These might be watching matches rather then betting opportunities.   I do want to watch the first match, I'll do a small bet on a 2-0 result but its a bit of a blind guess and I might add live during the game.    LDLC and Endpoint take a look if they lose the first map for better odds

I'm not in disagreement on the importance of teamwork, I do rate that maybe above all other things.   s1mple wasnt able to take Liquid to a victory after he came out of forced retirement to suddenly be a threat, he was amazing but his teamwork was diabolical and yet it was still nearly a thing.   Apparently he respects Navi and that is where he should stay then.   I'm just talking about the majority of people bet quickly on a game, I know myself Im rushed or distracted often.  I did suggest the s1mple threat situ on another reddit forum way back then and they down voted me till it was blocked, he was friends with hiko and they won previously while he was banned mainstream that was the somehow obscure info.
   I've won big odds this way as people piled onto the favourite, just somebody I know from Twitch who could have been top 10 but chose to study at Uni; he was in a game as a fill in and they won and the average punter just didnt have him on the radar.    I think smooya can stay polite for the first few games, awp is maybe the best play to be singularly effective and theres always a chance he mended his ways some.
   Anyway its just a maybe and if I dont post the link to come back to I'll miss their matches I guess

2/2. Good start of the #dota2 betting season  

✅ B8 - EXTREMUM: EXTREMUM ML
✅ No Pangolier - Winstrike: No Pangolier ML

If it is behavior that is the problem I think the team will definitely suffer. I do not know much about Smooya and this team that he is joining but I think that having other teams that are a little on the underdog side is a good betting scenario.

This isnt a prediction just news that one of the best AWP players Smooya is joining Movistar riders -Larsen.    I dont think this team is massively recognised, respected or with alot of supporters so maybe we have some upset potential here and good odds to bet.   I'm going to try and remember to take a look and an interest in the games hopefully, I dont see any listed just this moment.


If he is one of the best why not placed in a team roster already is a good question, bad temperament apparently.   Some of the best players have ended up lone wolves, s1mple being the most famous banned for 2 years.    The pro teams themselves know and will be trying to counter him no doubt I wouldn't argue otherwise so this is just about the odds and maybe an underdog bet or even live odds betting.

[DOTA 2] Tier 2 CIS teams are fighting for the ESL One CIS Online Season 1 upper division spot. 2 spots remained. Today, we will watch 2 interesting matches that will determine the future of those teams. Here are my picks and predictions for today's games.

B8 - EXTREMUM: EXTREMUM ML, 1.42 @ MY BETSLIP

This will be the first match between those two squads with their new lineups. Extremum is led by a veteran G. With 2 youngsters Nefrit and mellojul playing carry roles, they are looking very strong. Shachlo is doing very well on the position 3 too. Overall, very decent tier 2 CIS squad. They showed amazing performance in the last match vs HellRaisers. By beating them with a clean 2-0, they deserved a chance to play a deciding match vs B8 for the spot in the upper division. Let me remind you that HellRaisers gathered a pretty strong lineup this season with Cooman and Resolut1on. With that being said, Extremum deserves a lot more respect that they have now. On the other side, B8 led by Dendi, started this qualifiers on a good note. 2-0 vs Gambit, but 0-2 vs NoTechies in the next round showed that they are pretty unstable still and that they have communication issues. 3 Brazilian players, 1 German and 1 Ukranian is a weird mix. I don’t see a bright future for that squad either. This can potentially be a close match between those two teams, but I’m kinda leaning towards Extremum. Extremum ML bet is my advice or Over 2.5 maps if you want higher odds. Both bets are very interesting.

No Pangolier - Winstrike: No Pangolier, 1.53 @ MY BETSLIP

This can potentially be a very interesting match. Both fully CIS squads and we know matches with those kind of aggressive CIS squads usually end up in a bloodbath. This will be a very close match, maybe even closer than many people expect, but can go either way I think. Winstrike doesn’t have any explosive names in the lineup, but they know and they can play good when all things align for them. On the other side, NoPangolier is full of known names from the CIS scene, but they failed to beat not very strong Team Empire in my opinion. 2-0 vs strong HellRaisers on the paper, but 0-2 vs Empire makes me wonder what is affecting their performance and what can affect their performance today vs Winstrike that should be weaker team on the paper. Winstrike lost to NoTechies but they have beat Gambit with 2-0 in the round 1 of the lower bracket. This match decides who will be the last team to qualify for the upper division. Highly risk match, regarding bets and regarding ingame stakes for both teams. I tend to believe NoPangolier are a slightly better squad right now, and if the draft goes good for them, they can surely take this series.

Yeah it's definitely one of my favourite threads here Everybody can post his recommendations and we might profit from each other. Even if you don't have time anymore to do your own research you can still rely on your fellow gamblers. And if you actually win big over time, you just go and  Tip the user from the forum for his good work.

Just another drama on the SEA region.

Cignal Ultra's pos 1, Abat posted on his FB page that he's looking for a team while his team is in the midst of the lower division.

CU forfeited their match.

[DOTA 2] Dota 2 is hitting hard already. Less than 10 days in 2021, and we are already seeing a bunch of DPC qualifiers in the different regions. Today we are following decider tournaments in two regions, CIS and Europe. Here are my picks and predictions.

HellRaisers - EXTREMUM: HellRaisers ML, 1.31 @ MY BETSLIP

HellRaisers managed to round up a pretty scary Dota 2 roster. With players like Cooman and Resolut1on, they are looking pretty good on paper. However, in their first series in this Deciders Tournament for Upper Division of DPC CIS, they suffered 1st loss. 0-2 vs No Pangolier surprised everyone. This time they are facing Extremum, who suffered 1-2 loss vs Empire in the round 1 of the upper bracket. This match means that loser is going home and won’t be able to qualify for the upper division of the tournament. I give a big advantage here to HellRaisers, even though they played pretty bad in the first series.

Winstrike - Gambit: Gambit ML, 1.47 @ MY BETSLIP

This must be Gambit’s win right? I do believe so, as they gathered a pretty interesting squad for this DPC season. Winstrike lost to NoTechies with 0-2 in the round 1, and Gambit was surprisingly demolished by the completely new B8. This year and this new Dota 2 season started pretty interestingly. Gambit has a higher chance here for sure, at least on the paper, but let's be careful placing bets in the first matches of the new year. I fancy Gambit here, with their experienced players they should be able to take down unproven Winstrike.

Vikin.gg vs Chicken Fighters: Chicken Fighters 1.5, 1.87 @ MY BETSLIP

Those two teams faced each other a lot of times in the last year. However, this is something different now. Vikin.gg was pretty good at the end of the last year, beating some top tier teams and taking away some trophies. Chicken Fighters are the remains of the ex Ninjas in Pyjamas team. Joined by Xibbe and Chessie they are looking to make a mess in the tier 2 EU Dota. I do believe they have a decent lineup and they will surely make a few surprises on the way. It will be interesting to see if they will be persistent enough in that way. Vikin.gg ML is a ok-ish bet here, if you can find the good odds closer to 1.30. However, if you love adrenaline and risk, Chicken Fighters +1.5 handicap is a good way to go. Good luck.

Mudgolems - Alliance: Alliance ML, 1.32 @ MY BETSLIP

David vs Goliath here? I suppose so, but let’s give some credits to Mudgolems. They’ve done their work in the round 1. They’ve beaten Brame with 2-1 in the round 1. Let me remind you that they’ve entered 2021 with 2 new players. Instead of Boranija and Milan, Biver and Nine joined forces with Fata’s squad. Pretty interesting choice, however I don’t see them do anything significant in the EU scene. Alliance are heavy favourites here and those are pretty decent odds on their overall win here. Take it.

Ohh, now I can get a better idea on what really happened. Thanks!

I also recently saw PPD creating another stack aside from SADBOYS? He is currently looking for players that will play for Positions 1,2, and 5 (his position) and maybe he will transition in a position for or even a coach.

EG's lineup right now is so stacked but I do not really like Fly on that team. Iceiceice is one of the most consistent offlane and he really got the synergy with Arteezy (I think).

All tips in this thread are free, and when the esports season is I post them on daily basis. Tips, odds + sometimes analysis. Everybody can follow this forum and be updated about my free daily picks and matches (Dota 2, CS:GO mostly).


Well I see your point, but NA Dota 2 scene is not so good. There are barely any professional organiazions there in Dota. Actually, Evil Geniuses is the only professional Dota 2 organization in the NA; organization that supports the players full time. All other teams are stacks of players playing together and trying to win some tournament money or hoping to get picked by some organization. 4Zoomers, Quincy Crew and Evil Geniuses are most acomplished organizations in NA Dota in 2020, and its logical that they were invited, even if EG didn't play a lot of matches in the last months. There is not other choice, there are not any bigger and better teams that could replace them anyway.

Esports is slowly going back to it's usual days and I'm so excited to bet & watch tier 1 matches, but for this week we have a lot of closed qualifier matches which certainly have some value.

[DOTA 2] My bets for today were:

EXTREMUM - Empire: EXTREMUM ML, 1.55 @ MY BETSLIP
HellRaisers - No Pangolier: No Pangolier 1.5, 1.88 @ MY BETSLIP
B8 - Gambit: B8 1.5, 2.22 @ MY BETSLIP
NoTechies - Winstrike: Winstrike 1.5, 1.56 @ MY BETSLIP

Valve always picks the top teams that they think deserve a direct invite.

And by looking at all regions direct invites, all of them deserves to be at it. I think Valve did it correctly having with those direct invites for most of the 4 deserving teams. Because it's a secured money and DPC for those teams that will end up with a good standing at the end of this season 1.

There is no need to wonder about Valves direct invites pick, EG is a TI winner team and a tier 1 team so direct inviting this surely won't be questioned by anyone. Sadboys and 4Zoomers even having a bad win rate last December happen to get direct invites maybe you are right Valve have no choice left and they are the top candidates from the NA region so they just give the slots to them, nonetheless both teams are in the top 40 right now so we can't say its a bad decision from Valve and both teams are composed of experienced players.

EG is a tier 1 team and most of the invites have a history in the past tournaments and deserve to get an invite. In the case of Sadboys, the team was composed of players that have been in the scene.

It even made a TI winner's retirement end and got back in the scene so that's considerable, and that guy is ppd. The 4 players are really good while having someone unknown as their mid player.

Another thing in NA is that there's not that much pro teams.

DOTA 2!

Anybody wondering how the Dota Pro Circuit invited the teams that only qualify at Division 1? Most teams in Europe are reasonable for the invites but the NA region got the most controversial invites. Not flaming NA but its quite weird that EG even got invited WITHOUT PLAYING ANY GAMES and having their team completely idle with the recent events. Another team is SADBOYS which is also weird but I guess one reason was those teams were the most stacked so they got no choice but to invite it?

Valve won't allow an online tournament for TI. It's a huge prize pool tournament and even with security, there is a chance that some team might compromise the tournament and cheat and that's what Valve is avoiding.

Don't worry, with certain protocols being followed, with tests and results, there will be a LAN tournament but only limited for players and staffs.

The following have been permanently banned from participating in Valve events as of Jan 1, 2021.
- Teams: Newbee
- Players: Moogy, AQ, Wizard, Waixi, Faith
- Reason for Ban: Match Fixing

This could still be appealed. remember Solo's 322 throw? He was permanently banned from Starladder but an appeal made it that he will only be banned for some years, but considering that this is a Chinese team and Valve never wanting to host another big event in China, I think that this one will be a rough one.

Happy new year to all the follow gamblers. I am glad we have such a great community here.

Intel Extreme Masters Katowice 2021 is already around the corner. Let's hope we can make some nice profit here again.

My big bets for 2021 are definitely going to be on Astralis again.

Since the DPC season is now starting I would like to ask your opinion guys.
Is there really a chance that we might to have The International this year specially with the new strain of COVID spreading?
Do you think Valve can make the TI an online tournament? I miss watching TI games.
