Gen G. ML is my pick of the day. I found odds @2.20 at my local fiat bookie which sounds like a good value to me and that goes on high stake ticket with some German football.

From the rest of esports today I picked following but all those are for small stake
OG ML - had this one as VPP before but Rand analyses turned me around, should have skipped it now that I think about it
Viking ML - they started this tournament really impressive and I expect them to continue until they meet Secret Smiley
FaZe ML - fnatic just looked flat to me and Niko and Coldzera are having a good time and are able to take down anybody

The odds are almost even on ML and Over/Under, so going for anything other these options is a no brainer for me, In the other fixture I've got Team Spirit on ML.
pff, just wth are those odds?  Cheesy  I can't pick a winner so i'll just with the following:

CSGO
fnatic vs FaZe O2.5 @1,90 i'm expecting the 1 map winner to choke in map 2...that's my big brain analysis  
Gen.G ML @2.05
Dota
Vp.Prodigy ML @1.75
Natus Vincere vs Vikin Over 2.5 @1.90  

Though i'd probably bet again on GODSENT +1.5 (edit; GODSENT v Spirit 30th May, but why? huh)
Mir was having problems with a power outage in his city yesterday so they probably rescheduled the match hoping that nothing happens on the weekend.

Not bad rand, you're always more in winning. How much you made for all of these games in total?
Matches for this date, I'll wait what you will be picking. I guess it's easier to bet for today's matches base on the line up of teams. What do you think rand and everyone?

^ Do you remember what happened a couple of days ago in Group A? Astralis (FaZe) started with two wins, whereas G2 (Fnatic) lost their opener and nearly lost game two. The decisive match between the two, Astralis surprisingly fell short and lost. FaZe are the favorites according to the bookies, but i won't be surprised if they lose. Deja vu anyone? Though i'd probably bet again on GODSENT +1.5 (edit; GODSENT v Spirit 30th May, but why? huh)

Who's taking part in FJ Dreamhack promo, how many correct picks do you have? I'm currently trailing the leaders by two games, 93rd place. Cheesy

Tomorrow is the Veteran's Day, I'm so confused about which team to go with between fnatic and FaZe, both team are far from their usual/expected best, struggling a lot versus the underdogs.

The odds are almost even on ML and Over/Under, so going for anything other these options is a no brainer for me, In the other fixture I've got Team Spirit on ML.

since lower ranked teams get the first map pick afaik.


Good to know if thats the case, I had not noticed.     I think the Dreamhack maps are alot more exotic then I remember being regularly the case years previous.

shift my bets towards +1.5 backing dogs to win

I said similar, betting on 3 maps seems to be happening paying off more commonly.   The back and forth between teams right down to near tie or overtime seems to be higher, perhaps its due to online games not sure.    Both Faze and Spirit today had last minute stand-in players, the ongoing theme continues to be chaos.
   Another option, betting 2-1 scoreline and getting the winner correct can have much higher payoff and I think I did that after game start.  Always preferred the live type bet rather then being cut off prior to start.

I went with Spirit +1,5
I have Spirit handicap as well <...>
That's why i went with Trofo on Spirit +1.5 and GODSENT +1.5.
My other pick is: Godsent +1,5 @1.65
That was intense, but in the FaZe delivered for me  Smiley

@rand1919  Good luck, man!

FaZe weren't performed as expected yestetday if not more as per the squad rotation, but will they be able to see out Team Spirt who played brilliantly against fnatic ? I need some insights @Tomahawk
Just got back =) but i have Faze vs Spirit over 2.5 @1.90 they're in OT in map 2 right now but looks like there's some technical issues...FaZe with the hacks lol  Grin And it also looks like "mir" is fulll on carry mode :/  Clown Spirit, ffs!!!

My other pick is: Godsent +1,5 @1.65  
no Dota as i'm waiting for some Bundesliga action today (:

I think i will completely shift my bets towards +1.5 backing dogs to win, because O 2.5 and -1.5 has been very inconsistent for me thus far.
Like i said yesterday, online matches are a different challenge to a lot of teams, bottom tier teams have been stealing maps from the top tier teams, and it's mainly because of online.


Wow!  I'm pissed man, I saw these all too little too late with everyone backing Team Secret 1.5

It could have been a really easy ride for me, I already lost one decent parlay to FaZe to win the first map, and now the 2nd with just FaZe to go is in jeopardy too  Angry

EDIT:

That was intense, but in the FaZe delivered for me  Smiley I'd rather be more cautious with them next time :|

Did someone from Spirit's team crash (mir), the game is stuck at 15-14? (edit; they are back and playing)

I went with Spirit +1,5. I watched whole FaZe match yesterday and I wasn't impressed with their T side at all. They are just running as fast as possible and relaying on individual quality to come on top in the duels. It looks very good when it works but as soon as it stops working they continue on the same path without plan B. I am thinking Spirit will be able to capitalize on that with few free rounds which should be enough to at least win their own map pick.
I have Spirit handicap as well they look more reliable recently after the impressive form they had on road to rio while Faze's new roster could take time to mesh with their new player. Honestly they might even take this series 2-1 if they continue to perform well.

Where you fellas at ? Post some predictions. I'm locked on FaZe vs Team Spirit, the odds had jumped from the initial 1.4 isssh to above 1.60 Trap or Bluff ?
1.60 for the handicap is not bad, if you want higher odds betting on each map would be better since lower ranked teams get the first map pick afaik.

I still think FaZe would win the 3rd map, so I took them live -2.5 for the 3rd

EZ money  Cheesy

In other news, Bymas confirmed as player #5 in FaZe lineup. Now Faze fans have a reason to defend losing 0-2 today lol

The kid started very well. In the beginning of the map he played a bit on safe side but in the finishing rounds he let go and won maybe the most important round for FaZe. Anyway FaZe is 1:0 up and that was on their opponent map pick.

FaZe is really missing something on the tactical plan. Their plan when playing T side is only to run in the fight as fast as possible and hope to trade favorably.


3rd map underway, at both 6 - 0 and 10-5 lead, I thought FaZe were going to see the game through to 2 - 0 victory but God Sent kept rallying back and duly deserved to win the 2nd map, IMO..

I still think FaZe would win the 3rd map, so I took them live -2.5 for the 3rd

Yeah sad to see Olofmeister leaving for a break from CS. It is very hard to build up chemistry between the team members and olof have been so good in these past days playing with other members of Faze. He have been so much crucial in many matches for Faze. Can't say anymore since its his personal decision but the Faze with olof is something I wanted to continue.

Take another example of temporary leave taken by gla1ve (Astralis). I don't think the new man Jugi is as good as was gla1ve but still I think with time he will at point fit into the game style of Astralis.

Thus I think staying away from games where team had changed their members recently is the best thing to do. Its very risky.

Are all these little shits playing vidya games match-fixing or what? Sorry, but i'm hella mad right now  Angry
Bunch of bots, man... It's because of online matches. Some teams get used to it, some others don't. I think in terms of football, it would something like:

artificial pitch = online CS
normal pitch = LAN

"In fnatic losing, we trust"

Lol word!

Fnatic are the mousesports of group C, might as well lay an egg playing like this, finish 0-3...book it!

I had them O 2.5 parlayed with FaZe ml, another slip down the drain, unfortunately.

"In fnatic losing, we trust"



FaZe vs GodSent...godsent +1.5 @1.56 is free money, right? FaZe with the roster change is something to keep in mind.

Damn, you could have warned about that before I placed the bet. I thought I had a nice multi going on with Espada +1.5, Spirit +1,5 and FaZe ML.
I played the ticket on my mobile while waiting to get car tires to be exchanged from winter to summer ones and didn't know they substituted the player.

Hopefully, FaZe gets it 2:1 so we can all be happy.

Holy shit!

I've gone a lot in on FaZe, Damn!

I've got FaZe -2.5 for the 1st map and -1.5 total maps  Angry
