Has Anyone Bet Simulated Sports?

Two of my outs have recently added simulated sports betting on Madden NFL20, NBA 2K20 and MLB The Show20. Looks interesting but finding scores and watching the games isn’t so clear cut. Seems you must go through Twitch.com which is connected with other books. Anyone have any experience or advice to offer? Seems like this is really taking off.

Twitch is just the channel to watch it on. It’s not a gambling site.

Personally I couldn’t bet on any of these. It’s basically betting on a video game.

I wondered the same thing as OLDSANDBAGGER. I don't think I would be interested in betting, but would like to maybe watch a couple .

Twitch is an app. You watch streams on there. Sometimes the people simming them, the stream buffers but rarely. I bet over 10 on a baseball game at bookmaker and won. The days before bet Clippers against Lakers in nba2k20 and they got smoked. Lakers seem to be unreal in the game.

I would prefer they sim games in a season mode so we can get some type of edge but it is what it is. Bookmaker is definitely live doing all the sims. A lot of shit can happen just like in real life to cash or llse your bet. Pick 6 at end of a football game or fumble... entertaining to say the least.

Big moves by 3 or more points are always happening in the NBA games offered but as far as I can tell, its basically 50 50 still. The team that was destroying were the Lakers. The guy in charge adjusted the numbers for those games. Lakers are favored by 25.5 against Grizz today.

primetimeaction is bookmakers stream on twitch then you just put mlb or nba to end (primetimeactionmlb etc..) to watch that sport. Sometimes they go live 5 minutes before or 10 or longer before the scheduled game.

Some of the rosters aren't updated either especially if you're playing Madden '20 as Tom Brady is still a member of the Patriots.

Thanks for the Input. I did read that for Madden NFL the rosters are all from last season not including subsequent trades, waivers, etc.
 
The other option are bets on "Fonbet" that are used by 5Dimes and Heritage. Those are really hard to cap because they use 2017 rosters. I remember seeing some bizarre betting lines so I went to watch the "action" and saw it was NHL17 because guys who have been through 3 other clubs since then were still in their old spots.

Only 5 dimes has updated rosters in madden. Brady on Bucs. Hopkins on Cardinals. I believe.

I saw that Wildbill, nhl17. Too far back...

We are just learning on the fly like everyone else. IMO this will be beatable for another month or so if you do your homework (run tons of your own simulations) but after that the numbers will be pretty tight across the board.

the twitch feeds are hilarious but you do get that self realization that sort of "omg Im in this community!"

opened or I thought I saw it listed yesterday at 25.5 so some "smart" or value steam down for some reason
Could be smart could be guys that just blindly think 25.5 is too high. I'm betting on the latter and laying 23.5 lol. Just from what I've seen these games can be real blowouts. The players aren't prima donnas on the video game like real life and play to the rating the whole time as apposed to the real game. Blowouts they will pull the starters much like a real game though.

Whoever was playing as the Kings on Twitch was AWESOME! Lost only 1 game and went something like 10-1/11-1 and most games flew OVER and usually by the Kings total alone. Played a few times but it's not like limits are the same as a normal game

10 min quarters but One long TD whether its a run or pass or turnover for TD can hurt a total of 40 at bookmaker, if you're on under. Teams still go for it in 4th on their own 25 even if they might be down 2 TDs or more....
 
Some are entertaining to watch. I'm not so degenerate to bet on them, but simulated hockey (not where people are actually playing the teams) can be somewhat entertaining. You can see in the stats though its not a real game, teams are getting off like 60-70 shots in games where there is a real clock being used.

Lakers are just too damn good in Nba2k20.

The hockey on IceTilt has been great. Killed them with vegas and vancouver 1st rd of playoffs. Too bad they faceoff next rd.

Which is a case of art imitating life; they are too damn good, period.

The Market was way off on these guys and I say that because I believe their O/U Season Wins closed at ~50. This is a perfect example of Markets going episodically haywire,

You see here it on the forum with guys who don't understand the following:

1. Their Prior on UniBron was way off
2. They were piss poor at updating that Prior

It's irrational to expect human beings to always behave rationally but that this was a major market miss that I shall speak about for years to come.

Texans destroyed Jags earlier today 42-13. Wish Watson could put up numbers like he did on a regular basis.

No idea unlucky. You have to keep track yourself. They show the games from yesterday but only up to a certain point (i believe)

I am firing today on a game at bovada. I am taking my shot. Giants at Packers...

I know twitch goes back about 5 or 6 days if you go to the football and baseball links but shows full replays. Might want to try and do a search and when it finds the game fast forward to near the end of the showing. On average these games take about an hour and 40 to complete because of streaming the next game, unless of course it's the last game of the day. A 9 inning game at Fenway between the Yankees and Red Sox days ago in which NY won 15-8, took 2.5 hours, equivalent to 4.5 if it took place live today.
