I saw c9 tipped to beat Nip and earlier Dig to beat Complexity which I would have gone with if I had seen it in time, the old school Forest and Friberg can handle this but maybe I can watch them next time.

So I went 3 maps on the c9 game as perhaps its contentious but anyhow I still cant say I know and this match especially seems hard to call because either team has not done great recently.   Only c9 beat Spirit and thats a good result to have as spirit are often a deadly team.

https://www.hltv.org/matches/2346219/nip-vs-cloud9-cs-summit-7

I can see why nip would be the favorites, all speaking the same native language helps and I believe c9 is a newer arrangement probably still learning to coordinate but once again I hope 3 maps comes through, its better gameplay if neither team wipes the other on every map.

I am faithful to Sportsbet and Stake simply because they have great loyalty programs.
totally forgot about 'em, they tend to be pretty awesome once you reach high tiers...i'm still a peasant in the lower tiers but getting nice rewards every now and then  Cheesy and 25mBTC limit ain't that bad like you said, i thought it was much lower. i know a guy, a sharp bettor who does this for a living, who got limited to 0.5mbtc in some no name bookie LOL, literally a "gtfo my site! you're wrecking us" 🤣

gonna leave my LoL thursday pick early, one last unit in a esports game on SB before i go back to the big boy books lol

(boosted to 2.02) no consensus in moneyline for now, some sites have DRX @1.70 odds, some others @2.03 (maybe they're waiting to match Pinnacle lines)...i just think it's gonna be a tough match for both, KT were pretty decent vs. Hanwha and even beat T1 last week...will keep an eye on the picks in the 2nd game and see if i throw a hedge just in case

@Trofo  sounds like you're gonna have to start shopping for an esports site that offers higher limits in order to keep a consistent profits and get the most value (something you're not getting on SB). Obviously, sites like SB, FJ or Stake are not one of those, so if you wanna try out one of the well-established bookies on this forum, you're out of luck. Have you tried Pinnacle yet? i remember you saying you had an old acc there
I am faithful to Sportsbet and Stake simply because they have great loyalty programs. Stake is giving me free money every Saturday and once every month. Sportsbet clubhouse is giving back even more, last few rewards in titanium tier were all well above 5 mBTC each which is nice bonus and helps me stay in the green. Also that multi insurance is great thing and I end up getting free bets almost every time I loose ticket. They are even nice enough that limit is still 25mBTC even though BTC has gone way up.

I don't mind the limits since they are mostly on low tier tournaments and actually keep me in check. It is not a good idea to bet big amounts on tournaments with small prize funds Smiley No matter I am doing good at the moment they actually saved me a lot of money in some occasions.

That series between Heroic and mouseports yesterday should've easily went to three maps but Heroic decides to throw I really thought they had Vertigo in the bag once they took the lead in the second half. Insane performance by Karrigan I haven't seen an IGL put up an insane performance like that lol.

Cloud9 at slight underdog odds against a struggling NiP team seems like a no brainer even though they had the tougher match up they should've kept it somewhat close.
damn Heroic fluke bots, man :/  Mouse and Karrigan tho 🔥🔥

Well, another big tourney just started: DreamHack, but the matches today are kinda meh. Spirit - Forze is the russian classic of this era, but both teams just went through some roster changes it seems so not sure if i want to drop some money on this match. Spirit have a new guy that will replace iDisbalance, and Forze no longer have Xsepower (benched maybe?), game's literally a toss up

huh, is it me or you seem to hit multis consistently? that second one woulda covered all of my losses from last week,, hella nice, man 👍
Since I only play multis it would be really bad for my budget if I weren't hitting them  Grin

Too be fair I am usually hitting doubles or trebles for high stake and not the multis like I posted above. But I can't play my usual high stake multi on eSports since my stake gets limited so tickets I post in this thread are usually more x5 multi for lower stake. That goes especially for eSports handicaps since limits on them are much stricter than on ML or under/over.

@ralle  the ML at 1.80 is pretty good, Mouse odds got slashed in almost all bookmakers after american punters woke up  Cheesy current odds at 1.7x, sounds like Mouse left a good impression yesterday vs. FaZe. GL!

That over 2.5 on Heroic looks like a really good pick but I am not following it. Would not want to jinx it for you. I already got correct all eSports games I played today so I feel like playing any more would be pushing it Smiley

By the way, all usual markets are now available on Sportsbet. I guess they just needed more time to get it done properly.
yeah those bookies had all the markets available in the rest of the CSGO games, it was only in OG - Fnatic where prematch lines were gone for some reason :/

anyways, sportradar (or was it Betradar? i forgot the name of this provider) is back with their bullcrap, ffs! https://i.ibb.co/886tjHs/d8fg6.png
Fnatic - OG about to start and FJ, SB, bitsler, stake, etc, they are only offering moneyline, rest of the markets are closed...well, that's the kind of push i needed to finally top-up my esports bookie accounts  Roll Eyes i'll prolly go O2.5 maps in Heroic - Mouse, Nuke and Train should be free wins for both teams respectively

the other day i was wondering "where the f*ck did the thunderpick shills go"?, but i just realized that i have these turds on Ignore which is why i kept missing their posts...i might start reporting these shills and see if they'll start polluting this thread with their mindless and smelly shitposts

Interesting to know that Bitsler also uses betradar and yeah the lack of updated market does suck when it happens. Anyway best of luck on the over I think that should be an easy hit since both of them looked great yesterday.

I should've  just taken the over too but I already locked my pick on mousesports kind of a risky bet hoping frozen pops off again.

It was a cool night last night. Navi won. I'm so happy about that. I bet on them for the first time in a long time. Both games. And they didn't let me down. Even though they say there's two rules:
1) Don't bet on the Navies.
2) Don't bet against the Navy.

JDG @ 1.5 vs Rare Atom seems too good to miss out on, both teams at 1-3 but JDG looking a bit better with Yagao now back in the starting lineup.
i was thinking of taking this earlier, even considered dropping 2 units on it, but i hesitated and backed out after seeing JDG's recent performances...nice win tho, hope this match serves a turning point for the team, Zoom is one of my favorites LoL players in the LPL, kinda sucks seeing him and the team struggling so much lately

anyhow, cs_summit 7 just started and i'm gonna back Mouse to win today,, (boosted to 1.67, still not the best odds around tho but whatevs)

Mouse just signed Acor the other day[1], a nice addition to the roster as BotJ is benched for a while

Heroic -MIBR will start at the same time. Heroic is the main favs to the bookmakers (ML @1.14), but i remember being heavily impressed by the brazilians back in december, taking MIBR +1.5 handicap was free money cos of their great form back then.

Furia - Cloud 9 later today, should finally be a winnable match for the brazilians, but ML odds are not that attractive imo...heh! and i just found out that Cloud9 signed Xeppaa from Chaos? lol Cloud already playing 4v5 each round and the match hasn't even started 😂🤣

What are your thoughts on winning the tournament? Maybe Navi will pull through and make it to the finals.

Astralis is going to win it imo, NaVi could make it to the finals if Vitality underperforms but I doubt they will as they've looked very consistent throughout the tournament and probably want another rematch with Astralis after getting stomped on Inferno yesterday.

this is why i try to avoid parlays as much as possible lately
Same, having a rough time with parlays yesterday I parlayed my Vitality with Misfits pick good thing both lost though.  

Taking Vitality for the lower bracket final since the odds seems way too high NaVi did 2-0 Liquid but it was still close as both maps came down to 2-3 rounds.

Wow just what a final that was it yesterday. I am glad I didn't end up betting on Vitality, even though they looked so strong, but Astralis was just too good for them. And then Navi actually pulled it off to get back into the tournament through the lower brack finals and managed to beat Astralis. I really enjoyed watching the tournament and it's alright losing a bit money on Astralis, can't win them all. I hope the will come back stronger next time.

Yesterday felt like an underdog day Navi playing out of their minds winning two series in a row then on the LCK you have T1 losing to KT Rolster and Gen G losing to Hanwha Life both favorites getting reverse swept after winning the first map.

JDG @ 1.5 vs Rare Atom seems too good to miss out on, both teams at 1-3 but JDG looking a bit better with Yagao now back in the starting lineup.

Well played by NAVI. They beat Vitality and Astralis in the same day to win $60k prizemoney. Good start of the year for them. They beat the favs and 2nd favs to take home the title.

I couldn't give a reliable answer tbh, I need to watch more games.    Navi are the greatest team to almost but never win a major so right upto the end they are a threat to any team and then whatever occured previous still somehow in finals it can be a bit iffy for them.

I think 3 maps is reasonable, s1mple and zywoo either side but it comes down to teamwork to utilise kills for actual rounds no silly stuff like losing 4 to 1 deagle player like yesterday
