I used to play some Dota and Counter Strike back in the day and a lot of Starcraft.. but those days are long gone now. I knew everything about the Top players and the rankings ...but back then not a lot of eSport betting was done.

Now I changed strategy and I bet on CS:GO with the knowledge that I get from the kids that are still playing it. I know the basics of the game and they will tell me what the pro's and cons are for the latest players.. so I formulate my bets based on that. Wink

I have to say, some of these kids are fanatics and they know what they are talking about. (It shows in my win statistics) Grin

Sometimes, their info can be accurate because they are often playing the game and they are fanatics than what we see and even that info comes from the source we get, so if we follow their guidance to bet, we will have a big chance to win.

It will help us give more info to analyze, but we still need to have as much info about the game before selecting our bet. It is difficult to place a bet on esports since I do not know much about esports games.

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?

I have personally bet on esports before and I was notorious in such stuff during my younger years.

The only difference is that before, I used to bet in-game currencies (i.e. CSGO - weapon skins; Dota 2 - hero skins, etc. Wink

as cryptocurrencies were not that famous back then. Currently, I tried betting using my spare bitcoins 2-3 years ago and I actually won three (3) games out of four (4). Personally, betting on esports involve knowing the current ranking of teams and their matchups.

Much like in sports, betting in e-sports is not that complicated but you have to know at least to such degree, the team you are betting on.

Yeah, the community for those games are not yet popular. But once they've become more popular, sportsbooks will have them enlist because there's a large community that supports them. I think that's about the consistency of such communities. Unlike the other popular games, they have it on their books because of their community and those games are very much popular. Maybe someday they'll have it on their list.

I hope that it will happen because I am growing fond of fighting games despite being an avid FPS player my whole life. Maybe someday, Streetfighter or Mortal Kombat will have their big break and get their chance to become a part of eSports betting.

I love fighting games as well but I think there are some reasons why they are not more popular now, the first is that they are kind of repetitive as the only thing the players are doing is to fight, the second issue I see is that the ceiling has been lowered, when you see some of the combos the players perform and then you try them yourself you see it is not as difficulty, inputs are very forgiving compared to previous editions of the same games so people are not impressed by the combos since they can perform them with some difficulty, instead of being in awe as it was in the past when a player performed a combo you knew you will never be able to land.

Once RTS game genre becomes more popular I will give esports a try. So far FPS and MOBA genres are the most popular and demanded ones, but I don't have enough knowledge to bet on them, especially MOBA where the games are very specific and have their own names for every stuff in game and many different possible strategies, combinations.
You have to know what each skill does, what are the pros and cons of each character and even if you know all these things it might not mean a lot, as the game is constantly receiving updates which nerf or power up some things in game. So you need to be always looking for news about the last patches and updates.

LOL why would those real sports be a waste of time? Huh

You're wrong I think, betting on Esports is the real waste of time. Esports are famous to be highly corrupted, with lots of fixed matches and cheating, you should be very careful if you bet on this activity.

he didnt said all sports but he only mentioned some name and he mentioned simulated sports but i think theres something wrong with his post because he also said that esport is a waste of time , if i read it correctly . esports and betting in esports is not a waste of time because i never think of it as a corrupt but if that was your opinion ill respect that .

@Haunebu there is a mobile game in esports that lately became verry popular and its gameplay is simillar to the og's in moba

As I understood his post he said table tennis and UFC are a waste of time according to him, so I was just wondering why he was thinking that and why he prefers betting on esports while they have a really bad reputation of rigged contests.

So many assumptions about what I said and maybe I should have phrased that better.

What I said was that during lockdown last year, we had limited options "Either table tennis, UFC, some simulated sports which are a waste of time I would say, and otherwise Esports."

So I meant that simulated sports are a waste of time and I said that because there is no stream or anything and all we can do is trust the data and results provided by them. I have seen some strange things and results happening in simulated sports which made me feel like its a waste of time.

UFC is a good option and I myself make bets on weekends so I would never call it as a waste of time. Table tennis is not bad but ain't great either of matches are unpredictable and underdog wins more than favorites from what I have seen, so there is no consistency in TT.

I hope I cleared any and all doubts about my comment.

It seems that you have some really good kids with you to have your win statistics to be so good. What site do you usually go to when you are betting on eSports and other sports in general, I am pretty curious. Also to include it to the curiosity, can you post your statistics?

As far as I know, Streetfighter and Mortal Kombat is a game that available for PS and another machine which I do not know the name Grin

But if you want to know more, you can visit this website:

Code:

https://www.esportsbets.com/street-fighter/
https://esportbetting.eu/games/streetfighter
https://www.gamopo.com/esports/street-fighter/

On that site, you will see that gg.bet is the site that has the game. So you can try to play on that site.
I do not know much about the site, and I do not have experience playing on that site, so be careful.
Besides gg.bet, you can check on the other gambling site with Streetfighter game, but still, be careful to gamble.

Thank you for the recommendation, I would try to visit it but maybe not this time because I might have my stupid brain go on a spending spree and I think that it won't be good for my wallet right now.

the entire time i watch the video just picking up what they are talking about is already making me insane. you have to be a real gamer to be able to follow what they are talking about and most probably if you wanted to bet as well, you really have to be familiar with the games and the guys out there in the team.

i thought i could understand because once upon a time i was addicted to Counter-Strike but this esports gambling is not what a casino gambler would have a chance of winning.

When it comes to e-sports betting then I do usually hang out with;

GG.bet,Loot.bet and cloudbet.com

2 of them accepting cryptocurrencies which do make even more convenient for me and the one is that old and famous esports betting platform since from the start.

I can confirm that loot.bet and gg.bet are quite amazing because they offer odds on most games in-play and their coverage is also decent while cloudbet and other crypto sportsbooks that offer odds on e-sports have good coverage but sometimes lack odds for in-play games. Dreamleague for DOTA2 which was concluded recently I tried to bet but only some of the games were offered for live betting.

I feel like although the crypto based sportsbooks have evolved a lot but still lack in some aspects and one of them is having more coverage and live odds for e-sports matches apart from other things like having more consistent odds. By consistency I mean, there are odds of 2x on a team winning 2-0 in maps, for example on counter strike matches while 1.9x on handicap -1.5 which basically mean the same.

On the current bookies that we do have on this crypto market then i can say that nothing still beats up this two specially now that it is accepting crypto then that is really a big convenience
for those old users specially with loot.bet.

As lanatsa mentioned too about convenience because it did really give out such option or gateway to play without using those typical terms.

About those evolution aspects then i do agree with that but still wont be enough to match up on things that had been offered by these old platforms.

There has been a massive focus on eSports betting for quite sometime now which is why this isn't anything new in my opinion. I didn't bet on the match which you mentioned related to CS:GO, but I did place several eSports related bets recently.

Yes, and these games became more famous last year when the lockdown was enforced and all the real sports were put on hold and people were left with a few options to bet. Either table tennis, UFC, some simulated sports which are a waste of time I would say, and otherwise Esports.

Esports is not a bad option to be fair because the games happen quickly and people like me who play some of these video games myself, feel refreshing to bet on the same games where professionals are playing. I just hope there are more games added like PubG and other video games to the crypto sportsbooks as I am sure a lot of tournaments must happen for these games too but I never saw any betting option for them. Rocket League is another cool game but betting options are limited.

If there’s a huge demand, the many gambling house will follow that and list those active esports so they can attract bettor as well. Popular games right now gained the big slot in the market, just like Dota and Mobile legends. I’m into esports as well and I can really say that its growing and a lot more exciting compare to other gambling. As far as I remember, there’s a streetfighter and tekken competition in my place, I’m not sure though if its available internationally.

That definitely counts as a bet since cosmetic gambling was huge back then and most of them can be sold for real money but the value of these items are less than the actual market price because of the fees and conversion rates.

That's one of the reasons that I slowly fall out of love for betting in cosmetics in eSports, the value of the cosmetic most of the items depreciate in value. Contrary to your claim that the cosmetics are less in the market, there are actually some cosmetics that defy that logic, I don't know much about it but if you were to combine certain cosmetics, it gets more expensive than both cosmetics sold separately.

I don't know if this counts as eSports bet but back when I was an active Dota2 player, I was betting on the tournament The International 2017-2019 but not with money per se but with in-game cosmetics like Hero Skins, Hero Weapons, and Couriers, they have a monetary value but the betting site that I am using has a really simple system for this kind of betting which is nice. The wins are in-game cosmetics too but they are far more expensive than the in-game cosmetics that you have bet when you win.

I know there's still a few sites that accept skins for betting but it's becoming an inconvenience after valve added a temporary trading restriction that's why some sites stopped accepting skins and switched to cryptocurrencies.
