TY vs Byun is unfortunately early for us all (D1 vs C2). | ||

Are you trying to sound the least bright possible or what xD? Gaining money on gambling is about having a positive expected value, not gambling on just one match, so why would I bet on Neeb vs Dark? Well according to you, you just ignore previous data and bet based on who is confident. Since bookmakers don't do that, you surely have a lot of good EV+ opportunities since you have a very different philosophy. That's not very complicated, so how come you haven't understood that concept yet. Talk about not being so bright, huh? Why say no to lots of free EV+ opportunities? | ||

ShoWTimE a top Z that beat him handily recently iirc, then the best foreign Protoss / top world P, or the best Korean zerg, etc... Any player needs to defeat one Korean minimum and the foreigners left are all very good. Elazer seems like an underdog in ZvP or even ZvT but he is capable of beating ShoWTimE or Neeb (and in ZvT no matter his true level TY and ByuN wouldn't really lose in this MU against him), so ShoWTimE having to face him isn't as easy as some people think. Thinking about it, the only player who has an easy road relative to his level is Dark if Neeb doesn't live up to the expectations. | ||

Sorry for not being addicted to gambling Maybe if you had more confidence in your gambling skill, that would surely translate into more gambling succeed. I mean don't underestimate confidence. Whether you are actually good at betting or not is irrelevant, it's all about whether you think you can win or not. Don't be scared of the bookmaker. Also, pretty sure that noone who actually makes a stable profit from gambling would be called addicts. And you can surely do that if data - in some cases -is irrelevant because its never irrelevant to the bookmaker. I don't ignore previous data all the time but previous data and Neeb winning against Dark is far from incompatible . Yeh you probably only ignore data when you want to root for a spefic player, or at least there are no actual good reason for why you should make an exception here. | ||
