Best Rainbow Six Siege Games to Wager on Friday, December 23rd

Arial Arise Academy vs Parabellum Esports 

Arial Arise Academy had a fairly bumpy road through the SCS Season 7 group stage. They kicked off the tournament with a painful 6-8 defeat against Wichita Wolves, then found success against Lycus Empire (7-4) and Arial Arise (8-6), lost against Luminosity Gaming (1-2), but edged out a crucial win in the fifth round against Investigation File to book a spot in the playoffs.

Parabellum Esports had a much more straightforward path through the group stage, but they as well started with a loss against S2 Esports (3-7). Still, a minor mishap didn’t stop Parabellum Esports from winning the final three bouts against Collegiate Connoisseurs (7-3), Astralis (7-4), and Vipers eSports (2-0).

Despite looking fairly weak in the group stage, Arial Arise Academy showed up in the quarterfinals with a dominant 2-0 sweep of S2 Esports, who they beat 7-5 and 7-3.

And while we’re still talking about a victory against a lesser team, S2 Esports looked unstoppable during the group stage, so we have to show some respect to Arian Arise Academy for their success.

Likewise, Parabellum showed up in the quarters with a dominant victory against Luminosity, who they beat 7-5, 7-5, but their victory was far less impressive than Arial Arise Academy’s, granted that’s because we didn’t have high expectations for Arial Arise.

On paper, Parabellum Esports look like the most likely victors but based on what we’ve seen from the teams recently. This should be a closely contested affair, so at plus money, it’s hard to pass on a bet on Arial Arise Academy, who have shown enough to earn our trust.

Prediction: Arial Arise Academy to win

Oxygen Esports vs Wichita Wolves 

Oxygen Esports completed the SCS Season 7 group stage with a perfect 3-0 record. They demolished HK Rebels (7-2), added another dominant victory against Arial Arise (7-1), and then swept Luminosity Gaming (2-0).

Even in the first round of the playoffs, Oxygen Esports showed no weakness and crushed Astralis 7-1, 7-2, establishing themselves as serious candidates to win the whole thing. Their next opponents, Wichita Wolves, have had a far less convincing group stage run.

They finished the tournament’s opening stage with a 3-2 record, which includes wins against Arial Arise Academy, HK Rebels, and Six Karma, but also two painful defeats against Luminosity (3-7) and Reality TV (0-2).

SCS Season 7 has seen plenty of upsets, and many lesser teams delivered more than many expected of them, but this bout looks like it can only end one way.

Oxygen Esports are evidently too good for the competition, which is hardly shocking knowing that they claimed silver from NAL Season 2022 and reached the semifinals of Six Charlotte Major 2022. 

Wichita Wolves, on the other side, have not even appeared in NAL, and their best result was winning NACL 2022 – Stage 1. Expect another dominant victory from Oxygen Esports.

Prediction: Oxygen Esports -1.5 maps

MyBookie returns with free esports betting previews and predictions for a pair of Rainbow Six Siege Jönköping Major fixtures. Here are our eSports Betting picks for Team BDS vs. Spacestation Gaming and CYCLOPS athlete gaming vs. MnM Gaming, who will meet on Monday, November 21.

Top Rainbow Six Siege Games to Wager on Tuesday, May 17th

Team BDS vs Spacestation Gaming

Group C will feature Team BDS, Spacestation gaming, FURY, and w7m Esports, forming a very interesting set of games with no clear strongest team. FURY are undeniably the weakest team in Group C, but also a team that will dictate who makes it out alive. In other words, whichever team loses to FURY will crash out.

As for the remaining teams, mainly BDS and Spacestation, they seem fairly evenly matched. We would, however, give Team BDS a slight edge for this bout, mainly because they seem like a more stable team.

BDS and Spacestation are strong defensively, but we’ve seen BDS drop far fewer games than they should’ve won. Interestingly, the two teams have never met before, so we have no H2H records to look at. Still, we can see that BDS are in much better shape.

They won Japan Invitational – 2022 earlier this month, placed third in European League – Season 2022, finished runners-up at European League 2022 – Stage 3, and claimed the Gamers8 2022 title in August. We still wouldn’t say that BDS are one of the main favorites to win it all, but they seem like a much more consistent and ultimately better team than Spacestation.

Prediction: Team BDS to win

CYCLOPS athlete gaming vs MnM Gaming

CYCLOPS athlete gaming and MnM Gaming have both been placed in Group A alongside Dragons and Soniqs, which makes for a very interesting pairing, mainly because three of the four teams have never before made it out of the R6S Major group stage.

But at first glance, it’s more than fair to say that Soniqs will be the team to go 2-0, leaving just one more spot for the remaining three squads to fight for.

Knowing that this match will be extremely important for MnM and CYCLOPS, as a defeat could spell serious problems, getting one of the two squads just one step away from elimination. According to the latest odds, MnM are the favorites, and there are good reasons to believe that is true.

Even though it wouldn’t be too shocking to see CYCLOPS win, they’re not a team you would trust on the international stage. They have looked good this season but lack the experience to be trusted to deliver internationally.

That doesn’t necessarily mean that MnM will make it out alive and be the second team to qualify for the playoffs – that will likely be Black Dragons e-Sports – but they’re definitely in a better spot than MnM.

That said, MnM are prone to losing games they shouldn’t and are – similar to CYCLOPS – not a very trustworthy team. While stronger on paper, MnM can easily lose on Monday. We view this match to be fairly close to 50/50, so we’ll take CYCLOPS to cause an upset at plus money.

Prediction: CYCLOPS athlete gaming to win

MyBookie’s free esports betting tips and predictions for this week focuses on a pair of Six Charlotte Major 2022 matches on Tuesday, May 17th.

Here are our eSports Betting picks and predictions for Dire Wolves vs Oxygen Esports and CYCLOPS athlete gaming vs FURIA, who will meet on the final day of the group stage.

Top Rainbow Six Siege Games to Wager on Tuesday, May 17th

Dire Wolves vs Oxygen Esports

• When: Tuesday, May 17th, 2:50 p.m. EDT

Dire Wolves hail from APAC, which is not considered to be a very strong region in the Rainbow Six esports scene. So it’s only fair for the online betting sites to have them priced as +150 underdogs.

But while Dire Wolves are viewed as one of the weaker teams at the Major, this is actually a very solid squad. Throughout 2022, Dire Wolves have attended three tournaments, and they have not placed worse than top three.

That includes titles from APAC South 2022 – Stage 1 and Operation League Taiwan Season 7 and a bronze medal from APAC League 2022 Playoffs – Stage 1. Admittedly, their achievements came mostly within the APAC region, but we wouldn’t underestimate Dire Wolves as a team that can cause some serious damage in Charlotte.

Oxygen Esports didn’t win much last year, and they have yet to impress this season. Still, they placed top-eight at Six Invitational and entered the Major as the second-seeded team from NAL. As the more recognized team, fielding well-known players, Oxygen will naturally be viewed as the superior squad, but they haven’t shown enough for us to recommend a bet on them.

On paper, Oxygen look stronger, but Dire Wolves are good enough cause an upset and are a solid bet at outsider odds.

Prediction: Dire Wolves to win 

CYCLOPS athlete gaming vs FURIA

• When: Tuesday, May 17th, 8:40 p.m. EDT

CYCLOPS athlete gaming are +120 underdogs for their clash with FURIA, which sounds fair, not because CYCLOPS athlete gaming are weak, but rather because FURIA have simply shown more so far this season. 

Admittedly, FURIA are by no means the top Brazilian R6 team, but they have done enough to earn respect. In February, FURIA placed top-12 at Six Invitational 2022 and have since placed fourth at Brasileirão 2022 – Stage 1 and finished third in the Copa Elite Six – Season 2022: Stage 1.

On the other side, CYCLOPS could only manage a 17th-20th place finish at Six Invitational. They have since claimed bronze from APAC North 2022 – Stage 1, a title at Japan League 2022 – Season 1 – Regular Season, and ended APAC League 2022 Playoffs – Stage 1 as runners-up.

Since Group B also features XSET and Team Liquid, FURIA and CYCLOPS can’t afford to lose this bout, or else they are all but guaranteed not to make it to the next stage. However, if we assume that both teams will be playing at their best, it’s hard to make a case for CYCLOPS.

They were one of the top teams in APAC, but CYCLOPS don’t come off as a team that can upset big squad such as FURIA. They’re good and consistent, but CYCLOPS’s ceiling is fairly limited, which might be a problem on Tuesday.

Prediction: FURIA to win

MyBookie brings you free Rainbow Six Siege betting picks and predictions for a pair of Six Sweden Major 2021 bouts. Here are our betting picks for Team Vitality vs DarkZero Esports and FaZe Clan vs Oxygen Esports, who will cross paths on Monday, November 8.

Here is everything you need to know about the upcoming Rainbow Six Siege matches with all the information you’ll need to place bets on eSports Betting Odds.

Top R6S Games to Wager on Monday, November 8

Team Vitality vs DarkZero Esports

• When: Monday, November 8 – 10:00 CEST

Team Vitality and DarkZero Esports will clash on Monday, November 8, in the first round of Group B at Six Sweden Major 2021. Team Vitality enter the match billed as the favorites, which makes a lot of sense, even though they have yet to meet with DarkZero.

The Bees have made it to the Sweden Major as one of Europe’s top teams, and while they haven’t won any of the three European League stages, Vitality have done well enough to earn our respect.

They have placed seventh in the first stage, fifth in the second stage, third in the third stage, and ended the season in fifth place, with a solid 10-6-2-9 record and 44 points. That sat them tied with G2 Esports in fourth, only three points short of the third-placed Natus Vincere.

Similarly, DarkZero Esports have done well for themselves, albeit they have achieved less than their European counterparts. DarkZero placed sixth in the first NA stage and fourth in the second and third stage.

However, DarkZero have also attended the Six Invitational 2021 and Six Mexico Major, where they finished 13th-16th and fifth-eighth, respectively. Again, it’s not exactly groundbreaking results, but it’s worth noting that DarkZero were eliminated from the Six Mexico Major by the eventual champions, Team oNe.

Admittedly, DarkZero haven’t achieved much in the year; however, they have improved drastically with the addition of the two-time Six Invitational champion, Troy “Canadian” Jaroslawski. The 25-year-old has joined the team in September and played a crucial role in DarkZero’s resurgence in recent weeks.

DarkZero are by no means one of the top contenders to win the Sweden Major, but neither are Vitality, who haven’t been looking too sharp of late.

Prediction: DarkZero Esports to win

FaZe Clan vs Oxygen Esports

• When: Monday, November 8 – 11:30 CEST

FaZe Clan are expected to defeat Oxygen Esports, which sounds right, even though there isn’t a lot to separate FaZe and Oxygen talent-wise.

FaZe Clan have had mixed results over the 2021 season; however, they have done enough. FaZe won the first stage of Brasileirão in April and have since placed second in Brasileirão 2021 – Stage 2 and Stage 3.

Adding to that, FaZe placed top-six at the Six Invitational 2021, where their only two losses came against the two finalists in Team Liquid (1-2) and the eventual champions, Ninjas in Pyjamas (0-2).

Thanks to their success, FaZe ended the season as the second-best Brazilian R6S team, with an imposing 16-4-3-4 record.

Oxygen Esports have achieved plenty of success domestically as well. They won NAL – 2021 Season – Stage 1 in April with a 4-2-1-1 record and finished top-six at the Six Invitational 2021, losing against TSM (0-2).

Towards the end of the season, Oxygen cooled down and managed only a sixth-place finish in NAL – 2021 Season – Stage 2, but found their stride for the last stage, where they placed second with 6-0-0-2.

FaZe, and Oxygen are two of the strongest teams in this group and two of the most likely to make it out alive – assuming Chiefs and Rogue won’t overperform. And while they’re almost guaranteed a promotion, losing this bout could have serious consequences.

We expect a closely-fought match and likely one of the most exciting games of the day. However, there has to be a winner, and if we had to pick a side, we would go with FaZe.

Their achievements over the season are by no means awe-inspiring but FaZe delivered when it mattered and were a bit unlucky to draw two of the top teams at the Six Invitational. What’s more, FaZe have either won or placed second in two Brasileirão 2021 stages and are easily the second-best team from the region.

Prediction: FaZe Clan to win

While live sports remain on the bench, we’ve got some big time things happening in Esports. The National Basketball Association also set the field for the 2020 NBA HORSE Challenge. Check out info on that as well as info on everything else going on this weekend!

Wagering Options for the Weekend April 10 – April 12

Sports Simulations

2020 NBA HORSE Challenge

The tournament is comprised of 2 groups with 4 players each. If you’ve never played HORSE, its easy to understand. Each player gets a chance to make a shot. The players that follow must make the exact same shot. If they don’t, they accrue letters that spell the word HORSE. Once they accrue the final “E” in the word HORSE, they are eliminated from the competition.

Quarterfinals in the tournament take place on Sunday, April 12. The semifinals and championship take place next Thursday on April 16. ESPN will broadcast the tournament. Keep reading for more particulars!

Group 1 – Trae Young, Chauncey Billups, Tamika Catchings, Mike Conley Jr.

Atlanta Hawks sharpshooter Trae Young will go off the favorite. Why? If you make three-pointers, you should do well in HORSE. Remember, players must make the exact shot you make. With that being written, Tamika Catchings shot 35.5% from three while in the WNBA. That’s like what Young shoots and Tamika should go off the longest shot on the board.

Group 2 – Zach LaVine, Chris Paul, Paul Pierce, Allie Quigley

Dunks aren’t allowed. So, don’t go dumping on Zach because you think he can dunk his way to the championship. Instead, think about someone like Paul Pierce. How many games of HORSE has Pierce played while enjoying retirement? Also, Allie Quigley was awesome from three during her WNBA playing days.
