BIG vs Heroic series already started but I still like BIG's live odds to win map 2 (@1.5 with overtime or 1.65 for 1x2) Dust 2 is their map pick and I think it'll be close if Heroic drops their map pick inferno currently it's 8-3 in favor of BIG. After their first match yesterday I think Heroic is the better team but I can't go against BIG knowing they could wake up on the next match.

Edit : Even better BIG crushed the first half 12-3 then struggled in the second half but they get the win anyway 16-10.

The over might be a good bet on the next match (Col vs OG) but i'll skip it for now and keep my profit.  Cheesy

What the fans are calling out is that Ares Gaming seems to be performed shady due to some smoke-breaking plays and hook shots without rocker flare and vision of clockwerk.
<...>
surely it was just salty fans, no? i haven't read anything controversial about this match
I have watched the game and I felt the same but I'm not salty as I find the opponent too careful and good in clashes. They had a 1-game tiebreaker a while ago and TNC won the game.
Well, there's this feeling but good-game to the boys and Ares Gaming is pretty good IMO if there's no proof of what's being thrown to them.
There is something fishy on their game, I do not say that the Ares gaming did something illegal because I do not have proof but when I re-watch the match; it's like they have map hack because of their unusual movement. Like you just said their clockwork have good hook rate even though there is not enough vision. Until now that game is still hot because there is really something unusual there and many fans of TNC waiting what is really the truth.

Oh my I got badly hurt yesterday. Blood on the streets all my parlays were splayed with RED!



So today I introduce my new concept, decentralised parlays.    Cool




Takes up a bit less space like that.

1 team falling cant hurt too bad.


Good luck all.

Since it's the last day of the LEC i'll take Schalke to win @2.7. Mad Lions already secure one of the top spot for the playoffs but Schalke needs the win if they want to contest for the last playoff spot and they have a good chance as their miracle run (6 win streak) continues after taking down Fnatic and Vitality in their last two.

I knew i would fuck up yesterday with so many games to choose from, mad at myself for not picking Endpoint +1.5, BIG were on the brink of losing this one.
3-3 on the week, need a winner today. Complexity ml + Dignitas ml, if that fails to convert i have to go with Furia -1.5 parlayed with something else.
gl, everyone!

edit; winner, winning week, win, win, win...  Grin

I broke even over all, 3 of mine had isoko boars within them so that was the profit gone. Didn't manage a hedge in time on that even watching it.


Today was not a lot, so I made 1 probable and 1 good luck parlay



Tempted to chuck it on again with Spirit for OG

Ok, CSGO bettors, we have DH Open, Malta Vibes playoffs and FunSpark, all starting today...here are my picks:
Took some of your predictions and they pretty much rektd all my tickets Smiley Most was for beer money multi tickets but Izako Boars made a dent in the bank. Didn't fare better on my early picks either so counting on evening games to get me back to zero.

No matter, new day tomorrow new chance to take something away from the bookies.

that would've been nice 9.49 win. I can never get myself to have more than two games in my parlays, way too risky, no matter the odds.
Absolutely agree, anything more then double or max treble is way too risky. This was my morning low stake ticket. I am working from home at the moment due to covid restrictions and since I have a PC with 3 monitors and need only one for work I try to find some morning games to make time go by faster.

My high stake ticket today is Champions League double but that is text for some other thread Smiley

Did somebody watch that game?

I had that game in my 2-way parlay (+Syman ml), didn't watch it, i was only refreshing my phone to see the score every 5 mins, it took an extra hour for them to finish. Winstrike had the lead at 29-27 and then lost 4 straight rounds. Bums just couldn't close it.

This was my go-to strategy all week, pick the favorites to win in bo1, it worked yesterday and the day before.

Too bad for your betslip, that would've been nice 9.49 win. I can never get myself to have more than two games in my parlays, way too risky, no matter the odds.

Had a nice little ticket going on today:


If you are wondering everything passed except for Winstrike. Did somebody watch that game? I know I am still quite new to CS but I never saw 6 extra times played before. Winstrake should have gotten this in regular time, had two match points as CT with full buy and managed to lose them. Then they were almost always playing catch up in those extra times.

Did you hear about shroud? King of the Reddit who's good at FPS games? There are many rumors that he's one of the lineups of C9 in Valorant.
<...>
yeah i saw that the other day. If it's true, then every C9 match, and any tourney they're competiting on in the future, are guaranteed to have at least 100k viewers, and a high viewership numbers means more sponsors = more money to everyone involved (Riot Games, C9, tournaments, sportsbooks)...pretty amazing what a single streamer guy can do  Roll Eyes

but here's an article from Forbes explaining Why Shroud Will Not Become A Full Time ‘Valorant’ Pro
This is the reason why he wanted not to play on the pro.
Quote
Shroud has frequently said he will not return to pro play, as it is a stressful and difficult life. When you consider his other option is to sit at home and play games, which will make him even more money, then it seems like a no brainer
Of course even myself would also decide not to play with pro knowing that I can still earn in the way he had been doing at all. He stated really true that playing in pro makes life more stressful and it is not really an environment that he wanted to. The pressure is really up in pro games opposite to the play he had made on where viewers loves to watch. He's game play is all about for fun and not really for a tournament.

but here's an article from Forbes explaining Why Shroud Will Not Become A Full Time ‘Valorant’ Pro
Forbe's article is just an opinion of them, I read it and it states that it's because of the salary wasn't high. Their basis isn't that accurate, how can they knew the pros' monthly, that's a confidential thing and it's very impossible to know. They also compare the monthly of $25,000 to shroud's monthly on streaming at mixer, and we knew that mixer already shut down their streaming platform. So I guess that this is one of the reasons why shroud is going back again in Valorant. The article also stated that the Valorant's championship prize isn't that high like TI's pot money to live for the rest of your life, which is another inaccurate basis because there is still no report on how much is the championship prize.

The highest that I've seen is $200,000 which is a tournament for the opening of the game, what more in the championship? As you can see in LoL's Worlds championship prize, it already reaches $2m, I think Riot games will do the same thing by making a lot of negotiations and sponsors. And besides, their mother company is Tencent games, they can easily make huge pot money.

<...> The important thing is, popular teams are already playing it and it's mainstream in different platforms.
Yeah, the top esports team know that there's potential in Valorant, it's just a matter of time now cuz you don't wanna end up like Apex Legends (showed some promise for a while but ended up being forgotten  Cheesy ) some major tournaments are starting to pop up (liquipedia has a few in A-tier here), so it's possible that in Q4 this year or Q1 next year we'll see the first S-tier tournament
Well, Apex Legends is kinda different from Valorant, it's a battle royale and all FPS players are still interested in the CS:GO type of match even it got launched and mainstreamed. I used to play Apex legends for 3 seasons, and obviously battle royale aren't suitable in betting platforms because it's hard to know who's gonna win if the drops on a certain area are RNG. Definitely, a good team will still lose if they have a fight with a gold armor team while wearing white armor. Anyways, many people are already thinking that Valorant is almost the same with CS:GO, I doubt it will have the same future with Apex Legends and besides, they have different game developers and I know that Riot Games will spend millions of money to make the game last longer as they did on the league.

Another thing is that Valorant is still a new game and one of the best way to keep your game for a long time is having a bind with the community. As CSGO have ways to tell what they want like making maps, Valorant don't have that. Well, Valorant in their first release have their bonds too but some players are worrying how the maps are so claustrophobic and not that well-made.

As I said, it is still a new game so obviously there will be a lot of development that will happen through time. Still, I don't see CSGO going down because of Valorant.
As I'm saying, it has a solid community right now and it doesn't need to wait for it to be popular because it is currently popular. The fact that ex-pro CSGO players are shifting into Valorant, the game is good and it will definitely build a good community because they have fans, and popular teams on the pro scene are also making teams at Valorant which definitely has massive supporters. I don't think that maps are so claustrophobic, i played it many times and already played competitive, it's easy to adapt to the environment 'cause I'm a real player of online games.  I didn't even mention that CS:GO will have downfall just because of Valorant, as a gamer, I still see them as a different game and there are plenty of people who still prefer CS:GO. What I'm pointing about is, Valorant has already those requirements.

Did you hear about shroud? King of the Reddit who's good at FPS games? There are many rumors that he's one of the lineups of C9 in Valorant. I hope there are no more excuses about having a good community 'cause if they're really fans of eSports, they know how influensive shroud is. And besides, there are many famous CS:GO players out there on the Valorant pro scene. Even it's just a rumor or lets assumes that it's not true, the community of Valorant was really huge right now so I don't get it why the game needs support, did they knew the capabilities and power of Riot Games, oh c'mon.
