Phew, tons of games today. All BO1 so bet at your own risk. I may end up skipping most of the games because I will be busy today and will not be able to watch a ton of games.

----------

ESC vs Property

ESC is a better team than Property right now for sure, although they have had trouble closing out matches in the past and in the present. Yesterday, ESC played LGB to a close series, while LGB played Penta to a close series, and Penta completely destroyed Property. Using that chain logic, ESC should be able to take this one.

My bet: 1-2 max bets on ESC


-----------

LGB vs ESC/Property

If it is LGB vs ESC, betting small on ESC is definitely the right move. If it's LGB vs Property, I would bet high on LGB.


----------

Fnatic vs Titan

Fnatic has had a rough few days, playing with standins and losing to much lesser teams. Fnatic on LAN is a different monster though. At 62% odds, I see this as a great opportunity to drop a large bet on Fnatic and win some decent value against Titan, who Fnatic would normally have 75% odds against or so.

My bet: 200$ on Fnatic on 1 acc, or 400 on 2


----------

NiP vs LGB

I can't justify betting against NiP on LAN here, as they have looked like a Top3 team in the world. The odds are terrible to bet on NiP as well, so max bet at your own risk for a small-medium reward.

My bet: probably skip

---------

EnvyUs vs VP

VP looks hot and at 30% odds, I think I will have to go on them. EnvyUs is a top 3 team in the world, but they definitely don't look invincible, and VP is a tier 1 team capable of upsetting the best.

My bet: 150-200$ on VP

------

VP vs LGB

Don't see VP losing to LGB here unless they get crushed by EnvyUs right before and have poor momentum.

My bet: Depends on how VP plays against EnvyUs

---------

NiP vs Titan

I don't see NiP losing to Titan here. Titan's strongest maps, Dust2 and Inferno, are also NiP's strong maps. Only maps I could see Titan realistically winning here is Cache or Cobble or maybe Mirage.

My bet: Skipping or single max NiP

------

EnvyUs vs Fnatic

Really going to depend on how these two teams look individually beforehand. You'll have the opportunity to watch them play before you have to bet so it's really up to you where to bet - I can't really give you a suggestion here.

---------

LGB vs Titan

I will probably bet Titan here. Don't see them losing to LGB.

----------

Fnatic vs VP

Watch previous games then decide.

---------

NiP vs VP

High on NiP depending on odds.

--------

LGB vs Fnatic

Fnatic or skip.

-----

EnvyUs vs Titan

Titan's strong maps are also EnvyUs' strong maps. High EnvyUs or skip.

-----

NiP vs Fnatic

Terrible odds to bet on NiP on. Fnatic or skip unless Fnatic looks terrible in their earlier games.

-------

VP vs Titan

I have a feeling VP will beat Titan, as I believe they have a higher upside as a team.

-------

EnvyUs vs LGB

EnvyUs or skip.

Mythic vs Cloud 9

There are two Mythic vs Cloud9 games on lounge tonight and I honestly don't think it's worth betting small on mythic as Cloud9 is a team that is simply better and have looked decent lately other than getting crushed in the final of Clutchcon by Fnatic.

My bet: Max on C9, or skipping

---------

CLG vs A51

Minikerr is not playing for A51 and he is one of their better players. There's no way CLG lose this but the odds suck so I'm going to skip.

----------

SKDC vs Denial

SKDC tend to start off slow which is obviously bad in a BO1. Denial's Slemmy is currently taking a break so they have just lost their IGL. This looks like a trap game where betting either way could be the wrong move. Bet at your own risk.

My bet: 200$ on SKDC

Check6 vs GGWP

I've watched quite a few CIS rising games and I honestly can't tell which Russian teams are better than the others. They all seem to have amazing aim and it's really hard to tell which team is better. GGWP surprisingly beat Piter a couple days ago, while Check6 hasn't done anything remarkable, so I think these odds are pretty accurate.

My bet: Maybe 1 max on GGWP, or skip

-----------

LGB vs ESC

Call me a sucker, but I constantly believe in ESC even though they disappoint me pretty often. I think they are definitely underrated here at 33%.

My bet: 200$ on ESC


-----------

Penta vs Property

Penta has looked VERY strong lately. Nex is an insane fragger. Don't think property has what it takes to beat Penta.

My bet: Double max Penta

----------

Ination vs EQ

I don't know much about these teams other than Ination winning a few games a while ago. I've been told by a reliable source that this is a sure thing for Ination though.

My bet: triple max Ination

----------

Dignitas vs Orbit

Dignitas is definitely the stronger team here, teamwork wise and skill wise.

My bet: Double or triple max Dignitas if my skins aren't locked

-----------

VP vs PKD

PKD is very mediocre now after losing their best player (Nex) as well as Troubley. Don't think they can beat VP. Ignore the golden rule at your own risk.

My bet: Skip unless VP odds drop below 85

----------

Titan vs CW

This is a skip for me, as I believe both teams are inconsistent and can win.

Phew, lots of games today. Up 800 so far with that Fnatic upset (if only the odds stayed at 8% like when I put down my bet...

Mouz vs ESC

This would usually be a value bet on ESC here. Both teams can obviously beat each other. ESC just got 16:0'd by Navi though, but I wouldn't read TOO much into that as Navi is solid on Inferno while ESC basically never play it. Overpass can go either way so i'm going to bet on the underdog

My bet: small-medium on ESC

-------

Navi vs CW

I'm going to buy into the CW hype and bet small-medium on them here. Navi looked good against ESC on inferno, but obviously CW can win here and they have the odds for them.

My bet: small-medium on Navi

----------

PENTA vs Titan

No idea who's going to win this map as I haven't really watched either team play Overpass lately. Underdog or skip. Or bet on Titan if you're feeling risky and you believe in the KennyS + Apex show

----------

Sorry guys, exam block coming up so my posts here may be sporadic.

Fnatic vs CW

This is a terrible game to bet on. Fnatic has looked shaky lately, losing a map pretty convincingly to Kabum on LAN, while CW has looked great. The odds are not good enough for it to be worth maxing on Fnatic here. I think the smart bet is to go small-medium on CW.

My bet: small on CW

---------

LGB vs PUTA

PUTA has a couple recognizable names such as Colon who stood in for Dignitas once and was mediocre, and Tenzki. These guys are not pushovers by any means. LGB is a tier 2 team with a sponsorship, so you'd imagine that they practice on top of having solid player skill.

My bet: One or two max bets on LGB

-------------

Flipside vs Neophyte

No s1mple for Flipside, but they should still be a strong team as DavCost is a decent player. Neophyte has players from the Slovakian ESEC team, none of whom are really noticeable except for ZeRo who seemed to be a great fragger. Either way, I expect Flipside to win here.

My bet: Double max Flipside

-----------

Property vs FM

Property has a solid roster of players who have been around for a while. I'm not sure how FM's British squad will match up against other European CS teams, but most of the time I watch British teams they seem to lose.

My bet: Single or double max on Property

----------

Orbit vs Publicir

I don't know too much about these two teams, but it seems like the odds should not be as skewed as they are as Publicir has the potential to beat Orbit.

My bet: Small-medium on Publicir

--------

Navi vs ESC

Classic trap game, where ESC has the ability to beat Navi, and vice versa. Don't bet on the overdog here as it is not worth it.

My bet: Medium on ESC

-------

Fnatic vs GPlay

GPlay looked strong today, taking a map off EnvyUs, while Fnatic has looked shaky lately. Still, I think Fnatic will take it, so depending on the odds, I may max bet on Fnatic.

-----

Mouz vs ESC

I feel like ESC is definitely the stronger team here. Could go either way, but I will be betting high on ESC.
