I don't think so that there's a trick in esports betting. I'm always betting in underdog team, that can go along with the game play of the other team. Why? Because I like to take the greater risk to get high return.
How has that turned out to be so far? I think on average only 2 of 10 situations that underdogs in any fixture wins. I haven't tried betting that that kinda risk before. It's more like throwing money away without the slightest hope of getting it back.
For me, I just like toying with lower risk. I even double chance of the top dogs to win just to be on the safer side. Well, My success rate has improved significantly even if the rewards aren't much.
