you guys follow NaVi closely? i'd like to know if they're overperforming right now or if they're just a fluke...been following Dota since late 2019 (before The International started), and i don't remember this team being this damn good 😲  
and i'm with you on Secret, map handicap +1 has been a good ticket against them lately, i'll prolly go with that line next Friday
They're slightly overperforming but I don't think it's a fluke NaVi became this good because the organization dropped their current roster and picked up the entire flytomoon roster which is like one of the top CIS teams at the moment. During their flytomoon days I remember they were like the up and coming team it kind of reminds me when the Team Liquid's roster used to be in Alliance.

why is no one talking about Valorant's first strike tournament. <...>
well, for starters, the real deal starts in December. The qualifiers are ongoing but, from a gambling POV, there's not much to talk about, i mean, bookies are not even offering lines for the quali phase, so...

but maybe people will talk more about it next month. I think First Strike is the biggest Valorant tournament so far, i'll definitely keep an eye on this tourney, should give newbies like me a good idea about who are the current top teams to follow in upcoming tournaments.

why is no one talking about Valorant's first strike tournament. This tournament was organized by the developers which is Riot games, it's a regional qualifier similar to League of Legends that has LCS, LCK, LEC, and LPL. First Strike in NA was already finished, and FS in other region is currently on the go.

or maybe there are only a few people who know Valorant or don't really like it? It's a fun FPS game, the competition is quite great and I'm looking forward to discuss and share my thoughts on every game since I'm watching all Valorant tournaments in NA.

I took the same bet as well Navi's form is looking strong at the moment and Alliance slightly underperforming after watching their series against OG.

anyways, NaVi took game 1, currently in the drafts, i need Alliance to show up so i can keep my winning streak going, i got O2.5 maps https://i.ibb.co/G7fcR22/maps.png  Nigma - OG, another match that could go either way, that's how good the level in this tourney is, match will prolly go to the game 3

Saw odds for 1.74 Navi to win and after my Combo with Secret which lost to Vikings - i will always bet single bets.

I go for Navi to win, they show now very good skills and stable perfomance, and yesterday w33 1-19 on Storm made me to cry.  Grin Grin

Secret is in a weird situation after their 4th place finish on ESL One it feels like their momentum was broken by mudgolems. The +1.5 handicap is currently 2-0 so I might take that in their next match vs Liquid if bookies continue to favor them heavily.

There are many tournaments and competitions every day. Every hour of the day there is almost something you can bet on. how not to get bored easily. i was shocked by those prize pools for winners of certain tournaments.

I think its best to focus on one or two games and try to get to know them really good. I found it best for myself to bet on games I play or played myself. Especially with CSGO and Dota it's easy for me to follow the bug tournaments because I really enjoy to watch the professional games.

Phew! after losing like 4 or 5 tickets in a row in the past few days, i'm slowly but surely recovering from that bad run, Mudgolems and mousesports with some great performances yesterday, and today with another winning ticket on Dota thx to Just Error's 2nd map performance...now i just need Heroic to win their map pick aganist NiP and that'll be 4/4 wins



I have bet myself of quite a few CSGO, Dota and LOL games over the last few years. But what about Age of Empires 2? Anyone knows if there are chances to bet on the big tournaments as well? For example the big 2vs2 Worldcup coming up this month, with the finals to be played right before Christmas. I know the follower base of AoE2 is fairly small compared to CSGO but there are is a lot of money involved in the games these days, with price money of more than $10k for the top finishers.
Considering that the group stage just started (i think), and the biggest bookies like gg.bet, unikrn and pinnacle aren't offering any markets for it, i dont think you'll be able to bet on this, but i could be wrong, haven't checked more bookies...kinda sucks that bookies offer lines for a random game called Osu! but not for AoE  Roll Eyes

how yesterday these guys played against Secret it was wow, so, as for me, 0 chances for nigma.
Agree with this. Mudgolems are on fire and I am placing a bet on them for sure.

I am starting the day with handicaps on Yellow Submarine against Cyberium and ViCi against Invictus. Nice little double with odds over 3 to start the day and hopefully boost my balance so I can go bigger stakes later on higher profile games.

DOTA2 EPIC LEAGUE

Navi and Just error.. i can say these are the two main contenders on the CIS scene (former VP, no matter SumaiL).
I think that Navi has a chance to win and the game itself promises to be sweaty!
Well, in order to raise more money, I decided to add the Secret match to the combo bet, I think they will win 2-0, 2-1 Vikings.

Lol.  I like Soma cos of his style.  Do I think he's winning the Bo7 vs Zero?  Nope..  Will I bet on him.  Yes, small.  Cheesy
i'll go with the same just for fun, although, i wonder if there's value on Zer0 -1.5 map handicap at 1.98 🤔

on another note, does anyone here follow competitive Super Smash Bros? 'cause i just noticed that Buff.bet added Super Smash bros to their lineup (prolly for a short while). They're offering lines for a showmatch between MkLeo (Smash bros champion in the Evo 2019, a big fighting tourney) and Samsora (top 4 in that same tourney)


too bad i have 0 knowledge about fighting games lol

Well, OG got outdrafted in game 1, same story in game 2 + Dogson and the rest of the team went trolling-mode even though they had a good early game *sigh*

^  Hah.  Just keep in mind..  I'm not a sharp sports gambler.  All my picks are from a degenerate's perspective.  Cheesy

Anyway I'm rooting for Soma.  The guy has a fun style.
still, your SC picks are better than mine for sure, i don't even follow competitive SC closely, let alone Broodwar...Soma, eh? bookies have him as the underdog (moneyline @2.44)

Did you guys see that new team Just Error? From what I have been able to find they just formed recently but all the players are among the very best on their positions (NoOne and Sumail just to name 2). I am thinking of placing a bet on them today. Mudgolems just won tournament and they could enter into this game a bit slow. On the other hand Just Error certainly wants to prove them selves from beginning.
I'd give Mudgolems the edge here, they've been pretty hot lately, they had a good showing in ESL One Germany, although they had an underwhelming performance in Summit 13

Lol.  I like Soma cos of his style.  Do I think he's winning the Bo7 vs Zero?  Nope..  Will I bet on him.  Yes, small.  Cheesy

Trofo, a friend of mine compares Just Error players as somewhat like a group of young, second tier EPL players that have the potential to become first tier...  I guess kinda like Foden, Greenwood?

Gotta high five myself for placing a bet on Gen.G yesterday, great win and even disappointment from G2 don't feel so bad right now, bets for today:

forZE vs BIG - MY BET

Astralis vs ENCE, betting for correct score Astralis 2-0 ENCE - MY BET

BIG vs mousesports - MY BET

I think BIG will focus more on their later match against mouse so betting forZE at those odds might be a good way to go. Betting on Astralis to win 2-0 because odds for win itself are too low to risk while I doubt that ENCE will be able to win at least one map so it seems to be a reasonable bet. Finally BIG vs mouse, as I said earlier imho BIG will focus on this match today and they should win it rather easily, GL!
