Tricks and tips for esports betting

[piwpafer]

Sometimes you can follow ex-professional eSports player on their stream/any other media since they often bet on eSports and usually are right more often than regular users.

This is a good idea of the question only if you know such if so give me instagram profiles of them . It's hard for me to imagine - unless you mean coaches? But they don't share arcane knowledge, but rather they only make a buzz around their own team. After all, they do not care that the rival knows exactly their tactics, compositions, etc. I think it's hard to find someone who ended his career as a player and then regularly lived the stage by keeping a profile on Twitter. I think such a person has much more interesting things to do.

In these cases you can definitely turn a profit if you know the game and the teams inside out.

Exactly! , That's the main and simplest trick in making profit out of betting either ESports or Sportsbetting.
I guess analyzing the game in ESports is a lot more complicated (example Dota2) than sports like basketball, football, and etc. Because you need to look at the team chemistry, the hero picks, possible scenario and outcome.
I don't know what else to consider in analyzing a match in Dota2 since I haven't played the game for 5 years now, but what I really think, is its more challenging to place a bet specially if both teams are very good.

Unfortunately, the biggest risk is not an clean esports. There are many cases of casual fixe matches and unfortunately it is difficult to prove it.

And I don't agree with that argument. I don't really have much to analyse. The choice of heroes is not up to us. I don't know that before the game. So what if we have live? It's just one game. And secondly, during LIVE BET, the odds are drastically understated. You can't practically win there.

But yes, that's difficult to know and prove because only few people know about this. And you have no way of knowing this.

There are many cases of casual fixe matches and unfortunately it is difficult to prove it.

Valve stepped down and is giving a very tough sanction for those players and teams that will be proven to be involved with a fix match. They have already made a sample for those players that did it in the past and they're feeling sorry about it because Valve events are the biggest prize pool tournaments that they can no longer participant.

This is more like cryptocurrency/stock/forex trading.       If things are manipulated in a bad way  (way that aims to make trading very difficult for skilled or many traders) intentionally, your analytical skills and hard work would be in vain unless you understand how the manipulations work.
Skillful bettors with sufficient information and/or "talents" could do well in betting. One of my fears with having  sufficient information is that it would be abused if it gets into the wrong hands. It could be used for sophisticated match fixing, manipulation etc

Okay, now tell me, how do they get to this? after all, this cheater will always be one step smarter, and I can't imagine it's even 50% detectable. How many matches like this are actually caught? Detected ? 10 - 20% max ? Generally we do not know.

Severe punishment ? I don't think you know what kind of money can be behind this harsh punishment... It may not even be half a game...

New cases of a match set up in leagues with a prize pool exceeding $100,000. I don't know if it's confirmed, but how would I avoid most games in Russia... https://esportsobserver.com/fixed-leagues-with-a-big-prize-pool

Even the virus is spreading the Dota 2 community still continue the major battle and they do this because they want to bring fun to the players but they do this on LAN games only or in the lobby but some of the players is not allowed to travel and connect to the other server and play with their teams so there is a lot of standing on the game but still, they need to adjust because the upcoming international is the thing they need to earn and some of the team does not have direct invited and they need to earn a lot of points to enter into the international 10 so they need to keep it up even they are incomplete.

And I think that's mainly why Dota 2 is becoming less and less popular every year and unfortunately everything indicates that this game will die a natural death. But maybe it's better for the whole e-sport?

Well as I understand since the middle of 2016 there are some kind of authorities and governance like the Esports Integrity Coalition (ESIC) which take the issue very seriously and closely monitor and investigate on all official competitions.

How do they work?
I mean, are there any regular checks?
How can this be controlled, especially in cases of tournaments completely online?

It is physically unrealistic, isn't it?

Everything is on the page, a lot of reading

We were established in 2016 to take responsibility for disruption prevention investigation and prosecution of all forms of cheating in esports, including, but not limited to, match manipulation and doping,

The Mission of ESIC is to be the recognised guardian of the integrity of esports and to take responsibility for disruption, prevention, investigation and prosecution of all forms of cheating, including, but not limited to, match manipulation and doping.

It all looks beautiful on paper unfortunately the reality is not so pink. These organizations have practically no tools to be able to effectively fight against fraudulent esports games. Let's hope that this changes

Unfortunately, as with pretty much all forms of betting/gambling, there are no guarantees to get regular wins. With that being said though, there will be people who manage to win bets more consistently. Esports is very similar to traditional sports when it comes to betting, but I do believe it can be easier to track and make more solid predictions.

I spent a few months betting on esports, focusing on League of Legends, CS:GO and Call of Duty and found this to be particularly useful - https://www.esportsbets24.com/

They help break down the tips and tricks that you'll likely find the most benefit from and also post predictions for some of the biggest esports matches. Like I said at the start though, there's never a guaranteed win when gambling, but taking advice and predictions from some websites like that could help you find a little more success when betting on esports.

Are these the only two organizations that regulate it ? you know some other places where you can get a better understanding of the procedures and how to prevent for small leagues and tournaments ?

[piwpafer]

Depends alot on the game, but teamwork counts alot for integrity of results and likelihood the team is practising together, etc.   I got alot more faith in an underdog bet when I believe that team has underlying potential to keep improving and surprising in their results, alot of that revolves around the team spirit being healthy.   The biggest mistake people make is counting results evenly when some games wont have the effort spent on them over others, some enemy teams or the map choice allows an easier result.

There are a lot of analysis that we need to know in order to win in Esports betting. Before you place a bet you need to know who's underdog and who's have upper hand. I often bet in dota 2 and I have high win rate because I always identifying the strength and the weaknesses of the team before I bet my money.  

for instance?
share these tools because apart from hltv, I don't see anything worth using...

In what game do you mean by that word 'often'?

Not specifically a certain game, but in general.

I don't know about the other games but I'm pretty sure that in Dota 2 and CSGO the percentage of fixed match is small especially if its big tournament or atleast minor tier.

How are you sure? Do you have any proof and would like to show it or tell about it?

I still think that fixed match cases in esports are way less than sports, based on two games that i mentioned before.

eSports still seem much easier to fix. In a real match where players are sweating and beating each other up, primal emotions become more obvious, impulsiveness and anger often fuel a player to forget his promise to the bookie to lose the match and may end up doing something rash which may lead to a win. Chances that the big whale who paid the team to take part in fixing ends up going South.

Thats what I have felt in game, but play acting is also possible so you may have a point worth discussing too.

Not necessarily. Imagine the equipment and artificial AI that detects that a player doesn't play 100% of his or her abilities, but just plays worse and makes mistakes that are unusual? You think this is not possible?

Thanks for that, I needed it.

I still think that fixed match cases in esports are way less than sports, based on two games that I mentioned before.

We don't know what is happening behind that curtain.

All we know is that these professional players do their best to take home this prize money. In Dota 2, there are a lot of players getting banned because of this, and they really regret they did it. For me, it is not that less but a lot of things proved that fixing is not a thing anymore. In the past, we can only see the games being played, right now we can see how players evolve and rage in a tournament showing their regrets when they commit mistakes.

Dota is a game better to be avoided - 50 % russian cheaters

[Sadlife]

My strategy when betting is simple i only wager on sports i know and often watched. It would be harder to decide and to analyze if you dont know the teams and their gameplay and their recent history. But some people use paid tools or create themselves mostly this are AI's, i recommend you take a look if you're interested.

Dota is a game better to be avoided - 50 % russian cheaters

Why do you say that? I'll tell you that there are Russian teams but if it's the competitive scene of Dota 2, these professionals are playing fair and square. Maybe you're talking about the normal matches and rank games? The tournament games can easily be seen on their streams so if somebody is cheating, they can easily be caught by the organizers and even the viewers. Or let us say that there's somebody or a team that cheats during a professional league, they're putting their careers into the pit. And Dota 2 isn't just about them but all regions are involved, SEA, North America, South America, China, EU, and CIS.

That is smart approach. Results are always the best when you feel selfconfident and you are familiar with that sport. Gambling mainly depends on luck, however some knowledge about the sport you bet can only help.
I have the similar approach and only rare I choose sports where I play only on luck and I'm not following it I'm not a fan. I don't believe in paid tools so I don't use them.

Insider betting tips of OP seem like spam alone. Why do they have to make their website close for anyone? The only way for it to work is to spam that sporttalk.com

Its an Esport, everybody chat on the internet and the players can even chat with each other while playing. Hard to bet in games like this when they can just talk about who shall win. It's best to just stick to real sports, men's sports like UFC.
