E-sports under one thread

[PlanetOfBets]

Esports (also known as eSports, e-sports, competitive (video) gaming, electronic sports, or pro-gaming) can be defined as a form of sports where the primary aspects of the sport are facilitated by electronic systems; the input of players and teams as well as the output of the eSports system are mediated by human-computer interfaces.[1] Most commonly eSports take the form of organized multiplayer video game competitions, particularly between professional players. The most common video game genres associated with esports are real-time strategy, fighting, first-person shooter (FPS), and multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA). Tournaments such as The International, the League of Legends World Championship, the Battle.net World Championship Series, the Evolution Championship Series, and the Intel Extreme Masters, provide both live broadcasts of the competition, and prize money and salaries to competitors.

I share my prediction on dota 2 match. first match is F5 vs HR best of 3 and i pick F5. F5 roster is good and i think F5 can beat HR. second match is Navi vs Arcade, i'm navi fans and i'm sure navi can do this with their current roster.

I think esport should, and will eventually receive recognition it deserves. Soon it will be market bigger than many standard 'analog' sports imo.
There are already good places to bet on esports for BTC. Side thought: Op it is funny that you don't even bother to remove notes '[1]' from Wikipedia.

I don't understand, you will be using this thread to provide tips for E-Sports?
I like e-sports but I never bet on any events, I just watch some of them, from the games I play. But I would sure like to see the E-Sport market improve. It would bring more "fun" to the games, and they sure deserve it.

Some of them csgo matches get pretty intense. If you know the teams well predicting matches can be pretty profitable. I recommend if your playing any of these games to follow the pro scene and get to know the teams. You'll know the good bets when you see em.

Yes, but where can I bet on e-sports?

[badjacks99]

Well theres quite a few sites, Nitrogen is probably the best in my opinion. Nitrogen, betcoin.ag vitalbet for bitcoin 8esports for in game skin betting. There seems to be a bunch of new ones poping up. Theres even fantasy esports sites. Try google for more options. Good luck.

i'm suprised there isn't world of warcraft arena matches!

[badjacks99]

Not even familiar with that game whatsoever, only heard the name. Is that a pretty competitive game? Do they have professional players? if so theres gotta be some site out there that you can bet it. you can bet almost anything nowadays!

I'd like to bet for CS:GO games with Bitcoin but I couldn't find a good site. Can you name some of them? Which site do you trust most? I'd like to play at anonymous, no register required sites with instant withdrawals. Basically I'm looking for a site like Directbet with CS:GO bets.

[patt0]

Have you tried betcoin.ag? I know they have a selection with e-sports maybe you can get it there.
There was a thread were users shared sites that accepted e-sports betting, but I can't find it now. I know betcoin.ag was one of them, but there were some that were really specialized in that.

As far as no account needed I have not seen a site that compares direct bet. I'd say your best bet is nitrogen sports. If it's your first time going to the site you have the option to create an account or continue anonymously.but it will still be an account where you have to save the information, so you're better off just creating your own anyway. In my opinion nitrogens the safest book anyway. I've been using it since start up and have never had a problem.

Problem with esports is the amount of inconsistencies and riggings that take place. Lag, disconnections, cancellations.

There is a good edge in lines though if you know what you're betting on. Seen some nice underdogs hit.

This is becoming more and more rare as eSports become bigger. I follow the CS:GO scene, and there were some riggings earlier this year or last year, and the people who did do the rigging have been banned from pretty well all leagues and tournaments, and it appears they are going to be permanently banned.

Lag and d/c's are also being mitigated, and many websites that offer betting are refunding bets if any of these things happen. And pro teams nearly never has this happen, or it will be known before the game begins.

eSports are going to be a huge thing, I am willing to guarantee it. CS:GO is getting a televised league, "eLeague" by Turner, DoTA 2 has The International which is being televised, and League of Legends is big enough on its own. They will most likely be watch alongside standard sports, and have sites over them to the same extent.

I think there are pretty much site that have e-sport betting like betcoin.ag and nitrogensports.eu but mostly people make some betting through nitrogensports because of its popularity and better odds from other site too

simulation stock car racing.  simulators are getting more advanced and is one of the closest e-sports to doing the real thing.

I use iracing.com   by far the greatest physics for car and driving simulation ive tried,  99% of users are using actual steering wheels that have force feed back making it close to real.
