As with all forms of gambling, betting on progames will yield winners and losers. Don't forget that you could easily be that loser. | ||

Seriously, that guy is funny as hell but he has voodoo blood in his veins. I think Artosis definitely skews the odds on Nestea, and even sometimes I'm tempted to back Nestea, when I should be betting against him.... | ||

You actually lose in the lon run with average skills. While i definitely do think that its possible to get a ROI of about 105% (long term) betting on sc2 if your really good, i dont think op is a winner long term. I have been working with odds my self, and it seems to me that the logic of op is way to simpe, and he is clearly a guy who probably doesn't understand the difference between long-term winnings short term, or basic terms such as bet value. When that is said, you can probably come up with general rules, aka foreigners are overrated. Some players like nestea is overrated. But for me to bet according to those rules you will need much more testing. | ||

I highly doubt that they will like betting because of bad impression came from last year's incident. I believe us Americans can not bet on SC matches because it would be online gambling, which is illegal for some stupid reason... | ||

All the people who lost money? They didn't come post. Don't think it's easy to make money like this; it's not. | ||

However, from what I remember, that E-sports menu appears only if there are matches to bet on. It seems they haven't added MMA vs DRG yet. Keep checking once in a while. | ||

 Betting on sc2 is also the way I make most of my income (before that if was poker (small stakes) and recreative sports betting so I was used to manage a bankroll).SC2 is way more profitable than any other sports, as you can have an edge over the bookmakers if you follow the players closely (especially the GSL players) Foreigns tournaments like MLG are also very profitable because there are few upsets in korean vs foreign matches as you said. | ||
