That's frustrating. Can't believe how they lost that one in the end. May have to red out here as this isn't a map they have done well on.

And ill back Skade on Skade Nordawind, and decide what to do after first map.
They won the last 3-4 times against norda on dust2 easily.

Playing CT or T on a map first is also important. I think its decided randomly. Do you have any clue ?
I think playing T you are the attacker, you can dictate the flow of the game. And if you do it well you can
get more than half of your point playing only attacker which is a huge advantage.

Yeah, there definitely seem to be advantages playing T over CT. I was distracted by a visitor. Heretics were winning nicely. I come back nd they have lost the last 6 rounds.

Heretics picked and they are 100% on their map. Layed Dignitas @ 2.16

Faze I'm monitoring. They could win 2-0 here easy enough but if the price goes out I'll look for a back.

Im also try to find some strageies on CS matches. Basically i do the same , wait for map pics and than decide what to do.
I feel that the map picker is often overpriced, so im trying do make some stats and find opportunities backing the map picker. Heretics won 78% of their map (maybe a bit less , but thats still enough imo) so ill back them.

Still messing around with. Very up and down but that's on me I think.

Ditching the prediction site now. Was nice to give me an introduction to what I was looking at but ultimately I don't always agree when looking at the stats and then it loses.

For Counter Strike there is a great little site called hltv.org. I've linked to it before but the matches are listed and when you click there are stats galore. I think a lot rests so very much on the map. Map aren't chosen until the beginning so it's worth holding off on any potential decision until these are in.

Starting in a few mins I like Heretic. They seem to have the advantage on way more maps and some quite massively! May just lay the opp from beginning.

Also Faze vs North. Faze a way better team but I'll look to see which map are picked and by who before backing or potentially laying them.

All gone very quiet after the finish of some big tournaments.`I draw the line at Dota 2. Liquidity is crap and I imagine that's because only the geeks have f*****g clue what's going on haha!!

Richard Latimer

The only game in Counter Strike where I can find a decent write up is for some reason not on betfair today. Nothing but Nicaraguan Football on the cards. Kill me now !!

The other crazy thing to note is that when a team loses the first round it's almost a complete swap on the odds. This in itself is to be expected. However, as soon as they make it 1-1 (if they do) the odds revert almost completely back to what they were at the start.

There is no allowance made for the fact the opposition have already won 1 map and therefore in theory are giving them a tougher match than expected.

If you got lucky you could ride out a complete swing on the first map and then do the exact same thing on the 2nd securing large green on each.

MiBR did take it. Laying them @ 1.66. Will assess at the halfway point but if Mad Lions cruising I'll ride it it out until they are not.

9-6 Mad Lions at the halfway point. I'll ride it out for now.

Again so volatile. Getting close to the end of the map and they are slugging it out. Stream behind and so I think is the score. Out of there with a further bit of green. Overall not a bad trade again.

Another 2 matchups today. Forum was down so couldn't post even if that was the plan but little by little I'm getting to grips.

First matchup was a back of the favourite Havu Gaming v Cloud9 but as they were favourites I was looking to back them in a number of drips. Only got the pre odds 1.61 matched and cashed out for 50% green which was ok in the circumstances.

Currently on is Mad Lions v MiBR

Tip was for over 2.5 maps so of course I laid the fave Mad Lions. Got 1.61 on the lay this time. Rode it out as MiBR stayed with and then started to take it away. Would have cashed out when they had 15 rounds and only needed 1 more but they started to let Mad Lions back in so took the level of green I had already decided would be minimum and cashed out.

Now waiting to see if MiBR hold on. If so i'll be laying them for 2nd map. Mad Lions have their map pick coming up where they have an 83% success rate.

This is where I'm getting my stats and live score from which is really starting to help.

This is where I'm watching

I'm taking small little profit at the moment but it's better than the big chunks I was losing and it's giving me a feel for what tends to happen.

@richard-latimer And where are you getting your live scores please?

google.

Type in team name and then score. You can usually get scores for most big games. if the odds are doing something strange I can usually look over and instantly I know why.
