Will esports gambling be explosive in the future like sports gambling?

[slark_killer]

The explosion of World Cup gambling industry has  shocked me.

Along with the development of esprots game, will the esports (electronic sports like LOL, Dota, Counter Strike, HearthStone, Call of duty and so on) gambling be huge in the future?

Guys, what's your vision about the esports gambling business? I'm planning to devote myself into this field. Any advice or suggestion?

I like playing video games like dota2. And recently I noticed there is a new project named ECoBetting that has attracted my attention. I'm considering to invest some money into that and then send an email to them to ask for a job in their company. How do you think about it?

Football (the folks over the pond tend to call soccer ) is without doubt the most popular sport and the World Cup is obviously the most watched sporting event worldwide so the sportsbetting industry gets a lot of business during such international competitions. The public interest is so high that even people who don't usually bet or don't watch much sports have a punt or two just for fun. E-sports on the other hand is a niche business and its general public is mainly teenagers who play PC games whereas whole nations care about their national football teams. They are not exactly comparable in my opinion.

If these tournaments will be stable and consistent with their events and prizes, esports gambling business will always be at the peak. We are in the digital age so normally everything that's related to digital will emerge.

Are you planning to create your own e-sports casino?

You're right, but it's true currently. But I'm talking in the near future, like few decades later.

Right now, esports hasn't been admitted yet by most people all over the world. But several kinds of video games have already been added into the Asian Games. As for the Olympic Games, some dominate video games are applying to be added into the Olympics. In the future, personally, I think esports will be more popular than sports. It's more convenient. Like a saying that I believe (not exactly the same, but the meaning is), in the future, more people will become more lazy and dump, and fewer people will be more smart and become elite.

I'm considering but I'm not confident, it depends. Right now, maybe I should enter a company about esports casino and work there for some time. After getting some basic principles, resources, and experience, then I will do that with some partners.

E-sports are the sport of new era a perfect past times for millennial and teenagers this day and it has a huge potentials in the future that it can be as explosive as the world football cup. E-sports is still at the age of dawn but for the coming decades it is quite largely accepted to the masses.

well maybe but personally not a big fan of betting on esports even I do myself enjoy playing and watching some games like CSGO
the reason I hate betting is that so far haven't seen a successful guy who make money mainly for gambling these games , it's not like other sports where the liquidity is high and billions being wagered

also saw many articles about how some players tended to lose so they can win their bets , most of the times the rewards that players get are less what they could win in case they make a bet
so at least so far there is some shadiness going on regarding esports , but in future this may change

I'm looking forward to the changes in the future. I believe with the blockchain technology, esports betting will be more transparent, public and fair to everyone. Recently, I've noticed that there is a new project named ECoBetting, don't know what the future of that project will be. I'm gonna keep an eye on that.

there are plenty of projects but I'm sure more than 99% will fail , so better just to keep an eye on and never get involved
just like coinpoker , they collected tons of money and now they are only happy while their investors suffering loss from the way that the site is running the business ( freerolls , giving away tons and no rake )

and if that project will use their own token or coin then most likely you will lose money with it

I think it would be the same only that there would be a lot of teams to choose from because teams in e-sports have same teams in same countries to represent. Probably they could transition to just one team per country  or just name the team as per country, in that way, it would be easy to track.

Yeah, I agree that most of these projects will fail finally, but we gotta pick up some that we believe. I've read their whitepaer several times, they design p2p betting system, and everything would be based on smart contracts, which is good to avoid the market manipulation. Also there will be 'follow' design in their betting platform, which is beautiful in my opinion. So, personally, I tend to believe this project would be successful. But who knows. If their dev team are not anonymous, I will trust them more.

However, why do you think that I'm gonna lose money if project will use their own token or coin? Please enlighten me. I don't fully understand you.

Hmm dude can you stop this thinly veiled advertisement for ECoBetting already?  It's painfully obvious you are not asking genuine questions here and are looking to promote the aforementioned site. Can you enlighten us if you are the owner or the campaign manager for Bitcointalk forum?  You are not fooling anyone by the way.

I had literally the same topic. Anyways I found out why e-sports gambling is hardly being known in crypto industry is because actual sports or physical sports is widely known and being enjoyed not be teenagers and younger generations but all age can enjoy it and to be exact there is not much gambler in our younger generations, but I see your point e-sports can be huge in the future if you'll ask me since it is getting some attention and I bet the people who will inherit the knowledge and usage of crypto will enjoy betting in some e-sports.

That's a good idea if you are planning to start a business then you must start familiarizing on the industry.

If you are just blindly entering it because you've overheard that there's a big money overflowing on it, when you face future problems I guess you can't take it and come up with solution.

esport betting already is exploding.You can find esport betting at almost any betting exchange and bookie.Estimates for esport betting are even bigger.Many events are even transmuted by tv even in vr technology
We will have good esport betting exchanges in crypto space

[paul00]

Ofcourse it will and I myself often bet in esports but when it is on the finals I mostly bet on dota. I find it very risky because even the weakest team can be defeated I seen it even if they predict it there's no guaranteed that they will win.

As someone who is fairly involved in the CS:GO scene (participated at several events featured on HLTV.org, etc), I will say that the throwing of matches (intentionally losing for money) does happen, and I see it quite often and quite clearly, but everything is there to make esports gambling as a whole take off. There's already a very large audience for the game (mostly young people), and betting already occurs on a medium-to-large scale for some events and matches.

One point why it won't take off is that there's not many young gamblers because the minimum age is 18 in most jurisdictions is correct, and this is even more true in a game like Counter-Strike, where there was (and is) a sizeable number of young gamblers in the game primarily using means like weapon skins and cryptocurrency as an alternative means to gamble without using fiat payment methods- but this all ended when there was a 7-day trade delay put into place to combat gambling by Valve corporation. This essentially killed gambling through weapon skins (which was and still is a VERY large part of total bets on CS matches), but there have been creative solutions around this; however, they were too little too late and the CS:GO gambling scene was quite damaged by this.

In the end, I'm split about whether or not it'll take off. I'll leave my opinion as maybe and maybe not- I have a somewhat strong feeling esports gambling will stay like what it is now until there's an even larger audience for esports as a whole.

The explosive succees of world cup betting is no wonder, soccer is the most popular game for sport betting, and with big events like this there will be a lot of gamblers roaming around , and for the esport, I think it got potential, the popularity of the esport gambling has growm, a lot of sport gambling site already got esport gambling, so it probably could become huge in the future

[Kakmakr]

I think it is going to be even bigger, because everything is going online and a lot of kids are not into contact sports anymore. They see the prize money and sponsorship of these eSport gamers and they also think it is cool to earn your living by being a professional gamer. If they just knew how much time and discipline goes into being one of these top players, then they might not be so keen to be one of them.

Still, I think it will become the betting platform of the future.
