my last bet for today:
adf6ee69ec.png


I literally only placed that bet because of hades's comment on reddit "ready to see something special tonight? ;)"

lol


King of Major's has been a very succesful tournament for me. Won all of the matches except for VP vs. NiP which I kinda missed out. I would have placed a small bet on VP tho :3

Also I'm only 43€ away of being in Profit again! Feels so unreal to recover from a 270€ loss o_O

Can you not bet chroma items on Lounge? I have 3 Glock Catacombs but I don't see them in my inventory when I go to bet.

Sigh lost my first bet on LtK because of Handled's potato pc crashing two times where they could have won the rounds. 16-13 was the end score so it was a decent bet. SKDC is really bad atm and will bet against them when they play against the better teams.

Hey guys, just got back into playing CS and decided to get my first pair of gaming headphones, but I have a question which I can't find an answer to anywhere online...

I bought a USB headphone/mic set and wanted to know if I could force CS: GO (or any game for that matter) through the headphones while letting all my other sounds continue out through my speakers. I don't want to keep having to put headphones on to hear a YouTube video or music playing from iTunes while I'm not playing games. I was looking at the Sound settings in Windows and don't see any option to associate certain audio outputs with specific programs, is there a way to do this?

Alright. Need to earn like 15$ more, and I'll have recovered from all (most of) my losses :)

Yeah I put 2.50$ on Mythic too. Feels great :D


anyways, did anyone here already sell skins on OPSkins.com? Site looks promising, I just tested it out with a low valuad item to see if it's scammerino but it's not!

I just wonder if people even go there and buy/sell stuff

Had a good run in the last 2 weeks.. Restarted betting with less than a dollar and now I got between 60-70$ in my returns.

Gonna work my way towards a knife and then stop

That website looks interesting, I might try it out. Saw it being mentioned on a stream a while back.

What site is that? It doesn't look like CSGO Lounge.

It's the lounge website with the Lounge Destroyer on Chrome.

Almost. All the lounge addons look kinda similar, but I'm using Lounge Assistant. Mainly because CSGL is forcing me to. I was using Lounge Companion but it kept giving me stupid "yea this is stupid dont use this use Lounge Assistant pls" messages lol

Edit: Just switched to Lounge Destroyer though.

To be fair, the majority of that (45$) came from a single lucky yolo bet yesterday - but still... lol

I lost so much betting, I'm trying my hardest to break even atm.

Hmm, I'm not really liking the 7 days trade restriction when buying an item off the market... How am I suppose to bet now?!

Any thoughs on tonight's matches? Not feeling any of them tbh. VP should take cbble but you can never trust VP and they are playing against NV. Titan vs NIP you would expect Titan to take dust2 but it depends on KennyS + Apex being on form and they have not been lately. The odds for both are near what I would put them at so no potential underdog upsets make me want to skip them both.

Was gonna put an AK Redline on TSM versus Fnatic but the new Marketplace Rules kind of put a stop to that.... :mad:

I'm going medium on VP since it's cobble and VP are good on Cobble and Cobble is not got for nV because nV don't like Cobble even tho Cobble is settled in France and nV are from France and so is Cobble which nV doesn't like which brings us back to VP which are known to be good on Cobble because recently they also beat nV on Cobble because nV looks clueless on Cobble and they don't like Cobble and this is why I see VP taking Cobble so thats why I'm gonna place a medium bet on VP...on Cobble.

It might be a good idea to start stocking up on betting items for Katowice right now. Prices might even go up a week before the tournament.

I don't get it... How does property have around the same ℅ as NV vs VP? Anyways I'd take VP vs property (VP winning) with those odds and upset should be Skillz>KPV

Skip VPvs NV as the VP property is more safe with around the same payout.

I'm also on the edge about wizards > Publiclir Wizards showed a lot of promising things in the Esl qualifier.

PENTA VS G2 and Orbit vs G2 are just traps waiting to happen stay away or if you have to bet go penta.

Because last time they played D2 Property ran over VP the first half. They had problems closing but took it in the end.

Thinking of placing a bet on VP vs Fnatic as it's overpass if the odds stay around 20% on VP.

PS: Accept the AK trade offer before I bet it away!

I will! I will! Haven't has time to turn on the laptop 10min start up (it doesn't have a battery so I have to keep it plugged in) and I've been busy with school.

I'll do it in like 2hrs after school.

Too many matches that are 50/50 in odds so can't really risk any big bets, as I can't do my betting technique, so just betting 1 buck on every team I think should win based on the map. Let's see how many I win as I'm really bad at getting a win streak and that's why my way of betting on underdogs works for me.

My bets for today so far:

VP > Fnatic(overpass is a map that VP practices)
VP > NV(Cbble same as above)
TSM > Fnatic(TSM are great online and I feel fnatic's Inferno is not as solid nowadays as it was late last year)
Property > VP(D2 so VP are horrible on it and Property won last time)
Publiclir > Ex6(50/50 really but I had to put a bet on the Swedes)
Titan > NIP(D2 so it's Titans best map and NIP will probably play with Khrystal so KennyS will shut him down)

Will bet more later depending on how these go. How are you guys betting today?

TST > C9, small underdog bet that was delayed from last night apparently
VP > Fnatic, my yolo for the day
TSM > Fnatic, small underdog bet
VP > Property, VP is just a better team
skillz > KPV, I have no idea who these teams are. These are the types of bets that keep me from climbing lol

Threw a $5 skin on VP > Fnatic because overpass and good odds, it's Best of One so they have a chance IMO.

Debating TSM > Fnatic as well but I'm not sure what to put on it skin wise. What $1 skins do you usually use?

I dunno...I kinda put a medium bet on Fnatic > VP

I know it's Overpass and VP are usually good on it but so is Fnatic and they did beat them 3 out of 3 times in the past.

You might be shocked now but I see more upset potential by CW on Dust2 :d

I'm clean out again, I cash out anything worth more than my initial bet (Usually anything $10+) and throw anything 50 cents or less on "throwaway bets".

anyways, heres what I cobbled together for tonight. Big game is the VP one for me :p

VP couldn't close last night. What makes you think overpass would be any different? I'm not comfortable with any of the odds tbh.

So many interesting bets today. We'll see how they all come out. This is the first time I've had the quantity of skins to spread out my bets this much. With my luck though, they'll all lose and I'll have just a handful left.
