How Esports Betting Works
Esports betting means placing bets on outcomes of professional video game competitions. Just like cricket or football, a betting platform publishes odds (prices based on probability) for various matches and players place bets according to their preference.
At cbaj, different markets are available before or during each esports match. A user logs into their account, picks a game or tournament, reviews the markets, considers the odds and places a bet of their chosen amount. If the outcome is correct, the winnings are added to the account according to the odds.
Remember, esports betting is purely for entertainment. Every bet carries the risk of losing money, so play within your means. Following the principles of responsible gaming is most important.
Popular Markets in Esports with Examples
The markets below are most commonly used in esports betting at cbaj. Understanding each one makes placing bets easier.
Match Winner
Choosing which of two teams will win. Example: in a CS2 match between Team A and Team B — you place a bet on Team B.
SimplestMap Winner
A market on which team wins a specific map (round) within a series in CS2 or Valorant. The bet is on one map's result, not the entire series.
CS2 / ValorantHandicap
When there is a difference in team strength, the weaker team is given an advantage. Example: giving Team A a -1.5 map handicap means they must win by 2 or more maps.
Margin MarketFirst Blood
Which team or player will get the first kill or objective. In Dota 2 or League of Legends this market settles within the first few minutes.
Quick ResultTotal Maps
An over/under market on how many maps will be played in a series. Example: whether the total maps in a Best-of-3 series will be over or under 2.5.
Over / UnderTournament Champion
A market where you bet in advance on who will win the entire tournament. Long-term, but odds are generally higher.
Long-Term MarketHow to Read Decimal, Fractional and American Odds
Odds appear in three formats on betting platforms. All three express the same probability — only the way they are written differs.
| Format | If Team A wins | If Team B wins (favourite) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | 1.50 |
| Fractional | 3/2 | 1/2 |
| American | +150 | -200 |
How to Read Odds
Decimal odds are the simplest: total return = stake × odds. In fractional odds, the right number is the stake and the left number is the profit. American plus (+) means how much profit on a ৳100 bet; minus (−) means how much you need to bet to win ৳100 profit.
Pre-Match vs Live Betting
Pre-Match Betting
- Bets are placed before the match starts
- Odds are fixed and less likely to change
- More time available to analyse markets
- All markets are open — match winner, handicap, tournament champion
- Ideal for new players
Live Betting (In-Play)
- Bets can be placed in real time while the match is ongoing
- Odds change from moment to moment
- Opportunity to make decisions based on how the match is going
- First blood, next map winner — in-game moment markets
- Requires the ability to make quick decisions
Both types of betting are available at cbaj. For live betting, focus and the ability to decide calmly are important. Visit the cbaj Bet section to see both types of markets in one place.
Useful Tips and Common Mistakes
-
01
Set a budget: Before each session, decide on a fixed amount for yourself and do not go beyond that limit. Rushing to place larger bets to recover lost money is a common mistake.
-
02
Focus on one game: In the beginning, give full attention to one game like CS2 or Dota 2. Joining multiple game markets without understanding them leads to poor results.
-
03
Watch live matches: Understanding the game format before betting is important. Handicap and total map markets work differently in Best-of-3 or Best-of-5 series.
-
04
Control your emotions: Bias towards your favourite team is one of the biggest mistakes. Betting is part of entertainment — no outcome is guaranteed.
-
05
Be careful with multi-bets: If you combine multiple matches into a multi-bet, losing just one match loses the entire stake. Example: three selections at decimal odds of 1.40, 1.60 and 1.90 combined give total odds of 4.26 — a ৳100 bet returns ৳426 if all win, but loses the full ৳100 if even one loses.
