NEED ONE ANSWER FOR BETTING HANDICAP?
Both teams MUST play for the BET to count.
Dota 2 - Handicap
A "handicap" is used in Dota 2 betting to even the odds between two unevenly matched teams. Each team is given a point total by the oddsmaker that can either be added or subtracted to the final score, thus factoring into if the BET was won or lost.
For example: LGD (-1.5) vs Orange (+1.5)
In this Best of 3 match up. If you would BET on LGD (-1.5) this means LGD MUST beat Orange 2:0, thus covering the handicap/spread. If you BET Orange (+1.5), they can lose by 1, or simply win straight up to win the BET.
In a Best of 5 Match Up - a -1.5 Handicap would work the same way.
LGD Has to win 3-0 or 3-1 for you to win the BET.
Both teams MUST play for the BET to count.
What if LGD wins 2-1 ?
Would then be winners Orange?
ANSWERS:
Yes.
You wrote "If you bet Orange (+1.5), they can lose by 1, or simply win straight up to win the bet."
So if LGD wins 2-1, then Orange lost by 1, didn't they?
Charles asks...
IS THE CONTENT OF BET RACIST?
meaning are there any racist programmes on BET
no not the title BET.is what they show or talk about racist any type of race bashing
if it was called urban entertainment television would there be less problems
ANSWERS:
Having a network that caters strictly to a specific target audience is not racist the name BET stands for Black Entertainment Television they're not pretending to target anyone else but they don't exclude other races from appearing on the network either. To be racist people have to be banned and mistreated and or misrepresented. I'm white and i occasionally watch it, it's not my favorite but just like scifi channel they get something good every once in a while and i've never seen anything really racist on there. So i'd have to say no.

Life is filled with obstacles and challenges. No matter how much you plot and plan, stuff happens that you think is not supposed to happen.
Your car breaks down; a cop gives you a speeding ticket; or your boss micro-manages everything that you do. These are obstacles that prevent us from doing what we were intending to do. A perfect example of an obstacle is what we are experiencing in Colorado right now: wildfires. Here in Colorado Springs, over 500 people lost their homes and everything they owned in the Black Forest Fire. We hold them in our hearts with compassion and understanding.
OBSTACLES AND CHALLENGES ARE THE FOUNDATIONS OF STORYTELLING.
Fires and other obstacles are what stories are made of. Without the bad guy, James Bond is just a handsome guy in a tuxedo. Without aliens from outer space, the Avengers are just a bunch of weirdos in Halloween costumes.
And without the Iceberg, the Titanic is simply a story about a cruise ship crossing the Atlantic.
Because we seem to learn more when things go wrong than when things go right, it's important to know HOW to portray the Iceberg Moment in your story.
THE ICEBERG MOMENT IS THE TURNING POINT IN YOUR STORY.
It's the moment when you encounter the obstacle, (Step Four of The Nine Steps of Story Structure). Up until that moment, everything is going according to plan. Consider the movie, "Titanic".
The movie starts with the ship in port. People are arriving in fancy carriages, luggage is being hoisted onto the decks and Leonardo DiCaprio's character is playing poker.
Once the ship leaves port, it's a big party. Everyone is having fun and Kate Winslet and Leonardo are falling in love. Everything is going according to plan until the Iceberg Moment. At that moment, the story takes a dramatic turn and people react.
In reality, no matter what the situation is, when we encounter the obstacle or challenge in our lives, we react. The first level of reaction is usually emotional: anger, frustration, shock, sadness, denial, resentment, disbelief, etc. In the movies, it usually involves a close-up.
The close-up in a movie is used to focus on the character processing this new information and deciding what to do about it. A close-up can last from five to ten seconds. It is filled with emotion.
The Iceberg Moment in your story should start with an emotional reaction as well. The technique I teach for this moment is called Hold the Moment.
THE ICEBERG MOMENT IS A STOP SIGN.
It's as if you're driving across town to an appointment and you're hitting green light after green light. When you encounter the obstacle or challenge, however, it's a red light. Everything stops for a few seconds. There are no words or explanation. You simply stop and react.
Think about one of your stories right now. Think about the time leading up to the obstacle or challenge. If you've constructed your story correctly using The Nine Steps, you started off on your journey with every expectation that things would go according to plan. And then the plan changed. Something that you couldn't have foreseen happened: the obstacle, crisis or challenge.
If you can recall that moment in time, you probably froze for a few brief seconds. Time stood still during that moment as you processed the situation. You probably experienced one of the emotions listed above.
Your story pivots on this moment. It changes from an ordinary story about an ordinary day to a story about a challenging day - a day with an important lesson learned. Because this is the pivotal moment in your story, you need to understand where it is and what to do to portray it.
The other day I saw a woman riding her bike. She slipped on some loose pebbles and fell hard on the ground. When she hit the ground she just laid there for a few seconds without moving. It was an Iceberg Moment. After about five seconds, she moved. She slowly got up and checked herself and her bike for damage. Those five seconds on the ground were a full stop. If the woman were telling the story, this would be the place for her to hold the moment.
I recently got a call from a client who was very excited about the program he saw me present at the American Society of Training and Development conference in Dallas in May. He asked me if I had the eLearning version of my Storytelling in Business Methodology. He wanted it for a virtual workforce of 100 people who are spread out across the world.
It was an Iceberg Moment for me. Up to that moment, my day was going fine. I was making phone calls, creating workbooks and talking to coaching clients on the phone. At that moment, however, I encountered the obstacle. It was a full stop. I knew I needed to make a change in my business model.
When I hung up the phone, I just sat there at my desk in silence. I was angry with myself for letting short-term busyness get in the way of long-term product development.
For years I've been planning to get around to developing an eLearning system. I even went into a TV studio last year and recorded 38 video learning modules for just that purpose.
The answer to his question was "NO, I do not have an eLearning version available." And because the answer was NO, he moved on and I lost an opportunity to expand the reach of my business at that time. The Iceberg Moment has caused me to reorder my priorities, and I am now in the process of working with an eLearning designer to create the Next Level Storytelling Video eLearning System.
THE ICEBERG MOMENT TURNS YOUR STORY AROUND.
After the Titanic crashed into the iceberg, the story changed. It became a story of survival. For the rest of the story, we witnessed people in distress. Some peoples' responses were honorable and noble while others' were selfish and mean. The story leading up to the Iceberg Moment introduced the characters and their relationships. The story after the Iceberg Moment revealed what kind of people they really were.
It's a fact - we learn more about how to deal with life when things go wrong than when things go right. Develop the stories from your life where things got tense, messy or downright disastrous. When you encounter the pivotal Iceberg Moment, Hold the Moment to increase the power of your story.

To say that I am not a big believer in those 'power of positive thinking' self-help seminars is to understate my feelings.
My exposure to them has been blessedly limited to a couple of work sessions in which charlatans outside experts were brought in to help us think our way out of tough situations. Like having aging technology and no money to invest in our products or marketing, in a market where all our competitors had shiny new products and deep pockets. Problems that, as any savvy business person knows, can be easily overcome by thinking lovely thoughts. (Think outside the poor-box, ladies and gentlemen!)
Would it surprise you to learn that my role at these bullshit off-sites incredible opportunities to learn was to play devil's advocate?
It's over a decade since I last participated in such torture an engrossing event, yet I can still recall exactly how I felt being there.
Much earlier, when I was in college, a friend and I went to an introductory Scientology seminar. When they brought out the e-meter - a black box that looked something like a Geiger counter with a couple of Donald Duck juice cans connected to it - used to detect someone's "basic" (i.e., the thing in their life that is holding them back) we were laughing so hard we almost fell off of our chairs. At which point the person conducting the session announced that, because he had gone up several rungs on the L. Ron Hubbard ladder, he was now sharp enough to detect that there was some hostility in the audience. (Since even without the benefits of Scientology, my friend and I were already capable of detecting hostility, we fled before the sicced the goon squad on us.)
Which is not to say that Tony Robbins, a renowned motivational speaker, has anything to do with Scientology. I have not reason to believe that he's clear or an Operating Thetan. (However, I would like to note that Tom Cruise has been referred to as Scientology's Tony Robbins.)
What Tony Robbins is is enormously successful, and part of his schtick is firewalking, which is a highlight of his "Unleash the Power Within" seminars.
Firewalking, for those unfamiliar with it, is an ancient ritual in which people walk over a bed of hot coals without getting burned. It may sound like a big deal, but mostly it's not.
As I learned from the Discovery Network:
Firewalking is an ancient practice, part of spiritual and religious traditions around the world. Today, it's also become part of leadership retreats and management seminars. The basic theme is mind over matter -- with enough confidence or spiritual training, the fire can't hurt you. And while people who firewalk often report feeling a sense of empowerment or spiritual progress, there's also a physical explanation for what's happening.
...Typically, firewalking takes place on a bed of wood embers that have burned down, coating themselves with a thick layer of ash. This ash acts like an insulator, making it harder for the coals to transfer their heat to the walkers' feet. It's like the difference between sticking your finger straight into a cup of hot coffee and wrapping your hand around your coffee mug.
Time is also a factor. Firewalkers tend to move at a brisk pace. They don't run -- so their feet don't dig down into the coals -- but their feet don't spend a lot of time in contact with the embers, either. While they're in contact, the coals raise the temperature of the firewalker's feet through conduction. But since the firewalker quickly moves his or her feet away from the coals, the temperature of the skin typically doesn't have time to rise to a point that it causes injury.
This doesn't make firewalking foolproof, though.
And it's not Tony Robbins-proof, either.
After a recent day of unleashing the power within, a number of the 6,000 (yes, 6,000) participants decided to take a midnight walk on the wild side. 21 people were treated for burns, some for second- and third-degree burns. Three of them were hospitalized.
"I heard wails of pain, screams of agony," one of the attendees, Jonathan Correll, 25, told the Mercury News.
One woman seemed to be in so much pain "it was horrific," he added.
"It was people seriously hurting, like they were being tortured," the newspaper quoted Correll as saying. "First one person, then a couple minutes later another one, and there was just a line of people walking on that fire. It was just bizarre, man." (Source: US News/MSNBC)
Robbins released a statement about how they had been "safely providing this experience for more than three decades...in the safest way possible" blah, di, blah, blah.
And of course the true believers didn't have the same impression as Jonathan Correll.
"Overcoming something like that, it's a breakthrough," Henry Guasch, 19, told the Mercury News. Guasch added that he got a minor burn when he slowed his pace in the middle of the field.
Guasch and another participant, Andrew Brenner, told the newspaper that faith and concentration were the keys to not getting singed.
Oh, ye of little faith. You're the ones that get your soul-less soles singed.
Slate weighed in on the hot-foot:
If you stand on a hot coal for too long instead of moving quickly or if there are any bits of metal, wood, or sap (which are better thermal conductors than coal) in the fire, you could get burned. The same is true if a hot piece of coal gets stuck to your foot during the walk. The scope of Robbins' firewalk in San Jose-6,000 people sharing a dozen 10-foot-long lanes of coals-might have made it more likely for firewalkers to get held up on the coals, increasing their chance of being injured. (Most traditional firewalking rituals involve only one dozen to two dozen people on a single lane of coals.) Also, minor burns and blisters are common results of even successful firewalking.
As for whether your mental state impacts how gets burned:
Robbins has written that "people change their physiology by changing their beliefs," and one of the burned firewalkers interviewed by the "San Jose Mercury News" explained his injury by saying that he "didn't get into the right state." But physicists and anthropologists who have participated in firewalks deny that any particular state of mind is required for successful firewalking, so long as the coals are properly prepared and you don't stay in the fire too long.
I don't suppose this will tarnish any of the glow...
And while I doubt I'll ever pay Tony Robbins to unleash the power within me. But if I do, I think I'll keep my shoes on.

The best way to make a woman fall in love with you is to be straightforwardly yourself. When a girl torrent for the real you she is the superintendent. Lavish this helps. best desires.
I pipe dream I can help you, I'm not a capricorn but I'm close, I'm an aquarius.
I would fall in love since person concerned shows that they inevitable care for me and it not that buy me banquet and give me great sex, but the romantic make an objection.
And No, top figure capricorn that I inform aren't golddiggers.

Self-sufficient, smart, cute, good sence of humor, shadowy hide shadowy eyes...no i wouldnt imagine in my opinion a goldigger at all.
