Odds...
+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading]


Bet on quite a few of these matches, here are my picks:

IdrA vs Socke
4 units on Socke @ 2.01

This bet kind of ties in with IdrA vs Kiwikaki, I got odds of over evens for both of them, and I can't see IdrA winning two PvZ vs top class protoss players, I feel he may be the underdog in both these matches.

qxc vs Ret
7 units on Ret @ 1.606

A bet here on Ret more than a bet against qxc, I feel Ret is going to be hard to stop this MLG until he runs into a top protoss, and the feeling I get from Ret is, like in BW, the ZvT/TvZ matchup is his speciality.

Kiwikaki vs Socke
5 units on Kiwikaki @ 2.445

A match and race matchup that I feel is very close and pretty much a coinflip, therefore a bet on whichever player was going to be over ~2.2

Tyler vs Machine
8 units on Tyler @ 1.680

Tyler and PvZ is a combination I feel very safe betting on. Good value here I believe.

SeleCT vs Ret
7 units on Ret @ 1.676

Same as Ret vs qxc

PainUser vs iNcontrol
5 units on iNc @ 2.380

Two players just below the "elite" group, in my opinion. I give iNc the edge here due to the current trends in the PvT matchup and that I think the players will be similar in terms of skill and preparation.

SLush vs TLO
4 units on SLush @ 2.860

I feel the true odds here are around SLush at ~2.3-2.4, this is a matchup zergs have been having more joy in recently and I think SLush has a better chance that these odds give him credit for.

IdrA vs Kiwikaki
4 units on Kiwikaki @ 2.360

See IdrA vs Socke

Drewbie vs Machine
5 units on Machine @ 2.500

What I believe will be a close match, the bookies have Drewbie as a sizeable favourite, so going to go with Machine, despite no really strong tournament performances yet.



Give me your thoughts on my picks and any bets you've made, and ofcourse good luck

youre wrong with drewbie, slush, select and painuser.

drewbie/select/painuser will win their matches, slush will lose to tlo

I agree SLush is an underdog but not as much as the odds suggest... the rest we will have to wait and see, you have any bets on?

are there any overall winners odds out yet?

those odds on machine seem pretty crazy, seems like machine is being seriously underrated there.

i generally think your betting looks solid but not so sure about ret - select. i think they're flattering ret a little and it'll be a lot closer than the odds make out. both very strong players ofcourse
life will not be contained. Life breaks free, it expands to new territories and crashes through barriers, painfully, maybe even dangerously but there it is. Life finds a way

you bet on the world gsl tourney or w/e? July v MVP line has been moving like crazy. I got july at -108 then caught MVP at +124 for a nice little freeroll on july winning.

I dunno man, I have faith that Idra will come out of his slump against these protoss in the big stage environment. Im actually surprised at the TTOne odds.

Machine finished 6th ....
Have you ever heard the story, about the Zergling and the Probe? The Probe didn't make it across the creep.

Maybe I'm being harsh but I consider a player of his calibre to be disappointed with his best sc2 acheivement so far being a 6th place finish at an MLG, its a good results yes, not a great one.

I betted on Tyler winning both games (betted more vs Machine), Socke vs Idra (win for Socke), and I am quite sure that qxc has a decent chance vs Ret so I betted quite a bit on qxc @2.4 . Not quite sure yet wether to bet on Select vs Ret as well .... I am quite a fan of Ret even before TSL 2 and it feels kinda wrong to bet against him both games bot I am not confident enough in his TvZ to bet on him at those odds

mhh seems that pinnacle for some reasons is only counting the first set from the games from yesterday.
+ Show Spoiler +
Recieved money for the Tyler vs Machine match although I bettet on Tyler and he lost the series but won the first game afaik. pinnacle has it listed as 1-0


btw betted on SWL Playoffs SKT vs OZ as well on OZ@2.71 seemed to be good value as well
