% of IPL4 viewers that will know that Copenhagen Games, The Gathering or Gamers Assembly are occurring on the same weekend – Over/Under 17.3%
Under.
# of announcements made by other major tournaments during the course of IPL4 – Over/Under 3.5
over. GSL can make announcements too and this is the perfect stage to announce to their forgein audience
# of times the LANbulance is called – Over/Under 4.5
By who? If 1 player drops it immediately goes into the over. I'll take the safe bet of the over
# of foreigners to make it out of the open bracket – Over/Under 2.5
Under. The over/under under should be at .5
A foreigner will finish in the top six – 10 to 1
Stephano hasn't looked his unbeatable self. Idra has an impossible group and wont get any breaks. No foreigners in the top 6.
A GSTL player will win the tournament – 3 to 1
I'll take this any day of the week.
The IPL4 winner will come from the open bracket – 2 to 3
I would take this bet too. So many koreans that can make this their breakout tourny
IdrA will go 0 – 4 in his group – 1 to 3
I would take idra not going 0-4, I think he is learning to adapt his play better.
Nestea makes it through his group – even odds
No. I don't think Nestea plays well at forgien events, and I don't think he will get out of his group.
A foreigner will defeat a GSL champion in a series at any point in the tournament – 15 to 1
Yeah. I'll take this. MVP and Nestea both look beatable. Jjakji could also get upset.
Chance that a celebrity hookup puts ESPORTS into the mainstream – 45,000,000 to 1
Sure. I'll bet a dollar to win 45 million. I don't care what the bet is.

I'm surprised JJakji wasn't mentioned much in this article. He's actually my pick to win it, or atleast finish top 3. I would definitely say hes one of the best players coming from the open bracket.

Just to comment on Copenhagen Games and The Gathering, both have always been done during the easters and always will be done at the same time. There will always be collisions there I'm afraid
|
Why, why fractional odds? They are counterintuitive and confusing, why not use normal decimal odds?
|
Great idea for an article and some good bet ideas here.
A GSTL player will win the tournament – 3 to 1
About that... as the guy with the long post very accurately said, this is probably the easiest bet to make, as the odds are way too good. This would be an interesting bet if it said "Foxer will win the tournament - 4 or 5 to 1"
Now, I would like to turn your attention to some real SC2 bets that any non-americans can make at pinnaclesports.com
Sat 4/7 1001 StarTale 1.909
05:30 PM 1002 Prime 1.943
Sat 4/7 1003 July 1.862
05:30 PM 1004 Maru 1.990
Very interesting odds, and I think they'll change quickly as for me it's Prime all the way with these odds. I definitely think they're the favorites vs startale. The july vs maru match is very tricky, it could go either way, but I'm feeling Maru here, if he doesn't choke hard due to stage fright he's actually better than july and 1.99 is pretty good for him.
Also, some interesting odds from the IPL groups:
Fri 4/6 2003 Tails 2.500
11:30 AM 2004 NesTea 1.568
Fri 4/6 2005 Tails +1.5 1.532 2.610
12:30 PM 2006 aLive -1.5 2.590 1.526
I'd bet Tails on both of these. I'd say he's underrated here, I remember even naniwa saying that Tails is the only stream he's subscribed to and watches as Tails is really good and has some sick builds.
Fri 4/6 2019 Bomber -1.5 2.040 1.311
07:30 PM 2020 IdrA +1.5 1.826 3.630
Fri 4/6 2021 MMA -1.5 1.763 1.226
08:30 PM 2022 IdrA +1.5 2.120 4.490
3.63 for Idra is not that bad actually vs Bomber, I mean Idra is still a big underdog but he might be able to do something if Bomber does not play his best. On the other hand, I'd go for the -1.5 1.76 bet for MMA to 2:0 Idra. I think Idra will go into that series with the mindset that he's already lost aand.. that's exactly what will happen 
Last but not least,
Fri 4/6 2009 WhiteRa +1.5 2.710 7.090
02:30 PM 2010 MarineKing -1.5 1.493 1.114
Go go Foxer -1.5 here @ 1.5. At the moment I'd say he's by far the best tvp player in the world, and 2:0-ing WhiteRa is something that is very very VERY probable.
I'd love to hear some of your thoughts about the bets too guys

idra to make it out of his group!!

Definitely one of the better articles I've seen here in a long time :D
EDIT: Can someone explain to me why it's illegal to bet on eSports in the U.S.?
|

White-Ra will use special tactics for threesome with wife and celebrity

Why don't you do it then? You can even tell us what you've bet on after that.

Just from a statistics perspective, I'd drop ten bucks down on the chance that one of our good-looking players gets lucky. Far more likely than hitting the lottery lol, and I'd take $450 million in a heartbeat

This looks like a nice idea.

Omg, i love these "themes" write ups
You guys doing great work, much appreciated! Hyped <3
