    E-sport

    Hi guys,

    I'm a starcraft player in the South East Asian region and I know some of the players playing in the Starcraft games which are available to bet on pinnacle under e-sports. I do game against some of these players so I believe I have good knowledge about the games available to bet on. As the maximum is capped at 240.60 in most cases, the odds change the moment I bet maximum, so if you see different odds you know why

    Just wanted to share. Good luck.

    Pomi vs Targa (+1.5) for Match. 1.575 3u
    Pomi vs Targa for Match. 2.71 1u


    HASUOBS vs Targa (+1.5) for Match. 1.667 3u
    HASUOBS vs Targa for Match. 2.950 1u

    HASUOBS vs Targa (+1.5) for Match. 1.667 3u win
    HASUOBS vs Targa for Match. 2.950 1u
    win

    2-2 = +0.95 units.


    MMA (-1.5) vs Pomi for Match. 1.633 5u

    MMA is a korean GSL champion, kind of equivalent to a NBA championship ring. Pomi is not someone well known from a foreign country. Korea is by far superior in terms of skill and server game play. Nerves + a large lack of skill will make the game one sided.

    Amateur versus a pro gamer.

    Really hoping they put the next game up for betting; Hasuobs vs Pomi. Will pound Hasuobs; Pomi is known for being extremely incapable of this matchup.

    Haha finally somebody in! I am actually one of the top players in SEA, so I verse a lot of these gamers! With Targa I spoke with him earlier, unfortunately with game 1 he had a case of bad nerves (first real stage performance). They didn't have the one I wanted to pound -_-.

    Hero (-1.5) vs qxc for Match. 1.588 2u
    Feast vs Hero (-1.5) for Match. 1.806 2u

    Hero is also a pro gamer from Korea. Qxc use to be good but has slumped out due to focus on studies and has not participated in any main tournaments in a while. Hero is obviously better than both players, and usually wins easily in group rounds of any tournament. However he hasn't shown the most consistent results (vs other Korean pro gamers) which makes me a little hesitant to bet too much on this. But I am sure out of his 3 games he will win 2-0 in at least 1 and more than likely 2, and these 2 players are the lesser of skilled than dimaga who is a decent foreigner. Don't bet too much on these ones, I am not as confident as my other plays!

    Adding another 2u on Feast vs Hero (-1.5) for Match. 1.714 are the new odds. Just checked his Protoss vs protoss records and he cannot beat mediocre players outside of Korea. Though the matchup is quite volatile, I think the fact that he is vsing a pro gamer will definitely create a mental edge for Hero.

    Edit: Also P v P is Hero's best match up.

    DIMAGA (+1.5) vs Hero for Match. 1.735 0.5u

    I think Dimaga actually will take a game off Hero as it is Hero's first game and though Hero is better he isn't THAT much better. Dimaga with all the fans behind him might cause some trouble for Hero. Going to sleep whilst watching this game so it will be my last bet.

    I really believe I will win in Starcraft 2. I also bet NBA but my knowledge isn't complete and deep, and in the long run I usually lose. E-sports is relatively new and Pinnacle only just started offering due to popular demand. In this rare case I truly think that I know more than them in non GSL matches (foreign tournaments). Furthermore the low betting maximums show the lack of knowledge Pinnacle has. I do sometimes play against the GSL Korean players but once again I don't have the complete knowledge that I will like. Anyhow I will let you know when I am very sure of a play! Good luck.

    This is not showing the right game at the moment but I think in approximately within the hour the next group games will be shown.

    Pinnacle has even added live betting for the finals

    I know the Koreans make some serious money from gaming so not surprised it's made it to the sportsbooks - the limits there by the way are not just a reflection of Pinnacle's knowledge but also relative to the incentives to fix a match.

    BOL with your plays, I'll bet on anything so if you think you have an edge here I'll throw a few lobsters at it.

    Yeah I'll let you know of some plays I am pretty confident in. There are times when I beat a certain player on ladder servers and when I see them vsing somebody much better than I am I pound the better player.

    4-4 = -1.15u

    Hero gets knocked out in an upset. Will never bet on a inconsistent player again.

    Much better card today.

    DIMAGA (-1.5) vs Pomi for Match. 1.787 1u
    WhiteRa (+2.5) vs Kas for Match. 1.35 2u
    Feast vs MMA (-1.5) for Match. 1.317 4u

    This round is bo5. Hoping I will go 3 for 3 today with all my bets. Confident that two will hit, and I would say the Dimaga or WhiteRa bet has more possibility of losing than the MMA bet.

    MMA (-1.5) vs Zenio for Match. 1.649

    MMA will smash Zenio. 2-0 previously in the GSL? Zenio hasn't looked impressive in any games. 10u
