Team Liquid were given an auto win and were 1-0 because of Nigma's internet issues, but the latter cameback with gunz blazing and absolutely dominated Liquid in game 2, wtf??

game 2 lasted a lot less than ESL one's commercials, just 13min Grin thank u, Team Earlygg https://i.ibb.co/ChVj1W1/earlygg.png

I hate that happening so much that I burdened myself with a rule that I will never play odds below 1.5 on my high stake ticket. over/under.
I don't usually go with 1.50 or below in my singles, it's just not a good long-term strategy, plus, there's no fun in going with 1.30 or 1.20 =P

Team Secret you mean  Cheesy

I had Team Secret ML in a 3-game parlay and honestly, I must thanks to the auto 1 Map win, Nigma could have won it, but it would have been such a big shame if ended losing the game despite the early advantage.

CSGO, There were no upsets in today's fixtures, that's why I prefer the BO3 games

Haha, I'm watching and witnessed this game. I can't believe that Puppey's gang have to call GG that early but it's them, pro players usually do this whenever they see a lot of errors and there's no chance for turning the tides in favor of them.
The early set for Game 3 was in favor of Nigma and it's still on going as I type this, W33 managed to dominate Nisha's morphling but it's morphling and can adopt any scenario and Nisha coped up. 20-6 is the score and the game is in favor of Team Secret, not yet finished but I don't think Miracle's spec will carry this game even if he goes full pack items.

I can't believe i took those miserable 1.17 odds to fill my parlay
Trying to boost those odds a little bit, huh? Been there, done that...And it stings when it doesn't go your way :/

I hate that happening so much that I burdened myself with a rule that I will never play odds below 1.5 on my high stake ticket. I try to avoid them completely and usually take a handicap on the opponents in that situations.

Still managed to lose a low stake ticket due to that match yesterday. My local bookie has a special offer of boosted odds if you have 6 games on your multi ticket and I had 5 choices yesterday and decided to add that game as well. Unfortunately, I can just play match lines BO1 CS games, no handicaps or over/under.

Two major upsets today (sAw, VP) + Triumph with the draw vs. Evil Geniuses, and here I am glad that i avoided ML. 3/3 in CS  Grin  EG vs Triumph was intense!

2morrow:
Dota
Nigma +1.5 @1.94 void
Alliance ML @1.82
CSGO
MIBR ML @1.72

I went with a single dota 2 game today and that was on Niqma ML @ 1.80
I never expected a 2-0 in this match, I thought we were going to go to a decisive third game.

Vitality ruined so many betslips with their loss against sAw. I can't believe i took those miserable 1.17 odds to fill my parlay, it hurts as the other two games finished as i anticipated (mous v MAD over 26.5 and Fnatic's win over Dignitas). At least there was another draw, 4th in four days for me.

Do you have any idea when a CS:GO best of 3 or 5 tournies will start ?

BLAST Premier playoffs are BO3, also DreamHack Masters (Playoffs phase) will start this Monday July 8th.

au revoir dear drawsCheesy

They made up for their shortcomings of yesterday, It's quite unfortunate that they couldn't allow Liquid win a map for you to win on your pick as well.

The way a team can come back during a map is great if live odds are possible, people really can jack the odds to one side and thats with even 1 map remaining.   It does test the faith in that team as an underdog in that moment but if like 2.95x odds pop up I see no reason not to risk some capital on a comeback.
I was talking to a guy the other day who does this shit for a living (betting in CSGO). He showed me some of his winnings and ROI in live bets in the last 3 weeks and the guy makes bank! I might give live betting a shot during the BLAST premier playoffs.

I parlayed Niqma ML and Team Secret -1.5 @ 1.50 for a total odds of 3x+
Shitty wednesday in Dota all around Sad

@Harko  a small break every once in a while is good, plus, we gotta take care of that bankroll, eh? football leagues are coming back very soon (:  oh, and the Blast Premier playoffs starts next friday and they'll be BO3.

Yeah right since Dream Hack ended I've not been placing bets per se, I don't bet on what I don't understand, Lol.

I parlayed Niqma ML and Team Secret -1.5 @ 1.50 for a total odds of 3x+

To be honest I knew Team Secret were due for a loss, and Alliance seemed like a capable to team, but I had quite a number of movements today so I wasn't able place the bets before the game started.

Interesting thing happened in the 3rd map of Secret - Aliance, the server crashed and we will have a repeat of the 3rd map. The teams were pretty even at that point with Aliance slightly ahead but Secret with better heroes for endgame so I guess it was fair but I feel Aliance lost more. If you are playing against Secret and leading I don't think you want to give them another chance to steam roll you.
Before the long pause happened during the third map Alliance were in a great position Secret's mid was struggling hard and their carry about to get the first item in a good timing.  I was able to get Alliance with 2.8 odds but unfortunately it got voided because of the match remake.

Someone mentioned earlier that draws are highly unlikely in BO1 games.
Welp, we had two draws so far in the first two days of Blast Premier Series, so i have 4 more picks for today (only skipped the first match).
Can Vitality get a third draw in a row? UNJINXED hah
Guess I was wrong. Cheesy

The CT economy is just too fragile it only takes one or two losses in a row for the other side to come back just like that.

<...> so I am just backing underdogs here and there and hope for upsets. <...>
Well, there was an upset today, Dignitas 16-8 vs. VPro. Idk what the odds were for DIG but some ppl made some nice profits today.

Well I got them around 2.4 if I am not mistaken. I already deleted the ticket so don't have it to check.

I think you have a typo in your last bet, I guess it should say over 26,5 since it is BO1 match.
Thx. Fixed!

I also have ENCE ML (v sAw) parlayed with NIP v ENCE O 26.5 and Fnatic v mousesports O 26.5 (total odds 4.28)

edit; ENCE survived somehow

picks!!
Dota
Nigma ML @2.10
CSGO
NiP - ENCE O26.5 @1.85
Fnatic - Mouze O2.5 @1.86

gonna cheer for Nigma today. i don't think i've lost whenever i back them so let's see if i can continue that winning streak. Fnatic and Mouz, again, just like in the Pro League season 11 final...please, no 16-1 in this match, ffs!

I am also on Nigma today, have a feeling they should win this one and odds are very nice.

Can't really wrap my head around this BO1 counter strike matches, so I am just backing underdogs here and there and hope for upsets. My local bookie doesn't have 1x2 markets so I can't hazard a guess on draw.

The absolute madman...HOW?? lolol  Grin btw, why not avoid draws in your accas and go for singles? you would've made huge profits with single bets.

You're never going to stop, are you ? I'm taking a break from these games until there is some real tournament again that doesn't have a draw option(best of 3 or 5 maps, idc).

Maybe I'll just tail a few bets on here or go fully in on dota 2 (I just don't like their odds most times)

@morvillz7z  where u at man? Did you win today? no way you also expected a draw today? =P

Sorry i was busy today, couldn't post/share my picks.
And there's not much to brag anyway, Vitality ML ruined my 3-team parlay (the other two selections went pretty smooth MAD and NIP's wins).
I would try to get on time tomorrow, i'm targeting ENCE's games cuz they really need those wins but against NIP it will be tough.

Damn, that Luna can destroy the base fast Smiley
things went south really fucking fast for Vikin, everything happened so fast, it was a bit frustrating to watch :/

They should've ended that game faster.
Yep, but still man, wth was Ember doing?? wth was that jump??  Lips sealed  (genuine question, i'm no Pro in Dota so idk exactly what Boom could've accomplished by doing that)

Viking had a very solid lead in that second map but FTM turned around quickly. They just needed one good fight and few seconds later it was all over.

Damn, that Luna can destroy the base fast Smiley

Too bad for Vikin.gg. Unfortunately, FTM draft was way better in the late-game than Vikin.gg draft and there was no way Vikin.gg could  win a late-game fight if its 5v5 fight.

Just look at all of Vikin.gg heroes when their BKB immunity ends, they can't do any shit. They should've ended that game faster.
