Betting on Dota2

Recently, betting on eSports has become particularly popular and many bettors are interested in a variety of disciplines. But most often it’s Dota2, where the competitive nuances have changed quite a bit over time, adding to the interest. But at the same time, there are new tactics and ways to analyse them that increase your chances of winning.

What you need to know

It’s important to know all the rules and features of the game, so as to minimise your risk. It is best to know the strengths of the teams straight away, so you know who you are betting on. Before the match, you can find out who is sick, how they are performing and if there is an internal conflict in the team. All this influences the outcome of the team.

Before the start of the tournament it is not advised to bet on the first matches, in order to find out who is capable of what. If a team beats the clear favourites, but loses to the underdogs, it is better to avoid betting on it.

Analysis

This is one of the most important points and should be:

1. Find personal statistics of meetings between the teams.
2. Examine any news regarding substitutions and the various factors that may affect the outcome of the game.
3. Familiarize yourself with the results of recent tournament performances to understand the meta.

As far as meta is concerned, these are the general trends in the game between major upgrades. They are all aimed at maximizing performance.

Methos in Dota2 can be:

1. Heroes.
2. Items.
3. Elements of strategy.

It is important to note that the meta affects the tempo of the game, i.e. the number of maps and time, availability of battles and kills.

And with an understanding of the meta, one can see if personal stats are an exception.  But if the current tournament has, say, no more than 50 kills, while the team has always shown 70+ kills, then the personal stats are not always justified.

What bookmaker should I choose for Dota2 betting?

In today’s betting market there are a number of companies that provide services in this area. But there are those that have already proven themselves. For example, BetCity offers great odds and a wide spread on eSports, including Dota2.

In this case, the user can get a bonus from the company for registration, which is an additional plus.

Betting strategies

For the newcomer, the best solution would be to consider a flat. The essence of the strategy is to continuously bet a certain amount on any event. But it is best to take from 5 to 105 of the bankroll.

But you should not just mindlessly bet, but analyse everything and keep track of what is happening.

Card Total

In this case, it is important to consider face-to-face statistics, regional specifics and trends. Depending on the region, you can understand how often all 3 cards are drawn, where the score is always even and it all comes down to the final card.

And the best solution would be to skip a third or half stage and then you can look and make a decision towards a TM on the cards or a TB, depending on how the situation develops.

Betting on the team’s result

You have to identify the team and keep track of its results. And it doesn’t have to be a strong team, you can bet on an underdog.
