Since OP said that he will add esport but he still not do it yet and I also doing comparisons on esport too. I decided to shared it here.

I have to included 1xbit here because It provide biggest coverage in esport. Can't skip them sorry.

ESPORT:
- = Not available.
|Sportsbook|Match Winner Margin|Over/Under Margin|Handicap Margin|
|Buff88|5.88%|6.25%|6.21%|
|1xbit|7.40%|9.77%|8.56%|
|mBitCasino|5.88%|6.25%|6.21%|
|Nitrogen|5.97%|-|-|
|Sportsbet.io|5.90%|7.86%|7.97%|

Now compare with real money sportsbook.

|Sportsbook|Match Winner Margin|Over/Under Margin|Handicap Margin|
|bet365|7.61%|9.11%|5.79%|
|Pinnacle|4.87%|-|4.78%|
|gg.bet|5.53%|7.53%|7.41%|

Overall: esport have extremely high margin. Even Pinnacle have 4.87% margin. I hope in future some sportsbook can step up and give better margin than this.

Thanks for doing this! Mind if I add it to the thread (with credit to you)?

Also, what event(s) did you compare? I would expect that margins highly differ in eSports depending on the event - some minor CS:GO qualifier is going to have a higher margin than LoL Worlds.
