Getting into esports betting is as simple as choosing your markets and placing your bet. But diving in head-first like this could lead to some costly mistakes, so before you bet, keep the following tips in mind:
1. Know your game
Bet on games that you watch and play games that you bet on. It’s a simple but essential rule. Some esports can be very confusing if you don’t understand what’s happening and this is especially true for the likes of League of Legends and Dota 2.Â
Fortunately, you can play these games yourself. Just download them on your computer or console, play them and immerse yourself in the world. Not only will this make it easier to understand the betting markets, but you can follow every minute of the action and actually know what’s happening!
Alternatively, you can stick with games that you already partially know. Big fan of football? Bet on games of FIFA. Like first-person shooter games? You’ll adapt to Call of Duty or Counter-Strike straightaway.
2. Study the Teams
You wouldn’t bet on a football game if you knew nothing about the teams and players, and it’s the same story with cyber sports. Before you place your bets take a look at the teams and the players, familiarize yourself with them, study them and this knowledge will come in handy.
A little online research can help you here as will simply watching the games.
3. Stick with one genre
Once you find a game that you like, stick with it, become a master and only move on when you understand everything about it.
You don’t want to be a jack of all trades and a master of one, not in this industry because being a master will help you to get ahead and secure more consistent wins.
