Tricks and tips for esports betting

[tumis]

I'll ask such a banal question (yes, is there already a rule in this forum)

Do you know how to make money by betting Esports? Do you have any good ways (in your opinions) to make money? Or maybe only intuition , current form, players' morale?

I think it's a pretty good idea, such as more serious consideration and analysis like here on esports bettings talks  but I'm talking about restricted discussions in the restricted area. Insiders and key information. Do you know any other sources of this kind or somethink for reading like blogosphere gaming information and news here ?

I think there's no easy way of learning to make correct picks, you basically have to know exactly how the games work and you need to know intricate details about the players/teams.
I've made some successful picks in the past, on Starcraft for example, just because I'd been following one particular player while he was trying to move up the ladder.

I'd noticed that his game seemed a little bit off and decided to bet against him when he was playing against a slightly weaker opponent.
My gut feeling ended up being correct, since I made a nice profit from that game.

It's little stuff like this that you should take notice of.

That is a game of strategy therefore even how good all involved parties are, we can't really say what is the output.

I think it's far way difficult compare to sports betting. Why? Because I have knowledge at both therefore I can analyzed and compared them according to my own set of criteria.

If you really want to pursue your E-sports betting experience, start by watching matches regularly. You will see how players involved applying their strategy on the game. On that way, you can somehow have references that will complete your set of criteria.

Yes you need to build experienced here, same on other types of betting.

You are more likely to benefit from e-sports betting, if you choose the right betting site, do your investigation and track your returns.
Do not bet on chain logic which means for example if FaZe beat Na'vi and Na'vi beat Fnatic don't think that this make FaZe favourites against Fnatic. Their map pools and styles may not match up that good against other opponents. 
Also, take as much time as you can to watch different teams and tournaments, learn their strengths and weaknesses.

The tip to win in the sport betting is deep analysis about the players and squad which may give an idea about winner but not for sure.Institution based betting may not be fit for sport betting since it is strategy based we need to decide what will happen while the matches are going.

Guaranteed way for making money in the sport betting is match fixing but it is illegal to do.

I have seen and used predictive algorithms that use historical data (which there isn't much) a few years back that would produce a "true line" and compare the +- % inflation to the Offered line at the book. All it took was a basic API from pinnacle for the lines, and the algorithm as I recall was pretty basic, just like the same ones for NBA and NFL. Sadly, I'm not a coder- but if this rings a bell let me know. The site was smartdotabetting.com I believe (now defunct) but I'd love to talk to the coder for that site as it was about 4 years ago. I had an incredible run with that site.

I agree with other posters here that say the BEST way to handicap an Esports match is good, old-school DYOR along with following social media accounts, knowing which teams are better at certain maps (this comes in hand when live betting).

I am an old-school handicapper for major sports- but will be developing a prediction system for ESPORTS in 2019 that will be used as a guide to make decisions in the future.

I am always open to DM's or input.

How make money on betting on esports? This is just the same talking on how to win any gambling game but the fact that gambling can be categorize in 2 things.Luck-based and strategic ones and esports is belonged
on strategic ones which means studying or knowing the teams past history and performance would be a great factor that can help out to make your decision. Why would bet on a team if you do saw
that their stats isnt so good compared to others?

[leowonderful]

Having a deep understanding of the game you're betting on as well as the team is what I use for CS:GO betting (a popular esports game if you didn't know), and this has helped me make some good profits on the lower-tier North American CS:GO matchups. There's obviously some level of luck in betting as with any type of gambling, and I don't always make the best predictions for matches every single time, but having a basic knowledge of the game you're betting on greatly helps out. I've found that my match prediction accuracy has increased as I have gotten better at CS:GO.

I also personally know some of the people in lower-tier NA CS:GO matches, and knowing the players and their recent scrimmage results and such helps me predict matches more accurately than if I didn't have the connections I currently have.

Check the game's reddit/news sites for extra info (sometimes an important player can't attend to a match and you might learn that sooner than the betting site...). Do it DAILY.

That's true. Watching games daily and getting informed about players and the whole team will certainly help. Look at statistics.

It is almost a fundamental analysis. You can also check balances of the clubs, as more money will usually means Better performance in mid term.

Well, I know there are a lot of teams which are paid to lose and agree to unfair means of playing the games. This is no different than match-fixing in real-life sports. If you're lucky on the other end, you will probably make a lot of money. This is by no chance a good way of beating esports but most of the bookies know the fixed matches and they will fuck you over by manipulating the match midst game.

There's a good discussion going on here and I've picked up some tips for myself. Just want to ask though, could you also share reliable sites offering statistical analysis for esports?

[icalical]

I agree to most of the opinion posted on the replies before mine, and I will add some.
First of all you need to know how the game works, the mechanical, technical, gameplay etc. Without this basic knowledge, it is almost impossible to do an analysis. Then you need to keep up with the player/roster change, the main difference between E-sport and traditional sport is that there is no exact schedule when players can move to another team, so you need the most updated team roster info. And dig deep information about the captain  of both team in the match, like their playstyle, strategy and playstyle preference, captain really control how a team play their game.

esports betting are a kind of skill based games where your analysis are more better than luck . you just need to pick the best teams or the best player because theres always a higher chance that they could win  compared to weak players  .   fixers and game cookers are verry rare on esports because esports are more legit than compared to live bettings and sports based gambling  like jai alai .

Sports betting is always different from others betting ways because sports betting are more addictive and gives more tension for you that's why sports betting also played by lots of people and there is not tips and tricks for that because gambling in not allowed tips and tricks that allows only luck and time.

Agreed! Specially in Dota 2, LOL and CS. it is based on player and team if you already how that team plays then you have a chance to win, especially when you watch all their game.

Just go with the flow of betting like see the pool to which team or a player has a high bet. This because the people will tend to bet more on a team that has a high chance of winning. Definitely most of it will going to win though you will only have a small profit to earn because you are in the larger pool of bets.

In my opinion, esports betting is the easiest way so as to make a profit. Many betting platforms give high odds for betting in an esports game in order to attract players in this industry.
When I bet, I usually go with the team form and squad. It is very easy to predict a match as the better team wins. Another way to predict a match if you have no clue about the game is to bet in favor of the Asian team. Asia has a great esports industry and they have created very competitive teams. The best players usually come from this continent.

Agree on your point but about choosing which team is easy? I don't think so yet this is just like a typical betting on sports too the difference is that this is happening thru online.So the criterias or set-up would really be just the same.It does still need analysis or research about the team.The only thing we can able to observe if the team is on favorite side but well not all games would be sure win.

Go with the e-sports that you are good with, don't just bet with an uncertain decision or if you don't do analysis. In what e-sports are you good at or what's your hobby? if its cs:go and dota 2, you can figure out what to bet.

But if you are still not sure of what team to bet, you can look at this section for someone who do predictions especially if there are events such as majors. There's no trick to make money with e-sports betting, one tip that can I tell you is to watch highlights and replays on youtube of both team that will have a match.

But changing roster should also be considered.
