What happened in these games yesterday? my bets seem to be stuck.

Winstrike vs FlytoMoon

Vitality vs Ence

Next to Ence it says PUSH  I have no idea what that means, never saw it before.

Bold part is the biggest problem, always trows my tips for few percent because i get too careful.

Good for you if you managed to adapt to paid tips that fast. I used to do free and paid tips for tennis and occasional football game long time ago but the pressure was not worth it. People expect a lot from you even when you are giving free tips and for paid ones they expect results immediately. If you have a few bad days, or weeks name calling and insults start very quickly. I remember a year which I ended with 10K Euro plus (started with 10K and ended a bit over 20K) and had to read trough insults half of that year. I usually have good and bed spells lasting even for about a month and in my experience people don't have enough discipline and bank to power trough that.

After that I decided no more dedicated tips, the money earned was nowhere near enough to cover the other part and it all start to feel like a work instead a pleasure.

Appreciate your free tips, especially ones that come with explanation, and hope you will do them in the future as well.

Rand is knowledgeable and on point, its not always easy but he is gifting you his knowledge.


From what I have seen he has hit a significant amount of nice bets. Definitely worth a follow.

^^ Yeah we had some tough weeks at start but I really liked how you opened up and took suggestion of members which is impressive and the first time I've seen coming from a tipster. Well yeah mistakes happen but at least you learned and got us out of the dark feeling we were having. Still I love your picks and specially your analysis and insights.

I might sub up again in the middle if its allowed, maybe in first week of June. (know its my loss but idc much about that)

RAND1919 VIP  

Hello everyone.

First of all, thank you for believing in me and showing so much support. This is the first time I've did something like this. It was a nice experience for me and i have learned a lot on the way. It wasn't easy like I thought it would be, and It gave me a lot of stress, since I wanted to make you all happy for the service you paid for.

May is over, and we finished in a minimum plus. Here are the results of my May VIP bets (down bellow on the image).

First 2 weeks were really hard for me, I didn't find the proper way to do it, and I do think I burned out with wrong betting strategy (mass bets, unreliable bets).  We were down like 30% in ROI at some point, and almost 30 units in minus. However, after listening to your advices and suggestions how to improve the service and bets, last 16 days were a blast. We had:

+ 20 Units
~ 65% win ratio

We manage to pull it off in the end and with 54% bet win ratio overall, we ended up 1 unit in plus at the end of the month.

Money and unit management is not easy, even if we have 50% win ratio, we must bet smart in order to profit at the end. And I want to continue that trend in June. I want to do smart bets, much smaller bet amounts and more quality bets.

I would understand if you are not interested anymore after that fiasco in first 2 weeks of May. I apologize to everyone because of that, mistakes happen, especially in the betting world. Nothing comes over night.

🚨But for those who want to continue, please PM me here in the next 2 days, so we can sort out the entry for June. Everyone else will be removed from the chat (thanks for supporting me during May).

[CS:GO] BLAST Premier Showdown EU betting ought to be a hot topic. It’s a real treat for CS:GO betting enthusiasts, especially with DreamHack Masters Spring entering its final stage. The European Showdown event kicks off on Monday, June 1st, and is set to last until Sunday, June 7th. The same goes for the American Showdown. BLAST Premier Showdown kicks off with two groups, five teams in each, followed by dynamic playoffs starting from the quarterfinals. There’s no winner here – two teams will share the first place. Keep in mind group stage matches are played in best of 1 series and ties are possible (15-15 for example). Let’s analyse some Monday matches:

Ninjas In Pyjamas - Astralis: Astralis, 1.62 @ MY BETSLIP
Vitality - ENCE: Vitality, 1.58 @ MY BETSLIP
Fnatic - MAD Lions: MAD Lions @ 2.03 MY BETSLIP

MATCH: ASTRALIS VS NIP
Date: Monday, June 1st @ 18:00 CEST

Both teams are currently in a very unstable phase as both squads changed players. Astralis is playing with Jugi and Snappi instead of gla1ve and Xyp9x as they are taking a leave. On the other side NiP has a new player too, Hampus. As this is best of 1 match, surprises are possible. I won’t analyse their previous matches and history, since for the first time we will see this new temporarily Astralis facing NiP who are struggling a lot lately. However, this NiP did beat solid ENCE in their last match. Can that give them confidence to approach this match and take a win. Possible, but I still believe in Astralis with Magisk, device and dupreeh. Odds are slightly favoured for Astralis, and Astralis is a slight favourite on most sportsbooks. But this is a very risky bet.

MATCH: VITALITY VS ENCE
Date: Monday, June 1st @ 15:30 CEST

In their last match few days ago, Vitality took dominant win over ENCE with clean 2-0 result. However, ENCE has some good showings before that and by taking a map off Astralis and beating NaVi and Copenhagen Flames they showed they are finally ready for something more again. If you ask me, Vitality are big favourites here again, and with ZywOo playing really well lately, they can surely do it. They are on 2 match winning streak, and they are better then ENCE on 5 out of 7 maps in the map pool. I’m afraid only of Allu, ENCE’s best player currently. If he shows up, he can do quite a mess on the server, and can be a big threat to Vitality. I think Vitality will take this match in the end. But let’s be careful as this is BO1 series and match can end up in a tie (due to the tournament’s rule set).

MATCH: FNATIC VS MAD LIONS
Date: Monday, June 1st @ 19:15 CEST

Fnatic is completely out of form and their in game play is disastrous, as well as individual plays. However, there is no doubt about their top quality. In their last 5 matches, they have won only against GODSENT with a close 2-1 result. They have 2-9 win-loss map ratio, which is pretty terrible if we know that they’ve played teams like Spirit and Movistar Riders, teams that should be way bellow their level. MAD Lions are actually a pretty decent Danish team, that can do a lot on the international scene. They showed pretty solid performance vs mousesports few days back, when they took the match with clean 2-0. Their players Bubzkji and sjuush are the best fraggers of the squad, and if they show a good individual performance, they can surely surprise very unstable fnatic currently. Very risky bet, but when I saw the odds, I had no doubt about it. At the end, this is BO1 and surprises will happen.

GL all! More bets on my spreadsheet! GOOGLE SPREADSHEET

[DOTA 2] While we are waiting for the ESL One Birmingham playoffs, here are 2 bets for today:

Team Unique - Khan: Team Unique -1.5, 1.75 @ MY BETSLIP
Team Empire Hope - OG Seed: OG Seed -1.5, 1.84 @ MY BETSLIP

Please go small, those are smaller tournaments, and handicap is very risky. Double risk.

Yes sir, those are the results of my bets. Usually I post betslips too, so you can open a betslip and see what did i bet on, if you don't understand such text and terms.

But Globb0 did make a pretty good explanation. Props to him!

Yes that is correct. ML is main line. If you see 1.5 or -1.5 they are then handicap bets. So in best of 3, -1.5 means they need to win 2-0 and with the +1.5 version they can win even if they lose 1-2.

I recommend reading Rands discussion pieces he explains his thoughts and logic. So much more than just bet x or bet y. eg how safe does he feel it is.

Also this is unpredictable market, even for the pro. Weird things happen. I suppose in some ways that's just  sport for you. There is not much room for recoveries in a 3 frame match of anything.

Good luck

I would like to ask if this Bold text is your bet?, I'm a fan of e-sports gambling too most of the time is in dota 2 or in csgo but sometimes I doubt on my bets it is a lot of help if someone guides me to my decisions too.

Congratz to both of you guys. Nice bets!

I didn't do any Dota 2 bets today, only CS:GO (2)

Enjoy your winnings! 

So bragging time? I did ok today as well in the end, but all games started poorly. Went with sure things from esports and coupled with one football. Took compLexity from rand but skipped on the other one since I didn't want to bet against forZe. Missed your DOTA picks today rand so I went with VPP & Viking.

Life got in the way so I didn't see any matches today. I still did ok. Thanks Rand for starting my education.

What happened here was Viking got a free win @ map 2 / game 2. Some of the sportsbooks do cancel such bets (on maps), and some not, that depends on them. If you ask me, all default losses / wins should be cancelled so we can have fair play in betting too. If you bet on full match result, this should be graded normally I guess.

We did a decent homework today, even tho the odds were lower.

✔compLexity - Gambit Youngsters: complexity ML, 1.36
✔Heroic - forZe: Heroic, 1.36

#CSGO 2/2. That's what we needed 

Me too but they never unlocked it on b365 its a bit hit and miss. I suppose they cant follow every game.

Yeahhh, totally unlucky. I also placed some bets on Unique in game 2 when doing live betting yesterday. It was a very confident bet after I saw their draft and performance.

And it could be a very good profit  .

I would suggest you read terms & conditions of the page you are using. If they don't have it covered you can write to support and demand your money. Those are the situations which all bookmakers can value differently. By common sense your tower bet should have been winning and other bets voided.

I had similar experience with wbet7. If one player forfeits during tennis match they count it as regular result while many other betting sites  count it as void bet. I complained and got my money back and they added the clause in T&C few days later.

Here is todays Dota games....




Look like plenty of entertainment for today. *edit*Oh but they are all on at conflicting times. FS.*/edit*

Good luck

I made a total of 3 bets on game 2 alone, which would've all won had the bookie acknowledged the decision of the admin. Unfortunately, they didn't recognize it. It was odd. As a matter of fact, even my bet on which team would bring down a tower first, which was won around 45 minutes before the game was finally decided to be a default in favor of Vikin.gg, was also voided. I was wondering why, because it didn't have anything to do with the overall outcome of the game.
