It's pity Tasteless doesn't know much about foreign scene.. first the Sortof-Demuslim match where Demuslim definitely wasn't a favorite, now Nerchio-Forgg. He was talking as if Forgg was 80/20 favorite to win, while coming into the match Forgg was rather the underdog.

or not
so how much did you bet on him for 3 times the money


I bet $600 and made a nice profit. ^^

thats not how you profit. you profit from making good bets


And I make 65% correct bets silly. When you actually understands what constitutes a "favorite", it's easy to bet on this scene.

lol
yeah youre a profitable better mentioning a stat that says nothing. you know that all odds between players arent given at 2 times the money each right? how many bets have you made?
yes its all about understanding what constitutes a favourite to be profitable. could you tell me more about what constitutes a favourite? what were the odds in that match for example?


I have made 1912 career bets, getting 1191 bets correct. During the IEM group stages I have made 23 correct bets out of 29, only skipping Nestea vs Violet. The only mistake I made was predicting Inori to advance in the 2nd-3rd spot.

Personally I use a 15-category heuristic model of talent evaluation in conjunction with recent results, recent alterations to said model, tournament priority, situational experience, and the influence of inside information. Prestige and reputation are largely irrelevant unless they reflect said factors in action.


I think his point was that most bets are not offered at 1:1 odds.


Well, no shit. But that's not his point at all.

lol, how could that possibly not be my point, thats exactly what i said, that you made a useless comment that said nothing. then you actually repeated it. and now i find out you actually think that it wasnt my point

Well, no shit.


His point then is still valid.

I could bet on Federer every match, win 80% of the time, and potentially be losing money.


And where does this hypothetical scenario ever fit into the conversation? He started an argument with someone else over a casting complaint, not the handicap on a website like Pinnacle Sports. Then I stated that I bet on Nerchio, he stated that the decision was not a smart one, and I disagreed.

probably fits into where you bragged about making 65% "correct" bets and how nonsense that statement is

As the WCS is demonstrating, reputation alone can cause opponents to straight-up lose and make dumb mistakes.

proof?

If Demuslim had won that super close game 3 against SortOf, he'd be through and SortOf wouldn't.


He was so close to winning that game you can sort of say that he is there.

A useless comment in response to a useless point that I already know very well. The real question is, why did you assume that I didn't know that odds can be different for different players (WOW WHAT A DISCOVERY) in the first place?

Any betting man worth his salt knows that prediction rate is directly correlated with ROI, even if odds vary wildly from an ideal 1:1 (and that includes vigorish too). It is almost impossible to lose money with a 65% prediction rate unless

A. You bet the same amount of money on every single bet and only bet on heavily favored players.
B. You consistently bet a disproportionately large amount of money on heavily favored players and small amounts on the underdogs.

I bet that Nerchio, ForGG, and Inori would advance past the bracket. Since Inori did not advance past the bracket, I lost money. This is what ordinary people call a mistake.

"KeSPA players have a lot more televised match experiences than GSL players. So I think they are better experts at performing for televised matches than us."
-Creator after Winners Round 2 match

"I don't know if I'm simple or what but I didn't think that way. For some reason I seem to be less nervous for my WCS games than my ProLeague games. I felt like I had nothing to lose from playing against people who were better to begin with but I'm playing against GSL players like this during the WCS with a calm mind."
- herO[join] after Losers Round 1 match

The game had a lot of shakes and turns. It seems that when KeSPA players go up against GSL players, the KeSPA players have the advantage. GSL players' burden of losing to KeSPA players is heavy so if it goes all the way to the third game, that burden gets even heavier. In my case, I was able to play peacefully so I think I was able to make a comeback.

And most of the time said judgments are made from incomplete information. This makes upsets seem random when many of them are predictable.

Go ahead and keeping my jock over the imaginary deficiencies you see in me. That will only confirm your fraudulence to everyone who reads your posts. You talk big when you can criticize non-existent flaws you create on the spot, just like any person who isn't worth their salt in a straight conversation.

yeah youre completely defiency free. and look whos talking big with his fancy words, but you can only come up with false things for so long before you get called out. you think youre a hotshot better with 1900 bets. perhaps if you didnt have basic flaws in your betting theory, actually had a 30%roi, and made 1900 bets with it, you could afford a ticket to europe.

and what a nice forum this is, seen countless of posts less rude than this get banned, and i can only imagine how many other times youve done this
