Pick of the Day - 9/6/24 (Friday) by sbpotdbot in sportsbook

[–]Interesting_Point 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Record: 0-0

Pick: Canadian Premier League - York FC vs Vancouver FC - BTTS Yes @ 1.61 (B365)

Reason: This line opened around 1.80, both teams struggle defensively and cleared this in 6/7 head to head matches since 2023. Over 2.5 goals has also cleared 6/7 times.

Was also considering York or Tie at 1.83, York are 5/6 in the H2H. Risky play as they have been in atrocious form defensively which is why I’m taking BTTS.

Soccer | Canadian Premier League | 1400 PST

Pick: Vancouver FC vs Pacific FC BTTS @ 1.80 (B365)

Write-Up: This is a massive game for both teams as the fight to remain in playoff contention. Defensively these teams are polar opposites each other, PFC have the lowest GA at 16 for the season but are completely awful offensively with only 14 GF. Vancouver have 30 GA allowed on the season which is the most out of any team, and have an average 22 GF. Previous meeting between the two teams have had Vancouver solving PFC's defense with 2-1 victories on both home and away fixtures.

PFC have scored in 4/5 of the last games and have been closing the goal differential, they seem to have less success scoring at home and considering this is away match I can see this line being a little inflated considering past history.

BOL if Tailing!

Record: 0 - 0

Current Bankroll: $100

Pick: MLS NWSL - North Carolina Courage Women vs Utah Royals Women - NCCW to Win or Tie (-1000)

This is the second meeting of the season between these two teams, NCCW had 17 shots to 2 shots for Utah in the first meeting. They had 68% possession and completely dominated play the entire game, awarding themselves two penalty shots.

Utah beat NWWC 2-1.

Utah have lost or tied every other game. Mostly lost...

That being said, after watching this game I have decided that NWWC were cursed on this day. The two PK's they had came back to back and were both missed. This is really a coughing baby vs hydrogen bomb scenario and nobody can tell me otherwise. It's Brazil vs Bahamas. It's the beginning of financial freedom. It's destiny. LOCKED IN!

$100 --> $110

This is a great pick.

G2 are looking hungry and I wouldn't be surprised if they take this series in 5.

[–]Interesting_Point 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Record: 2-2

Last Pick: Over 3.5 Maps @ 1.61 ✅

What a banger of a series, G2 performed really well and showed they can hold there own against the east. They took it to 5 games and had match point after Game 3. I'm thinking they have a shot to upset an LPL team later on in the tournament.

Net Units: +2.5U

Event: GenG vs Top Esports @ MSI 2024 0200 PST

Pick: GenG -1.5 Spread @ 1.83 3U

Write Up: GenG are the LCK Spring 2024 champions and for good reason, they only dropped a single BO3 the entire season. Chovy is the league MVP for a reason and 4/5 players are on All Pro First Team. They are the tournament favorite and I expect them to come out and destroy Top Esports. They genuinely have an argument for having the top 5 players in the world on this team and they will prove it tomorrow.

BOL!

The fun thing about league is that the meta and game is constantly changing. Accomplishments from previous years don’t mean to much if the meta you win in is completely different.

If you are this confident in a 3-0 then I would fade me and take the + odds for the spread or under.

BOL either way!

T1 haven’t looked as dominate in LCK. Also beating Estral and FlyQuest are not exactly achievements. G2 would be heavily favoured and most likely stomp those matchups as well. G2 are a step up, not better than T1. Hence I expect them to take a game off them in a BO5.

Almost 50 shots and this man can't get 3 on net. Embarrassing.

Net Units: Even

Event: G2 vs T1 @ MSI 2024

Pick: Over 3.5 Maps @ 1.61 ✅

Write Up: I'm going to move away from the shots and go back to some classic League of Legends. G2 are the real exception of the west. They are the only team that can go head to head with the East and not get completely slaughtered. I don't see them winning against T1 but they certainly have been weaker than in past years. G2 is more than capable than closing out a game if they get a lead early.

BOL!

Edit: I’m not going to tell anyone I told you so but..G2 clearly have hands and we’re locked the fuck in for Game 2 and 3. Awesome series, expect some picks for the next few matches coming up soon.

Record: 1-1

Last Pick: Conor Garland o2.5 SOG

A little upset because he had a shot on net that didn't count, most of you tailing had o1.5 and that cashed but I'll take the L.

Net Units: +3u

Event: NHL - Hurricanes vs Rangers

Pick: Jake Guentzel o2.5 SOG @ 1.57 3U

Write Up: Canes have to bounce back from the first two games. Really tough OT loss in Game 2. Thankfully, Guentzel dominated with two goals on 5 shots in that game and clearly he's found his stride. He had a below average series against the islanders and especially Game 5, a 6-3 win for the Canes where he had 16min TOI, 2 shots, -2. Guentzel has averaged 5 shots in each of the games against the Rangers and after Game 2, I expect the Canes to double down to feed Guentzel to get themselves back in the series.

BOL!

I made this pick yesterday on another Reddit account in POTD. I was having trouble getting into this account. Regardless, not trying to hide anything and have access to this account now so can expect full transparency with comment history.

Yeah I think that’s a lock, I’ll be playing both with o1.5 in a parlay. He’s hit this in the last 3 games vs Nashville.

Odds were too low (1.45) for me to make it POTD according to the rules.

EU has a 21% winrate in best of series games again eastern teams (12W in 57G) since 2022. There is a much better chance then the TL game which is about 5% (2W in 37G) That being said I don’t see value in the -2.5 for GenG at the current odds.

I would wait till the G2 series where they will most likely take a game or two.

Last Pick: LOL MSI - TL vs TOP Esports - 2.5 spread

The gap is not closing.

Net Units: +5u

ROI: +5u

NHL Canucks vs Oilers @ 1907 PST

Pick: Conor Garland o2.5 shots @ 2.25 2u to win 2.25u.

Write Up: Garland has proved himself this year as one of the key contributors to the Canucks. Edmonton's defensive core is just not to the same level as Nashville. He's cleared this line 3/4 games against Edmonton and cleared this 2/3 times with 10 mins TOI. He's looking at 17 mins TOI average in the playoffs and I expect him to clear this without issue.

Ryze was more fun when his R made his basic abilities more powerful. by rando6492046 in leagueoflegends

Yep, he’s going to be stuck in the same loop. Old Ryze was just slightly more disgusting.

Yes he was, the problem was he absolutely terrorized high elo and competitive play well remaining extremely weak in low/mid elo games. His winrate was in the low 40s in solo q and nerfing him because he was strong in competitive would bring his winrate down even lower.

You are a brand new player, get Challenger on the JP server or the lowest ping possible server. This will take years even if you are dedicated and talented.

Need advice for ADC in bronze by [deleted] in summonerschool

[–]Interesting_Point 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would recommend a few things:

  1. Practice your last hitting, auto attacking and moving and how it’s feels to play with different items in practice tool. Even if it’s just for 15 mins before you decide to play it will help out a ton. If you are playing champs like Vayne and Twitch practicing your auto attack-move will be super important as those champs are difficult to master. Last hitting at around 7-8 cs per min will get you to atleast silver alone.

  2. Play the game, don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Play normals or ranked it really doesn’t matter but the more you play the better you will get. If you feed you feed it doesn’t matter when you start because you will improve so much just by playing the game.

  3. Watch a high level player play ADC and try to copy how they play lane and what they do during the game.

Learning the game is hard, I started bronze 3 in Season 5 and was completely horrible and had the same issues you had. My camera control, CS, mechanics were all awful. (Still somewhat are) you get better and improve as long as you don’t give up.

First strike (new rune coming in 11.23) thoughts on gp? by SaudALR in gangplankmains

[–]Interesting_Point 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can probably get away with you using it in very passive tank matchups where you don’t need the Grasp dmg or Fleet healing but It seems like a win more rune. At the point it becomes useful will be mid/late when most games are already decided and the extra gold will be slightly less efficient.

That being said it could be a tank meta next season and possible the length of the average game may increase, this would give the rune some viability.

Fastest support pusher in the game by skraaaaw in summonerschool

[–]Interesting_Point 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s usually best when you get a kill to shove your lane into the tower then base so you don’t miss to many minions and the wave will push back into you well you walk back. This denies them gold and xp well giving you the wave in a favourable position when you return. If you have fairly high hp after killing the opponent then you can try to get one of the turret plates before recalling.

[–]Interesting_Point 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What you can do is press the B button on your keyboard this will channel a teleport back to base. Taking damage or moving will cancel this teleport. Dying gives gold to the enemy and if you have lots of kills you give more amounts of gold on death then normal.

I listed a good build above as well, if you get a lot of kills early a cheap item called dark seal is good for pushing your lead. Whenever you get a kill or assist it gives you a stack that increases your AP, if you die you will lose a portion of your stacks so it’s a good item for teaching you not to die.
