Yes, I won all 3 matches and actually my favorite team is Tundra and also Secret.

I kinda wonder whats ur reasoning on betting like that though espeically on a 3-way parlay. The total odds combined is only 1.87 which is not what would I even considered as decent. A single bust on that would cost you the whole ticket and even if you win, the odds are not good enough from any stake POV imho. If you would have gone for Quest Esports +1.5 or Entity +1.5 then you could have gotten way better odds



It was 1.62 for Quest +1.5 so yeah its better and honestly it seems abit pointless to bet on anything less than 1.4 or 1.35 imho

In fact, you can see for yourself that out of the 3 matches that I chose, the 3 teams that I chose had very low Odds that it was impossible for me to take a single bet and I decided to make a multi bet.
Indeed, with multi bets it can easily fail if one of you loses, but in gambling you have to be willing to take risks and that's why I dared to take it.
Maybe you will have the assumption that this bet is not worth it, but in my opinion, all the opportunities that exist are worth risking.

Any tips for today's matches? 2 remaining exciting matches today. OG needs a win but can they do it against Liquid? There's also Team Secret against Entity. Team Secret has not shown anything so far this season but maybe it's just like last season when they finally get their plays in the final qualifiers and then went great at TI.

I will bet on OG +1.5. They are desperate for a slot in the major so they should be able to take at least 1 map here. I am not really good when it comes to the number of maps so usually I just went the safer route which is the money line.

Seems you lose a match against team Liquid, actually in the game one team liquid manage to win a good draft because of the Magnus pick with the combo of Bloodseek pure damage against ursa and with the ember mobility this game already in favor with their draft reason why they get the game 1 in game 2 team OG really have a good draft and make a winable game for the MK and Lich combo they dominate the lane but not until their ES and MK builds a defensive item reason why they lack of damage, also Zai makes a meta for the WW makes carry and the Void manage to comeback the game. End of the game Team Liquid got 2-0 in this series.

I've seen on the source below that xfl0ud who is a young and really skilled Turkish CS GO player is free agent now. He was benched before this and now he isn't an Eternal Fire player anymore. I'm saying that he is skilled because his aim is really solid and you can see it from his FPL performances as well. But one thing is not solid about him yet as Eternal Fire player MAJ3R also stated it.

xfl0ud is still not completely a team player. He still have weaknesses due to some lack of self-confidence maybe. But he is still very young and he can solve this issue in time. For now I guess there wouldn't be top teams in line for him. But maybe he can find an average team for himself and use the time for improving his contribution to team play to get better.

OG is very inconsistent. They are still struggling since the last major tournament while Team Liquid is the team now on WEU since they 2:0 GG on their previous match. I think you have a better chance to win with those +1.5 on OG with their remaining match since they are always good when they are on the tight spot but not against Team Liquid that consistently destroying them.

Betting +1.5 on OG against GG probably my pick on their upcoming match since GG somehow not in their perfect form for having 1-1 on multiple team. I think OG can score against them.

If you put it that way then betting 10 million usd on 1.05 odds or below that seems like a very good option isnt it. Part of taking the risk is actually the reason why Im stating that because it is not really worth it for a 3-way parlay to be only 1.87 odds. Compared to the risk, its not worth it for sure and Im just saying you could have easily made it over 2.5 or something if you had pick another option

Looks like there's no hope for Team Secret. Even if too many fans are counting on them and thinking that they'll be the best to get onto this upcoming major, they're struggling on qualifying it. They're at the bottom of this tour 3 and might be out after week 3.

I don't think two remaining matches will be enough, these two will be against Quest which is also a good team and as well as Tundra. These aren't going to be easy wins for them.

Too tough for them and they've been always like this. I guess that we'll see another roster shuffle on them unless Puppey really believes on their roster that shall take them to the TI stage. It is what the utmost thing for this year to every team to be considered.

They might be back to division 2 and will have to go through the qualifiers and I think they can make it there but it's gonna be tough, really tough.

My take on OG is, they're strong sometimes but not at most times. Inconsistency is applicable to most teams, look at Secret. And with their next match with GG, it's better to take on who's going to win and that's probably GG. A match-winner type of bet is the typical where people are betting. But I think if you go for some first 10-15 kills and I think that OG can get on that. What do you think about that? Because if you're for the gamble then you should take those type of bets.

Odds of 1.05 is a very low Odds so if you only bet this one does not give a return that is worth the risk.
But with a multi bet, say there are 3 teams and the two teams, the odds are higher, but the chance to win is higher, so it's not a problem if you want to take risks to bet on it.
Indeed, there are other options that are better, but if in these other options you don't understand what is at stake, will you still choose these other options?

I am glad Vitality managed to win the Paris Major and remains the top CSGO team in the world. It's such a pleasure to watch them play and with a very one sided final it was also a nice way to make some profit. The next big CSGO tournament coming up is the IEM Dallas 2023 with the grand final next weekend. On Monday the group stage starts with a lot of good games coming up. For the first round I will stick to matches with a clear favourite to keep building up my bankroll again. Heroic vs 9z is one of the these matches, where I don't see any chance for Heroic to lose the game. The same goes for G2 vs Nouns, where G2 is going to win easily. FaZe vs Evil Geniuses is also very one sided and should be no issue to win for Faze. In my opinion it's always better to find a couple of these low risk / low payout matches to bet on instead of putting all the money just on one match. There is always the tiny chance that the clear favourite is going to underperform and lose the match with the best of 1 games. The closest match of the day is going to be Team Liquid vs Astralis, two very similar skilled teams. In March the two teams played each other and Team Liquid won 2-0, that is why I am going with a small bet on them for higher payouts.

[execijutiere]

IEM Dallas tournament started as of today.The first 2 matches were played.G2 started the tournament well with a nice win against nouns.They were good as a team and they will want to win this tournament.There was a transfer rumor of siuhy, who was very popular in the GL team instead of HooXi, I don't know if it will happen, but I think it could be good.The fact that there is always a young and talented igl means that the team has not risen in the name of fire power.
In the other match, OG defeated Furia 16-14.OG was the team that played better as a team and when we look at the fragments, we can say that they deserved it.I always say that Furia needs to change players.Saffee and drop are not the players of this team and I think they are inadequate.

The Dota 2 DPC SA Tour 1 match still has 3 matches and for Bleed vs Boom it has started but for the first round it has not been resolved but it looks like later Bleed will win this match.
The other two matches are still underway in a few hours and I'm trying to bet wins on Bleed, Tundra as well as Gaimin Gladiators.
It's been a long time since I not to bet on Dota tournaments and now I'm trying again, who knows luck might be on my side.

Congrats, speaking of Tundra. 33 has got a sentiment that if they qualify for the Bali major, he may not be able to participate as he'll get some visa issues. Why? Because he's an Israeli and Indonesian government doesn't recognize Israel as a state and that means he may get his visa application rejected if they'll qualify which is very likely. And if that happens, they will get a stand-in and whoever that could be will change the gameplay of Tundra. It's so hard to win these games and yet they've been battling against these visa applications and issues. That's the main antagonist for every major that's happening for most of the teams.

Yes, thanks buddy.
But if Tundra can ask for consideration and is willing to make several requests, maybe there will be a solution regarding visas to be able to come to Indonesia because this is a game competition so it doesn't trigger many people to arrive there.
After all, there will surely be the best way or solution to solve problems regarding visas.

They can't just ask consideration for it. They'll be asking the Indonesian government to do such with 33's visa but with their history together with Israel, all I can say is that they're not in good terms and that's why there's nothing 33 and Tundra can do to this.
Let's just hope for the best for 33 and his team if ever they're qualified to go to Bali but that's much likely that they'll qualify. And if application of visa for 33 don't work, they'll have to look for another stand-in and I think that might be resolution as the stand-in of all time. LOL.

True. If the Indonesian government makes an exception with 33, a lot of questions will arise and issues will certainly prevail. The Indonesian government is known to not change their stance on things that easily, and it will take a lot more than a Dota major for them to budge even a little. Hopefully they get a stand-in that can match 33's tempo and creativity in the game. That guy is a great offlaner and there's not a lot of players out there that can come to his level at this current meta.

[execijutiere]

I wanted to say that I haven't seen any surprise results so far in the IEM dallas tournament. We watched matches where the favorite teams usually won. Fnatic felt the lack of krimz in a very big way and unfortunately became one of the first teams to be eliminated from the tournament. Forest was far from his old performance, maybe he had a hard time adapting to the team in a short time, I don't know. It's hard to say anything about this since he hasn't played in the professional arena for a long time.

While Tundra is now sure that they'll be going to Indonesia which is the Bali major, this is the tougher battle for 33. That's true that just because there's a big event that will happen to them, they'll pass and cut 33 some slack, I don't think so. 33 is aware of that and that's why I am sure that they're trying to figure out not about the visa but for who's going to be replacing him as a stand-in. But who knows, if the Indonesian government will be too kind for him but I don't think so. I'd like to watch some 33's offlane on that major because it's really on a different level if it's a major or TI unlike these online tourneys that they play.

I don't know what will happen but I'm sure there will be the best solution for the problem.
Moreover, for now Esports is in a very superior phase in various countries including Indonesia and with the arrival of a big team like Tundra in Bali, Indonesia will be eagerly waiting and supported by most Indonesians who are Esports lovers.

Anyways today Tundra will be playing against Gaimin Gladiators.
The odds are bigger on Tundra and even though the two teams are equally strong, my belief is always on Tundra's side.
Hopefully they can give satisfactory results.

In the first match of the day, faze managed to beat liquid. I can say that broky and twistzz had a tremendous match in faze. On the other hand, nitro is far from his old performance and he will most likely be benched from the team. I can easily say that Liquid plays with one less player every match. They have a roster with better potential but they can't show it. They urgently need to make a substitution.

[arallmuus]

Now you are betting on much better odds and I totally love this. Tundra ended up winning though, I guess this pretty much tell us that GG domination on the 3rd Major might not be as huge as the previous two Major


Took this live bet because Im quite confident that Quest wont really make it to win against Liquid. Although Liquid technically has qualified for TI, pretty sure they still want to play on the 3rd Major

[passwordnow]

And there it goes, the first team in the SEA region to qualify and secure a slot for the Bali major is none other than Bleed Esports. After defeating Army Geniuses on a 2-0 sweep, they can now go easy with their remaining games but I don't think that they'll do that. They still have a match against Xerxia and that's the final match they have for this week. If ever AG has beaten Bleed, I think that there will be a lot of teams that will have the same score and we'll go into long tie breakers but let's see what's waiting at the end of this week.

IEM Dallas tournament is going on excitingly and we are watching the upper and lower finals in both groups from now on.

Heroic just destroyed G2 today by 2-0 (16-9, 16-4). G2 picked Inferno due to its being their most successful map. Because they won this map 9 times in a row lately. However Heroic still found a way to beat them in their home. Ancient was a fiasco for G2 already and we have seen it once again. But there is still a 2nd chance for G2 by quarter finals of course.

In the lower finals, MOUZ and OG are playing against each other right now. MOUZ are in the lead by 1-0 after winning on Mirage 16-10. Inferno is the 2nd map and MOUZ are better there on paper. The winner of this series is likely to be MOUZ.
