[BLOG] [FAQ]1) Who am i ?I am the ex-starcraft2/dota2 player who played both games at a decent semi-competetive level (Starcraft 2 Master League, ~5500 MMR in dota 2). But this, however, is not important and does not guarantee that one would be good or not @handicapping e-sports. Anyone who claims that their gaming expirience gives them edge in betting is full of crap.
2) How long i've been doing it ?This, however, is important.
I've been betting on e-sports for a little over 3 years now. I've placed over 5000 dota bets and over 1000 starcraft bets during this period. With solid earnings in both areas over the long run.
3) What makes my picks +EV ?Without giving away too much from my system (you should understand why), i can say that i've been following and researching the competetive e-sport scene for a very, very long time.
10+ years of following the Starcraft (starting with the SC:Broodwar, starcraft2's predecessor).
4+ years of following Dota 2 (starting with the earliest beta tournaments).
To get the decent edge, you need the knowledge. And in addition to that, you need to find that balance between going for the favorite and value-betting against the masses in the right spots. This takes a lot of expirience. Also, understanding of the fundamental gambling concepts (EV, variance, tilt control, bankroll management, etc) is crucial to secure the longterm winnings.
Overall, the combination of all the above allowed me to avoid tons of mistakes and mass a healthy amount of winnings, beating the field over the years.
I have full confidence in my picks, they've proven to net a positive return over thousands of games. From past 5 months i am up 111.6 units after 1139 placed bets.
4) Why only Starcraft&Dota? What about other games? CounterStrike, League of legends, Hearthstone?I will be offering the Dota&Starcraft picks only. There are 2 reasons for that :
First, i have a very little to none personal interest in other games. I simply do not enjoy them. And its not easy to dedicate a decent amount of time to something that you dont enjoy watching or playing at all.
And second, the more important - i am the dota/starcraft specialist, and focusing on these 2 games is already a big commitment.
This is nearly a full time job, the amount of matches and information you need to follow and analyze is substantial.
5) Where to bet?with

----------------------------------------------------------
Some things you need to know:1) I dont use any martingale type of betsizing to chase losses. The size of my bets is in range of
0.2-1.2 units.
2) I recommend using a bankroll of at least
50-60 units.
3) I dont take parlays seriosly. I can place a parlay now and then when i think its a good spot, but i never allow parlays to affect the longterm profits.
(and i also dont include parlays in the stats, all the results are 100% straight bets)
