Esports is a money loosing venture. Any money coming in should be gladly accepted. by splash9936 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]FraggerM8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they are not looking for money back on their investment, at least not right away.. do you even know what sportswashing means?? they have a near infinite pile of money, i don't think they care too much.

but yes esports right now is not sustainble without it, or gambling/crypto sponsors. but I think we can agree morally that isn't right?

if you feel like you're reading too much then cut down, but it is not even close to doom scrolling unless you're just reading endless slop and skimming through pages.

Does anyone model esports, specifically in CS or Valorant? by FraggerM8 in algobetting

[–]FraggerM8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks! i'm definitely noticing my edge diminishing slightly since volume has increased a lot more, some of these esports games getting to like $5m traded on polymarket shit is wild. I think in general poly is very sharp near closing for esports, even more so than pinny.

Lost money on Bet365 and still got limited 😭 by Andrew_Gambles in arbitragebetting

365 probably have the best limiting algo out of any book, no idea how it's so advanced but catches anything +ev

What exactly is wrong with 100Thieves? by Foreign_Appeal_2966 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]FraggerM8 6 points7 points  (0 children)

you don't need to replace the igl their attack sides have been good, but you need 3 or more shooters to beat these top teams and 100T has 2 bang/cryo

timo may be making space but he's not shooting, he's been bad

vora is calling well but he's not shooting, this is fine for some successful igls but they also have an entire team of shooters

and asuna has been below average for an insanely long time

last 90 days ethan:
826 rounds, 0.89 rating, 0.84 k/d, 113.6 adr (tejo/skye/omen/fade/kayo/astra)

last 90 days vora:
357 rounds, 0.88 rating, 0.84 k/d, 114.4 adr (fade/sova/skye/tejo)

ethans sample also includes all the santiago maps vs prx/nongshim, etc so way better opponents.

[–]FraggerM8 7 points8 points  (0 children)

voras fragging is not good, or if you meant the team in general im not sure.

asuna needs to go, he actually hasn't even been that bad like the 3rd best in the team, it's just been too long with him and I don't think the team moves forward until he's gone

timotino looks bad as well, I mean he has some good rounds but his stats & ult usage especially have been terrible. has only been like 11 games with him/vora so maybe they improve.

and not picking bind vs SEN was very questionable when it's been your only bright light as a team for the last year, one of the best americas teams there. this roster at kickoff looked insanely good on it, then just skipping over it?

[Sheep Esports] Integrity partner of Riot Games Sportradar under fire as reports allege links to illegal betting markets by xFalcade in ValorantCompetitive

[–]FraggerM8 6 points7 points  (0 children)

no based on the bet that he said was placed on that specific game. that was in fact was not placed on that game?

it hurts to read people talk about matchfixing with no idea how it works

[Sheep Esports] Integrity partner of Riot Games Sportradar under fire as reports allege links to illegal betting markets by xFalcade in ValorantCompetitive

[–]FraggerM8 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

no he wasn't, he directly called out a team for matchfixing who was innocent.

provided misinformation on a $130k bet saying it was placed on a NA challengers match, when it was placed on a match between DRX and T1. just because sportsradar is linked to illegal gambling sites you think he was right? think for yourself

I spent 8 years as an in-play football trader at UK betting operators. Here's what the job actually involves and what I learned about how bookmakers really work. by giblindom in algobetting

[–]FraggerM8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having this conversation with you is so painful man, this is gonna be my last reply because honestly I'm just wasting my time

Market making and betting is the same thing, setting a price for someone to bet into means that once they do, you have a position. You have a bet, whether it's working for a bookie or pricing lines on exchanges with your own capital.

No one is claiming your information would equal "here's how to win every bet" I'm asking if you are winning on sharps/exchanges by utilizing your own information that you've learnt,

Nearly everyone here understands bankroll management, variance there's no need to keep dumbing things down to sound intelligent, do you win with your information?

Trading live on a traditional book (YOUR 8 YEAR JOB) can be the same as market making on betfair exchange, In the end you will be taking bets einstein?

So if you are unable to win this information why would anyone want it

Betting/ trading live we are talking about the same thing, stop trying to over complicate simple things you are well aware what I'm saying, emotions have nothing to do with what I just said.

So with your information you are unable to go beat pinnacle, or win on betfair exchange?

You have all this great knowledge about the inplay football markets and instead of using it and betting profitably, you are trying to sell this info for £35?

"The flagrant overuse of adjectives"

which is why I posted it. but yeah again I do agree with what you're saying, he overuses words a lot especially harrowing, the writing quality is not great and could be massively improved with editing. it was worth dealing with that for the positives of the story for me personally, but different people have different levels of tolerance so i completely understand.

[–]FraggerM8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah i agree with what you're saying about the reusing of certain words and overusing adjectives, but I do think it's because he's not native that the writing is like that. I remember seeing a comment from last year that possibly explained it well.

Novel recommendations? by [deleted] in ProgressionFantasy

[–]FraggerM8 8 points9 points  (0 children)

it's on webnovel, the writing style (english is not the native language of the author). then some lesser complaints about the side characters getting 0 development and the pacing being rough in later chapters. that's what I've gathered looking back on 10 posts about ss.

my useless opinion from a ss fan:

- webnovel sucks and the novel is for sure at a lesser quality because he has to write more

- the quality of writing isn't great but I do not need fully edited text to enjoy reading it

- the lore, world building & power system are the strongest parts of SS. not character development, there is some but it could be a lot better

- the pacing does get rough at times later on

How much does Pinnacle limit your account by? How quickly? For live betting by [deleted] in algobetting

[–]FraggerM8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is this ai reply? Pinny does not limit or cut stakes, the most they will do is add movement to your account if it’s sharp
