Bet on esports and Win

Although esports, which is defined as any contest involving video games, have existed for years, they are more mainstream now than they have ever been before. Squads, regulatory bodies and large events are getting more organised, with bespoke arenas in Las Vegas and other cities. Athletes involved in esports, also known as electronic sports, are also getting the recognition they deserve. For the first time it is possible to make a living this way, and some colleges have started offering electronic sports scholarships.

Along with all of this development, a lot of which can be credited to more exposure to online games, and the increase in available markets, of course it almost goes without saying that New Zealanders can find the best odds here at Spin Sports.

Before you start wagering and winning big at our trustworthy sportsbook, allow us to introduce some of the most widespread electronic sports games: Counterstrike: Global Offensive (CS:GO), Defence of the Ancients 2 (DOTA 2), StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, and League of Legends (LoL). Get to grips with these, and you’ll be in a good position to expand and bet on other titles that are less frequently seen.

Each of these games have several serious tournaments dedicated to them, including the LoL World Championships (often simply called “Worlds”), the Dreamhack Masters for CS:GO, the DOTA 2 International and the Global StarCraft II League.

As a First Person Shooter (FPS) game, CS:GO is particularly simple to follow, making it a good launching pad for your first sports betting experience on esports. From here, you can move on to StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, which has a greater emphasis on strategy and demands more insight.

In LoL and DOTA 2, squads need to work together to reach specific locations and achieve other goals. They are examples of Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) titles, and require the same degree of teamwork that is needed in physical sports such as Ice Hockey and Volleyball.

The most common wagers on electronic sports include who will win a game or tournament overall, and how many kills each gamer will make. Specific Prop bets, which depend on the particulars of each game, are also offered.

Before you put any money down, as always, check the odds and insiders’ expert opinions. There is a particular wealth of information available for these events, so make sure you do your homework. In particular, try to find out how the gamers on a squad get along, because teamwork is so important, and how healthy the athletes are. Increasingly, the importance of physical and mental health in this discipline is being recognised, and professionals often employ trainers, nutritionists, and even psychologists. Find out about all of these factors, and use the knowledge to place shrewder bets at Spin Sports online and mobile sports betting sites.
