Hi, I'm just some guy on a bitcoin forum that likes watching cs:go and makes a hobby out of betting on professional matches. If you've already seen magicmexican's dota2 and SC2 picks, this will be something similar, although nowhere as serious in terms of research, analysis, and profit. Again, I just do this as a small hobby with skins and small sums of bitcoin. Currently: +0.07817 BTC unit size = 0.004 BTC, started at bankroll of 0.2 BTCNOTE: CS:GO only, no other e-sports will be posted here. As of now, betting on nitrogensports will become a larger part of my picks. Betting weapon skins on lounge won't stop however. I plan to post picks from both sites as the skin betting scene has contributed largely to the popularity of CS:GO and many people that follow this thread more than likely bet skins over btc. Free picks are posted on here daily, but only constitute a small portion of all the bets I make. If you wish to see all the bets I make, it only costs 0.01 BTC/day. However, it should be noted that not everyday will be +EV, and there may be losing days, as this is gambling after all. If you wish to purchase these "premium" picks, shoot me a pm and I will give you an address. Where to bet: BTC betting: NitrogenSports | Ref link (Nitrogensports) Fairlay (Better Odds) | Reflink (pls)Fiat (USD): Egaming Bets | Pinnacle Sports (USA bets not accepted)Skins (in-game items): CSGOLoungeSome afterwords: 1) Never all-in 2) BTC betting will be done in 'units' and for anyone that chooses to follow these bets a bankroll of 50+ units is recommended, as well as following my unit sizing. 3) If you are going to bet skins on lounge, do not start with one big ticket item, get several smaller items so you can place more than 1 bet at a time. About 5 items of similar value should be good. 4) Don't follow my bets blindly, CSGO is a variance heavy esport to bet on and all advice here should be taken with a grain of salt. 5) Any questions can be directed to me by PM through this website. Skype will not ever be given out, no exceptions. 6) For anyone that wishes to see the bets that I do not post on this thread, shoot me a PM and we can talk about either a pay-per-view or subscription via steam or other mediums of communication. Did i get you some ez skins ez life? Trade Link (Not necessary but appreciated)Any trade offers are welcome as well. BTC: 14EhjKwcwfuSujGPVUr4SVjqw8CvHBqCHG NitrogenSports ID: 269891 Or, give my signature a click! Note: If I don't post pictures with my bets its because I'm at work or school, use your judgement to figure out an amount to bet. ============================================================================================================================== MIDDLEMAN/ESCROW SERVICESAs a lot of the CS:GO scene revolves around skins and trading, I will be offering middleman services at a 0.5% fee for anyone interested. Just shoot me a PM with the steam profiles of you and the person you are trading with as well as a few details of the trade and we can get everything set up.

Looking forward to this thread! Its really hard not to notice how abysmal their odds are, just look at this one match and compare pinnacle odds (~4.8% vig) to Egaming bets odds (11% vig - what the fuck..) It will absolutely murder your ROI in the long run if you will bet there.

NiP: -Delpan + allu nV seem to be in a slight slump, and odds are good on fnatic because of the mouz upset LGB has a decent chance here vs nV, and I think NiP will be strong with the addition of allu to the roster.

denial are destroying mythic on nuke right now, so thats probably lost :/ anything goes in csgo contemplating switching to denial for c9 v denial, especially with the potential of DDOS affecting C9 Ascendancy look to be in a good position to take their match v CLG to map 3 at the moment.

mythic are looking rather weak right now vs C9, never all in. with A51's new roster (- summit, +juv3nile) mythic might be caught off guard, but summit was probably their strongest individual player, icb / real low bet on A51 might pay off. Edit: looks like mythic are warming up

Tomorrow's EU bets: First game: xgame is check6 from earlier today, you may want to bet high on them but I have no information other than the roster for Divine. for all I know, they could all be wallhackers. No idea about exploders either. TSM v Wrecking is a bo1, same argument. I will be skipping every EU game tomorrow. If you like, you may want to bet high on TSM, but too much risk for me with an unknown team and not enough return with 90-10 odds. Will probably bet on the NA games that come up tomorrow. However, for anyone that likes to do a bit of their own analysis, don't think too much on ESEA matches if they conflict with other CEVO / FACEIT matches, ESEA cancels matches if a team is late and does not allow them to reschedule.

No games for 2 days (GamePlan Pro League), managed to sell enough returns to buy a nice skin to bet with when the 7 day trade restriction is lifted, and an inventory update after selling some things

Picks for the new games: Bet on the overdogs for CLG v Affnity and Liquid v ASC, odds too low for me to bet. Also, there is speculation of GGWP v Exploders being a throw.. NOTE: Luminosity (LG) are former Mythic

Neat plugin that shows rosters and map for matches on lounge, as well as the ESEA picks: I don't think SKDC can take a bo1 nuke off C9, and odds arent good enough for me to bet on C9. All three of the ESEA matches are bo1 nuke.

Well, I've bet on a few games myself, but it's been something along the lines of +0.9 value, assuming that you're using CSGOLounge.
ESports is just too risky, since there are fewer regulations in place for activities such as throwing, and players can easily have off days with no warning what-so-ever.
For those of you who HAVE made a profit, however, I congratulate you, since a majority of people I see are losing their bets as opposed to winning. Keep it up!

its about making a substantial long term profit, not +value over a few games. ive garnered enough to buy a bs asiimov from just selling small returns. I take just about every factor from off days to ddos when making a decision for these games.

I think I've only ever pulled some stickers and a MW P250 wont disclose my decision process for free, and some of the information i take into consideration is gathered from from hltv (match history / rosters). the bulk of the information comes from the information i gather from watching countless games. seeing as how several people have pmed me asking for in-depth analysis or to disclose my decision making process i might set up some premium thing if enough people ask. note: denial just took the game against liquid.

Theyre listed for a few hours before the matches actually start; I think CEVO and FACEIT matches are listed there, don't remember about ESEA matches. I would post bets from there on here too but lounge just lists a lot more games in comparison.

Bored so I threw a few bucks on this VP/Titan match. Never watched a CSGO match before. It looks like two guys are sitting in their bedrooms talking on webcams. Seems interesting.
I'm curious, do you just bet chalk or is there a modicum of handicapping going on?

i bet an amount I feel is optimal for my total bankroll compared to the risk and reward of the odds on the match Right, that's BRM though. I'm asking about handicapping. For example, I tailed your VP bet @ -253. Now even though VP seems like the better team, and will win >50% of the time, it's only a +ev bet if they win >71.6% of the time. I'm wondering if it's a situation where you feel they win the match >75% of the time, or do you just think they are the better team and that's the extent of it?

There isnt a surefire method to calculate that VP would win 75% of the time, as the map pick does play a significant role in these games, and those picks arent announced until 2-3 minutes before the match actually starts. However, given the map pool provided by the ESEA league, I felt that VP had enough of an edge over Titan to make a bet on them.

Those calculations are needed to make profit long-term, because of the fact that on a lot of these heavy favorites you are laying big odds.

I wouldnt be surprised if Titan manage a small comeback, but I expect VP to take the match.

GPlay upsets Dignitas, unfortunate. Was a close game and they played very well, shouldn't underestimate them again.
NOTE: FenixFire v BackFire is acutally a bo1 on D2, as opposed to a bo3 listed on both hltv AND lounge. this could turn out bad because of misinformation.

Would the change help backfire more? Is there much of a difference in betting the first map or the series overall? Sorry for the amateurish questions, but it was a pretty fun sweat this afternoon and I'm looking to put another bet down for this evening and am just trying to get as much information as I can on a subject I am very ignorant on.

Well we all start from somewhere ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ First map bets are listed on nitrogensports, but not on lounge; all the games on lounge are for match victor. However, in this case, there was some misinformation stating that this FF v BF match was a best of 3 (bo3), when in reality the match is a bo1, where only 1 map is played out. Dust 2 is the most iconic map in counter strike; it has been played to no end and most strats and tactics have been played out numerous times, and there are really no surprises that come to a seasoned player, causing this map to be more based on raw skill and aim over strategy and executions. This makes it easier for underdog teams, especially on a best of 1, to upset the favorite. However, I have placed a fairly large bet on this match assuming a bo3, putting me in a precarious situation. If BackFire are on point im basically fucked. Luckily I'll have a few hours to put some more thought into the matchup now. Doesn't help that I have litle info on both BackFire and Fenix Also, Orbit look poised to take the match vs x6tence with a 9-6 lead on T side Inferno.

I'd advise a small bet on BackFire, I believe the odds are a tad skewed from the misinformation and being a bo1 on d2, I'd put the match at a more 40-60 or 45-55 favoring Fenix. also contemplating making a steam group so people may discuss this stuff and what not as this thread is picking up a bit. feedback appreciated.

I only bet on Nitro, so I assume it wouldn't be smart to bet on the match line since if there is only one game in the match it'll prob get scratched. Looks like BF is still listed as almost a 2:1 underdog, if you think that the map change evens up the match a little bit, I guess it would make sense to bet on them and take the odds. I also see there is a 3.5 line, so if you think the map switch means that it's very likely to be a very close match (from watching the last match I'm guessing all of them are first-to-16?), that bet might have some value.

And i agree on the underdog bet here, it also seems that one of the members for FF did not play with the team the last 2 matches, which could mean communication is potentially a bit off, in addition to dust 2 historically not being a strong map for Fenix.

small bet on (F.Sid3) vs NiP, consolidation match for lower bracket, neither teams will probably care about the outcome.
Yeah I think it wont be a interesting game to bet on. Not a lot of people care about the outcome of the game. NiP also had lost to the other teams in the lower league last month and aren't upto much good these past few weeks.

mouz just lost a player and piter has talented players, and with the number of bets that came up I dont want to put the rest of my bankroll on bets in the case that everything goes wrong with all of these factors, its a skip for me. however, id put it at 65-35 60-40 in favor of mouz depending on map picks. note: volgare v myxmg was cancelled, so I put a small bet on mouz.

These skins that you are betting, do people get them (originally) through game play or do they buy them on steam? How would you cash them out?

Too much to explain about weapon drops and cases, but I started out beting again a week before this thread was made with an ak red laminate (~5 usd) and worked it up to whatever you see me update with. I believe I bought that item around a year ago from the steam market.

also, there is speculation of Ignite cheating, I just remembered this and realized that I shouldve skipped. also, the prize pool for RGN is small, and with the odds as they are, a throw may be possible (if they really cheat they wont give 2 shits about throwing). If you havent bet yet, skip.

Watching these games over the past couple days made me interested in buying the game and playing a bit and I'm curious how to best spend my money. That's also why I was asking about how to cash out...let's say you had $500 in skins and wanted to convert that to actual money. Are there people who buy at those prices?

There is a decent methrod of "cashing out" that you can do if you have some $ of btc on the side.
Basically you bet on team A(fav) to win with $/btc, and 'hedge' your bet with betting items on team B(underdog)

That makes sense, gotta pay a decent amount of vig but theres no real risk there. Basically what I'm asking is, if a gun is "worth" $100, are there people who are actually paying $100 for it, or is it just kind of an arbitrary pricing system to facilitate betting?

A "vig" that you will pay trying to cashout by selling items to someone directly for paypal or w/e will be larger. I'm not super in touch with steam trading right now, but i think that by cashing out people usually lose about 20-30% of item's value. So in your example, a 100$ gun would be like 70-80$ on paypal.

Basically what I'm asking is, if a gun is "worth" $100, are there people who are actually paying $100 for it, or is it just kind of an arbitrary pricing system to facilitate betting? Prices for skins under 400$ are based off the steam market; and for RMT, skins are usually sold at 60 ~ 80% of the market's price. High tier knives, however, are a goddamn hassle to deal with (omg rare pattern worth 50% more). Some of these knives can be in the thousands of dollars. However, there are markets for trading, such as the /r/GlobalOffensiveTrade subreddit. Just make sure you find a trusted middleman from Steamrep and be wary of scams. Example case you just won 300$ of asiimovs from a huge bet (5 asiimovs at 60 each). Lets say We selling for bitcoin here, 45- 50 usd each. You would set up a trade with a person who will agree with the price, find a middleman from steamrep, and you would receive the money in exchange for the skins you won. edit: magic beat me to it

Ignite (suspected cheaters) have 1 bo3 advantage of 3 bo3's, gonna be a long ass match not watching that shit) SKDC in a huge slump recently and summit is a great individual player, he can go nuts and carry A51. CLG CLG CLG CLG CLG are playing well, top NA or second next to C9. Liquid has been slumping as well.

RGN, winner gets 500$ total, loser 300 regardless. I feel a throw, especally with how fishy sick was, constantly changing his name (sick -> sick-); I read somewhere at some point tha I do not remember that the anti-cheat is a joke and can be avoided by just changing one's name. With how often he changes his name and the sick headshots sick was making I wouldnt put it past them to throw. I may be wrong but its just a gut feeling, I advise everyone to skip the match if they can, and for those who have just flip a coin rip skinz Also, odds have shifted from ~15 -> 23% on lounge in a few hours, just seems way too fishy. paul_newman's profile is also private, possible stormberg added to his friendlist. Let me fetch my tinfoil hat for this game and confirm illuminati, of course I could be wrong and end up losing 12$ of skins in 2 aimbot heavy matches. Shouldnt have bet :/

It is funny how I stopped playing CS just because I thought it was plagues bye cheaters. And now I read that even on the professional scene in pro games they are cheating? This is ridiculous. Anyway my question: in case of proven that team was cheating my bet is returned or not?

Lounge's policy is that in the case that the tourney organizers, in this case RNG / CEVO announces / bans a cheater during the match, the bets will be cancelled and returned. If the announcement is made after the game, well shit However, if we see ragehacks 180 no scopes triggerbot faze clan level shit I'd trust lounge to make the right call 3 skinz bet twenty three% odds best of three matches illuminati confirm this match EDIT: odds keep shifting, maybe Stormberg betting from his 100+ alt accounts?

Valve - the biggest gaming company in the world can't do s**t about them even on competitive level? Is is so frustrating that weird shots and badass luck is so visible during the match. I am no longer sure if that is skill or cheat.That is why I am considering sticking to some games without cheats - like DOTA2 and stop betting on CS games.

If i recall correctly there was a well known cheater, Mekelek, who coded his own cheats and ragehacked to boost players. However, he had some weird overwatch evasion and cheats that utilized the kernel. As VAC reads system memory to see if an external program is reading memory from CS:GO, VAC did not touch the kernel. Recently pro players (KQLY) was banned only because ESEA worked with Valve to detect the cheat he used (ESEA anti cheat >> VAC). As for Dota 2, I know that LoL has scripts that basically allows a player to perform inhuman actions, I wouldnt put it past coders to have made scripts for Dota 2 yet, especially with how lacking VAC can be. Will Ignite Throw? (Strawpoll)

Will Ignite Throw? (Strawpoll)There is a difference. In dota - scripts are not gonna do anything really important to you, they are really insignificant addition. But aimbot or wallhack in CS is a core element and a key to victory. There were a problem with cheats in Dota2 couple years back when maphack was available. But with Dota2 and different client-server structure is not the case anymore. PS. I Voted for Aimbots in the poll.

Betting more =/= safer. The less risky bets will often be when a pro league team plays a challenger team, but always do your research. It's normally fairly easy to determine which games will be less risky, however you have to be careful. Sometimes the best of the best lose to a challenger team. If there's a 90-10 betting ratio, check the teams. Check all the stats and recent match histories. Check EVERYTHING. Then, bet wherever you see fit. (And if you bet on a team that has 90%+, don't expect many returns. That means a lot of people are betting for that team, and not a lot against, meaning there will be fewer items to go around.)

draft going to take ages, some picks for tomorrow: Looks like I was a little late on most of these (nitro closes the betting lines way early on esports matches). I can get in on the CW/Navi match but I'd only be getting +170 on CW. Looks like the only other games open for this afternoon are flipsid/Envy (+300/-435), penta/fnatic (+419/-676), and mous/flipsid (+120/-155) so they all seem like pretty long odds except for the last one...any thoughts? Thanks.

CW look pretty set to upset Na'Vi, losing map on on mirage, but was a close game, and just won map 2 on Inferno. Considering mirage is dubbed "de_navi" for a reason, I expect CW to take this 2-1 nvm, navi probably going to take the match 2:1 on overpass

Just saw that Property has an unknown standin for this game, even if LGB are saving strats for katowice, they should take this. also, I will be offering middleman services for CSGO trades starting now. just shoot me a PM and we can get set up for anyone interested. 2% fee. NOTE: for the second property game (vs g2 i think it was) Fnatic JW will be standing in for pauf. ez.

UPDATE post: Withdrew a lot of stuff that I either wanted to use or sell off, new returns inventory to give you all idea of what im working with this coming week. Also, LoungeStats shows im up about ~45$ now, if youve been following my bets you should be up a fair amount as well. Also, when Katowice starts I will be bringing in some stuff I bought earlier with previous returns, hopefully will make insane profits. (+1 bs awp asiimov, +2 ak redline FT -> 55$) Goal is to be able to max bet after Katowice ends, but that might be too ambitious.

Going to start betting on katowice games now a few notes:
a lot of these teams have been saving strats and have been "underperforming" for a while, but I expect all of them to give it everything they have to win any and every match they can. In addition, the NA scene is a lot better than it used to be compared to last year. As many of these NA vs EU teams may be going head to head for the first time, all of these games will be hard to predict. In addition, the group stage games are all best of 1.
Being a LAN, we don't have to worry about network-related issued such as ping or DDOS, and there will be technicians on-site to fix any technical problems that may arise. This will make bets a little easier, BUT, for some of these teams, being on the big stage in front of thousands of people will be a first for some of these teams, and this may be either motivating or intimidating to these teams.
Even with all this, we can still expect the favorites to make it out of their respective group stage brackets (Fnatic, nV, NiP, VP). However, upsets are likely and will happen, especially for the NA v EU matches.
Either way, we can expect nutty plays and great matches, and hopefully drops.
Going to put more thinking into these games than usual, picks will come slowly, but I will try to post a pick for every game I think is worth betting on.

The matches currently listed on lounge are for Groups A and B. Without giving analysis, it should be clear that Fnatic should be the clear favorites to make it out of group A. Fnatic > VOX Eminor Natus Vincere > Flip.Sid3 Tactics : : **s1mple will not be playing, he is banned from esl and other Valve-sponsored events if I recall correctly. However I and very sure he will not be playing; davcost will be playing in his place. I do think, however, some people may overvalue the raw, VAC-worthy skill that s1mple brings to the team, skewing the odds a bit. Still think a solid pick on Na'Vi though. I'm going to be a tad salty if I lose that bet, you'll see why.

General Prediction for Group B: EnVy Us vs. Titan --> nV have been in a slight slump recently, but I ecpect them to be on the top of their game, practicing all they can for this event. Titan, on the other hand, gets flak for "CarryS" being the entire Titan team. As much as I like Titan and would like to see them move out of the group I predict they will lose to nV, win the loser bracket match, then lose to nV again. LGB vs. Penta --> When comparing individual stats, PENTA as a team are all above LGB's players individually. BUT, LGB does have talented players and solid tactics. However, PENTA has been looking fairly solid with the addition of Troubley. I expect Penta to take this match.

Throwing a small bet on VOX because it's the first game for fnatic, there is a small possibility that fnatic might not be on the top of their game. I honestly feel VOX gets too little suport for the potential they have. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3vkL1nxQDI

nV won't mess around at all when it comes to a tourney as big as this. They'll want to save their big boosts and strats for the semis and finals, but they won't want to risk losing a single game. I do however, expect them to pull out most of their tricks against fnatic, they've lost every game vs them so far, and will be thirsting for that win over them.

I feel CLG might be the best in NA at the moment, with a slight edge over C9, I think they should win this game, but end up losing to NiP. predicting NiP will make it out of their group, get_right doesn't fuck around.

This tournament is so easy to predict in quarter finals. This is the group stage, of course it's fairly predictable, but I don't like just taking safe picks, its not fun and doesnt make the games exciting to watch. taking small risks, like I di on CLG v HR and C9 v TSM make the betting a lot more enjoyable imo, and pays off.

so my account is banned for "insubstantial posts," I'll be posting from this account sporadically to update bets, but spring break just started and all, won't be as often as one might like. For tomorrow, I'd go medium to high on all the overdogs, all the matches are bo3 and nV, Fnatic, VP, and NiP are all looking to win this tourney. I'd say pretty safe.

NiP > TSM obviously I think Fnatic > VP but I think a small underdog bet might be worth in case the Virtus.Plow shows up huge. nV vs NiP, hard to decide, id say pretty close to 50-50, just going to place a small bet later based on odds.

In the final match tomorrow, I see Fnatic or NiP winning, depending on odds, a bet on VP may be worth it as they were last year's champions and are more than capable of keeping that title. However, with the roster change on NiP and Fnatic's performance over the last few months I'd say these two hold a slight edge over the other teams. when my ban is up ill post picks every now and then but don't expect too much, when finals are over and summer break starts I'll post bets on every match again. That's the plan for now at least. Best of luck to all of you that follow this thread. http://i.gyazo.com/abb28d9edaa3bce1953c2d4d5dcfd3cc.png***PM MAIN ACC (MICHINZX) WITH STEAM PROFILE LINK FOR STEAM GROUP INVITE, WILL DO PICKS THERE IN THE MEANTIME

Your posts weren't very insubstantial lol, probably better than most people posting. mods are salty so im quitting this thread, was a short ride but if posting picks as they come along is considered "spam" and "insubstantial" then theres no point in me posting here to help people, I may be back in a few months if im not too busy, bye EDIT: because this post may be "insubstantial," NiP > nV, going high on this one, NiP shines in bo3 matches and they are bloodthirsty for the championship win here. In the final match tomorrow, I see Fnatic or NiP winning, depending on odds, a bet on VP may be worth it as they were last year's champions and are more than capable of keeping that title. However, with the roster change on NiP and Fnatic's performance over the last few months I'd say these two hold a slight edge over the other teams. when my ban is up ill post picks every now and then but don't expect too much, when finals are over and summer break starts I'll post bets on every match again. That's the plan for now at least. I am not a mod, but I believe the problem is not about the picks but your frequent "updates" in this thread. There is a sticky thread "Marketplace rules and guidelines" https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3629.0, and one of the rules is that you should only bump the thread (including update) once every 24 hours. Looking at the previous page, I see you did make quite some updates a day, and that likely caused your first ban.

so my account is banned for "insubstantial posts," I'll be posting from this account sporadically to update bets, but spring break just started and all, won't be as often as one might like. For tomorrow, I'd go medium to high on all the overdogs, all the matches are bo3 and nV, Fnatic, VP, and NiP are all looking to win this tourney. I'd say pretty safe.

Service looks very good, sadly I play dota 2 much more than csgo (still have over 100 hours on csgo though), so if you could provide dota 2 picks that would be fantastic. You seem to be on the most part correct.
unfortunately, I don't really play dota, and ive gotten rather bored with the whole moba genre as well; I don't even play csgo anymore. to get into dota enough to make smart bets will take too much effort and time, so I will not be making any dota bet predictions. also this.

heading out to the gym right now so I won't be able to watch the rest of the games, but from the first flipsid3 v penta game they look pretty good today, i expect them to take their current match (second map inferno), seeing s1mple and worldedit on inferno with their legendary awp skills, even if inferno is penta's pick, and get at least 1 map, if not the win, against G2.

last pick for the day, might place an icb on elevate if they win this match though; elevate have a history of dominating on LANs, but the odds on this match are too good to not bet on Nihilium (Former denial), id say 40-60 for this bo3, even if Hiko and the doodle are on elevate. fanboys hyping up the odds a bit too much i think. edit: second map is nuke for F.S v G2, flipsid3 should take this match considering their performance on their earlier nuke game vs penta. ez skins ez life

Looks like I was right on this one, it was a damn close game but if my team did not win they had one more BO3 to secure the win because the other team came from the losers bracket.

You should definitely check vulvun. They also accept bitcoin (maybe they stopped?? ) and have great contests along with free to enter contests very often.
You can optionally enter my ref code when signing up for a 100% deposit bonus. PM me if you want the code, I don't want this to seem like I'm promoting my referral shamelessly. Nah, screw what I said, they no longer accept bitcoin from what it seems.

ignore what i said earlier, going to be placing a few bets here and there, but expecting the finals to be something like HR v F.S, with flipsid3 most likely winning the CIS tourney. expecting HR to win their first game, but not betting b/c odds. watched a bit of the FF v FV game, looks like flying v had a lot of internet issues and such, happens.

torn on this game, proporty played terrible and gave ldlc.w the win, but at the same time, flipsid3 also played terrible and made a close win vs rock. on a normal day, FS definitely outclasses LDLC, but given the skewed odds from the games mentioned before, a very low bet on LDLC seems alright. ducks > myXMG most likely, but havent seen these teams in a while so skipping personally. not much else to say on the other games, most likely skip. haven't seen ldlc.b at all either.

i literally just got back home so ill be looking at those games later. as for parlays i have no idea how they work and im too lazy to figure out how and experiment, so wont be bothering. nitrogen is becoming more and more lackluster to say the least, for esports betting, so probably will stop using it altogether if things dont improve.

mich, i totally agree with you about nitrogen going downhill at least on the CSGO betting side. i would suggest btcbook.eu they seem to have the game available way sooner and also up until the match actually starts. I know you said your not really interested in the parlays but its actually pretty simple. For example if you have 3 picks that you are certain will win, you bet them into a parlay. What its doing is after each win, the money rides on to the next game. Meaning, you need to win all the picks to clear the parlay. The downside is if you lose 1 of the 3 picks the whole bet/parlay is a loss, on the upside if they come through its a much better payout than betting the games individually. I prefer to make single bets and also a small parlay of all of my certain picks. You didn't ask but i figured maybe you would like to know.

Guys I am sorry CBTC does not offer e-sports betting but hope we do one day. Where do you guys like to bet on eSports? Also how can you predict it? What do those stats from Steam.com or otherwise say and help you? Curious to learn more. Thanks. i
nice to see that one of the more prominent members of the community bothered to visit my thread As for betting on esports in general, I personally like seeing variety in betting on a single match, ex what nitrogensports does (i dont know whats its called, but ex win 1 game out a bo3, win x rounds out of a bo1 match). If your site was so say, open up esports betting maybe something like x player with most kills, who wins pistol round, etc, might be interesting additions. As for stats I mostly go to HLTV. however, since nitrogen seems to be going downhill at the moment i'd like to see new places for betting on csgo open up with bitcoin. at the moment for reasons I am sticking to lounge and betting with skins but if a great platform opens up for csgo bitcoin betting i would certainly use it. For predicting bets I use some combination of gut feel from watching and analyzing how teams are doing lately as well as variables such as ddos, inconsistency, and maps + vetos. this one is by far the most important, as even a single map pick or veto cna decide a match. as magicmexican stated before somewhere, csgo is very variance-heavy, and gut feel (for me at least) comes in useful, and has worked out so far. (not purely gut feel but calculated to an extent. ) also steam.com leads to this the gaming platform stea mis store.steampowered.com and steamcommunity.com, and those do not provide statistics of any sort. I;m just doing homework and whatnot so if you want to learn more / discuess pm me or suggest an alternative method of communication, safe-mail not preferred atm because its on my tails usb and I may or may not have misplaced it fuck. im (very ) drunk so im going to stop.

steam or steampowered.com has nothing to do with statistics and betting, you need to use 3rd party sites and services to be able to bet on CSGo matches, like this site http://csgolounge.com/When you can bet your in game weapon skins (some worth thousands of dollars).

fox is a god of sorts and HR are messing around? (aug buy) might not be 3-0 as I thought, maybe 3-1 if k1ck bring their game, but still expect HR to win easily. As for VP v nV just bet on your favorite team, true 50-50 game for the gambling addicts, will be a great game to watch.

going to be skipping winout v noble, but if you really feel compelled to bet i'd say throw a very small bet onto winout, but I personally have not seen either of these teams in a while so i'll be skipping regardless.

the virtus plow seems lost somewhere, bets not going too well today; mouz 1-0 up against navi as well really expected VP to win vs navi, especially on cobble.

I was considering taking VP, but luckily got distracted by something more important and forgot about it. Then later saw a decent steam coming on NaVi and decided to fade VP, knowing their throw'y nature. Looks like they are having an offday.

betting on navi v penta (navi) is probably a good idea, but I won't be b/c odds. If i had asiimovs I would though. Other than that, there's a truckload of teams that I don't know about, so I'll be skipping a lot of those. underdog bet on Nihilium (former denial) seems good though.

with how map bans will probably play out, im going to say vp probably going to be leaving out a number of my picks for the next few weeks, not going to have as much time to analyze and post with finals starting in a few hours. I will be posting no-brainer picks like this on for sure though; VP with 30% odds? ez decision, especially since nuke is in the map pool for gameshow series(i think); instant ban from fnatic right there

seeing how HR has improved recently though, an underdog bet might be worth on the game vs Titan.

Big announcement: had some bitcoin lying around that was not being used for drugs, so using ~.1 btc to start on nitrogensports; i see a lot of potential with the options in betting and will gradually shift to using nitrogensports for bitcoin betting, especially since their esports betting has gotten better. Unit size will be 2 mbtc (0.002) with 53 units to start with. Will be doing mostly straight bets, maybe a parlay once in a blue moon. First of many bets to come: also i take back what I said about not being able to post bets as much; although exams will limit my time quite a bit, allergies are hitting me like a train and it looks like even sudafed isn't doing much to help. do note that some of these games are not listed on lounge.

To some people, especially ones who dont use nitrogen, it might look like the result of the already lost bet.

off to a real strong start. +.00219 btc --> +1.595 units waiting on the last CLG v LG game to update the other betslip. also will be doubling up my bet for that game with a bet on lounge. also a note on people that may have watched the Titan V HR game: it was 15-14 HR favor and titan was down to 1 player vs 5 on HR, and all 5 members of HR timed out. Titan decided to concede the win seeing that in a 1v5 situation, it was incredibly unlikely titan would clutch the tie. Lounge has drafted the game as an HR win, as did nitrogensports and other bookies.

you just add the spread to the final score
Like if a bo3 underdog loses 1 : 2, but with the +1,5 spread the score "would be" 1+1,5 : 2 = 2,5 : 2, so underdog wins
Or if the fav wins 2 : 1, he wins ML but loses the -1,5 spread, because its 2 -1,5 : 1 = 0,5 : 1

16-11 would cover it too, because it would be 16-4,5 to 11 = 11,5 to 11 so navi win by 0,5 point

We just added eSports yesterday: https://www.fairlay.com/event/category-decimal/esports/all/match/On Fairlay you can bet with an account but you don't have to use one, direct Bitcoin deposits on bets are possible as well. On other sports our odds are clearly superior to all other bookmaker on average. eSports is very new so we can not make say yet how it will play out (we don't make the odds, our user and market maker make them) but we are optimistic than we will offer for eSports soon the bets available odds as well. So we would be happy if you give it a try and we always are happy about feedback and are usually very quick to make improvements if suggested.

In addition, there is no reason or incentive for me to change to status quo and use a different site, especially since it is in beta. with improvements however, fairlay could be a very good alternative if some of its features were to outshine nitrogen.

this dreamhack LAN has a 40k prize pool, and it's on Titan's home turf; with those factored in, as well as Maniac acmitting they had an absolute shit day they lost that bo3 to HR, i figured Titan you be back at their old level of play, putting them above HR.

thats pretty true, over half the people that pm for for "private advice" are just trying to get my skype info one of the reasons why im not posting 100% of my picks anymore also not going to be calculating / updating units with every betslip update, will calculate once a day or so doubling unit size(.002 -> .004), bankroll .1 -> .2

Well thing is, these people dont care about the odds or unit sizing of your picks.
If you want your thread to rise in popularity you need to get rid of all that 'advanced' stuff.
And dont bother worrying about the net win/loss or anything fancy like that, just go for big ML favs and make your winrate look pretty (aim to get 70%+, doesnt matter if picks would be 1.1-1.3 odds) - thats a recipe to impress the people around here it seems.

its not even that "fancy," just bet small, win small, and make a low risk, sizeable amount from your bankroll besides who cares about impressing the people on here, its not like i need their approval of my betting

Ye, you dont. I'm just pointing out the overall level of stupidity here.
Btw you should consider testing the fairlay for better odds and faster grading. Difference in odds will add up quite fast in the long run.
Like nitro currently offering Piter - Acer (1.378 v 2.953) and on the fairlay you can get 1.401 v 3.008

The potential ROI in e-sports is way higher compated to 'real' sports (for now), just because there are a lot more square bettors who move the lines and not a lot of sharp competition. In real sports, its extremely hard to find value because all +ev spots are dissapearing really fast after the lines come up, as a result of all sharp money with statistical models behind them jumping on them as long as they are profitable. You are also mistaken in your feeling thats its easier to throw in online game compared to a physical sport. I would argue that the reverse is actually way more true.

Yes, there is always the risk of matches being thrown. In CS:GO this past year a tier 1 NA Team was banned from participating in tourneys do to match fixing, thus ruining their careers until the ban ends. So, if you stick to the pro level in my opinion you shouldn't need to worry about match fixing.

you forget that iBP was a pro team, best in NA while they were going. however, in the current time, tier 1 and tier 2 teams very rarely throw now, risk outweigh the potential benefits of throwing right now.

a random few of the bets i placed on fairlay, moving on from nitrogensports, grading takes way too long and fairlay offers better odds. these free picks were chosen randomly. a word on fnatic v tsm; tsm seems to have a playstyle that counters fnatic; theyve shown great performances against fnatic in particular, and expect them to win the match, but not betting on a spread because fnatic is fnatic, the best team in the world at the moment.

uunfortunately, TSM got cocky(?) and decided to go t side first on overpass after winning the knife round, and ended up not doing so well. Don't know what happened, but was not expecting this, lot of upset victories from underdog teams today as well. in addition, fairlay gives the count of mbtc won within the last week, so ill be using that. Also will be restarting the count for units and whatnot, unit size is still 4mbtc, bankroll is at 0.2 btc. from some betslips i placed earlier, i think my bankroll is at ~0.23 right now, not counting the winnings from nitrogen.
quick update as well, second map for titan v mouz has been rescheduled.

picks for today, still debating on fnatic v VP; both tier one teams, but fnatic is still better, but they will be playing without olof, +schnieder instead. he has been on the team in the past, so they may still play extremely well, but you never know. seems map 1 is mirage, most likely vp will take map 1. seems i was right, currently 7-3 vp winning on t side, at this rate VP will have a decent chance to win the series. edit im stupid and started watching late, fnatic 2-0. mirage was map 2 but fnatic still took it 16-12 man i look stupid

If you look at Match: CLG (-2.5) that's the pick he's making. The rest of the betslip is just indicating which match it is (can be Bo3 or Bo5 IIRC), the odds and the bet value.

looks like the parlay was lost with VP taking the match off TSM, the virtus plow making a big showing. but, i did make up for the loss and made a bit with this line to cover it, not so bad general tip for everyone: flipside is pretty free on ESL league at the least, s1mple still banned.

judging by how this game is going right now, this parlay might as well be a win. That early game dive was a disaster for enemy, almost a 4k gold lead not even 10 minutes into the game. edit; that small csgo paylay I posted before is also a win, TSM 2-0's HR.

For a -676 ML line, they sure did struggle to close out a series @map2. Was it a tripple tiebreak if i am not mistaken?

I didn't watch map 2 trusting TSM to win after that dominating show on mirage, was watchin the Liquid V NME game instead http://www.hltv.org/match/2296285-tsm-hellraisers-fragbite-masters-season-4-finalson another note, C9 is choking against Gravity right now, 10k gold down in 30 minutes. I dont see them coming back from this one

The only thing I think the casters are right about in this game is that "anything can happen," and its fairly accurate; bad map picks, just missing the timing by a tenth of a second can cost even the clear overdogs an entire match. Great examples I see often: scoping out from the AWP at the worst possible moment and costing the round; just having your back turned at the wrong moment, having a grenade out at the exact wrong moment, etc. And with the economy system in CSGO plays a large part, small mistakes on key rounds can actually end up cost 2 or even 3 rounds depending on the money. I didnt watch the game but my guess is that KeyD were either not on form or small things like this added up and cost them the game. I think something similar happened with Titan v LDLC a long time ago, back when Titan were considered one of the best in the world with a good portion of the ex LDLC, now nV lineup. -1 unit for me, but it happens, LCS is pretty free though, upsets are rare. PS, whats your thoughts on Rain vs Maru?

PS, whats your thoughts on Rain vs Maru?
Its tough, i was thinking about firing Rain ML @2.8 or Rain +1,5 at even money (just because of the odds), but decided not too. On the one hand, he looks to be in the pretty damn good shape, destroying both Innovation and Bbyong. However, those 2 are not at the same level as Maru when it comes to TvP. Maru's TvP is hands down the best in the world right now, with Dream coming close 2nd. Stylistically, i think its a good match for Maru. Rain is a defensive toss, with a very few all-in/timing builds in his arsenal (mostly blink stalkers). I expect him just trying to defend his 3 bases on most maps and Maru just dropping/multitasking him to death. Rain have shown a weakness to this kind of drop/multiprong attacks style against Fantasy, and Maru is like Fantasy times 10. Maru should be super comfortable against Rain, unlike vs someone tricky and annoying like Parting. So i think the most likely outcome is Maru 3-1 The only reason why i did pass on taking that line is Maru's potential wrists problems.

unfortunately, Liquid decided to give away Ryze and therefore the game to Gravity, parlay was going good with the Impulse win but oh well. on a semi related note, CLG vs TSM is starting soon, going to be a great game no matter who wins.

I really love Counter Strike : Global Offensive as a game , could you please recommend a good website for gambling or betting ? I already know CSGOLounge even If I never tested it because I didn't really understand hwo it works . Also could you tell me which website should I choose on the three others you posted ? I have no experience and I wanna choose one and one only ? which one you recommend highly . https://nitrogensports.eu/ looks good (looking at the design I'd say it's professional) .

I honestly got tired of csgolounge a while ago, and nitrogensports is alright for betting, the only negative thing i would have to say about them is the time it takes for some wagers to be graded and their blackjack is terrible.

Titan is almost entirely dependant on kenny and apex to perform now; if that game wasnt in the mix id say 95% it would hit, if we were talking about kenny from 6-7 months ago virtus wouldnt have a chance if the map wasnt cache or mirage, but Kenny has really gotten rusty, but he still shows his insane moments. but its cs who knows what'll happen

A lot of very close games lately. Even that Navi line in the parlay ended up being 16-13.
I think CsGo is the most specific and hard e-sport to bet on, the variance looks huge.
On the other hand, i think the value lays @underdogs, and more likely, in the spreads

great observation magic, and for the most part thats true. I dont remember where but someone decided to bet 1 unit on every bo1 match on the underdog, and they ended up coming out ahead, it was an interesting experiment.

I am not a fan of adding any of these -2000 or so lines to the parlay. I call them "parlay killers" for a reason. Especially in CsGO, where it seems that -1000 and -2000 favs lose way more often than ones in Dota/Starcraft.
A couple of months ago i used to add a lot of these "lock" lines to the parlays, from CsGo, from tennis, from other sports. And its just not worth it, they fail too often and dont bring that much value.

yea magic is right on this one, i myself steer clear of these bets. to me the risk greatly outweighs the reward. Although i think penta have 0% chance of winning, i still wouldn't want it in my parlay. -500 is about the worst odds i will take. just me though
