Has anyone placed esports bets?

[South Park]

To all you guys who responded here playing dota and all that. Don't you ever encounter games and matches where you just feel it's so rigged? Like the reason I'd never really play big on esports is I know a lot of the people who play it and they are all well... I would believe if I offered them enough money to throw games they would. And them doing so would be nearly impossible to detect. Doesn't this put you off?

That is always a possibly even in sports, but I get what you are saying, in traditional sport leagues this is way more difficult as many players are paid a fortune and it is easier to see if something is wrong, but at the end of the day unless you are right there watching their every action is going to be very difficult to detect this kind of fraud, but while that is the negative think about the positive, casinos have decades if not a hundred years of history to be able to calculate very accurate odds for traditional sports, something that is not true at all with esports and that gives you an advantage.

Very possible to any sports gambling as fixed match are really chronic.

Any sports event that being use for gambling are prone to this kind of manipulations, as there are people who have huge amount of
money to offer just to see the rigged happen. It's also been discuss inside the forum.

I am aware that this is very common especially when it comes to the lower levels of sport competition, for example before the pandemic I liked to watch boxing matches of relatively new boxers, while many of those fighters will not fight many times I like the idea of watching boxers before they turn pros, and even if I do not have evidence sometimes it is very clear there is something going on in the fight and that it is fixed in some way, but fixing anything higher than that requires a lot of money and very few people have that kind of power.

I have placed a couple of bets in some esports like fifa games but each time with no luck
I think that like any other sport you need to study well the players, conditions, single matches. for sure "combine" are always possible since it's a sport like any others.
For sure after next Olympics games (that seems want launch the first esports competitions), we will see more and more of these esports becoming very popular in western countries...

Does anyone know how to access the zone at https://esporttalk.org/ ? About a year ago I was able to use it normally and got some pretty good e-sports picks. Now I can not log in and have no access. Do you need an invitation?

I am thinking about starting to do this. Today I watched LOL 2021 World Championship and watched the odds live. First of all, I think the original quote of the bookmakers was wrongthe favorite was too overrated and this mistake was not corrected even when it became obvious that the EDG was just slightly inferior to the DG. Secondly, in the live mode, there were many opportunities to make guaranteed profitable bets, since the odds were very volatile.

eSports bets are now growing very well.
It is not only on online gambling but also offline. Moreover, during the pandemic, eSports are growing very significantly. So far, we know also many more eSports games are coming around. And some reputable gambling platforms also provide this.
Well, this is interesting, moreover for young gamblers, may be very interested in esports betting.
Dota  maybe still my favorite

E-sports betting is on trend these days especially that we're in the midst of a pandemic situation. Most young players prefer E-sports since we're in the modern technology era. Most of my friends are hooked to E-sports betting because it's too exciting and a skill-based game for online players. I'm sure that the E-sports community would continue to grow now that online sports are even growing.

It's not because it's the modern era only, it's just how they grew up playing so they prefer it much more, I mean that's how our parents have done too so it's not really that much different. I think it became a trend because not a lot of people believed that it's going to be somethign so big to the point that the biggest eSports tournament is going to have a prize pool of 8 figures.

The trend of the explosive growth of esports appeared long before the pandemic, the budgets of competitions and teams are growing every year. Both the number of teams and the number of disciplines are growing - all this is based on the constant growth of the audience in this area. I think it is obvious that in a few years, individual esports disciplines will be as big as individual sports. Therefore, bettors should get used to betting on e-sports - the share of these competitions in betting will constantly grow.

Esports betting is already famous even on pre-pandemic situation on which esports did really make out some popularity.Somehow it cant really be denied on how this turns out for this pandemic did  really

give out significant effect on adding up more people on seeing and watching and make out bets on esports.Even myself considered out to be a esports bettor specially on Dota2 and CSGO.

Esports is already a big industry it might not really be that having much attention but its there and to know that even tournaments did really have multi-million dollar prize pool
which basically means that this is a big market.

Not only the young ones are into esports. Actually, the foundation of the esports industry are the older ones that have dreamt of this industry and right now, the young ones are the ones that are taking the fruit of the labor of those earlier esports folks that have pushed this dream for everyone.

I'm sure that the E-sports community would continue to grow now that online sports are even growing.

It will and it's already a job and career for those that are already into this industry. The players got salary, the staff, the management got profit and it's all because of the support of the sponsors and brand companies.

Its growing well and finally those team that throwing game is already minimized compared before due to strict monitoring and the increase prize pool on each tournament. At first I thought e-sports betting is delusional since many e-sports are young and they can do whatever they want on the game including not playing seriously and just for fun. So even a top tier team before can be beat by the low tier team if the match happened on a low tier tournament but with the implementation of DPC system, Team are obligated to do there best on all tournaments because they need DPC points to join the TI. So no room for throw game.

I don't bet on esports because I don't understand how that works... Once I checked some betting markets for League of Legends, I like to watch it when I have free time, I also play it when I have free time, so I am interested only in that game! But, as I said when I checked the market everything was confusing for me!
To be honest, I didn't try to understand it and to check how it works, I just postponed that for later... but that latter never came! When I watch some LoL games I think about checking it more closely and getting more involved, but I really need more free time! I hope with more free time (when kids get older a bit) I will get more involved in esports betting!

I watched a significant part of the championship that ended the other day (at the same time I tracked the odds and odds live) and I can say that there is no particular difference from betting on football or tennis. The only thing that seemed to me was a greater volatility in the odds (maybe due to the fact that the situation in the game is changing more dynamically), but this is a clear plus as it gives the bettor more opportunities.

For me it's the complete opposite, I guess it just depends on how well you know sports betting overall since it's easy to understand the different markets like match winner, map handicaps, and other prop bets.

The tricky part is observing the scene consistently, and knowing the best and worst composition in the current patches since you could take advantage of the picking phase sometimes.

I remember back in 2015 during the glory days of dota2lounge.com, people used to bet their in-game dota 2 skins that were very difficult to get. I remember, people used to trade 5 rare items for 1 mythic quality item back in the days. From all the bettings that I used to do, I've won like $50 worth of skins in total (I started from $0.5 worth of skins). Unfortunately during my last bet, I betted against the favored team to win but I lost miserably.

E-sports betting has become a trend nowadays due to its fanbase around the world. Not to mention, the stakes are so high that the prize pool involves millions of dollars at its disposition. No wonder that e-sports betting will be one of the future of betting.

I have been into Esport , a year ago I made some funds in betting with Esport. Then when I was operating with Esport their service was okay to me but I don't know about now if it is still like then I was into it.

Doesnt understand on how it works? LOL! This is just typically betting on those teams when it comes to tournaments or competitions just like on whats happening on physical sports.If you dont know the game then it would be just simply be hard for you to consider on make bets if everything wouldnt really be that be part of your interest or specially your game but if you do know about that certain market  then you could really able to make bets if you wanted into. Doesnt really need some sort of critical thinking on how thing owkrs because it is really just a typical betting on things you do know.

[SmokerFace]

Ever since the boom on Esports popularity I started betting on League of Legends teams and Overwatch teams as these are the ones that I am most familiar with. I also tried Fantasy drafting but it didn't really tickle my fancy so I came back to regular esports betting. I can say it's much easier to bet on esports rather than regular games because you can really see the games even in the player's perspective, giving you confidence to either bet more or bet less.

All matters with preference because im both esports bettor(dota2, cs:go) and at the same time im also a sporst bettor too (NBA). It doesnt really give
you out  restriction or limitation as long you do have money to play and what do interest you in.I have placed lots of bets on esports bets since
im a gamer since from my highschool days then it would really be just entertaining to make out bets into those teams that you had idolized wayback
even up to now.Even we have hit by pandemic but esports industry havent been affected that much.

I'm thinking of placing some bets on upcoming csgo games.
I also did place some bets on lol worlds on the final game but ended up losing because DWG lost and to my surprise, the face of Showmaker is on meme pages these days.
Don't know if he's thinking about losing to the Zoe pick by an enemy team that he took himself before defeating T1.

Hey guys,


I am currently attending the ICE London event today and there is evidently a massive focus on esports this year. So I wanted to find out if anyone has recently bet on anything esports related?

There was a live esports game today (CS:GO) at ICE with GG.Bet covering the betting, with the match taking place between Mad lions and OG esports.

You can watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnMYAd_O0xk

Let me know if anyone bet on this game!

I play Dota 2 myself from time to time and i also like to watch professional matches of Dota 2 since many years now and i watch almost every big tournament on twitch. I also think it is a great esports to place bets on, at least during major tournaments with a big price pool. I usually don't bet on games with low tier teams in low tier tournaments with a low price pool because there i am always afraid, that the matches may be fixed. If you only get 500$ for winning a match why would a team not accept to lose a match willingly if they get paid 600$ for example. You don't have that problems at big tournaments.

high risk, high reward. I know people who make more money placing bets in obscure tournaments than in big events because more often than not the bookmakers won't price the matches correctly due to the lack of info (of the team, league, players, historic data, stats, etc). I wouldn't recommed this "strategy" to the average bettor, takes a lot more effort and time to make some decent bank, i'd rather stick to the popular leagues.
