Even those of you who have no interest in sports will have noticed that everything that has been going on in the last few years has really affected how sports have been played \u2013 if it has been played at all. That obviously had a knock on effect on sports betting. If there were no games being played \u2013 how could you place a bet?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, what you may not know is that esports have become more and more popular recently \u2013 and hit a new high during the pandemic. Sportsbooks such as BetOnline<\/a> made sure that they were still offering their customers betting opportunities \u2013 and esports fit the bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you read this site we assume that you know quite a bit about esports. But do you know how to bet on esports \u2013 with confidence? Read on to find out how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shop Around for a Sportsbook<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This tip is especially important if you are new to online betting. That might be because you have little interest in conventional sports \u2013 or simply because betting has only just become legal in your location. But, whichever reason it is, make sure that you do your research into the sportsbook you are signing up to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good news is that you can sign up with as many sportsbooks as you like anyway. But you should ensure that there is a good range of esports covered \u2013 and that there is a variety of betting markets too. Take a look at the odds as well. Even the smallest difference between sportsbooks can have a big effect on your potential winnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bet on Esports that You Play Yourself<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You would not expect someone who doesn\u2019t play or watch basketball to have much success on betting on the NBA finals. There are, of course, professional bettors that concentrate on betting more than the sports themselves. But we are talking about a level where you enjoy a bet, rather than depend on the winnings to pay your bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you <\/a>bet on esports titles that you play<\/a> yourself, you will be able to use your own expert knowledge to inform your wagers. You know how the games play \u2013 and how what is needed to win. After taking a look at who is playing the event you should be able to be more confident in picking a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Esports
Esports events can attract big crowds<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Check for Promotions and Bonuses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is another one for the non-traditional sports bettors. Sportsbooks will routinely offer bonuses and promotions to entice new customers to sign up for an account. You need an account to be able to bet, so there is a lot of competition between sportsbooks when it comes to new players \u2013 especially in a (relatively) new area like esports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t be taken in by the first big offer you see though. All these new customer promotions will come with terms and conditions. These are usually fairly straightforward \u2013 but just make sure that you know exactly what you have to do to claim and activate the bonus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do Your Research on the Players<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This tip follows on from betting on what you know. We expect that you know enough about gaming and esports to know at least a little about the players at the top of their game. Combine that with your knowledge of the game in question and you should be able to confidently have a go at predicting how an event might pan out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bet Responsibly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our final tip when it comes to betting on esports is probably the most important. Combining a love of esports and betting should be fun. This is not supposed to be a new career path, or a way of making huge amounts of money easily. Of course, the point is to pick up some winnings \u2013 but not at the expense of your mental and physical health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure that you are betting well within your budget and that you don\u2019t go chasing winnings when you lose. It\u2019s just a bit of fun after all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
