Bitcoin Forum

I'm looking for a site where i can bet BTC on CSGO games for Win/Loss?
I know about nitrogenbets but they it's a bit complicated for me
Idk which one of those options mean win/loss
It says stuff like +1.5 2.37 -1.5 164 like what does that even mean
Anyone know any site or wanna explain how nitrogenbet thing works to me?

Thanks

+1.5 is the handicap

You want the section for win/loss which is money line search for ML

ML 3.535(+253)
ML 1.280(-357)

What does that mean?
I'm guessing 3.535 is the winning odds, but that's that in the brackets

The handicaps are for the map advantage +1.5 means the said team needs only to win 1 map if you're going on -1.5 the team needs to sweep the match 2-0  sometimes you will also see map1 then it has -4.5 thats the round handicap where the opposing team wont be reaching more than 12 rounds on that map.
Can i ask which csgo match are you betting on?

All of them  ::)
Just gonna bet whatever pays most
Idk might work

Nitrogensports is one of the best sportsbook sites accepting crypto. They have a great UI and have relatively good odds. They allow bets on almost all big eSports tournaments/games.

You've checked vegascasino.io? some time ago I saw one user on this forum post stakes related ploy in esport,  srgkrgkj (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1410548.msg14951858#msg14951858) he placed a bet on vegascasino.io and this site accept  deposit / withdrawal bitcoin maybe you can try it out or check in advance good lauck guys  :)

Could you please explain that again in easier terms ^^ I'm still confused by the exact question the OP asked, I read what you said but still I'm confused.

Let's say teams A and B are playing.

You bet on team A +1.5 map advantage

At the end, the score between A and B is 1-2, where A has won one map and B has won two maps.

But since you bet on A +1.5, 1.5 is added to A's score.

So it now is 2.5-2 instead of 1-2, and since 2.5>2, A wins.

Basically: You add the handicap/advantage to the team's score.

Round handicap would be the same but for rounds on a map instead.
If team A wins 16-14, but you have a handicap of -3.5 for A, it becomes 12.5-14 and you lose your bet.

Sometimes there can also be an extra handicap, e.g. if a team losses by x or more, then the gambling site pays out people who bet on that team, not the people that bet on the winning team.

Isn't that the american odds format (as opposed to decimal odds)? I'm surprised nobody has mentioned it... Because honestly, who would give a team a handicap of +253. :P

Enjoy it ! xD

i did some research and i found only nitrogensports that let's you bet on esports using bitcoins, and yes it is pretty hard for me too to gamble there

nitrogen is pretty much the best and safest place to play anything imo

The +1.5 is just like baseball you can take the money line which means
your team has to win or you can take +1.5 meaning that if your team loses
by 1 your still win your bet. The problem with the +1.5 you wont ever get great
odds. Alot of times the favorite is -150 but if you take the +1.5 the underdog is
now -150 cause your getting the extra 1.5.  Its safer to play the +1.5 games but
your getting much worse odds if you like the underdog to just win.

As everyone has already mentioned Nitrogensports is the only well known site to allow you to bet on CS:Go games.
But BetBTC also has a category for esports so they more than likely have this option to bet on those matches as well. You can try them. I found them from this forum so just do a search. ;)

i think its a BO3 game, means the other team needs to 2-0 the other one to win the -1.5 match.
