E-Sports Betting Strategies

  • Follow the Meta: E-Sports games receive regular patches. Teams that adapt quickly to meta changes often outperform. Check patch notes before betting.
  • Track Roster Changes: Player transfers significantly impact team performance. A team losing their star player may take months to recover.
  • Consider Map Pools: In CS2/Valorant, some teams excel on specific maps. Check head-to-head records on individual maps.
  • Time Zone Fatigue: Asian teams playing at EU/NA times (or vice versa) may underperform due to jet lag and schedule disruption.
  • Live Betting Advantage: E-Sports live odds swing dramatically. A team down 0-1 in maps may have inflated odds if you know they're strong on the remaining maps.
