Why is eSports betting so interesting and exciting?

by

Betting on eSports is an exciting experience for both professional bettors and for the more inexperienced or recreational punters. This is because eSports feature some particular characteristics and distinctive elements that make any tournament or competition a very challenging task for bettors. 

Added to the fact that now eSports are included into the betting markets of all the top bookmakers and the best betting sites in Malaysia and in other places around the world, betting on eSports is now gaining momentum!

What makes betting on eSports such a unique experience for anyone who decides to wager on a CS:GO tournament or a LoL World Championship?

Well, there are a few things that set eSports apart from traditional sports when it comes to betting and it is these things that make it so interesting, intriguing and challenging. Let’s see those. 

Different types and structures of tournaments

eSports’ events and competitions generally take place in two forms: there are the online tournaments and the LAN tournaments. The online tournaments are happening on the internet, while the LAN (Local Area Network) tournaments are happening in physical, designated centers where the participating players and the teams are physically present. 

Of course this on its own is not a key feature that makes eSports betting interesting. What this implies is the brilliance of eSports betting. As a bettor you need to be able to isolate only those information, data, stats and records that are meaningful for any given game. 

For example, the home advantage is never applicable in eSports betting as nobody gets to play in his own court and due to the fact that tournaments are not so wide open to public attendance, there is hardly ever the case that the cheerful crowd can boost motivation. 

Teams and players are on their own, left with their skills and competencies and they are striving to utilize them in the best way possible to win. So, from a betting perspective, there is no distraction. Everything comes down to the quality and the capabilities of the teams. 

High degree of volatility and constantly changing landscape

In eSports everything happens too fast and everything changes too quickly. There is always a new team down the road, a new player waiting around the corner and a new realistic contender for the tournament prize. 

New teams may emerge as leaders and top players so fast that if you don’t follow carefully what’s going on, the news, latest records and get updated often, then you will most likely be left behind. 

From a betting perspective being left behind is a disaster! It is quite impossible to gain an edge if you have no idea what is going on now! But that’s also the brilliance in eSports betting: you are never getting bored, there is always something new to watch out for or explore and there is always more to read and learn if you want to have good chances of winning. Betting on eSports keeps you engaged!

Different types of bets

And besides the above, it is also that eSports betting gives bettors the chance to bet on totally different markets than the ones in typical sports betting. Just think that you can find markets like First Blood, first map and other prop bets in Worlds 2023, which are nothing like what we are used to find in the traditional sports like football, basketball, tennis or any other game that is regularly betted on. 
With eSports betting you get to explore a new type of bets, all of which are particularly suited to each and every game and make sense to those who love eSports and enjoy wagering on eSports’ events.
