deciding match. If they lose this, they will hardly end on that 8th or higher spot that leads to the playoffs. In the last 1 month, those two teams played 3 times. Liquid have 2 wins, while Mudgolems one. But their matches were always back and forth. Liquid entered this tournament with 4 straight losses, but they’ve managed to pull it back and with 3 straight wins they are not in the play for the playoffs. They need this win too. And in this moment they are a better squad.

Natus Vincere vs Vikin.gg: Natus Vincere ML

I’m going with an underdog here. It’s the logical choice here for me, as I see a big potential for a surprise here. Vikin.gg lost to Nigma in their last series, and NaVi showed some amazing series wins against Alliance and Nigma. I do believe they have everything to beat Vikin.gg which are currently holding 1st place in the division. One month ago, NaVi did beat Vikin.gg 2-0 in the playoffs of the ESL One Germany. Even though I do believe this match will be much closer and favouring Vikin.gg slightly because of their recent performance, NaVi will surely have their chance. Vikin.gg has only 2 losses in this competition, one vs Alliance and another one vs Nigma. Overall, their performance was impressive last week. However, I’m picking NaVi here or over 2.5 maps, which can potentially be a good bet too.

Virtus.Pro vs Alliance: Virtus Pro ML

VirtusPro is on fire. With knocking Team Secret down in their match yesterday, they are surely looking to be one of the biggest contenders here for now. 6 wins, 2 losses, and they are sharing 1st place with Vikin.gg. This young squad has pretty impressive results lately, and their performance is speaking for itself. 2-0 vs Secret, 2-0 vs Nigma, 2-0 vs OG are surely the results that show how strong they are right now. On the other side, Alliance is fighting for survival. With 2 wins and 6 losses, they are struggling not to drop out of the tournament before the playoffs. They are one of the worse performing teams currently in Division 1. I don’t think that they can win against such a strong VirtusPro squad right now. VirtusPro are clear favourites in this series.

[tomahawk9]

moneyline picks everywhere,, guess i'm the only one going with Over 2.5 maps on Furia - COL and NAVI - Vikingg

I just saw there is a new operation available for CSGO. <...>

yeah, quite the catchy name for this update: CS:GO: Operation Broken Fang, i dig it. Love how they brought Aztec back from cs 1.6 but with modern graphics LOL

i might actually install this game again because of this update, haven't touched it in a few months but i'm interested in trying out the new ping system

Liquid vs Mudgolems: Liquid ML

What happened with this match? I see that Navi - Viking is starting at the moment and that one should have been later.

I have a lot of money riding on Liquid, trying to exploit Mudgolems bad form. I just settled in front of PC to watch it and then  Where can I find news for stuff like this.

[hanspeter77]

in 15 min Start an great match BIG vs OG 
that gone be very hard to say who will win, im realy dont now.

and now live Astralis vs Gambit Esports firs tmap win Astralis now second map 3:0 for Gambit

I haven't watched this match but you can follow the game schedules on liquipedia. It seems that this game has been commenced and ended. The match winner is Team Liquid.

Congrats.

Feels great to hit a multi after trying for a few days. Going back to a single bet and picking OG to win vs Just Error with their 4-4 record they're in a good position to tie with the other teams for the upper bracket spot if they win which they should. The only way they lose here is if they become too confident and start picking some unusual heroes. For the other series I like the over on Nigma vs Liquid and the +1.5 handicap on Navi but i'll probably do some live betting since you can sometimes tell which team will win based off the draft.

Dota 2
Okay, today i expect from Navi the same game they showed yesterday with viking and fast gg from secret. I bet on navi to win today.

What a come back in second map for Virtus.Pro vs. Fnatic. I had over 2.5 maps in this one and already thought my ticket is a bust. Fnatic took opponents map pick and then had something like 13:7 on their own pick. That is the time when I turned it off and went to take the dog for a walk. I came back and it is 13:13 and immediately Fnatic makes a good clutch and has 14:13 with bad economy for Virtus.Pro. Now I know what I have to do, I turn it off the stream and come back now to see they are playing third map
