traditional sports betting. You place a wager on the outcome of a match or tournament, and if your prediction is correct, you win. The amount you win depends on the odds, which are set by the bookmaker. However, you bet on gaming instead of regular sports.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20887 size-full aligncenter\" title=\"How to Bet on eSports\" src=\"https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/How-to-Bet-on-eSports.jpg\" alt=\"How to Bet on eSports\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/How-to-Bet-on-eSports.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/How-to-Bet-on-eSports-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/How-to-Bet-on-eSports-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n<p>Odds are typically presented in two formats: decimal and fractional. In the UK, fractional odds are the most common. These are displayed as two numbers separated by a slash (e.g., 4\/1). The first number indicates how much profit you&#8217;ll make for every unit staked, represented by the second number.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if a team has odds of 4\/1, this means that for every \u00a31 you bet, you&#8217;ll win \u00a34 if your bet is successful (plus your original \u00a31 stake back). See <a href=\"https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/guides\/betting-odds-explained\/\">Betting Odds Explained<\/a> for more details.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"eSports_Betting_Example\">eSports Betting Example<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Let&#8217;s say you want to bet \u00a310 on a team to win a <i>Counter-Strike: Global Offensive<\/i> (CS:GO) match. The team has odds of 5\/2.<\/p>\n<p>If they win, your return would be \u00a335 (\u00a310 stake x 5\/2 odds = \u00a325 profit + \u00a310 stake), and your profit would be \u00a325.<\/p>\n<p>To calculate potential returns for different stakes and odds, you can use our <a href=\"https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/bet-calculator\/\">free bet calculator<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to remember that odds are not fixed and can change based on various factors, such as team performance and betting patterns.

Let\u2019s dive into some essential eSports tips, so you know how to bet on eSports the right way.<br \/>\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#d9d8d8;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#f3f2f2;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">\n<h3><span id=\"Know_the_Games\">Know the Games<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>With eSports betting UK bookies offer bets on loads of genres, from first-person shooters (FPS) like <i>Counter-Strike: Global Offensive<\/i>(CS:GO) and <i>Valorant<\/i>, to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/technology\/article\/moba-games\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">multiplayer online battle arenas<\/a> (MOBA) like <i>League of Legends<\/i> and <i>Dota 2<\/i>. Each game has its own unique mechanics, strategies, and meta.<\/p>\n<p>Before placing a bet, familiarise yourself with the rules, gameplay, and common strategies of the game you&#8217;re interested in. This will help you understand the strengths and weaknesses of different teams and players, and make more informed predictions.<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#d9d8d8;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#f3f2f2;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">\n<h3><span id=\"Research_the_Players\">Research the Players<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Just like in traditional sports, eSports teams and players have varying skill levels, strategies, and form. Before placing a bet, research the teams and players involved in the match. Look at their recent performance, head-to-head records, and any recent changes in the team roster.<\/p>\n<p>Consider factors such as player injuries, team morale, and any recent patches or updates to the game that might affect the outcome. By staying up-to-date with the latest eSports news and developments, you&#8217;ll be better equipped to make informed decisions.<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#d9d8d8;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#f3f2f2;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">\n<h3><span id=\"Explore_the_Markets\">Explore the Markets<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>eSports wagering offers a wide variety of markets beyond simply picking the winner of a match. You can bet on individual map winners, total rounds played, first blood, or even specific in-game events like the first team to destroy a tower.<\/p>\n<p>Some markets are easier to predict than others, so it&#8217;s important to explore and find the ones that suit your knowledge and betting style. For example, if you have a deep understanding of a particular game&#8217;s map pool, you might find success in betting on map winners.<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#d9d8d8;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#f3f2f2;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">\n<h3><span id=\"Consider_Momentum\">Consider Momentum<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Teams and players often go through streaks of winning or losing. A team that has been consistently performing well is more likely to continue their winning streak, while a team in a slump might struggle to bounce back.<\/p>\n<p>However, it&#8217;s important to remember that momentum can shift quickly in eSports. An underdog team can upset a favourite, and a single player&#8217;s performance can swing the outcome of a match. Consider momentum alongside other factors like team composition, map selection, and recent performance.<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#d9d8d8;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#f3f2f2;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">\n<h3><span id=\"Get_the_Best_eSports_Odds\">Get the Best eSports Odds<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Different bookmakers offer varying odds for the same eSports events. To maximise your potential returns, it&#8217;s essential to shop around and compare odds from different bookmakers before placing your bets.<\/p>\n<p>Consider using an odds comparison website or app to quickly compare the eSports betting odds offered by different bookmakers. By consistently seeking out the best odds, you&#8217;ll ensure that you&#8217;re getting the most value out of your bets.<\/div><\/div>\n<h2><span id=\"eSports_Spread_Betting\">eSports Spread Betting<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Spread betting is a different type of wager compared to traditional fixed-odds betting. Instead of betting on a specific outcome, you&#8217;re betting on whether a particular statistic in the match will be higher or lower than a set number (the spread).<\/p>\n<p>For example, in a CS:GO match, <a href=\"https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/esports\/\">eSports bookmakers<\/a> might offer a spread on the total number of rounds played. Let&#8217;s say the spread is set at 26.5. You can either &#8220;buy&#8221; the spread, meaning you bet the total rounds will be over 26.5, or &#8220;sell&#8221; the spread, betting the total will be under 26.5.<\/p>\n<p>Your profit or loss depends on how far away the actual result is from the spread. If you buy at 26.5 and the total rounds played are 30, you win 3.5 times your stake. However, if the total rounds are 24, you lose 2.5 times your stake.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s compare it to our earlier example:<\/p>\n<p>Traditional Bet:<br \/>\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\">\n<ul>\n<li><svg width=\"20\" height=\"21\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 21\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M0 10.4819C0 4.95909 4.47715 0.481934 10 0.481934C15.5228 0.481934 20 4.95909 20 10.4819C20 16.0048 15.5228 20.4819 10 20.4819C4.47715 20.4819 0 16.0048 0 10.4819Z\" fill=\"#E1F4E7\"\/><path d=\"M5.75635 10.4087L8.63432 13.2866L14.2437 7.67725\" stroke=\"#1C2642\" stroke-width=\"2\"\/><\/svg> Bet \u00a310 on a team to win at odds of 5\/2.<\/li>\n<li><svg width=\"20\" height=\"21\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 21\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M0 10.4819C0 4.95909 4.47715 0.481934 10 0.481934C15.5228 0.481934 20 4.95909 20 10.4819C20 16.0048 15.5228 20.4819 10 20.4819C4.47715 20.4819 0 16.0048 0 10.4819Z\" fill=\"#E1F4E7\"\/><path d=\"M5.75635 10.4087L8.63432 13.2866L14.2437 7.67725\" stroke=\"#1C2642\" stroke-width=\"2\"\/><\/svg> If they win, you get a \u00a335 return (\u00a325 profit + \u00a310 stake).<\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Spread Bet:<br \/>\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\">\n<ul>\n<li><svg width=\"20\" height=\"21\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 21\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M0 10.4819C0 4.95909 4.47715 0.481934 10 0.481934C15.5228 0.481934 20 4.95909 20 10.4819C20 16.0048 15.5228 20.4819 10 20.4819C4.47715 20.4819 0 16.0048 0 10.4819Z\" fill=\"#E1F4E7\"\/><path d=\"M5.75635 10.4087L8.63432 13.2866L14.2437 7.67725\" stroke=\"#1C2642\" stroke-width=\"2\"\/><\/svg> Bet \u00a310 on the total rounds being over 26.5.<\/li>\n<li><svg width=\"20\" height=\"21\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 21\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M0 10.4819C0 4.95909 4.47715 0.481934 10 0.481934C15.5228 0.481934 20 4.95909 20 10.4819C20 16.0048 15.5228 20.4819 10 20.4819C4.47715 20.4819 0 16.0048 0 10.4819Z\" fill=\"#E1F4E7\"\/><path d=\"M5.75635 10.4087L8.63432 13.2866L14.2437 7.67725\" stroke=\"#1C2642\" stroke-width=\"2\"\/><\/svg> If the total is 30, you win \u00a335 (3.5 x \u00a310 stake).<\/li>\n<li><svg width=\"20\" height=\"21\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 21\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M0 10.4819C0 4.95909 4.47715 0.481934 10 0.481934C15.5228 0.481934 20 4.95909 20 10.4819C20 16.0048 15.5228 20.4819 10 20.4819C4.47715 20.4819 0 16.0048 0 10.4819Z\" fill=\"#E1F4E7\"\/><path d=\"M5.75635 10.4087L8.63432 13.2866L14.2437 7.67725\" stroke=\"#1C2642\" stroke-width=\"2\"\/><\/svg> If the total is 24, you lose \u00a325 (2.5 x \u00a310 stake).<\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As you can see, spread betting offers a different way to approach eSports betting with potentially higher payouts, but also increased risk.<\/p>\n<p>Spread betting can be more complex and riskier than traditional betting, but it also offers the potential for higher rewards. Check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/guides\/spread-betting\/\">dedicated guide to spread betting<\/a> for a more in-depth explanation.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Popular_eSports_Betting_Markets\">Popular eSports Betting Markets<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When betting eSports, you\u2019ll find a wide variety of markets to suit different interests and levels of expertise. Some markets are straightforward and easy to understand, while others are more complex and require a deeper knowledge of the game. Let&#8217;s take a closer look at some of the most popular eSports online betting markets:<br \/>\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#d9d8d8;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#f3f2f2;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">\n<h3><span id=\"Outright_Winner\">Outright Winner<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This is a simple and popular market where you bet on which team or player will win an entire tournament or league. Outright winner bets are usually placed before the tournament starts, but some <a href=\"https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/\">online bookmakers<\/a> also offer live outright betting during the event. This market is usually offered across every game, from Fortnite wagers to CS:GO tournaments and more.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Match_Winner\">Match Winner<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Similar to outright winners, but for individual matches instead of whole tournaments. You bet on which team or player will win the match. This is the most common type of eSports bet, and it&#8217;s often used in combination with other markets to create accumulator bets. Most eSports betting sites will offer this market.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Match_Handicap\">Match Handicap<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Handicap betting is used to even out the odds in matches where one team is considered a strong favourite. The bookmaker gives the underdog a virtual advantage (positive handicap), while the favourite starts with a virtual disadvantage (negative handicap). This makes the bet more balanced and potentially more profitable.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if Team A is a strong favourite against Team B, the bookmaker might offer a handicap of -1.5 maps for Team A. This means Team A has to win the match by at least two maps for your bet to win. Take a look at our <a href=\"https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/guides\/what-is-handicap-in-betting\/\">handicap betting guide<\/a> for more info.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Total_Kills\">Total Kills<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This market involves betting on the total number of kills in a match. The bookmaker sets a line, and you bet on whether the actual number of kills will be over or under that line.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the bookmaker might set the line at 26.5 kills for a CS:GO match. You can bet on the total kills being over 26.5 (over) or under 26.5 (under).<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Map_Winner\">Map Winner<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In games like CS:GO, Valorant, and Dota 2, matches are played across multiple maps. This market allows you to bet on which team will win a specific map. This is a popular market for live betting, as the odds can shift dramatically depending on how the map is unfolding.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"First_Blood\">First Blood<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This market is simple yet exciting. You bet on which team or player will get the first kill in a match. This is often a good market to bet on if you have a strong opinion on which team will start the match more aggressively.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Total_Rounds\">Total Rounds<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In games like CS:GO and Valorant, matches are played in rounds. This market involves betting on the total number of rounds played in a match. The bookmaker sets a line, and you bet on whether the actual number of rounds will be over or under that line.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Other_Popular_Markets\">Other Popular Markets<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>These are just a few of the many online eSports betting markets available.
