You can find a ton of esports topics here but bitcointalk people are not really a lot keen on esports that much, same goes for poker as well (both of which sportsbet has lol) so I think it would basically be a lot better if you could research stuff or at least be a part of the discussion in some other places. Look at reddit for example, during a cs:go match going on if you check the subreddit there is a topic with it and there is like thousands of people talking about just that much, we do not have thousands of people talking about the whole esports world here, well we do not even have thousands of people talking about bitcoin here neither but you get the point. Looking specifically to those games subreddits would get you a lot more information and discussion than you can ever get here.
I bet most of us even would not be interested if we had regular time like football and other sports. Since there are nothing much to get entertained so most of us are trying to find something from these games. I never played these sorts of game, never had interest actually. I have seen my mates, my nephews staying online hours after hours and talk to their mates while they are playing but all seemed to me very childish. But it seems this games industry is a billion dollar industry and there is a big sports fan base after doing some research in the last few days.

Talking about poker, a week ago I had no idea about it but now I guess I got a good hand in it.

@BitcoinGirl.Club  i'm watching Mouse vs Faze and for some odd reason, the stream quality is much smoother/better if i watch it from the website that you posted than from the actual Twitch website...weird. So, thank you so very much for the links  Grin

Does anyone know how long is a competitive CS:GO match?

Before the 11th game on the schedule between Dignitas and Immortals, i have 7 correct picks.

So just checked the results and it's not good anymore for me, 6 correct pick out of 12 finished games 🤣

mousesports came back after being down 0:1 to win 2:1 against FaZe Clan, they were also down in the 3rd map 12:10 but won 16:12.
Yesterday, I was watching this game and somehow I managed to understand that FaZe Clan were ahead and Looking at the record I was sure that they were going to win. Today I did not bother to watch any games yet but updating the results from my sportsbet betslip.

I guess favorites lose a lot in eSports Grin

I picked 14 favorites and 1 upset, started with 3/3 wins the first day but everything went sideways after that. I think I already have 4 or 5 wrong picks.

Is anyone watching that? Watching people play video games sounds really boring but considering there are simply no alternatives I might give it a go. What would you recommend?
Most of them did last week in the esl tournament 11 going on now.
Such as one match I bet on had the favorites at 1.07x but the other team won at 7.00x so it really is a toss up if a team is on fire and the better ones are having a lousy run of things.

what was your pick on dignitas immortals?



Dignitas were my 3rd dog, i've backed two more today, we'll see...currently sitting at 8 and 3.  Anyone with 8 9?

edit; kt rolster was another upset that i got correct, they just beat afreeca freecs 2-1. Hell yeah!!!

You never know, where you really stand and which games are already included - can't be that hard to always keep it up to date.

Agree, i think that's something they should work and improve on.

My anxiety levels are through the roof when i know i have more correct picks than they've marked on the leaderboard.  Roll Eyes Cheesy

I have 5 correct in that leaderboard but in actual have 7 correct picks right now.

Same here. I have no idea about esports and just clicked some favourites and mixed some dogs in, whose names I liked Cheesy The Leaderboard not updating correctly is annoying though, takes a lot of fun away. It was the same for the football Multi Masters. You never know, where you really stand and which games are already included - can't be that hard to always keep it up to date.

I also made picks in same way. 14 favs and 1 underdog. I nailed the underdog one but I have lost 4 favourite picks till now. And BTW there is still 4 left to play. Right now, I guess swogerino is up there on leaderboard with 6 picks correct. I have 5 correct in that leaderboard but in actual have 7 correct picks right now.

If you love a little bit of under dog then I think you should try but I would suggest starting with very low stakes that doesn't matters you much even if you lose. Also you have to watch their plays to get a hang of the team and the quality they play.

I am cutting on my sleep to watch the ECS Pro league at night right now. So far I am doing quite well.....but *yawn*... too much to invest (incl. time).

It could have been better if it wasn't for 100 Thieves miraculous comeback win over Solomid.

TSM had the a big lead from the get-go, the live odds minutes before the end of the game were 1.05 in their favor, but they lost. wtf Cheesy

At least FlyQuest picked up a win for me as my second dog (pre-match odds @2.00).

The leaderboard is updating so slow though, we might not get the winner's name until tuesday, guess grading LoL bets takes time.

Nice one with nailing with two underdogs. I on other hand , lost both the selections. I though saw 100 Thieves vs Team SoloMid one and they really went rushing into Solo Mid's line and swiped them all away. Great win from them and they truly deserve it.

5 matches to go.. 3 upsets already for me now and I am also sitting with 7 correct picks. On the leaderboard, I can easily identify two players from top 4 who are from bitcointalk.

Yeah morvillz7z, cs:go matches and any esports for that matter do get graded slower than regular sports.
I remember betting on another site where it would take between 15-25 minutes before the winning betslips were graded (they said could take up to 45 minutes sometimes but for only on the esports bets Undecided ) because of the oddsprovider doing the grading and this particular site could not grade the tickets themselves.
I was not sure if it was because of the different sites who gave the results were not updating properly or they just preferred to make their customers wait.
Have since left that site and havent regretted doing so since.
While other sites such as sportsbet and another one I have been using for my esports betting lately have drastically improved upon the speed of grading of these esport markets since then.

@BitcoinGirl.Club  I feel like CSGO is probably one of the easiest esports to get into, it takes some time to figure out wth is going on, but you'll eventually get it  Wink  

<...>
Started at 10 and ended at noon EST. So roughly two hours if they do run on all three maps including timeouts and pausing the game between 15 rounds per map.
That's a lot. Not like i don't have free time lately lol but still, i don't think i can sit through for two hours or more : P i was watching Faze vs Mouse today and switched to Netflix after the first game finished  Cheesy

mousesports came back after being down 0:1 to win 2:1 against FaZe Clan, they were also down in the 3rd map 12:10 but won 16:12.
I almost went with Over 2.5 in my single bet but ended up going with FaZe ML @1.81, same odds as o2.5  ):   Also, I just checked some stats and it looks like FaZe also lost on Dust 2 against Natus Vincere not too long ago, and in that match they also won the first map, but lost the following two :/

Anyone got the Origen (LoL) - MAD Lions (LoL) ; Schalke 04 (LoL) - Rogue (LoL) upsets?

I got the Origen vs MAD Lions one but lost the Schalke 04 vs Rogue.

I don't know but something tells me that more upsets are coming on soon. Hope that they aren't that bad for me to keep me off the chase.

I got a Schalke 04 upset. Just had a feeling for that one. Missed the other one though and now missed Mousesports game as well. That is already 2 wrong for me which is probably a bit too much at this stage.

Too bad, this was our chance to get the big prize. Football games have draw as possible outcome while these Esports have just 2 outcomes. That is much less possible permutations which means we had a better chance to win Smiley

I'm so glad that my first dog (so to speak, odds were fairly close here) made an epic comeback.

mousesports came back after being down 0:1 to win 2:1 against FaZe Clan, they were also down in the 3rd map 12:10 but won 16:12.

Mousesports are very good at Train and Dust2 map as I have seen and they are really good with their communication and is better than Faze atleast.

Check how they turned their match against Astralis in IEM Katowice 2019 Semifinals. They were so good. I had my money on Astralis but they really played a good one.

Does anyone know how long is a competitive CS:GO match?

That is probably because the twitch site has the chat troll box enabled when clicking on each of the streams. Where as the site just shows the feed and not the chat going on (those guys typing about 50 messages a second causes latency on the site if the feature is not disabled). Ive notice this on another site I use to check out all the livefeeds and scores for the matches going on and past ones from previous tournaments. Ive been betting on these cs:go matches since the summer of last year so think I have what it takes to predict a tournament winner. Cheesy

How long does a match go for? This morning the match between heavy favorites such as G2 sports(1.16x) took longer then it was sposse to with Tyloo(7.25x) Undecided

To be honest I have no clue about any of the teams and the games too. I tried to watch Origen vs MAD Lions match to figure out what it is all about I really have no clue. It's like the old days gameboy things LOL

Anyway, after these two live match I think I will have another wrong pick and another right pick.

thank you so very much for the links  Grin
