(Newswire.net — July 14, 2020) — Esports are the new cultural phenomenon in our society, blending together the worlds of entertainment and sports in a way never before thought possible. The industry is worth more than the worlds of video and music put together, and things such as online streaming and social media allow for more connection between fans, players and organisations.
As with every major sport around the world, betting and wagering has become the best way of ramping up the excitement and adding a bit more spice to proceedings. Here’s our five tips on how to get ahead in your Esports wagering.
Hone in on one game
It’s a common mistake to assume that ‘Esports’ is a singular entity that you can dip in and out of. Instead, it’s better to think of ‘Esports’ as an umbrella term which dozens and dozens of video games can fit under. Each game has its own separate community and range of betting markets, and all of them require hundreds of hours worth of investment to truly understand enough to make money out of.
Just as someone who bets on football or soccer doesn’t start wildly betting on basketball or baseball, an Esports wagering veteran knows their strongest game and works at making the most they can out of it.
Read tips
Unikrn.com houses one of the best Esports betting tips pages found anywhere online and, for those maybe not too familiar with the ins and outs of wagering on video games, these sorts of pages can be absolutely invaluable.
Take the time to read up on the latest tips from the experts and let them do the hard work for you. Most of the time these pages will come with handy statistics, analysis and suggested markets that will cut out hours worth of research needed to find the bet that’s right for you.
Back yourself
Of course if the likes of Faze or Fnatic aren’t your cup of tea, there’s always the option of backing yourself and earn money playing games. The beauty of Esports is the technology it employs in comparison to real-world sports and how many doors it’s able to open for players to get stuck in with. Unikrn have developed a player vs. house mode that allows users to choose from a range of different challenges from some of their favorite Esports titles and place wagers on which ones they think they’ll be able to complete.
For someone who is interested in gaming, but not so hot on the world of competitive titles, this can be the perfect compromise. It eliminates the threat of sharking or hustlers, means you’re not surfing through confusing odds, spreads and markets and doesn’t punish someone for not being an Esports fanatic.
Distinguish between winning bets and value bets
In something like football, it’s easy to score a value bet. On top of picking between win, lose or draw, there’s a plethora of markets on first goalscorer, how many goals are going to be scored, the amount of bookings, substitutions, corners etc.
In Esports, it’s a bit harder to do that. The markets aren’t quite as fleshed out and varied yet, and simply picking a winner between two teams is hardly going to make you a fortune. Instead, look to build parlays and multi-bets that really ramp up the odds and increase the values of the wins that come in to really score big.
