[hayleewilson]

Esports betting is not new in the gambling sphere anymore, so I'd like to share this article with you guys, especially with those new in the world of esports betting: https://www.bitcoinsportsbetting.co.uk/news/beginners-guide-to-esports-betting/

Nice guide! As for a few extra resources available on teams and players for some esports games, Liquipedia (click for link) has a great deal of information on past and future tournaments for a whole lot of esports but primarily CS:GO and Dota 2, for tournaments both small and big. HLTV (click for link) is my personal favorite resource for CS:GO as the site provides individual pages for matches in various tournaments and in-depth information on any CS:GO team, as well as a timetable for future matches. Nothing's better than HLTV for CS:GO.

Thanks for sharing, as I have no idea how esports betting works so I'll take few minutes to read it. To be honest I'm attracted with any esports betting since few years ago but maybe I need to learn it now as this going to be more popular in the future.

Every time I do Esports betting I always do money line and props bet.

The money line is much easier to win, though the odds on some popular team battling against each other is quite low.

Props bet is much harder as it based on luck since its hard to predict who will gain the first 10 kills etc. But the reward here is quite good in my opinion.

This is the place on where i do hang out when it comes to Dota 2.It has all the necessary informations you do seek or needed of which can really be used on your esports bets.

@OP, thanks for the share up but as far as i remember this site had been spammed out by some of users already.

Thank you for sharing. I watch the DotA movie on the site. I feel that DotA is like a Warcraft which I already played in the past and I think it's almost similar to DotA.

But I never tried to play esports betting before so I think I need to learn first about how to place the bet so if someday, I want to try to play DotA, I know what I will do.

All in all that is a good article for beginner like me. I will learn more about esports betting later.

Dota is the forefather of the Dota 2 which is in the Esport gambling site.

But I never tried to play esports betting before so I think I need to learn first about how to place the bet so if someday, I want to try to play DotA, I know what I will do.

It is quite easy to bet actually you just need to pick a team that you think will in the match.

I like that beginners guide to esports betting you posted. Since, this was discussed. I want to suggests some teams in League of Legends. In North America LCS, you should try to focus more on

• Team Liquid
• TSM;
• and C9

In Korea Server, you should vote more on:

• SKT T1
• Griffin

Those teams are competitive teams for me participating in different regions.

I think there are many players of MOBA games CS Go, etc.. that can relate with your guide even though they are not gambling and just playing the games, I really think we should take a minute in reading it first before pursuing your bet on Esports, And There are many things to research first before anything else and not like on Esports that you will just need to know the skills, endurance, And the character of the player, in short, you just need to know both players, While in Esports had a wide range of research that you need to take.

If you try to look back, a lot of sportsbooks before that never open betting lines for esports are actually now offering esports betting. And it won't be a surprise if more sportsbooks and casinos do the same as more esports enthusiasts enter the world of online betting.

This is a good example of a beginner's guide and I think every casino should have a section of help , I mean a very detailed guide like the article in this thread would help a lot.

It would help a lot when this guide in sport betting if it does what others don't and that is to explain in a detailed fashion the betting lines, like over/under , asian handicap , european handicap and the rest of less known bets, everyone knows what moneyline is but not everyone knows what asian handicap is.

Nice guide, I'm not into ESports though, I just heard it around the community and thinking that I'm too old for this kind of stuff. Anyways, will try to read it and see if I can get interested somehow and make a few bets here and there. I heard that there are huge money in the table in tournaments so I guess this is a haven for gamblers as well.

Due to demand and popularity that esports is gaining then theres no doubt that bookies would consider to add up these events.Esports is becoming big
yet we know that these online games becomes popular and there are lots of players who do compete on each country just like on typical physical sports.
Im a dota and cs go player for some years and been following and betting to it on nitrogen.

Basically age is not a reason to learn something new, I was thinking the same thing when I wanted to learn about bitcoin for the first time. The most important thing to learn something new is about passion or interest, if we are not interested to learn something new then we wont learn it no matter how old we are.

As in the statement age is not at all a factor to learn something new. There are people who have begun their life on retirement and has turned themselves millionaires and billionaires. As mentioned, being passionate towards something will truly keep thyself active and keeps focused on the goal. In our forum itself we've all ages of people, when one knows to value the one next to them. Restrictions were made to limit the usage and not for complete abolishing.

Aside from that guide, it's an advantage if you already know how to play some of the games. In that way, you will not just rely on speculations by other bettors as references. Upsets always happen at Esports tournament.

With that knowledge, we can create a certain speculation by just watching some of the game replays to guide us for our future bets. You will understand how those players works on their respective roles e.g Moba - tank, support, gank, hitter etc. and if their ability to adopt another role once they changed gears at some circumstances.

I wouldn't trust too much on the teams ability when it comes to esports betting. Even in non e-sports there are many rigged games and I can't imagine how many more of them in e-sports games.

Once the big bets show up on those games, it almost certain some shady shit is going to happen because as far as I know, nobody gives a shit and there is no authority to punish the game riggers.

Really decent guide actually, didn't expect it to contain that much info if I'm being honest.
Too bad that you haven't mentioned Starcraft, it's my personal favourite game to bet on.

Might just not be that popular in the west anymore though.

There are accusations in esports about throwing matches and when it's proven the players receive a punishment from the tournament organizers.

I wouldn't be worried on players to throw on bigger tournaments even there's a possibility since it's only doing more harm than good to them.
