Chess on Sports/eSports betting

[Janation]

No offense but most people nowadays look at chess as a boring sport. Though I am seeing it being applied in esports but a game mode of it. It was started in the arcade of Dota 2 which is the Dota Chess. It is pretty interesting and addicting to be honest since it is like a gamble where you based on your luck if the heroes you will be getting will follow what you want to build.

Some years back I tried playing chess and also did learned from the friend or must say tried learning the game but soon understood that this requires huge concentration and need to be very focused as you need to know not only your movement but also how the opponents movement and how it could be danger if you move just 1 wrong move in the game. It is very exhaustive game but not my type of it.

Well, its about tactics, strategies, the memorization of possible moves. It is exhausting but it is really fun if you are thinking about how you will be taking down your opponent's king. But it is more fun when they actually apply it in games. Started by Dota 2, as far as I know, LoL also have this game mode and also Mobile Legends.

I do play Magic Chess in Mobile Legends but I don't think there is a tournament for it for us to bet on it.

Also, I do agree with the earlier posts that Chess is not that popular, despite the rick culture of it originating in the 16th century. I guess people would consider more betting in marble rather than a game of chess.

There are but it's between club to club and city to city tournament, on online there are minor tournaments, but you can always do peer to peer betting

We had similar topics before, like 4-5 years ago. And as I remember even then some people wanted to play chess for crypto, but there's wasn't such offer from any crypto site, and I don't think that something changed about that. Just a handful of people would play it, so it's probably not be profitable.
There're chess simulators and it would be easy to scam people with them. That's why people who play online chess like fast games, people who wish to scam don't have time to check every move. I would play chess, but some casual chess with some low stakes, because I got rusty over the years, I don't even remember when was the last time I played.

I really enjoy the surge in popularity of chess. The new blitz tournaments are awesome to watch. I think the change from normal games to 3-5min time slots per player are just awesome. It increased the attractiveness chess to a lot of people who had nothing to do with chess before and then adding streaming on top is just wonderful. Seeing the top 20 chess players in the world thinking and analysing live on the internet the game is just awesome.  Betting on chess tournaments should grow in my opinion to make the sport even more attractive.

Believe me or not but there are only small percent of gamblers that are interested in chess than other physical sports. I think also that Lebron James is popular than Garry Kasparov.
Casino`s really love bettors and they are after the bets than in sports. If only few gamblers have interest in chess sports then there is only small amount of wagers every time there is a tournament. I don`t say that chess isn`t popular, it is just only small percent have interest to bet. But then, who knows? It may really give an impact to gambling world since a new sport may be added.

Agree on some part that chess isn't popular since it's an old/medieval game but this trend right now will be a stepping stone to make the game popular again.

Twitch is a very popular platform on streaming, so definitely it will be an easy process to make it on the top (actually it's on the top right now). There are millions of viewers day by day so chess will definitely dominate the other games listed on betting platforms. So I'm hoping that online casino or gambling platforms should consider this trend right now, it might give them an opportunity and advantages.

To be honestly, my favorite sports is chess. Well in fact, I was player in my school during my high school days. And yes you are right, we need to make some steps in this sport. I know that everything starts from nothing. But as soon as people (gamblers) will become interested in this sport, it will become the premiere in gambling sports. It just need to start step by step.

People are actually betting on it and most of them do it offline rather than online. Still, I asked my friend about this and he gave me a site which he saw in Reddit posted 7 years ago. I don't know if this is already posted here but here is the site. I also don't know if the site is a legitimate one but it is posted 7 years ago and they are still active so I think it is a legit site.

If the large chess platforms also embrace betting in some capacity, it could lead the market to growing more. People would have more incentive to watch, more sponsors, more money flowing around. And then organizers and event hosts could also see benefits from creating bigger and better events. I could see chess up there with some of the bigger e-sports. A new breed of chess tournament is born if Chess draws some inspiration from modern esports. I'm surprised it took so long for chess to catch up but it's certainly holding up well.

I like playing chess, but watching it is quite boring. One match can take several hours and sometimes it can take up to 1 hour before a player makes a move.
I know some betting platform where you can bet on chess (but they do not accept cryptos).

I kinda agree that only a few people will enjoy watching a chess game since it takes a lot of time before a player decided to make a move. It's not that I don't find it entertaining, but in my place, there's a nearby park where some people are playing chess. But looking at their age range, older people tend to appreciate chess more than younger people. But since I think that younger people are more into online gambling compared to older people, they prefer more entertaining games and sports.

However, it's good to know that chess is starting to gain interest among players. Maybe in the future, we will be able to see a lot of sports betting platforms that will accept chess.

I can confirm that Marathonbet is a legit betting site. Good odds and many betting possibilities.
However, since the Belgium law has changed, I don't have access anymore to the site

It will be a good addition as there are only few sports that you can bet right now. So for those gamblers who want to bet even if it is a boring game, they can do so. At least, they have something to watch live on their TV at home and not those old matches. Who knows they can a learn a thing or two, in terms of strategies.

I think the same way too! Its entertaining only for those who plays it and to the audience who knows how to play it. But for me, its kind of boring and silence makes me not entertained. I watch esports that I didn't even know how to play but I still enjoyed it. Its hard just like other esports game but I think the problem is how it appears to other people. And yep, they will still have their audience but I'm not sure it will be as big as other games.

I see some twitch streamer.

Don't know why right now a lot people trying to playing a chest online ~LOL, this hype. I don't really know how good and strategy playing a chest, to much thinking for me so can't really enjoy playing the game. But seeing some streamer who turned to play into a chest kinda funny.

There's always Magnus Carlsen and Hikaru Nakamura that always stream their game with their own commentary, and it does really help allot of viewers basically to know how a grandmaster in chess think. Nakamura also plays some weird chess puzzles, such as all knights, all bishops game vs a computer and he can really defeat engines.

My comment here before was, what if engines used to cheat? Basically, for low rated chess players, it is a big deal, but by watching Grandmasters crushing engines, chess tournaments online is really possible.

For a long time in gambling, I didn't notice that there is a kind of gambling games with the use of this chess because we all know that this is just a popular mind games sports which is only a few people enjoy on this game and I'm a fan of this game too and this is a good excitement there is a tournament happenings right now and bets to give your chance of winnings.

Some streamers on twitch I noticed that they are now playing online with this game it is just a 2D game that you can play with the PvP and one on one game still it gives a real game because you are against with other players too.

               Its true that older people enjoyed playing chess since it is relaxing and stimulates your brain to analyze, but to be honest it is not really that popular when it comes to betting or gambling since it is a slow paced game and needs quiet a lot of time to make a move. I have been also wondering before if there are existing gambling sites intended for chess but now i've seen some.

Can you share which sportsbook offer betting on chess matches ? 

Chess is good game to play of you know how to play it but watching a chess match is very boring. Probably that's the reason chess is not popular amount the sports bookies.

I love chess games, in fact, I downloaded it on my phone to give some room playing online while in quarantine.
For there will be a place where we can include this in online/sports betting it might get interesting for oldies to participate as well or those chess lovers will get into it. Or maybe I consider myself for this and maybe this could also help to promote this game as most of the new generation had giving no/less interest in learning rather than those ROS and many other online games.

I never understand fully on how to play chess even though I tried hard to learn it. These days even school good kids are playing good chess games and it also make their brain strong. In some countries, like Japan, chess is compulsory for the kids to develop their thinking power on their brains. However, I doubt if there is any scope for the betting on chess.

I never thought that gambling in chess is a thing too but I guess it is. All I know is that some people are actually streaming playing online but I never thought that it would be something that people could bet on.

There is no much better way to play chess is with someone in real than in computer because the thrill is there and the challenge.
