The online betting industry is growing every single day, which is why there are millions of bettors from all over the world. Despite the fact most of them prefer to punt on “regular” sports, there is one thing that is slowly but steadily taking over the sports betting industry, and that’s eSports.
Playing computer games for a living was difficult back in the days. Only a few were fortunate enough to do that. Nowadays, things are different because there are events where the prize pool can reach millions of dollars. Needless to say, they attract a lot of attention, especially among online bettors.
If you are considering to try your luck on one of the many eSports, there are some things that you should know before that. Hopefully, they will help you when you decide to place your bet.
Make sure you read the latest changes regarding the given game
If you don’t know anything about eSports, it will be tough to figure out how things work. Apart from the fact you need to research every team and player, you also need to pay special attention to the game itself.
Every eSport title is either a computer or a mobile game. Apart from the pros, casual gamers also play these games, so developers release updates all the time. Most eSports games receive frequent but smaller changes that don’t have such a drastic impact on the game. However, some of them get only a few updates per year, and each one completely changes the game.
So, once you check out the various sportsbooks available in Canada and choose one, please take a look at the available eSports and search for more information about them. The good thing is that we can do that pretty fast because each game has an update log somewhere on the developer’s website.
Read more information about the specific tournament you’re planning to bet on
Some games, such as Dota 2, have hundreds of tournaments. If you choose to bet on some of the more popular ones, you will find the best teams and players, so you just need to select the one you like the most. However, some regional events might be completely different from the ones you’re used to.
Consequently, you need to read each tournament’s rules. Sometimes, you might find that the game mode is entirely different.
Browse through the available markets
Before you place your bet, go through the different markets to see whether the given operator has what you’re looking for. Unfortunately, some betting websites still don’t have enough options for those types of sports, which is strange, considering the fact many people love them.
Don’t forget that you will have access to additional markets once the given eSports event begins.
Try to predict what will happen in the given game
Predicting what could happen in the next couple of minutes is something that you can do only if you have a lot of eSports experience. Apart from the fact you need to understand the game, you also need to know the teams and what they usually do in similar situations.
If you manage to develop this skill, you will probably become more successful.
