Now on topic, I didn't really bet a lot on MLG, just the 3 matches (I thought) were the most appealing. First of course was Tyler vs machine @ 1.68. It looked so perfect but then... oh well. I also bet on Kiwi vs Socke @ 2.45. Thought that was a big mistake by the bookmaker to give such high odds for two players that are relatively on the same level (and PvP as well!). Last, I bet on Incontrol vs Painuser just as you, and was really disappointed to find that the only game he lost on day 1 was vs painuser.... :s All in all, I was a little behind from that, but that is ok because there is always GSL  where I seem to be doing great.I couldn't stop myself from betting on Dimaga vs nestea when I saw it was 3.00 for Dimaga, a great odd for a ZvZ between two good players, and nestea's streak was bound to end sooner or later. I also got San vs Dimaga @1.83, PvZ and all Also got MVP @ 2.20 vs July, that I feel was another mistake by the bookie, putting july as a favourite vs the best terran in the world.I giggled a bit when I saw MC vs anypro, it was something like 1.13 vs 5.10, but justified I guess when you see the results hehe. I put some nice money there for MC -1.5 on 1.43. Now, I feel the big offer next round is MC vs Foxer. It's around 1.33 for MC BUT the real deal is MC -1.5 which started around 1.68 when I put my bet. Let's face it, MC is unstoppable now and is most probably going to win, and if he wins it is most probably going to be 3:0 or 3:1, so I feel if there was something to put your money on it would be this.. TLDR: I was a little behind from MLG because of Tyler; MC vs Foxer @ 1.68 for MC with handicap is a great deal imo! | ||

7 units on Nani > Select @ 1.714 had the chance to bet select to cover myself when the odds changed later but thought it wasn't worth it. Ended up down a small amount after day 1 but ended up positive by the end of the event after betting on nani to beat select and also had winning bets with 7 units on qxc > Haypro @ 2.210 5 units on Socke > HuK @ 2.360 and a losing bet of 6 units on Grubby > Dde @ 2.080 Only open bet I have at the moment is the same as THM MC vs MKP 9 units on MC(-1.5) @ 1.676 I think the odds on MVP vs san are pretty fair atm so no bet there for me. Waiting for more bets to appear but might be a while now  | ||

 so maybe open a new one with a more general name?Yeah MLG went not so good for me.... I think I was to tired to really think it through (extended series and all that), plus it was harder then normal to judge players performances on the event due to the lack of actual games shown @GSL: I totaly agree with THM on MC vs MKP with handicap betted that as well. Betted also a smaller amount on San vs MVP cause I still dont trust MVP's TvP but the odds are not great I agree. Edit: Ok I see you have blogs for every event :D nice. But damn were the lines good on the TSL3 games .... really considering wether its still worth to bet on Tyler | ||

Some thread centralized for this would be very nice. BTW goody (bought at +294) v nani lines changed a whole bunch, I bet on nani (-250) for the freeroll over goody. I used to always freeroll whenever I had a chance, but randy seems to be against it - so I'm not gonna freeroll sen (bought at -127) v boxer (+170) cuz I think sen is gonna win it pretty easily. didn't bet on gsl - lines looked ok to me when i looked | ||

BUT luckily (or unfortunate for those idea) an opportunity came up for me to go to brasil for 4 month and I am leaving germany tomorrow. So different time zones unreliable internet and probably lack of time will make it quite hard to get my normal dose of TL and SC2. But the good thing with Starcraft is, that I am confident that, it will be still around when I am back (and probably bigger then ever ). | ||

I'll PM u my details and hopefully we can get it going. There are TSL odds now! and Tyler is 2.35 vs Thorzain?? That looks really wierd to me, Tyler being an even bigger underdog after round 1. Maybe they are looking too much into his MLG results... but still, sounds like a deal to me. | ||
