#88 world-ranked team vs. #172, this should be easy, right?

My sarcastic undertone was on point here, HONORIS just lost their game in three maps. I can tell this whole betting on no-name teams gonna be a real challenge.

I just hope i don't cripple my bankroll too much waiting for ESL One: Cologne next month. Bookies gonna take advantage of noobs like me trying to bet on Izako Boars vs. lvlUP Cheesy

Any thoughts about the Match Mythic vs ex-Polar Ace tonight?

Might go with the map handicap for Mythic, should be a free win for them in my eyes.

Sangal esports is a joke. Rebacked it without them in there.

Nine to Five #1 ongoing cs:go tournament. This is where i'm going to put my bets in the next 10 days, better than LoL and Dota (at least for me).

I recognize a few teams and they'll probably be the ones that i'll back throughout the tournament: sAw, Gambit, FATE, Hard Legion.

We also have the ESEA Advanced Season 34 Europe until mid July or so, but the only team i know here is Winstrike, although i would avoid backing them for the time being, they just had a roster change https://www.hltv.org/news/29953/hobbit-departs-winstrike kinda explains why they're not the favorites against a team ranked #66

I have backed it

I also recognise the level of risk and unknownedness.

I will probably keep an eye on it to cash out if it gets worth it.

The esports focused bookies (lootbet, buffbet, egb, ggbet, etc) were offering tons of lines pre-match for the two finals.

Thanks for the suggestions, i will definitely take a look at those...and maybe sign up at some point.

Spot on mate! Great one for me...

Nice! At least some of us were able to place their bets.

Most of the teams are a complete mystery to me, some i've never heard before, i have to step up my guessing game. Grin

Currently waiting on HONORIS ml (playing vs. Wizards) #88 world-ranked team vs. #172, this should be easy, right? haha

Failing hard all over the place.

This is looking good though

These games flop around so much I am finding some good in game hedges

Damn! forgot about the multi with CDEC and Vici and both teams won, ffs! =P

anyways, 3 fold with two LoL matches and one csgo: Giants + Movistar Riders + Triumph /all to win @3.38

hehe! i just noticed the bookies started offering a lot more lines for Rainbow Six tournaments lol they're totally "not" expecting the casuals csgo bettors to switch to R6, heh? Roll Eyes

btw, anyone here following the competitive Rainbow Six scene?

Got this beauty live too: https://i.imgur.com/phr47Wu.png

I'm probably going to focus more on football with the coming csgo break... Or probably just wait for the real deal NBA 🏀

I had much better percentages on DOTA games in these last few weeks.

We have a couple of games in Dota PIT tomorrow: EHOME - Vici, Invictus Gaming - CDEC. I'm thinking maybe a multi with both favorites to win.

Does anyone know why today there were no markets available to bet on except for moneylines? No overs, correct results etc, and it was not only on Sportsbet, i checked FJ and Stake...they had the ml markets only. So i couldn't place my bet and looking at EG sweeping Gen.G...it sucks.

yep, i saw that too. The esports focused bookies (lootbet, buffbet, egb, ggbet, etc) were offering tons of lines pre-match for the two finals. I've been using some of them for a while now and never had a problem like this.

Wow, so BiG took Vitality down 3-2? Too bad i couldn't watch the game, it was sorta interfering with our poker series time-wise.

Well, top tier high quality CSGO will take a break (a month i think), so i guess i'll focus on Dota and LoL...We'll still have some csgo matches, but would only bet beer money on those =P

Shit, i guess i will be tailing your picks guys as my other esports predictions are pretty trashy.

Better that they take a break, that way I can also take a break and stop loosing money on CS.

I had much better percentages on DOTA games in these last few weeks. I never got hooked on LoL betting. I did follow some tips here and there when there was nothing else to bet on with mixed success and even watched a few games but did not like it. I guess that is a bit strange to like DOTA and not LoL since they are quite similar.

I am imagining now what BIG will be feeling like right now. Coming down from lower bracket group and winning the grand finale against Vitality, damn Shocked

. <...>

Xantares was absolutely insane in this series. If i'm not mistaken, BIG were also a map down in that other final that they won against G2 a few weeks go...Impressive.

Yeah that was Dreamhack Masters Spring (EU) finals. That was another finals where they defeated the side who had a map advantage since advanced through upper bracket.

It was crazy with back to back CSGO games these last few months. They also needed a break anyway. ESL One Cologne is next in line in August. Cheesy

. I felt like Dust2 should have been it since Vitality are good on that but BIG totally took them down there. Dust2 25th round was the craziest round as BIG took them all out with pistols popping up headshots. Even the last round of the whole game on Mirage was the sick one as shox was able to get the last man of BIG but didn't had the kit and enough time to get the defuse. :/

Too bad that after a so great anticipation, I wouldn't be able to see Team Vitality vs BIG live, but I just so the lines and I went live for BIG to cause an upset ML @ 2.51, I went with morvilz7z over 3.5 heavily prematch though.

Anyone watching Vitality vs Big? crazy match going on. Right now its 1-1 (incl. advantage to Vitality). Next map is Dust2 which is a crazy map for Awpers. I am smelling something crazy from Zywoo in Dust2.

Watching the series right now, Vitality needs to close it in Dust 2 or else BIG would pull an upset here. I should've taken the odds when they're 50-50 but I doubted Vitality's power to bounce back since they got stomped hard on the first map and have less pressure now they've gained enough points to secure one of the top 3 slots for the major.

Ah okay, thanks. Already registered @ sportsbet but I'm still looking for an alternative.

I'd also recommend checking out stake if you miss the cashouts from sportsbet and you get some rewards for hitting their vip levels.

On Dota there's also a grand finals, VP about to pull a comeback after being down 2-0 against FlyToMoon currently 2-2.

@seek3r welcome back to the CSGO betting scene. Looking for bookies? I posted a bunch in the OP of this thread, but if I were to recommend one, it would be buff.bet, no shilling or sponsored stuff here lol they just offer good odds and a lot of markets in both pre match and inplay (not as many as gg.bet, tho)

I am, pretty good match as expected. Dust2 should be interesting. Oh, and I took Vitality ML @2.04 rigfht after they lost Mirage hehe...Come on, Vit!!!

Thanks! Might get some betting inspirations here but I will limit it to CSGO.

And yeah, my mistake... should pay more attention to the OP and read carefully in the future! Grin

I have a bet on Vitality so I am hoping for another classic Zywoo as well. They just took 3rd map so they are leading 2:1. Unfortunately, I can't watch the game since I am playing poker in about 5 minutes here with mates from the forum and I have just my small laptop screen with me on holiday.
