Ah I see. Thank you for that. Is there a way to follow results? Would you bet on them?

Tourny is streaming here, the SKT v TSM game is the last one of the night though iirc so won't be for several hours:

http://www.twitch.tv/riotgames

SKT1 is about to play the weakest team in the tourny by far thats several tiers below the other teams, think the odds are something like SKT1 -5000 or so vs them.

Edit: Looks like line on SKT1 v TSM has already moved at my book to SKT -287 so I'd def bet if you still get -250 or w/e. I have a bet on SKT at -243.

line ended up around SKT1 - 309

Game still going on but SKT are up 20-3 in kills and 20k gold at like 23m. They are just completely embarrassing TSM. The way this has looked SKT should have been more like -500. EDG is still -188 vs TSM tomorrow as of right now and AHQ is +188 vs them (just literally dropped from around +200) and I'll probably bet both of those too. TSM just looking awful.

Apparently SKT crushed them. Guess it went well. I'm going to have to look into this esport betting more

Are you using Bovada? What other bets should I place? I can't find anymore esport matches on it

I use Nitrogen.eu, its a bitcoin sportsbook. Can't use bovada in lolMaryland and can't use Pinnacle in lolUSA. So lol me.

I have EDG -248 v FNC and a smaller bet on ahq eSports Club +199 v TSM.

FNC is the #1 EU team and AHQ is the #1 Taiwanese team. FNC unexpectedly beat TSM but were themselves upset by AHQ. EDG (#1 China team) in turn were beaten by SKT1 but then beat down AHQ in their 2nd game. I see EDG as a similar "free money" play as SKT1 yesterday. EDG is not considered as strong as SKT1, but FNC in turn are not considered as good as TSM (despite upsetting them). Line looks to now be around EDG -287 or so.

I put a bet on AHQ +199 v TSM while they were beating FNC, as I expected it would move, and it looks like its now +147 at my book. AHQ has exceeded expectations, they were expected to be the 2nd worst team here, but beating a team that embarrassed TSM in their first game makes me pretty happy to get them at +199. TSM looked terrible in their 2 losses, and their lone victory over an outclassed Turkish team that doesn't belong in this tourny was uninspiring to say the least. While I still think they win this game, its close to a coinflip maybe 55/45 so really happy to get +199.

Thanks for the write up Nonfiction. I'm going to place a small bet on EDG winning vs FNC. I look forward to the match

EDIT: What do you think of SKT vs FNC? Should be easy win for SKT?

EDG just demolished FNC badly enough to instantly move the lines on SKT v FNC and EDG v TSM

just went from SKT -353 and EDG -221 to -493/-287, lol western teams.

Not sure if SKT is worth it at -493, EDG could still be worth it at -287 v TSM tho, going to wait to see how AHQ does vs TSM right here.

Those were some good picks Nonfiction, looks like you were right

Firing Gumiho -163 vs Marineking for Dreamhack, Marineking is not and has never been good at TvT and Gumiho's is competent for a Korean therefore Marineking should lose.

Gumiho at -215 just before game time which is closer to where I expected the line to be, gl us if anyone tailed

That went well, 3-0 win for Gumiho, game 1 was close, 2 semi close and 3 was easy

Taking Patience +146, I cap this one at closer to even money and i'm more of a True fan than a Patience fan

Oh god game 3... watch game 3. Loses by a drone one hit away from death due to not pulling back for a few extra seconds

Series did look like a flip despite losing, all came down to that game 3

Back to even for the day

Took Parting -420 but only to win a quarter unit vs Hyun, he got it done 3-1 and on Gumiho here at -120 vs True, going well so far

Don't see Parting losing in this tournament he'll be a huge fav vs Gumiho too or True if he can make a comeback

Had Gumiho > MatchFixKing, True > Patience, very small on Hyun +1,5 vs Parting because closing line went full ****** (close to +200 for +1,5 on Hyun).

Also took True > Gumi, but after seeing that he is clueless vs mech negated it with a map3 bet on Gumi.

Think Parting wins this 3-1, his PvT is pretty godlike.

I took Parting -1.5 vs Gumiho in the final, nervous moments but he held. When he was up 2-1 I had a breakeven hedge available and didn't take it as I was confident he had momentum

Ended up going 4-1 with bets to win 1.8u for the day overall (Gumiho twice and Parting twice win; Patience lost vs True); I have a feeling if Patience had micro'd his zealots slightly better in game 3 we'd have ended up with a 5-0 day

Hopefully Proleague lines are out soon

I live in Maryland also, do you know of a site that uses prepaid cards?

Smashed the Sbenu line at -252 against Prime for the max of to win 315 (3u and change). I think Sbenu should finish an average of 5th this round and are a dark horse to make the playoffs if any of the four big teams falter (CJ, Jinair, KT, SKT). Prime should go 1-6 or 0-7 to finish 8th

It moved the line to -292, lol, got a feeling my account might be flagged as sharp for esports

Edit: a few mins later it's -300

Seriously though I think the true line is closer to the -350 range

All of the other match lines seem sharpish; may be marginal value on CJ but the lineups arent super favourable for them

Fired the CJ -213 line to win a half unit as well; the Sbenu one is clear bet of the week though

There are 3-4 individual league matches I like but i'm going to stick more to team betting as those are the most +EV spots

Don't like either side @ current lines of Jinair/KT and SKT/MVP

Think Sbenu will be starting 1-0 almost always, unless Bomber will be cheesed out with roach/bane or something like that.

Other matchups though, Prime should have a decent shot. Its hard to say because i am not sure whats the current DRG shape. He played was pretty damn bad before he joined the Kespa team.

Also cant recall last time i saw Myungsik play PvT.

Jim v Hack is hard to call, both are bad.

Hack's not amazing but did 2-0 Jim recently and beat Trap in PL a while back. Myungsik's in excellent form, Yoda not so much. DRG/Creator is a flip, maybe lean Creator but barely

Agree BB's only chance is probably an all-in, I doubt he can macro against Bomber's parade push

Sbenu -420 now. Lots of steam on Bomber too; I fully expect him to win, but worth keeping an eye on. If it gets towards -750 or higher territory that's a massive red flag, -323 is pretty reasonable given BB is awful and Bomber is in decent form. It opened at like -195 from memory. I did nearly take that price though only reason I didn't is because I have so much on Sbenu as is. The Myungsik line is tempting too. DRG/Creator i'd probably lean Creator at current prices but the match is pretty flippy, and Creator's best recent win was against Soulkey when he was probably match fixing map 1 at least so that probably threw him off mentally for the rest of the series anyway.

I wonder who Sbenu will use in ace if it gets there; and I wonder if jjakji/mma will be on the bench today...

Sbenu got out to -420, back to -341 now, line is all over the place but i mean its still a 500 max bet and they seem to be moving it a lot.

I figure the true line is something like -350 to -400 so as long as it doesn't go absurd in either direction I won't get too worried. All sever esports line movement has me worried these days though lol

Bomber-Bboong line taken offline?

its been offline for about an hour on my end. same with sbenu/prime series price, and also yoda/myungsik line shot up huge compared to every other line basically sitting still. hope the fix isnt in
