Looking forward to MSI tomorrow and maybe go for some DWG vs RNG action since that's the first game of the Rumble stage.

i've got DWG to win. I was thinking of going for 'Total inhibitors detroyed over1.5' but i'm not sure if this is gonna be a slow-paced match or an over 30min kind of match. Also, you don't see DWG with such odds very often so why not?

i also booked MAD Lions to win vs. Cloud9. Couldn't find any value in the alternative markets, so i'll back the lec team

Rest of the matches look like they're gonna very one-sided so perhaps there's value in 'total kills handicap' for the main fav, no chance for pentanetgg and psg.talon

I am on Team Spirit +1.5 but I only got odds about 1.65, still good value for me. I hate playing over maps since then I can't cheer on the first map. This way I can cheer for Spirit form the beginning

Understandable, I also went small on the handicap incase my over backfires and what a comeback from VP on the third map nearly thought they'll lose the series since Team Spirit manage to snowball a good lead during the early game. Another sweet profit day. Cheesy

We got an interesting game on the CIS upper division between VP and Team Spirit both teams tied for 1st place only dropping one map.

Last season Team Spirit is the only team to get a map on VP and with both sides taking down every single team they've faced it's likely we'll have another close series.

With that i'm taking the o2.5 maps @2.25, some nice value compared to the +1.5 Team Spirit handicap that's currently sitting @1.7. I could also see it going under but it highly depends on the draft.

If Spirit gets first map I'll probably take VP to win, those odds get nice and juicy.

Just picked up TL Dota2 against Team Secret on Betsy. Don't know if it's good or bad since I don't know much about Dota but it was live and TL were 1-0 up by the time I put the bet on.

Did not go your way in the end but it was great match. I watched most of it and there was some amazing plays and lots of turnarounds from both sides.

What works best for me in DOTA betting is playing that outsider takes one map before the match and taking live bets against the run of play. For instance after favourite looses first map you take them to win the match. Those odds usually have lots of value in it.

Too bad I just watched Secret yesterday, both my favourite selections would end up winning if I played them.

And Fnatic are trash, but I need to check it 1 more time whether they're still trash or not Grin

they're still trash Grin

They need to take a break, it's just sad to watch them play now, they're probably tier 3 or tier 4 right now, should be playing in Spring Sweet Spring or one of those crappy cs tournaments no one watches lol

Also Sportsbet have added betsy as their seperate esports provider, now they're offering cashouts and alternative handicaps, totals, props etc.

https://sportsbet.io/sports/betsy

Well that's a nice surprise. Bookmarked!

Right off the bat i can see a shit ton of markets/lines in Dota and CSGO (LoL not so much, at least for now), way more than SB's classic sportbook. Margins also look way more competitive, they seem to be 2% lower than the usual book, this makes betsy the better choice by far, even with the Price Boost the classic one offers lower value

UI is also miles better, as expected from a platform that targets esports punters. You can easily sort by tournaments, inplay or prematch, very intuitive, good stuff.
Huh, i wonder what made them add this, do they want to compete with the esports books? if so this is a step in the right direction

Can we use these markets inside our regular multi bets?

I haven't tried making multis with other sports but I think it's not possible since they're using a seperate UI, still a big improvement though.

Would have been better if SB gives some idea about out balance in crypto equivalent in Euro's to help us out with staking on Betsy.

This is my issue as well, good thing they have a convenient btc to euro converter at the bottom.

That's a good development in E-sports area. Glad that they worked it out eventually regarding eSports cashouts and more betting markets. Just tried out placing bets and seems to be working quite well so far.

That is quite big news at least for me, can't believe I did not read something about it in the main thread. Can we use these markets inside our regular multi bets?

I guess now we know why Sportsbet page had some problems yesterday and this morning.

Next goes for today:
Heroic vs Sproud im wish Sproud win butt Heroic is to good they win for sure.
G2 Esports vs FaZe Clan FaZe dont play like the old days, G2 Sports the better team imt hink they win.

I got the same predictions on both matches and put them in a small parlay @1.79, Heroic is just a level above them and I don't see any good reason to back Sprout since they've been losing to tier two teams.

G2 having some great form recently and Faze are slowly improving but it's not enough to turn those into wins.

Very good news for Dota 2 players and fans. The International 10 is all set and it'll happen by this upcoming month of August. It was announced on "Icefrog's" facebook page who's known as Wykrhm Reddy.

~

I am happy that we can finally see The International on air again, I think this is a bigger prize pool than the last time, not to mention that there will be a battle pass before the event starts which contributes to the prize pool even more, I hope that this is the only The International that will have two battle passes before happening because that can only mean that we are going to have another pandemic if a second delay happens.

This is now going to happen. It's been a year and we should probably be on the TI 11 if it's not because of the covid-19. But at least Valve has decided to release a schedule and we've got lan events that had happened already.

The first one was in Singapore, the first major and lan event during the pandemic.

Damnnn, OG couldn't even take 1 map against Astralis. They were playing really well before that match but I guess that was also because they were not against top-tier teams.
The gap between the top 5 teams and OG still too big, but I also heard from the casters that they weren't playing in Bootcamp Undecided

I got @1.57 for Tundra +1.5. I feel it's worth it and hopefully, it hits.

BIG - Complexity and fnatic - mouse. Don't feel like placing any bets. First game is a massive toss up and if i place a ticket there i might as well ask support for an address to donate some mbtc. Second one looks like it could be a clean 32-0 for Mouse if they take the game seriously cos Fnatic are playing like a tier 4 team, painful to watch

Very much agree, based on their last few matchups (BIG vs COL), it looks like 50:50. And Fnatic are trash, but I need to check it 1 more time whether they're still trash or not Grin

yes, there is no trace of the old fnatic team anymore, it is not enjoyable to watch. The mouse will win the game tomorrow comfortably. I am watching the big vs complexity match for now. The map chosen by the complexity on the nuke map, the match is contentious even in the first map, if the nuke map wins big, they will easily win in dust2.

Cloud 9 - DWG was hands down the best game in MSI so far. Man, I was one click away from putting money on C9 to Win at 7 odds after they got their first couple of kills, but i hesitated, ffs!! Lips sealed

Anyhow the match was in touching distance of going to 3 maps, close but no cigar

good win, but imo nothing to write home about. Far from their best cs after godvice left, i feel like playing like they did yesterday will not get them that far in Flashpoint

Sorry I mean device of course, I remember his face but mixed his name up. I'd say Nip is a major downgrade but maybe Sweden and his longterm GF living there, it was enough to motivate him. Slightly ironic when this game is so online currently but I guess these guys are not poor with so many prior wins and he has this luxury to do as he likes, he can make this choice if he feels like and Im being too negative on this new Nip squad when they are rated 13 in the world right now.

Astralis have been more shaky, I think they'd be on top again in a LAN environment even missing dupreh but OG are outperforming now considering they arent top 10

Dupreeh played today and even though they did look a little shaky at times. They still managed to beat a decent and challenging OG team which were favorites. 2-0 against the favorites, thats pretty good. Apparently the team doesnt really want to play with Bubzkji but are stuck with him and are being professional. He has been pretty good for them at the moment. Obviously not the Dev1ce level but still stable enough to play with the team. This does put a lot more pressure on Dupreeh to frag though.
