i'm more worried about match fixing in a premier dota 2 league w/ $215k on the line (where books are taking much bigger bets) than a minor SC2 league w/ $3500 in total prizes.

1 of 2 bets came through and paid out more than 5:1. i'm gonna see if i can parlay this few mBTC into something on another 5-6 matches tonight.

what e-sports do you bet on?

It's my concern in e-sports all along (matchfixing) especially when you keep hearing about it. Here in Asia there are so many examples and stories, of course people who know they will never go to the big leagues, if someone offers them online a bit of money they are happy to take it. You don't even need to get your team to agree sometimes you just go rogue on your own.

Maybe you are right but I always think that top teams make enough money just by competing while lower tiers teams make money however they can.

isn't the Newbee case an example of the opposite?

Maybe it is, but I believe they got caught because a lot of people watches that matches and I guess somebody is controlling/overseeing them as well, while lower tiers game get less audience, control and money and therefore invite shady characters. I could be completely wrong that is just my hunch and small bit of experience from low tier tennis tournaments and our local low level football league.

Rest of the games I don't touch since I have a rule to bet only on the games I can watch live.

is that for the sake of integrity? do you do live betting?

It is for the sake of controlling my gambling addiction and maximizing my profits. I believe you have to watch the team regularly if you are placing large sums of money on them. They have to pass "my eye test". I play high stake and low stake ticket every day. My high stake ticket has a lot of self imposed rules like above mentioned + no odds lower than 1.4 + no betting on teams I support.... Low stake (~1$) can be anything I stumble upon and that one is just for fun. I sometimes do live betting but not so often.

Anyway, if you bet on underdogs you even have an edge if the game is fixed so then you don't care about that.

true, that's an angle i hadn't even considered!

anyway i'm just dipping my toes in---never been a huge bettor and pretty ignorant about e-sports. i am just surprised how long some of the odds are given what occur to me as relatively high variance matches. eg an underdog won > 1 in 3 past matches against the favorite but the book has him at almost 6:1.

I bet on DOTA 2 (OG screwed me very nice today, if they won I would have hit big) and CS:GO (Complexity came trough and kept me on positive 0 balance), sometimes on LoL as well. Rest of the games I don't touch since I have a rule to bet only on the games I can watch live.

But I have to say that watching football without any audience is really strange to watch.

It’s really subdued by there is still a lot riding on many of the games so they’re still super competitive. I’m jjst glad to have football back, I’m sure Steve of sportsbet.io is happy too, lots more to chat about & lots more profit for sportsbet.io Grin

The weird part about not having the fans there is not actually the sound of it, I feel like without their sound its a lot better, I can feel like I am actually there and hearing basically everything, hell sometimes you hear the kick to the ball and that is just amazing. However the look of no fans is a bit weird, don't get me wrong I would take this over fans any day, I know that without fans there they are not selling tickets and that is bad, however one thing is for sure, without them there the game is better sounding to me and looking bad at the same time.

Maybe if it was on some training pitch where the size is correct but there is no place for fans to sit, that would have been the perfect scenario. Now there is this huuuge ass stadium with 50k+ empty seats, and that looks a bit weird.

Good luck, if that shit ain't fixed I would be really surprised.

Not so long ago Newbie got a ban for match fixing and I think that is a league/team which much more renown.

Hertha won again last night, another high-scoring match, so I won the first leg of my Sportsbet Special parlays w00t w00t!

Over 12.5 goals and corners, which Hertha booked a bit over (10 corners 4 goals) so I'm pretty pleased with myself.

Now let's see if 10 teams can't score a goal a piece tonight to complete the Special parlay eh?

All Matches Total Goals Combined Over 16.5 @1.85

Looks like the Bundesliga Special today hasn't settled yet, so this means the Special actually didn't count 2. Bundesliga? I thought it would have settled thanks largely to the guys in 2. Bundesliga, who got ten goals between them! I should probably make sure to understand the games properly first before taking specials next time haha, expecting 3 goals in all games in 1. Bundesliga was a bit of a stretch maybe. First half of the big boys took a damn long time to start kicking, but every match found at least one goal, though.

My MM is a bit messed up too because of 2 draws and 2 wins I should have picked (Leverkusen and Hannover), but anyway, should be a pretty match coming up now. The way the media are talking down Frankfurt, surprised odds aren't 20/1!

First of all, if you want to play poker and you think this IS SPORTSBET, go play somewhere else that is purely poker? That is not how casinos work right? If you are providing something you need to provide it well enough. I am not saying the current one is bad but "this is sportsbook, if our poker is bad that is fine because we are not a poker place" is not really a way out of not really working on it at all.

Normally every single year there is summer and people do not gamble as much, sure there is euro cups and world cups and qualifiers so forth that eventually makes the summer a bit shorter plus the friendlies and exhibition cups and so forth that starts the season even earlier. So, there is literally zero reason not to improve the poker part, and there is always some sport going around the world all the time (before all this pandemic of course).

Chill brother. I don't think I was saying any of that, Sportsbet brought poker because there was demand. We even asked for a Steve special and we got it, so they'll definitely listen, and I'm sure all your comments have been brought on board.

And you're absolutely right, there's no reason not to improve. I don't think I ever said bad poker is fine, I think what I can get now at SB is fine, and would actually prefer seeing more improvements to their sportsbook first.

@figment: seems to me just a simple case that those lines are filled, bookies couldn't take anymore bets.

I know that there's no official announcement about this but I'm pretty sure that Sportsbet.io is making some improvements/planning some in the future behind the scenes. They always listen to their users especially if it is within their capacity. They've been improving many things in their website and many have users witnessed it in the past few months/years. They'll surely do that in their Poker page. We'll just have to wait for it. Wink

@bearexin: Nah I'm sure we'll get poker activity going on. I still want to participate, just that lockdown time has been extremely taxing on me, but mind you, if I do get my holiday in July (fingers crossed), I'm pokering a lot! In betwixt sports! Besides, what shall we do when football season takes a break? I'm fine with how Poker looks, it could be better but everyone has an opinion and once more, this IS Sportsbet!

Then it is probably problem with the bet itself. It is not available anymore or something like that.

i see, thanks.

the problem seems to have sorted itself out. for a while i wasn't able to place bets on seemingly any e-sports besides nba and football.

Max bet will put the max amount you are allowed to place on that choice and it isn't connected with your actual balance. For instance if that was a champions league match max bet would enter the amount of few BTC regardless of your account.

Only wait for confirm to wake up the Serie A and Premier League, then the next one will be waken up is UEFA's leagues (Champions league and Europa league). This weekend will be the second round of the Bundesliga since its resuming day. All looks good in Germany and Bundesliga. The next one will be resumed is La Liga. There are only 2 major leagues waiting to be resumed. Let help leagues all will be resumed by practicing your social distancing too. Don't forget that it is for your health, your loved ones' health and for football too

Yup, I'm hoping it all goes smoothly and every other league looks and realises that. Our boys at Watford look like they don't want to play though, and rightly so of course if they feel worried about getting infected. But I hope the other leagues play and show them it will be safe enough.

The Sun newspaper writes that now Ceballos has created a big problem because that information was supposed to remain secret Grin

Well he will create a big problem if it's true, because they will simply delay it by another week or so just to prove it wasn't leaked. By the way, the UK government said the earliest date to restart for ANY sport is July 1. So I don't think Ceballos can overrule that.

does anyone know why this bet might be getting rejected?

it keeps flashing "your balance is too low to make this bet" before showing "something went wrong". my balance should cover the bet and i've tried lower amounts as well.

when i press "max bet" it shows 0.
