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.

KTChampions and Ralle14 made the same point! Of course, I checked again, and as you all saying it's pretty simple! I am trying to remember what was confusing for me, and in which casino... but I can't, it was a long time ago! Clearly I overlooked something, what was that I can say, I can assume that I saw the US odd system, maybe something else... clearly I mixed some things in my mind and had totally wrong opinion about betting on esports, especially on LoL!

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!

It seems like eSports is a massive growth industry and we are still in the very early days of it. I think the reason we see so many of the older games like counter strike and league of legends, as opposed to many of the newer games (e.g. call of duty) on betting sites basically comes down to cheating. We're unlikely to see much sports betting going on outside of highly regulated arena style games, where players have to use host provided machines that cannot be interfered with in order to make sure everyone is playing fairly. Covid would actually have put this whole scene on ice for a while because it's so easy to modify and introduce hacks to machines at "home" that would be untraceable but wildly rig the game in a cheaters favor.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I have placed a couple of bets in some esports like fifa games but each time with no luck Sad

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...

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.

Depends on the tournament, there's a possibility that some games can be rigged as i've seen teams getting private offers (here's a recent example) but when you're only following bigger tournaments this becomes unlikely to happen when there's a big reward on the line compared to what those match fixers are offering. For me though as much as I want to make speculations I try to avoid those thoughts since it could put you off while betting so it's best to move on right away whenever you get a loss.

Here's some valid discussions on Dota 2 TI3 issue where it was rigged. https://dev.dota2.com/forum/dota-2/community/104913-rigged-game
I do actually have the same impressions for that time where you can really feel out that there's something wrong specially if you do know
a certain teams performance and suddenly degraded where it turns out that it isn't the team that you known on.

Thinking that it's a fixed game something scripted really turns us off, but if we're a fan and we do know how the teams really wanted to win and their willing to give a good match it can still worth the risk si CE who knows we were able to bet in the game right game we're they are the assigned team to win. We will not be able to enjoy the bet and the game if we focus too much in thinking that they were planned, we just need to see by ourselves whether we bet in a right team or not.

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

You have a very significant advantage over other people, like always knowing the game in which you are betting is critical for your success, we know that games can change significantly after several updates have been made however the fact that you played those games and that you are still in contact with the community means that you know very well when the odds given by the casino are not right and you can take advantage of this and make bets that not only have a higher probability of winning but that have very high odds, if I was in your position I'll do everything to maximize my chances of becoming profitable on those games because that is not an opportunity that presents itself that often.

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.

Oh I'm really sorry justdimin I didn't get what you mean, I was thinking you were just some kind of geek despising "physical" sports and only caring about electronic ones.
Besides that, I wasn't aware of what you're saying about table tennis, if bookmakers odds are wrong it could be interesting,I've heard several professional punters saying it's harder to find value bets in the biggest sports like soccer for example because bookmakers are better to evaluate odds/implied probabilities.

Actually I am betting in E-sports for almost 7 years and that is because I am also a gamer and a gambler as well. I've seen this ggbet a good betting website in which it covers so much fight just like DotA 2, StarCraft, CS-GO, overwatch and also they have sports like basketball, football and etc. I've like to bet here in ggbet because sometimes the odds here was really good so right now I am sticking here whenever I am betting in e-sports.

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.

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.

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 bet on esports before actually trading crypto currencies. This probably because I played a lot of CSGO myself. When watching streams of the tourneys it comes from its own that you have favourite teams and want to get on them. The big thing for me to go into betting on esports was the skin market behind CSGO. High quality knives are being traded for thousands of dollars. So betting with skins was a great way to make a profit. Even today the CSGO skin market is looking strong. Skin prices keep rising which makes betting so attractive.

This seems like an area of opportunity that can be exploited by those with the right knowledge, sport betting can be a very difficult field to get profits as casinos have all the statistics and tools to price games perfectly but esports are relatively new so it is impossible they can do this right now, especially since games change all the time and are updated and what was a good strategy becomes obsolete, so if you have a lot of knowledge on those games and you can earn profits may be this is the time to take advantage of it.

GG.bet is also my go-to, been betting with them since 2019. What I realize betting on a regular sports game vs on an esports match is that at times it's evident who will win or lose, even after the start of a game. See, esports don't really have that much underdogs, and whenever there is it's not like they win among the giants. So basically it's easier to bet on esports for me personally, than in regular sports like football or soccer

When it comes to winning chances then I do partly agree into your comment about you do able to spot out somehow on whose gonna win but still it isn't sure in everything.

The only difference is that on what is your interest in, because even chances or odds of winning is harder than the other one then it wouldn't matter because

you would eventually enjoy on what you are watching.Therefore, this do matter with interest.

Im a real fan of e-sports betting with the games dota2 and csgo and of course its better if I know those teams first but according to the OPs statement I didn't bet on those teams because OG does not have too much good statistics on that time and its goods if you are avoiding those games which are you don't know all the things about them and also have a concrete data about them. If you are trying to look some of the data most of the time I tried to check their forum at the gosu and watch their games so see hows their game play.

Esports betting was just an extra betting thing for me I just bet when the occasion occurs like my favorite gamer is playing and because I often bet on Sportsbetting with Bundesliga, UFC, and NBA.

Well, my suggestion will be this site the tried and tested one,

1) Sports Betting - I think this site is a thing and still a formidable legit site for crypto betting, there are Esports, Sportsbook, and other sports.

2) Nitrogen Sports - was a gambling site that has casino if there are no sportbooks or esports that you want to bet you can simply play with their casino games you can try and make your own account or as a guess account so you can go with betting fast.

3) Fortune Jack - I think this will be my last for now, It has casino as well you can play full sportsbooks and esports just try it and see for yourself that they are probably fair.

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.

GG.bet is also my go-to, been betting with them since 2019. What I realize betting on a regular sports game vs on an esports match is that at times it's evident who will win or lose, even after the start of a game. See, esports don't really have that much underdogs, and whenever there is it's not like they win among the giants. So basically it's easier to bet on esports for me personally, than in regular sports like football or soccer

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.

On the actual site or venue, you can bet with other fans that are into those games. I rarely see any of those games listed on a bookie, if there is, I think they're very few.

That would be too boring and taxing for you because you have to go to the venue yourself. The reason that it is rare is because most tournaments hosted are not that big and fighting games hasn't been a mainstream tournament game choice which is sad because it has a potential.

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.

There are a lot of people who are betting in DOTA 2 and the prize pool is always high compared to other games. Maybe soon I'll try to bet in a FPS games like that, I'm updated in our local tournament but I just don't feel about betting in that game because it is really unpredictable on which team is the best.

No doubt it's unpredictable to bet on esports but if you know the teams you are betting on, their playstyle, their weakness and their strength then it can help you a lot. For example, if you are betting on DOTA2 and observe some teams closely like Nigma, you will notice that player Miracle plays a few heroes amazingly while others not so well. Some even say that Miracle's Medusa is impossible to beat and these things help you make bets because you can see if the players are picking heroes they are comfortable with, then they have better chances while odds aren't much impacted with how the draft phase goes.

Most sports and esports are unpredictable but being able to know the comfortable picks of each players will also helps a lot in factoring on which team will win. Yes, knowing their gamestyle and training of will be the best knowledge to have which mostly can be seen on their streams. But there are times where they play different heroes when they are on and off streams. There are a lot of instances that a hero was picked eventhough you haven't seen them played with it.

I've never tried to bet in a live FPS esports game even though I played a lot of games like Valorant, CS:GO and COD etc.

Playing a game doesn't mean you will be good at betting, that's true, I played a lot of soccer in my college time but that doesn't make me good at betting on soccer. But knowing the sport certainly helps as you at least know all the rules and possibilities of winning and losing.

Being knowledgeable to the game your betting can help you determine the winner of game. On FPS games there are certain strategies where pro players do that can analyze by watching their games. But yes, it'll only help you determine the chances of that'll win but it can't make a professional gambler.

I bet on esports before actually trading crypto currencies. This probably because I played a lot of CSGO myself. When watching streams of the tourneys it comes from its own that you have favourite teams and want to get on them. The big thing for me to go into betting on esports was the skin market behind CSGO. High quality knives are being traded for thousands of dollars. So betting with skins was a great way to make a profit. Even today the CSGO skin market is looking strong. Skin prices keep rising which makes betting so attractive.

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've never tried to bet in a live FPS esports game even though I played a lot of games like Valorant, CS:GO and COD etc.

But I tried to bet in games like DOTA 2 and LOL which is a Multiplayer Online Battle Arena, because of the hype of other gamers.

There are a lot of people who are betting in DOTA 2 and the prize pool is always high compared to other games. Maybe soon I'll try to bet in a FPS games like that, I'm updated in our local tournament but I just don't feel about betting in that game because it is really unpredictable on which team is the best.

You can find the List of TOP 10 Esports Betting Sites here: http://100bookies.com/esports-betting-sites-eng/

You post your links out of context and without reading what is being asked. The link you shared is showing the top fiat sites and not even a single site accepts cryptocurrencies from what I know, except loot.bet who I believe accepts Bitcoins.

I do bet a lot on e-sports and mainly on League of Legends and Dota2 apart from occasionally betting on CS:GO when top teams are playing because the lower-ranked teams are just too inconsistent to even bet on.

There is some league always going on whether it's for LOL or DOTA2 and one good thing to bet on these e-sports is that we get a chance to analyze the drafts from both teams and then make our bets. Damwon Kia will win worlds, I feel this year.

Lot of people do place esports bets. As far as I remember, there are sites that allows you to place bets with "skins" or "keys", and then valve started to take some actions against them. Valve started to restrict those bot trading accounts that accepts wager (skins and keys). Not sure what happened afterwards, but I do see people still betting on games like csgo.
I have also seen few casinos that are offering esports bets and accepts crypto currencies. You may want to try that.

I know several bitcoin users who are into esports. Esports is a slow burner, but like what some said on this thread, it has been relatively booming once the lockdown got started. I've bet on a few CSGO matches and casino games during the peak of the pandemic and I noticed CSGO is the most prominent scene in Esports so far. Matches are quick, and there a lot of tipping or betting sites out there to choose from.

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.

I have made a few bets on esports as well, not much but as you said this increased during the last year in which we had such a shortage of sports due to the pandemic, however I really think esports and esports bets can become really popular during the next years and decades as in principle they are similar to sports betting, after all I practised some sports in my youth and I like to see what the very best can do in that sport, and the same is true with video games, I still play some video games from time to time and I like to see what the best can do with the very same tools.

The game that OP asked was a game of last year. But I think it's still appropriate to continue discussion about esports betting and much better if he goes back and discusses more about his esports bet on this thread. Well, he's online today and he seems to be focusing with his other thread.

I want to see something new like eSports bet on Streetfighter Tournaments, Mortal Kombat X or 11.

I placed bets on Evil Geniuses and Counter Logic Gaming from the LOL championship series and won them both luckily. Will be betting on a couple of Dota 2 pro circuit matches soon.

The only thing that gets new when it comes to eSports betting is the game that the people are betting on. I would love to see more competitive tournament worthy games gain fame to be a new star of eSports betting, not that I am bored with the current games being played but I want to see something new like eSports bet on Streetfighter Tournaments, Mortal Kombat X or 11. Good for you that you won your bets, it's difficult to place bets especially if the outcome is uncertain.

some esports tournaments are on hold not just the sportsbetting and if you dont like esports why would you force yourself to bet on it when chances is that you can loose but the following esports games dota and counter strike are already popular before the covid came .
there are modes in esports game and that can be long or short and not all sports games have a long duration .
i dont bet on the match the op is talking about but why he is verry obssed to know , whats the main point?
