Month: December 2022

Cyber.bet has evolved from a major Esports betting site since it was established in 2018 to adding a sportsbook in 2019.  Operated by Ice Gaming N.V. and a member of the Esports Integrity Commission, the bookmaker earned its license from the Curacao Government.

There are many reasons why new bettors should try out Cyber.bet, which has since offered more than 5,000 events monthly to choose from. The company provides more than 1,000 Esports events available every month, perfect for punters who are hooked into CS:Go, Mobile Legends, and Call of Duty, among others.

Let’s explore the many features Cyber.bet has to offer to convince Esports bettors and new sports punters to place their money on its website. From enticing promotions to flexible odds and betting markets, the Curacao-based bookmaker will further grow to ensure a fun sports betting experience.

BOOST EXTRA FUNDS WITH NEW CUSTOMER OFFER

New bettors and seasoned punters are always on the lookout for enticing welcome promotions from bookmakers, and Cyber.bet does not disappoint. The bookmaker’s new offer, “100% Bonus Up to €300,” shows the potential to boost your bankroll.

Users must first register for a Cyber.bet account through its website by filling up the necessary information. After filling up the form and opening an account, you need to make a deposit and use the promo code CYBERBETFBR22 to avail of the bonus.

A €10 minimum deposit must be kept through the account before using the promotional code, even as the bonus amount is 100% of the deposited sum (but not more than €300 or its equivalent in your local currency.)

A “turnover” is required to be made by the player for him to withdraw the awarded amount. Only accepted bets are taken into account (refunded bets are not counted), while certain requirements for the odds may be applied depending on a specific promo offer.

FLEXIBLE ODDS, WIDER BETTING MARKETS ON CYBER.BET

Punters can choose a wide variety of odds before placing their bets on Cyber.bet. From the Decimal, US, Hong Kong, Indo, and Malay odds, the sportsbook gives users more choices where they feel most comfortable in making their bets.

There are higher odds for football events on the website, so bettors might want to try out a new sport – or something you haven’t tried before – to get better odds before placing that bet.

Aside from Esports and football, Cyber.bet has grown their betting markets from basketball, cricket, and rugby to darts, MMA, and handball, among others.

While Cyber.bet remains unavailable to the United States and the United Kingdom, the bookmaker can be enjoyed by bettors from Australia to as far as Southeast Asia.

ENJOY FAST LIVE STREAMING FOR ESPORTS MATCHES

Esports fans and bettors can be demanding in finding a medium to monitor their favorite events online, and Cyber.bet has them covered with its efficient live streaming feature.

The live stream is broadcast not only for major Esports events but to any sports events you want to watch on the website. Bettors get to experience the comforts of watching League of Legends, Dota 2, Call of Duty, and Counter-Strike events in real time.

Cyber.bet also provides match markets that constantly update punters with new odds depending on which way the game is going at the time. The bookmaker also offers special in-play features like the total winner, handicap, and over/under bets for total maps won.

Two fighters going toe-to-toe and looking for that mighty punch to win is the excitement boxing can offer to sports fans and bettors alike. The opportunity to predict who wins between two boxers with almost equal power lures more punters to place their money with the hope of getting a big payday.

Bettors should understand that there are many ways to determine if a fighter emerges victorious in a bout. Aside from a knockout, there is also the technical knockout (TKO) that also provides a significant impact among bookies, particularly in major fights.

Let’s explore the difference between a KO and a TKO, and why a TKO provides a different dynamic to punters who go beyond wins over points or the regular KOs.

HOW TO SPOT A FIGHT WON ON TKO

Once a boxer sustains a major injury – from a headbutt to a major cut in the face or a dislocated shoulder – the possibility of the fighter not coming back is imminent. Such a situation calls for the other fighter to win by TKO.

Only ring judges, or the ring doctor, can determine if the boxer can still return to the ring and resume the fight before making the call if a TKO decision is necessary.

A KO happens when a boxer drops on his knees and falls and does not stand up after a 10 count. A TKO, meanwhile, comes with the three knockdown rule or if the referee steps in to stop the fight. The fight can also be called a win by TKO if a fighter’s seconds, or his cornermen, decide that their ward cannot continue.

BET TO WIN ‘INSIDE THE DISTANCE’

Punters should make sure that the sportsbook he will place his money on has a category where a fighter’s victory via KO, TKO, or disqualification is open for betting. However, you still need to read the bookie’s terms and conditions before betting on your favorite knockout artist to ensure that major payday.

Most of these bets are classified as bets where the boxer wins “inside the distance,” or less than the usual 12 rounds of a professional bout.

Placing a bet on a boxer winning via TKO is actually part of the individual prop bets offered by most bookmakers especially in major title fights. Some bookies separate their betting categories for fighters winning via KO, TKO, disqualification, or in points, among others.

FIGHTER’S HISTORY LEADS TO WINNING KO, TKO BETS

Like other team sports, betting on boxers will be based on the odds placed on them. Fighters who are known for their barrage of punches and fast footwork, from Mike Tyson to Manny Pacquiao, often win their fights inside the distance either through KO or TKO.

Let’s place an example of Tyson fighting Evander Holyfield. Tyson was tagged as a -160, or a favorite, to win, while Holyfield is +130, or the underdog. A bettor who thinks Tyson will win by placing a 100 US dollars bet will get a payout of 162.50 US dollars – his original 100 dollars will be returned along with his 62.50 dollars of winnings.

If you bet on the underdog Holyfield, you will get a 230-dollar payout – you get your 100 dollars back along with your 130 dollars of winnings.

A boxer with overwhelming odds to win may take a bettor to place a lot of money just to win. A punter has to bet 10,000 US dollars to win 100 dollars on a fighter who is a 10,000-point favorite to win among bookies. An example was the fight where Anthony Joshua was a -1100 favorite while Alexander Povetkin was a +650 underdog in their fight in September 2018.

LOOK OUT FOR SPLIT, MAJORITY, UNANIMOUS DECISION CALLS

Some fights won’t end up with exciting KOs or TKO decisions most fans (and bettors) hope for. Punters who place their money on victories after 12 rounds should check on different ways to determine if their fighters can claim the victory.

A Split Decision happens when two of the three judges score the same fighter as the winner, while the third judge scores the other fighter as the winner.

If the results on the judges’ scorecards comes out with the same number of points for the two fighters, the bout ends in a draw. A technical draw happens if the referee stops the fight due to an accidental injury or foul before the required number of rounds have been completed for the fight to be decided on the judges’ scorecards – otherwise also known as a technical decision.

Lastly, once a fight is ruled as a No Contest or a No Decision, all bets should be returned by the bookmaker.

Punters who pick out two winning selections across two different faces on the same bet and stake are the ones who take on a “double bet.” But the catch here is the bettor needs to win in both selections to gain a return.

“Doubling up,” or a double bet, is a single betting option that combines the score of a match at halftime and the score at the end of the game. If the bettor’s halftime bet wins, the stake will then be carried over to the second bet.

Let’s explore how bettors succeed in double betting and how they should manage their bankroll to sustain these multiple bets. Double bets go with double results, so punters must have a clear understanding on what they are going into before placing their money and hope for a big payday.

HIGHER PAY, GREATER RISKS IN DOUBLE BETS

Bettors must understand that straightforward bets and double result bets are two different things. Straight forward bets have three possible outcomes (win, loss, and draw), while double result bets offer nine possible outcomes.

The intricacies of having multiple outcomes in double bets lead to a higher payout that can lure punters who are ready for great risks and can burn money in their bankroll.

There will be higher odds for a Win/Loss bet on a home team, for example, compared to a Win/Win bet for the home team since such a scenario is less likely for a home team to lose than it is for them to win.

POINT ADDED IN MULTIPLE ODDS OF DOUBLE BETS

Punters should also realize that a point is added to each of the two odds before it is multiplied to create new odds for the two selections.

A match with 8/1 and 9/1 odds, for example, will reach up to 9/1 and 10/1 due to a double bet, leading to double bet odds of 89/1 (as 9 is multiplied by 10 for 90 and 89+1=90).

A double bet will be placed by a punter on the results of matches featuring Newcastle vs Everton and Watford vs Fulham, for example.

The odds say that Everton will defeat Newcastle at odds of 5/1 while Watford will beat Fulham at odds of 6/1.  Once the stake goes to 2 Euros and both of the results were to come in, the bettor will win 84 Euros, gaining a profit of 82 Euros from the original 2 Euros stake.

TEAM PERFORMANCE, GAME DYNAMICS VITAL TO DOUBLE BETS

Just like any betting option, punters must come up with an effective betting strategy to become successful in winning double result betting.

If an expert tells a bettor to dig in on a particular team, he or she should study the team’s reputation, or if it consistently goes on a hot start or if it slacks off by halftime. The stamina factor of a team playing in the second half and its knack of making comebacks also come into play.

They say teams playing at home have greater chances of winning, but there are also teams that get their best from their players due to the challenge of winning on the road.

Sports that play outdoors, like the NFL and MLB, among others, also have weather or playing conditions as things to look out for before making that bet.

We are already in the middle of this year’s CS:GO Major Championship in Antwerp, Belgium. Let’s find out who are the prominent names in the Legends Stage as they fight for the title of the Best CS:GO Team in the World!

In this blog, we will look at the betting trends and tips for this event.

WHO ARE THE FAVORITES TO WIN?

Well, there are a lot of great teams nowadays in the PGL Major Antwerp 2022. The CIS region seemed to dominate last year and this year, as there are already 4/5 teams qualified for the Legends Stage.

Will it be NAVI winning back-to-back Major titles? Or maybe FAZE can show up with a massive effort this time around?

Here are the odds: the slight favorites are FAZE (+160), which is showing a great Counter-Strike performance this year; the next is NAVI (+200) – the current Major Champions; then comes Cloud9 (+500), and Heroic (+700) at fourth, while NIP (+900) close out the top-5 favorites list.

WILL THE NEW CLOUD9 ROSTER SHOW UP?

The ex-Gambit team is now playing under the Cloud9 tag, as they are willing to win the Championship and claim for themselves as the top bet for the No.1 team in the world.

The CIS roster showed up at the beginning of the 2020 tournament with a big win in Katowice. And from that time, they are considered one of the favorites for every tournament they competed.

It is quite risky to bet on Cloud9 winning the Major, but it will be real fun to cheer for them and they may win the big prize!

WHAT TO BET AT A CS:GO MATCH?

Well, there are a lot of things that everyone can bet on. For example, in a Best-of-3 match, it is common to bet on whether there would be more than 2.5 maps or so. Also, there are interesting lines as to whether particular players clash (as to who will perform better in one particular matchup).

You can also bet on the total rounds in the particular map (for example, you think there will be more or less than 26.5 rounds in one map).

One of the bettors’ favorite bets on CS:GO matches is to bet on who will win the pistol round (it is the first round of the game and the first round of the second half).

It is hard to say who will win in Antwerp 2022. But it is for sure that the motivation for the teams to win a 1,000,000 US dollar price is on top of their minds. However, you can try your luck on betting on CS:GO Major and have fun and win!

Sports betting around the world has evolved the last few decades, from punters needing to go betting shops or relying on runners to place their money to just flipping their mobile phones and making their bets online.

The expansion of bets has also grown beyond the traditional bets, and bettors who place their money beyond the normal point spread, money line, run line, puck line or parlay-type bets are those who take part in “exotic bets.”

A bet on the outcome of a special sports event other than the traditional side, or those of non-sports events, is also called an exotic bet. However, it can’t be blamed that exotic wagers are often associated with, but not limited to, horse racing.

BET BEYOND WIN, PLACE OR SHOW IN TRACKS

Once a punter places his money on the race tracks beyond the usual win, place or show bets is considered an exotic bet.

There is the “Exacta Bet,” where bettors are wagering on horses that will finish in first and second in that order. Then, there’s the “Quinella Bet,” which is wagering on horses that will finish in first and second, but this time regardless of any order.

The other exotic wagers options in horse racing include the “Wheels bets,” which allows a punter to keep a particular horse as his winning horse then adds others as the second horse in his exacta bet.

And then there’s “Boxes,” which are described as punters taking on a larger version  of the quinella bet, wherein he is betting on every permutation of the horses he has selected.

FIND EXOTIC BETS IN RUGBY, CRICKET, AUSTRALIAN RULES FOOTBALL

Bettors who are adventurous and are tempted to try non-traditional popular betting sports like the NHL, MLB and the NBA can try out sports that may not be popular in the US but these are known in other parts of the world.

The Rugby League and Rugby Union are popular in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands, so punters in these areas can check out bets such as determining the first scoring play, first player to kick a goal, first team to score and the player who kicks the most goals for the match and round as some of the exotic bets in the sport.

In India, Pakistan and most of South Asia, they can explore betting on cricket matches that offer the “Most Sixes,” the winner of the toss, the team high bat – match and series, ther highest opening partnership and run spreads as among the enticing exotic bets there.

Bettors who get a kick of determining the “First Scoring Play,” “First Player to Kick a Goal,” the “Player to Get Most Disposals in Game and Round,” and the “Man of the Match, among others are taking on exotic bets in Australian RUles Football.

PLACE BETS WITH CAUTION ON EXOTIC BETS

Don’t get swayed by the crazy nature of these exotic bets, since it usually takes luck (or more of it) to figure these bets out and expect a big payroll.

There might be some exotic bets that offer some value and potential to collect certain victories for your account, bettors are reminded that they find logic before taking the plunge on these kinds of bets to protect your bankroll.compressed schedule, then there are the starting pitchers and bullpens punters have to monitor hours before the game.

Bettors who are risk takers and have the money to burn can take on these novelty bets based on their amusement or entertaining value and maybe his familiarity to the event.

Placing your money based on chance is a dangerous logic to bet, thus start betting in small amounts first for these exotic bets to protect your bankroll if the losses do pile up.

The concept of a Grand Salami often leads to a delicious sandwich at a local deli, while its definition in sports betting may be just as enticing to adventurous bettors.

The total, or over/under bet, where bettors determine or predict the entire combined scores of every team in every game instead of determining the total of a single game is called the Grand Salami in sports betting.

This special kind of prop bet is offered for bettors in the National Hockey League (NHL) and Major League Baseball (MLB).

WATCH OUT FOR TOTAL GOALS IN NHL

When a punter bets on the total number of goals that will be scored on any particular evening in the NHL is also called Grand Salami.

For example, a triple-header NHL schedule in one night that involves Vancouver vs Minnesota, Chicago vs Anaheim, and Montreal vs Toronto will offer bettors low-scoring matches for the first two matchups while the last pairing has potential for more goals.

Let’s say the “Grand Salami” for the evening is at 16 goals. A bettor might take the under if the three games will all be defensive matches in nature. But if the bettor thinks there will be some goals scored, he might want to take the over.

The results will see Minnesota winning over Vancouver, 4-2, Montreal drubbing Toronto, 5-3; and Chicago edging Anaheim, 2-1. This means, there are 17 total goals for the night, which means the “over” on the Grand Salami would lead to a pay out.

BE CAREFUL ON MULTIPLE GAMES IN MLB

Let’s feature six random matches MLB matches with its over/unders, for example.

* Baltimore Orioles at Boston Red Sox 8.0

* Minnesota Twins at Chicago White Sox 8.5

* Seattle Mariners at Los Angeles Angels 7.5

* Philadelphia Phillies at Atlanta Braves 8.0

* Pittsburgh Pirates at St. Louis Cardinals 8.0

* San Diego Padres at Colorado Rockies 9.5

The total for the six games will result in 49.5 but oddsmakers say winds may be a factor at Coors field between the Padres against the Rockies.  This means that they raise the total to 54.5 for the slate, resulting in the odds as:

* Over 54.5 (-110)

* Under 54.5 (-110)

The Grand Salami in this schedule will see bettors getting the range of +100 to -120 but this depends on market action.

If the bettor picks the over just like the regular totals bet. he predicts that more than 126.5 runs will be scored on the slate as a whole.

WEATHER, GOALIES A FACTOR IN MLB, NHL ‘SALAMI’

Bettors should not just look for numbers if they want to succeed in winning the “Grand Salami.” Other non-statistical factors also come into play.

The weather conditions for outdoor matches in the MLB often play a factor, whether teams are used to playing in warmer or colder climates. Then there’s the long grind of traveling, if the players can manage their energy in a compressed schedule, then there are the starting pitchers and bullpens punters have to monitor hours before the game.

A physical contact sport like the NHL makes extra days of rest key to re-energize some players, the goalies’ performance should also be monitored, while the recent play of teams where they scored goals in bunches or struggled on offense should also be considered.

SMART CALCULATION, HANDICAPPING SKILLS DOES PAY OFF

Just like prop bets, bettors should never hesitate to pass up on the Grand Salami if the slate of games offers a lot of question marks to protect their bankroll.

It does not hurt if bettors consult the bookmaker they will be playing on for the distinct ins and outs of a massive slate of games.

If a bettor wants to boost his overall handicapping skills, he should apply these handicapping talents for a Grand Salami bet while considering many different variables on top of each individual game. Taking this route will improve a bettor’s overall knowledge in the long run.

Players from any sport cannot be blamed if they all agree that they are more relaxed and comfortable playing before their home fans. Cheering fans backing up the home team are not lost among the sports betting circles, with bookmakers recognizing that edge and raising the odds for bettors to convince that they have a sure winner.

Not all teams win every game on their home floor, but it raises their probabilities of emerging victorious instead of traveling on hostile territory. This is what home field advantage is all about.

The advantage home teams enjoy over visiting teams in almost every sport is basically called the home field advantage. From football to baseball to basketball and hockey, a loud crowd usually pumps up the hosts and lures more bettors to place their money on a sure bet.

PSYCHOLOGICAL EDGE, HOME COMFORTS CRUCIAL

Pessimists can always dismiss the homecourt advantage, saying that teams play basically with the exact measurements of a basketball court, stadium or arena in any part of the world that gives both teams equal chances of winning. But bookmakers, just like the home crowd, beg to disagree.

There are intangible factors, or non-physical aspects, that spur players on home teams to perform beyond their capabilities regardless of their position in the standings. Courts may be almost the same arena, but players are still particular on team facilities where they are more comfortable to practice and play.

The luxury of having no long hours of traveling and being comfortable in your home’s time zone are also big factors for players, aspects that sportsbooks are also particular with, especially if these teams have a distinct home record compared to its performance on the road.

HOME MLB TEAMS CARRY MORE THAN 50% SUCCESS

In a sport where all teams travel a lot for their regular season games, teams winning more than half of their matches in front of their fans can be a big deal, especially for bettors who place their money on their favorite teams.

Home teams won 52.94% of their home games, resulting in a 1,286-1143 win-loss record in the 2019 season, where teams played a total of 2,429 games.

Bettors should also be mindful of the pitching rotation of their favorite teams, as this determines how their team fares in the field they will be playing in and weather conditions players are more comfortable in.

FEWER GAMES, MORE SPOTLIGHT IN NFL

Unlike in the MLB, focus is tight on the limited number of games in the NFL as bettors pounce on any small detail to handicap their bets or make extensive research for their future bets.

There were 256 games played by all NFL teams in over 17 weeks of football in the 2020 NFL season just before the pandemic got worse around the world. The home teams back then carried a 127-128-1 record, resulting in a 49.61% win rate.

Before the pandemic, the home teams were 132-123-1, or a 51.56% winning rate, making the sub-500 winning percentage for home teams in the 2020 season as the first time in NFL history that the number dipped.

LONG STRETCHES OF HOME GAMES VITAL IN NBA

The NBA has a longer regular season than the NFL but still fewer than an MLB season, The long stretches of teams playing at home or being away on the road are vital to their overall performance should they battle for higher seeding for the playoffs.

Home teams posted a 729-501 record out of 1,230 games played during the 2018-19 season, resulting in the home team winning 59.27% of the time. The numbers here are vastly different from those in the NFL, with hoop stars showing more comfort without longer travel time, hotel stays and dealing with hostile fans.

But punters should still weigh on their handicapping process, as they have to consider the overall capabilities and weaknesses of each team.

Two teams that are evenly matched based on lineups will only get separation from sportsbooks due to the home field advantage, while the best team in the league that plays on the road and visits the worst team playing at home may still get that victory in most situations.

The normal depiction of a “layoff” is for an employee being removed by his or her employer from work due to a company’s mismanagement issues or a bad financial situation. The concept of a “layoff” in sports betting is quite different but it’s also not totally depicted in a positive way.

A sportsbook that places a wager with another bookmaker to help cut its liability on a certain game or to just balance out the action is called a “layoff.”

Let’s check out as to why sportsbooks try to avoid a layoff as much as possible in critical times, inasmuch as bookies cannot ap[pear to be weak and vulnerable in front of their users.

WHEN BOOKMAKERS NEED EACH OTHER TO SURVIVE

The rise of multiple sportsbooks around the world may get new bettors to assume that they come up with the smartest promotions and bonus offers, as well as the best odds to top the other and gain more profit. But there are time the bookies come around to help each other to cope with a barrage of bets.

Picture an overwhelming favorite like the Boston Celtics during the 1960s and 1970s, and they were sure bets to win the NBA championship every year back then. When almost all of the bettors place their money on a sportsbook, a certain fear goes into the bookie, knowing that an eventual Boston win will have them lose a great amount of money.

To avoid this, sportsbooks go to another sportsbook to place a big bet on the Celtics to try and even out the money just in case the public was right on the money with their pick.

DISTRACT BETTORS AWAY FROM POPULAR BETS

A star-studded team like the 2008 Celtics led by Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and a rising point guard in Rajon Rondo were just too much for bettors to ignore from not winning a championship immediately in their first year.

For situations like these, sportsbooks often place unfavorable odds for these teams that are almost certain to be a lock of winning to protect their profits. Bettors then will be forced to place a huge amount of money down, which creates high risks for punters and scare them away from making their bet.

Bookies also put out spreads on games giving a team a certain edge or disadvantage on a game, which tends to even the betting field. And lastly, bookmakers do move the line in one direction or the other to try to lure the bettor to go in another direction, which can help ensure that there is a near splot on the action.

BETTORS SHOULD MANAGE SPORTSBOOK LAYOFF ACCOUNT

Even if a bettor is convinced that he has a popular bet for him to win, he should learn to create layoff rules and keep things in perspective. A punter should be smart enough to decide if laying off 100 US dollars to ensure he earns 10 US dollars is smarter than not laying off and hoping he loses.

Punters should always remember that they do not get juice, or vig, on moneyline bets. Instead, bettors should manage moneyline bets by capping how much players can wager. A bettor can use their layoff account as a betting account, and some punters can succeed in this set-up but this can also be a slippery slope.

For a sports betting bookie, he or she can get caught up making more wages than managing their business, which can lead to more problems than trying to figure out when and when not to use that layoff account.

BOOKIES AVOID LAYOFF BETS ON PUNTERS

Most sportsbooks avoid placing a layoff bet since a layoff bet is possible from the sportsbooks. The bookies still believe that they can get back their money every time the majority of the bettors are wrong with their popular bets.

Most established bookmakers have the bankroll to take a hit when the public gets it right on a popular bet winning it all. But it’s still a flip of the coin scenario, since the majority is not always right in terms of sticking to popular choices, a risk bookies are ready to take.

Sure, bookmakers collect the 10% fee on vig to pay off winning bets, but it can only pay so much if many bettors win. But massive wagers like something worth 1 million US dollars prompt bookmakers to place a security blanket and go for a layoff with another sportsbook.
